Yes! PMX Anwar’s the problem, not PH
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15, 2026: International socio-political website Finance Twitter has posted a stinging article telling Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim: “ So, spare the childish “if not Anwar, who else” threat.”
It is partly in line with our previous post (reproduced below) titled “PH is not the problem, Anwar’s the problem”.

PH’s Johor Loss Signals the Beginning of the End for Anwar
15 July, 2026
According to Finance Twitter , you know a government is increasingly authoritarian, corrupt, and arrogant when it starts cracking down on freedom of expression by censoring and blocking independent news portals, blogs, and social media platforms critical of the government. And you know such a dictatorship would lose power soon. It had happened to the Najib government, and it is about to happen to Anwar’s Madani.
In the Sabah state election (November 2025), Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim successfully led Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition – comprising PKR, DAP and Amanah – to a disastrous annihilation. However, the Premier and his loyal sidekick, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook, arrogantly downplay the wipe-out as an isolated case and believed the Chinese tsunami would not reach Peninsular Malaysia.
On Saturday (July 11, 2026), Mr Anwar and Mr Loke paid the price again. This time, the humiliating election defeat is in Johor. While not entirely wiped out like in the Borneo state, the mighty PH captured only 8 out of 56 seats (down from 12). Still in denial, the arrogant Loke said the Johor results won’t affect the coming Negeri Sembilan state polls on August 1.
Pakatan Harapan’s component Democratic Action Party (DAP), which was contesting 17 seats, won just six – down from 10 in 2022. Its ally Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) also lost one seat to rival Barisan Nasional (BN). The consolation – Anwar’s party PKR won Puteri Wangsa from Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA), who previously contested as a PH partner in 2022.
Losing 40% of the seats is a huge warning for both DAP and PH. Why? Because despite a higher voter turnout – 67.44% compared to 53.13% recorded in 2022 – the coalition had lost more seats when it should be the other way round. Silly Tony had hoped voter turnout in Johor would exceed 70% for PH to snatch the state from BN. But even with 67.44%, DAP had done worse.
BN has retained not only Johor after its state election, but also winning 48 out of the 56 contested seats – more than the 40 it did in 2022. Such a resounding victory could be used to pressure the weakling big talker Anwar to dissolve the Parliament for a snap national polls. Crucially, the result is a referendum for Johor caretaker Chief Minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi against PM Anwar.
As usual, PH has never failed in cooking excuses for its defeats. PH argued after the Sabah election last year that its annihilation was due to Sabah-specific issues and would not influence voter sentiment in the Peninsular. Now, PH election director Amirudin Shari attributed the defeat in Johor to a transfer of votes by opposition Perikatan Nasional (PN) supporters to BN candidates, which is not entirely true.
Either way, there’s one denominator in both Sabah and Johor elections – the Chinese votes are no longer “fixed deposit” of DAP, let alone PKR or Amanah. The ethnic Chinese voted en bloc against DAP in Sabah, causing the party to collapse completely in ethnic Chinese-majority seats. The same Chinese have now punished DAP in Johor, though not in full force, causing to the loss of 40% of its seats.
If the Chinese, who stood solidly behind DAP and contributed 95% of their votes for the party in the November 2022 general election, still trusted Loke leadership, DAP would not have lost Tangkak on Saturday. Tangkak was won by DAP’s Ee Chin Li in 2013, 2018 and 2022 elections, making it one of the party’s fortresses in Johor. This time, the seat swung back to BN’s component party MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association).
Likewise, in Johor Jaya, another DAP stronghold for three consecutive state elections since 2013, MCA’s Chan San San defeated DAP’s Lee Wern Yiing by 7,268 votes. It was a sweet revenge as Chan lost by 1,922 votes in the previous 2022 Johor state election. Crucially, the ethnic breakdown of Johor Jaya’s electorate is Chinese (46%), Malay (39%), and Indian (8%).
Another Chinese-majority seat under PH since 2013 that had also fallen is Jementah. This is a seat with 50.8% Chinese community, Malay (40.2%), and Indian (8.3%). Exactly how could DAP, supposedly the fierce defender of Chinese interests, lost Tangkak, Johor Jaya and Jementah – three Chinese-majority strongholds – to bitter enemy MCA demonized as Chinese eunuch and traitor subservient to UMNO?
