Is BN-Umno really back to political invincibility?

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12, 2026: Is the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN-Umno) really back to political invincibility after “seizing” the Negri Sembilan (N9) government from Pakatan Harapan (PH)?

BN won 18 seats, PH 11 and PN (Perikatan Nasional) seven).

BN is only able to form the government with the support of the Taliban-like PAS-led PN.

So, things are not as bad as it looks for multi-racial Malaysians who treasure national unity and harmony.

For multi-racial Malaysia to survive in the next general election (GE16), Malaysians must seriously think about the future if governance falls into the hands of religious bigots and pencuri-pencuri (thieves).

They must united and come out in full force to cast their ballots in ever state and GE16 elections to deny the bigots and pencuri-pencuri from taking over multi-racial Malaysia.

Here’s a montage of a few of Umno’s governance and failure to the trust of rakyat dan negara (people and country):

A tri-political force to challenge GRS in Sabah?

A tri-political force to challenge GRS in Sabah?

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12, 2026: Former Sabah Chief Minister and Cabinet Minister Shafie Apdal ahs started preparation for the next general election (GE16).

The Warisan president who led his party to a 25-seat victory in the November Sabah polls that featured DAP losing all seats contested (including incumbents) is in talks with Jeffrey Kitingan’s Star and Priscella Peter’s Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat/Social Democratic Harmony Party (KDM).

Should the talks succeed in forming a political coalition, they would certainly be giving Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) a run for their money, a hope for a better multi-racial Malaysia through socio-economic progress via prudent and good governance.

That’s what is happening in Sabah.

In Sarawak, premier Abang Jo and his PBB-led Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) are expected to sweep the state and parliamentary seats for multi-racial Malaysians.

That leaves for all to see what happens in the peninsula or West Malaysia where racial and religious bigots are threatening national unity and harmony daily.

Can Bersama, led by staunch reformists Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, win enough parliamentary seats to make the difference, if not form the federal government at least provide a strong check-and-balance force to keep the corrupt at bay.

West Malaysians should seriously think carefully about their future in GE16.

Leaving their future to bigoted politicians and pencuri-pencuri (thieves) Umno is certainly no future for multi-racial Malaysians and their generations.

No News Is Bad News opines that there must be a change for the better and that Malaysians need to vote according to this priority: Bersama, Muda, PSM and then Pakatan Harapan (PH) for a check-and balanced federal government.

Perikatan Nasional (PN) and BN-Umno must be dumped by multi-racial Malaysians who treasure national unity and harmony.

There are no two ways about this - anything but racial and religious bigots for multi-racial Malaysia.

Star open to forming an alliance with Warisan

Published on: Wednesday, August 12, 2026

By: Gerry Lewis

 

Kota Kinabalu: Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) Sabah President Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey G Kitingan says he is open to Parti Warisan’s proposal to form an alliance of Sabah-based parties as an alternative to the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).

He said Star was studying all possibilities in depth, but declined to comment further on the speculation and rumours that have circulated widely in recent months.

Commenting on Warisan President Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal’s statement on the proposed alliance, Jeffrey said discussions on cooperation among local parties were still ongoing, with all sides working to reach a common understanding before any decision was finalised.

He stressed the importance of presenting a united voice at the Federal level, saying Sabah MPs must have a sufficiently strong voice in Parliament to safeguard Sabah’s rights, Federal representation and the interests of the State’s indigenous people.

Jeffrey also addressed the possibility of working with parties that had previously been involved in controversies over illegal immigrants, noting that while he had strongly criticised Warisan over issues involving illegal immigrants, Project IC and migrant registration programmes, political decisions must be assessed in a broader context for Sabah’s long-term interests.

“We care about demographic changes and the rights of Sabah’s indigenous people, but will not reject any form of cooperation if it could deliver maximum benefits to the State,” he stressed.

Warisan-STAR-KDM pact could give GRS a serious fight, says analyst

Awang Azman Pawi says an electoral understanding among the three local parties can make them ‘very formidable, but not automatically dominant’.

 Analysts said a pact among Warisan, headed by Shafie Apdal (left), STAR, led by Jeffrey Kitingan (centre), and KDM, whose acting president is Priscella Peter, will be a formidable force.

