Stubborn Anwar leading PKR to its political grave

KUALA LUMPUR, May 6, 2026: Former PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli had warned president Anwar Ibrahim to be wary of the “maggots” surrounding him.

Anwar stubbornly refused to listen and PKR is now crumbling.

Anwar even engineered his daughter, Nurul Izzah, to oust Rafizi and his Reformasi (Reformation) team in the party’s last elections.

Anwar succeeded but the majority of Malaysians who wanted change for the better are now believed to berout for Anwar the fake reformist.

Anwar had opted for politics of patronage ala Umno-style instead of Reformasi. 

 Anwar ousted this team and opted for politics of patronage ala Umno style!

Come the next general election (GE16), what is expected to be PKR’s fate?

Rafizi Has Warned You So Many Times – Why Still Stubborn?

Dear Anwar,

When will you start listening to Rafizi? When you listen to him, you remain safe and positioned to win. But whenever you turn a deaf ear, you invite danger and inevitably lose.

Long ago, when Rafizi wrote a reminder letter urging you to be wary of the people around you—specifically mentioning Farhash.

You didn't listen.

Farhash then brought in Yusoff Rawther, and what happened?

Your administration became tainted with rumors involving Farhash, and Yusoff Rawther accused you of sexual assault.

This isn't about whether such events occurred, or who was right or wrong—it's about why you didn't heed the warning in the first place.

If you had, these issues would never have arisen.

Post-GE14, Rafizi took a break from politics and advised you not to align closely with Mahathir.

Did you listen? No. What followed?

PH lost all the by-elections and the state elections in Malacca and Johor. Worse still, the Sheraton Move checkmated your path to becoming Prime Minister.

You all begged Rafizi to return and rescue PKR. He offered advice, you listened, and he delivered a PH victory.

After you became PM, Rafizi repeatedly reminded you about your former political secretary. Did you listen? No.

Now, one allegation after another has surfaced, turning into a major liability for you.

He reminded you multiple times about Shamsul Iskandar.

Did you listen? No. But today, what happened when Albert Tei's video surfaced? Shamsul Iskandar is now embroiled in controversy.

Rafizi reminded you about the need for education reform and the incompetency of our Education Minister ( Fadhilina Sidek ).

Today, what do we see? Criminal cases piling up, report after report, and global surveys showing Malaysia's education system worsening.

Before the latest PKR election, during the party meeting, Rafizi conveyed that we shouldn't rock the boat by holding the election. Everyone agreed, but at the last minute, you U-turned.

What happened? PKR shattered into pieces post-election.

About Azam Baki, Rafizi reminded you many times.

Did you listen? Now, with Albert Tei's latest video, there's a clear conflict of interest implicating Azam Baki.

Regarding Ahmad Terrirudin's appointment, Rafizi reminded you repeatedly. Even your daughter joined the Bar Council to protest against it.

Did you listen? No. What happened?

The Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, voiced his concerns over Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh's appointment to the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC), emphasizing the need for its independence.

When Rafizi questioned the Perjanjian ART with the United States, did you all listen?

No. What happened?

China issued a statement and warning about the agreement.

Rafizi repeatedly warned that Chinese and Indian voters were boycotting PH.

Did you listen? No.

What do the latest statistics from the Sabah election, presented by Ong Kian Ming, show? Chinese support dropped from 78% to 27%—a massive swing of 51%.

When Rafizi presented earlier data showing your ratings had dropped, did you listen?

No. Instead, you used your Team Damai to deploy AI bots, flooding social media with comments like "PMX terbaik," "Love PMX," and other bootlicking praise.

What happened?

An almost total wipeout in the latest Sabah election.

During the PKR internal election, Rafizi hinted that Nurul Izzah was incapable of being the election director.

Did you all listen? No.

People like Ramanan, Fuziah, Amiruddin Shaari, and Shamsul Iskandar all claimed she could be the best election director in the world.

What happened?

Under her leadership during negotiations, we drove away UPKO from PH. While campaigning, there was almost no momentum, forcing you to rush in at the last minute to take over and lead the operation.

Anwar, when will you start listening to Rafizi and stop heeding the bootlickers around you?

All your liabilities, troubles, problems, challenges, scandals, rumors, and allegations stem from issues that Rafizi pre-warned you about—not once, not twice, but multiple times.

And time and again, he's proven right.

Last year, when Rafizi was still PKR's Deputy President—despite there being another three years before the general election—he repeatedly urged PKR to start moving: campaigning, running more local programs, and setting up mobile service centers in each constituency.

Did anybody listen? No.