It was already bad that PH-DAP lost Tangkak, Johor Jaya, and Jementah to MCA due to disgruntled and angry Chinese voters punishing them. It becomes worse when even Perling was lost to MIC (Malaysian Indian Congress), a dinosaur party often mocked and ridiculed as a pariah component party of BN which has long past its expiry date.
Yes, the writing is all over the wall about PH and DAP’s arrogance when even the Indian community decided to teach Loke and Anwar a lesson in Perling, a seat under PH’s control since the state constituency first contested in 2018. Ethnic breakdown of Perling’s electorate is Chinese (46%), Malay (38%), and Indian (13%). Even if all the Malay voters voted for BN, DAP would have won, but it didn’t.
Not even big guns like DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, mobilized during the PH campaign event in Perling, could appease the disgruntled Chinese and angry Indian communities. Clearly, the power-crazy PM Anwar and spineless Loke had done an excellent job poking Chinese and Indian voters till they became sufficiently frustrated with PH that they are now willing to back MCA and MIC.
It certainly didn’t help that pro-Anwar bloggers, propagandists, cyber troopers, YouTubers, and TikTokers – the same arrogant and clueless social media influencers who kept insisting the Sabah tsunami would not reach Johor – have similarly convinced PH blind supporters who can’t read the pulse on the ground that the “unique” Chinese and Indian Johoreans would not vote for MCA in a million years.
The excessive attacks on MCA, while deliberately and shamelessly ignoring Anwar and Loke’s cowardice, hypocrisy, double standards, flip-flopping, racism, arrogance, extremism, cronyism and incompetence, have backfired. Thanks to the “overkilled” attacks, MCA has secured eight seats in the Johor state assembly, surpassing DAP’s six-seat tally in a significant breakthrough.
The first thing MCA president Wee Ka Siong did was to gather all the eight newly elected assemblymen for an emergency meeting on July 12 midnight soon after the results were announced – telling them that they must remain humble. “Arrogance is absolutely not acceptable,” – said Wee. It doesn’t matter whether Wee and MCA are still being despised by the majority of the Chinese community.
What matters is Wee recognized that MCA must remain humble whilst Loke is in denial that DAP lost due to arrogance. Like it or not, what had happened in Sabah appears to have spread to Peninsular Malaysia. MCA’s eight seats in Johor compared with DAP’s six is a symbolic reversal in a state where DAP has steadily expanded its influence since 2008 under the stewardship of veteran leader Lim Kit Siang.
Despite PH top leadership’s denial that they have lost touch with the ground and become arrogant, leading to many fence sitters choosing not to return home to vote, or choosing to vote for BN as part of a protest vote, the facts don’t lie. PKR and DAP and their hardcore supporters can continue to be in denial. But it’s a fact that turnout averaged about 65.7% in BN-held seats, compared with only 60% in PH-held seats.
The lowest participation was concentrated largely in constituencies previously held by PH component party DAP – including Perling, Bentayan, Penggaram, Stulang and Skudai. In Penggaram and Bentayan, DAP had won with overwhelming majorities of 9,956 and 7,476 votes respectively in 2022. This round, the majorities dropped to 4,137 and 6,112 votes – two seats with 60.3% and 70.8% Chinese voters respectively.
From the beginning, PH had no clear strategy. Anwar Ibrahim and Anthony Loke were still dreaming about working with UMNO-led BN in the next 16th General Election. YouTubers dressed themselves in red as they joined “syok sendiri” (self-absorbed) large-scale ceramahs campaign, which attracted outstation “political tourists” to the tune of thousands rather than actual local voters.
To make the events looked impressive, “converted” hardcore supporters were transported to attend the ceramahs to listen to popular leaders and snap selfies, with “durian feast” and concert thrown in. They were more interested in delusional campaign than to counter the questions of “unfulfilled promises” along with scandals like corporate mafia and corruption, as well as bread and butter issues.
Selangor Chief Minister and PKR vice-president Amirudin lied through his teeth when he said Malays, Chinese, and Indians were equal citizens during his campaign in Johor. He thought the minorities were stupid and would trust him after his crackdown on temples and pig farming. Sending him to Johor was obviously a strategic and tactical mistake, but PH leaders were too big-headed and ignorant to realize it.
1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad) still has RM8.9 billion remaining debts, Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong complained on July 9, conveniently forgetting how his boss Anwar had facilitated a royal pardon for Najib Razak. In the same breath, Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming pledged to resign from his Cabinet post if crooked Najib is released from prison.