PETALING JAYA: A pact among Warisan, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) and Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) could pose a serious challenge to Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) in the 16th general election, an analyst says.

However, he adds, this does not necessarily guarantee victory in the polls.

As Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya sees it, an electoral understanding among the three parties could make them “very formidable, but not automatically dominant”.

“Potentially, it is a very good idea for all three parties, given that the biggest problem faced by local parties in Sabah has often been fragmentation rather than a lack of support,” he told FMT.

 Awang Azman Pawi.

On Sunday, Warisan president Shafie Apdal revealed that his party, STAR and KDM were already in talks for a possible pact for GE16.

However, he added that no deal had been struck yet, but Sabah’s rights and interests would be the basis of any agreement reached.

Warisan did not do well in GE15 in 2022, winning only eight of the 17 parliamentary seats it contested. But it won 25 seats in the Sabah state election last November, just four fewer than GRS. STAR won two, while KDM won only one seat.

GRS eventually cobbled together a simple majority with the support of Pakatan Harapan (PH), Barisan Nasional (BN), the United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) and an independent, enabling it to form a government.

Awang Azman pointed out that collectively, Warisan, STAR and KDM already have 28 seats, just one fewer than GRS.

But more significant is the fact that Warisan alone garnered 25.6% of the popular vote, ahead of GRS’s 25.4%. “(This may seem marginal but) combined with STAR’s 6.5% and KDM’s 4.8%, they already have 36.9% of the votes,” he said.

Nonetheless, he conceded that the votes might not necessarily be transferable as a bloc among the three parties, given that they had fielded candidates against each other in many constituencies previously.

Geographical and political interdependence

Awang Azman and another analyst, Lee Kuok Tiung of Universiti Malaysia Sabah, agree that Warisan, STAR and KDM could complement each other politically and geographically.

Both agree that Warisan is strong in urban and semi-urban areas, on the east coast and in Muslim-Bumiputera constituencies.

 Lee Kuok Tiung.

They said STAR’s wins in Tambunan and Bingkor, along with KDM’s victory in Paginatan, underscored their strong hold in the interior and in Kadazan Dusun Murut-majority areas.

But Awang Azman said the biggest benefit is not necessarily the ability, if any, of STAR and KDM to deliver a large number of additional votes to Warisan.

“It is (the fact) that they can prevent the ‘vote-Sabah first’ supporters from being divided among several candidates,” he added.

Partnering with STAR and KDM therefore helps Warisan address one of its weaknesses — its limited penetration into parts of the interior Kadazan Dusun-Murut electorate, where local personalities and grassroots networks remain particularly important.

Counter-narratives

But while a pact among the three may look good on paper, the reality can be quite different.

For instance, seat overlaps, especially across mixed and Kadazan Dusun Murut-majority constituencies, will be a contentious issue.

“(In these areas) STAR and KDM compete directly for the same voters,” Lee pointed out.

He also noted that the three parties have different political ambitions, while leadership tensions and competition for seats at the grassroots level could hinder coordination despite an agreement among their top leaders.

For Awang Azman, the risk lies in assuming that votes can automatically be transferred among the three parties.

He pointed out that the alliance would still need credible candidates. There must be early agreement on seat allocation and a common narrative centred on Sabah’s rights under MA63, the 40% revenue entitlement, better infrastructure and a bigger say in federal decision-making.

GRS could argue that it is the Sabah-based coalition in government and is thus in the best position to negotiate with Putrajaya.

On the other hand, Warisan-STAR-KDM could counter with the assertion that Sabah needs a stronger and more independent parliamentary bloc that is not constrained by relationships with federal parties.

“That message could resonate because the 2025 state polls themselves demonstrated the strength of Sabah-centric politics and dissatisfaction with traditional national-party arrangements,” Awang Azman said.

GRS best bet?

To improve its chances in a face-off with the Warisan-STAR-KDM alliance, GRS may have to make winning a priority rather than try to contest all seats.

Awang Azman said that while GRS should prepare itself to contest all 25 parliamentary seats, it should not shut the door to allies that may have a better hand in some marginal seats.

“In seats where GRS is strongest, it should field a candidate. But in constituencies where an ally has substantially stronger machinery, candidate recognition or an incumbent MP, negotiations may make more sense than starting another multi-cornered contest,” he added.