Fake reformist Anwar, unable to scream “Reformasi” as it has become “Reformati”, tried to hoodwink voters with anti-corruption slogan. The drama queen cried and claimed that political rivals are joining forces against him because his government’s strict anti-corruption policies have upset them. He thought voters had forgotten how he protected Azam Baki, the ex-MACC chief plagued with corruption and corporate mafia.
The forked-tongue Prime Minister also pretended like Gandhi or Buddha, calling all citizens to stop extreme racism and the politics of hatred, even though he was the champion in the field of racism and hatred politics. The Indian community, despite being a minority race, remembered what Anwar did last summer, and rewarded PH with a stunning defeat in Perling.
The Hindus remembered extremely well how Anwar – playing race and religion cards in desperation for Malay votes – had purposely and provocatively declared “Victory” after bulldozing the construction of “Madani Mosque” in Kuala Lumpur? To make way for the mosque, the 130-year-old Dewi Sri Pathrakaliamman temple was forced to be relocated some 50-metre away.
Heck, the Premier had even openly admitted his racism and discrimination when he mocked and ridiculed the Indian community – don’t be “angry or jealous” about programmes his Madani launched specifically for the Bumiputeras. Amusingly, despite the marginalization of Indians in favour of Malays, Anwar’s pathetic PKR lost all but one of the 20 seats it contested in Johor. The moron lost Indian votes and failed to win Malay votes at the same time.
When he was in the opposition wilderness for 24 years, he danced from tree to tree and sang like Shah Rukh Khan – “Indians and Ibans were marginalized, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”. But the moment he got power, he danced from country to country and sang – “Palestinians and Hamas were marginalized, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”. Yet, not a single Palestinian vote entered PKR candidates’ ballot box.
Anwar’s RM200 million for Hamas had caused more Indian votes to abandon PH than Malay votes could offset. The Indians had had enough of this snake oil salesman. It was also too little too late when the Madani scrambled at the eleventh hour trying to scam the Chinese business community with a promise to “review” the e-invoice system and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributions involving foreign workers.
PH top leadership like Anwar and Loke thought they could fool all the people all the time. But not all Chinese and Indians could be scammed.Even the Malays flocked to BN in droves. The scale of Malay votes’ migration to UMNO, MCA and MIC was so jaw-dropping that even Malay nationalist Bersatu and Islamist party PAS were effectively wiped out in Johor. But the biggest loser is DAP, not Bersatu or PAS.
Anwar’s biggest mistake in Johor was his bragging that he will remain as the Prime Minister regardless of whether PH wins or loses. Anthony Loke’s biggest mistake was taking Chinese voters for granted – believing that the Chinese have no other options but to blindly vote for DAP and Anwar. The fear-mongering that UMNO-PAS alliance would take over Johor is exactly like the previous’ threat – if the Chinese do not vote for MCA, the May 13 bloody racial riots would happen.
Playing an obsolete 1980s game in 2026 no longer works. Gen-Z and fence sitters refused to be held hostage by DAP spin doctors. They chose to either stay at home or vote for UMNO, MCA and MIC to show their middle finger to PH’s despicable threat. Beyond Anwar, there are 30 million Malaysians who can take over, including leaders from Sabah and Sarawak who do not treat Chinese and Indian as third-class citizens. So, spare the childish “if not Anwar, who else” threat.

PH is not the problem, Anwar’s the problem

Sadly, it is still the only coalition big enough to take on the racist politicians and their parties.
PH is not the problem, Anwar’s the problem
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15, 2026: Pakatan Harapan (PH) is not the problem for multi-racial Malaysians and Malaysia.
Anwar Ibrahim, a fake reformist (Reformasi) , is the problem.
Anwar’s pathetic leadership has emboldened racial and religious bigotry because of his inaction and politics of NATO (No Action Talk Only), thus threatening national unity and harmony.
Today, the racial and religious bigoted political parties like the Taliban-like PAS, the pencuri-pencuri (thieves) Umno and Perikatan Nasional (PN)-Bersatu led by the unpatriotic Muhyiddin “I Am Malay First” Yassin are fast rising to “rule” Malaysia.
The only coalition (comprising PKR, DAP and Amanah) big enough to take on the racists is, sadly, still PH but the problem, Anwar, must be removed and that is only possible via the ballots in the next general election (GE16).
With the natural "blue wave" in Johor, yet PH could win eight seats. All the rest, including PAS and PN-Bersatu, were wiped out of the state assembly.
Wherever Anwar stands in GE16, he must be given the boot to save PH, Malaysians and Malaysia.

CRITICISM | I Really Cannot "Brain" Anwar
DAP Melaka exited the state government today because it could no longer work together with the Umno-led Melaka government.
In response to its exit, the Melaka Chief Minister announced that he is not going to stop DAP from leaving.
Melaka Exco Akmal Saleh went one step further—he announced that he is so happy to see DAP leave that he felt as if his prayers had been answered.
In response to all these developments, do you know what Anwar did?
Anwar has publicly asked DAP Melaka to reconsider its move and rejoin the state goverment.
Go figure.
DAP Melaka just stepped out today as a matter of principle, and to counter its message, Umno Melaka has quickly come out to say that it either doesn't mind DAP leaving or is happy to see DAP leave. Yet, in response to all these developments, what Anwar is publicly proposing is that DAP Melaka swallow its pride and rejoin the state government.
Can somebody explain how all of this is supposed to work?
As for the reason why Anwar wants DAP Melaka to return to the state government, he says that it is "for the sake of the people."
The Melaka government ,by the way, is still intact and fully functioning despite DAP Melaka's exit.
So how exactly is this something that affects the people, when all that happened is that DAP Melaka has turned from being a part of the goverment to the a part of the opposition ? Only heaven and Anwar know, because no one else does.
As far as the rest of us are concerned, DAP exiting the state government in Melaka is likely something that only affects Umno and DAP's relationship.
The Melaka feud is yet another episode in the unravelling of DAP's and Umno's relationship, and Anwar is likely facing great pressure to dissolve Parliament and call a snap election on account of their inabilty to work together.
To relieve himself of that pressure, Anwar needs DAP Melaka and Umno Melaka to reconcile.
But instead of saying that, he says that he just wants them to reconcile "for the sake of the people," as if his private political problems are the same as the people's problem.
And how does Anwar foresee this reconciliation happening?
Well, Anwar thinks that DAP Melaka should just quietly rejoin the state government and let him, Anthony Loke, and the Melaka Chief Minister sort out their differences for them.
Imagine saying to a bunch of grown adults that they should just swallow their pride and get along with each other after they have decided to go their separate ways because you will somehow sort out their problems for them. Imagine how condescending you must be to even contemplate saying that out loud.
And can Anwar even sort out their problems?
It is highly doubtful he will be able to do so.
It is highly doubtful, because the problems that DAP Melaka and Umno Melaka have are the sort of problems that can only be resolved before they arise.
If Anwar were someone who could be expected to sort out their problems, he would have solved them before they arose.
Umno and DAP's problems also didn't arise out of the blue. It has been brewing for months and years, before it blew up in Negeri Sembilan, Johor and now Melaka.
If Anwar did not see the problems developing over those many years, or did nothing to resolve them before they reached this point, he can't seriously believe that he can solve them now, now that they have passed the point of being resolved.
The fact that he doesn't seem to realise that the problems have passed the point of being resolved is another problem. Does he not know how things work, or has he grown so old that his mind is no longer operating at its optimum?
Listening to Anwar say things like this makes me really wonder why so many people think he is as good as it gets in our country. Why do so many people seem to believe that if not Anwar, there is no one else who can be counted on to lead the country?
Look at the way that Anwar handles anything.
The problem with Anwar is that Anwar often thinks that all problems will just resolve themselves if he just ignores it and gives it time. From the FAM heritage player scandal, racial problem, the problem with Sabah and Sarawak, MACC Corporate mafia scandal, Anwar sweeps everything under the carpet with the hope that if he can't see the problem, it will be as if there is no problem at all.
If this is how Anwar handles things, resolves problems, and processes what is happening around him, is it any wonder that everthing from race relations, regional relations, relationship between the component parties of the unity goverment, relationship between the parties in PH, relationship between the leaders in PKR itself, state-governments, royal institution, and national institutions like MACC and FAM, are all falling apart under his watch?
We must seriously start measuring a person by their current performance, not by their past reputation.
Anwar might have been a top-notch leader in the past, but judging by his current performance, those days might be long gone.
Today, as a leader, Anwar is not only no longer exceptional—he might not even meet the minimum standard.
Maybe it's time to call for a snap election because, if Anwar is not willing to hang up his boots, we might need to vote him out and put him out to pasture.