BN-Umno allowed TH’s approval to buy stake in Jho Low’s firm

This is what Perikatan Nasional (PN)’ and Umno’s politics are all about … they and their supporters seriously need a “medical prescription”

BN-Umno allowed TH’s approval to buy stake in Jho Low’s firm

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12, 2026: No wonder the racial and religious bigoted MPs from the Taliban-like Perikatan Nasional (PN) walked out of Parliament to avoid the special sitting to debate the Tabung Haji (TH) Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI).

The shit has started hitting the ceiling fan and PN is unable to defend their new “political lover” - Umno.

PAS is not interest to find out the truth and why Muslim pilgrims savings were lost by billions of Ringgit.

They only want political power to pursue their selfish political agenda, and Umno is its new “tool” for political chaos.

To defend Umno is to defend incompetents and financial mismanagement decisions.

Finance Minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan told Parliament yesterday that the entire approval process for Lembaga Tabung Haji’s (TH) purchase of a 30% stake in Putrajaya Perdana Bhd in 2014 took place when the company was said to be under the control of Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, through Utama Banking Group Bhd (UBG Bhd).

Can you imagine Umno allowing Muslim pilgrims’ savings to be plundered into a firm belonging to a non-Muslim? Very halal indeed!

So, PN walks away from its responsibility and accountability  demi rakyat dan negara (for people and country), in this case specifically the welfare and interests of Muslim pilgrims.

Gara2 ada Melayu Cibai dari BN menyakau duit TH sebanyak 10 Billion, duit cukai hasil titik peluh org kafir la yg digunakan utk bail out TH. Ingat kenyataan ini sampai mati org melayu!! -Facebook image

Joe Politics

Jho Low menerima RM193.5juta duit dari Tabung Haji pada 2018. Untung le. Dan si Taki anak sundal ni pernah backup si Najis dan Jo Lo. Kepada penyokong2 Pas dan Umbo sial, korang tengok dengan mata sendiri kalau tak caye cakap aku.

Puak barua kepanasan lari dari dewan, keluar ramai² bilamana fakta dibarai satu persatu.

Mereka tuduh PH jual aset ke cina. Rupanya terbukti Jho Low owner kompeni Putra tah apa yang Syed Sadiq dedah tu.

Ohhh.. sedap mengata kat PH ya.. kenapa lari? Lawan bantah lah dalam parliman barua!

To PN supporters, ada otak tak (got brains or not)?

Firm under Jho Low’s control when acquisition approval given to TH

Finance minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan says this was based on sworn testimony in the SRC International case.

KUALA LUMPUR: The entire approval process for Lembaga Tabung Haji’s (TH) purchase of a 30% stake in Putrajaya Perdana Bhd in 2014 took place when the company was said to be under the control of Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, through Utama Banking Group Bhd (UBG Bhd).

This was based on sworn testimony recorded in the SRC International case, said finance minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan in the Dewan Rakyat during the winding-up session of the special sitting to deliberate on the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on Lembaga Tabung Haji’s management and operations today.

“According to sworn testimony by Putrajaya Perdana director Datuk Rosman Abdullah, SRC International channelled RM170 million to Putrajaya Perdana’s subsidiary (Putra Perdana Construction) in three tranches between July and August 2014,” he said.

Amir said the testimony stated that as long as the sale of the company by UBG had not been completed, which only occurred on April 13, 2015, Putrajaya Perdana remained under Jho Low’s control through UBG.

“If we look closely at the chronology of the dates, the investment panel approved it on July 24, 2014; the board on Aug 25; the minister’s approval on Aug 27; and the sale and purchase agreement was signed on Dec 3, 2014.

“Every approval process and the agreement fell within the period stated in the testimony,” he said in response to issues raised by several MPs, including those from Muar, Putrajaya and Port Dickson, regarding Putrajaya Perdana’s links to Jho Low.

However, Amir stressed that the court had made no findings that Jho Low was the beneficial owner of Putrajaya Perdana at the time, and that the matter remained as sworn testimony on record.

He said that according to the fact-finding report from 2023, the TH investment panel requested on July 24, 2014, that the management identify the ultimate shareholder of the seller. However, the assessment did not include any record of a response from the management, and the transaction proceeded despite this lack of information.