Now, with only two years left, everyone is still asleep.

When the former Malacca Chief Minister (the ex-frog) wanted to join PKR, Rafizi opposed it.

Did anybody listen? No.

In the end, PKR suffered a massive loss in the Malacca by-election.

When announcing PKR's Sabah candidates, Rafizi warned about sticking to "Reformasi" and not "Reformanan" or "Reformusa."

Did anybody listen? No. The result?

Another shocking defeat.

Yet, when Rafizi works tirelessly to rescue you, Madani, PKR, and PH, nobody appreciates him.

Instead, government machinery is used to attack and slander him, one after another—even targeting his son and wife with injections and threats.

For all he's done, is this the thanks he gets?

Without Rafizi, PKR Crumbled – Anwar Now Dragging PH Straight to the Grave

The moment he left active politics, PKR started bleeding.

By-election after by-election – Malacca, Johor, and more – turned into massacres.

Pakatan supporters watched in horror as their party was humiliated again and again. Morale collapsed. Hope evaporated.

Fighters became spectators. No direction, no strategy, no fire left in the belly.

They begged Rafizi to return.

He came back – not for position, but for Malaysia.

With INVOKE’s razor-sharp data, he launched Ayuh Malaysia. He travelled the country non-stop. He built wave after wave. He crafted perfect strategic narratives. He rebuilt morale from the ashes.

He promised 80 seats in GE15.

Everyone laughed. “Too ambitious,” they said.

He delivered 82.

He told Anwar Ibrahim to contest Tambun – a seat analysts called political suicide. They said Rafizi wanted to bury Anwar. Anwar trusted him anyway.

Anwar won big. From the ruins of opposition, they marched into Putrajaya.

Rafizi became the man behind the throne: the strategist, the war general, the commander-in-chief of elections, the wave-maker, the mobiliser, the voice that moved millions.

He delivered. Quietly. Relentlessly. Effectively.

Then he started pushing – politely, professionally – for real reform.

And that’s when they decided he had to go.

They kicked Rafizi out for five fatal reasons:

1.He wanted reform fast. They wanted business as usual.

2.He is a man of principle who tolerates zero nonsense and zero corruption. They wanted to cari makan – shares, appointments, contracts, projects, slush funds, and surat sokongan.

3.He became too influential, too competent, too popular. The higher powers felt threatened – just like ancient emperors who murdered the loyal generals who put them on the throne.

4.He wanted to honour the manifesto he himself drafted in 2018. They wanted to U-turn on every single promise the moment they smelled power and profit.

5. He wanted to protect and strengthen PH’s core base – the M40, progressive Malays, the Indians , Anak Sabah, Anak Sarawak, and the Chinese community. They wanted to chase the walaun vote – the PAS fanatic base – even if it meant abandoning everyone who actually voted PH into power.

And the final sin? Rafizi refused to play “Cash is King”. No projects for cronies. No envelopes. No dana under the table.

Then he started advising the Prime Minister – politely, professionally – on one issue after another.

Anwar smiled in front, but did the opposite behind.

Trust eroded. Advice was ignored. Warnings were dismissed.

It culminated in the ultimate betrayal: Anwar gave his blessings for his own daughter, Nurul Izzah, to lead a coup in the PKR party election to dethrone Rafizi and his entire reform team.

The message was clear: blood is thicker than competence.

Meanwhile, his opponents in PKR – the so-called “Team Damai” – mocked him during the party election:

“We don’t need Rafizi.” “We don’t need INVOKE.” “We don’t need big data or think tanks.” “PKR can survive another 100 years!” “We’ll win more than 80 seats from our current 31 – easy!” “Our data is better. J-KOM is enough for strategic communication.”

Six months later – just six months without Rafizi – Pakatan Harapan contested 20 seats in the Sabah state election.

They won one. And even that one came via a defector, not their own strength.

Total annihilation. Total humiliation. A historic extinction-level event.

When Rafizi was Deputy President and PKR Election Director, Anwar Ibrahim never once had to campaign in more than 13 by-elections after GE15. The machinery ran like clockwork.

In Sabah, they had two PKR election directors (Nurult Izzah and Saifuddin Nasution), plus Anwar himself flying in last-minute to “save” the campaign.

Result? 1 out of 20.

One Rafizi was worth more than Anwar + Nurul Izzah + Saifuddin Nasution + Amiruddin Shaari combined.

All the scandals now exploding – Farhash, Shamsul Iskandar, Fadhlina’s incompetence as Education Minister – Rafizi had warned Anwar about them privately, again and again.

Anwar didn’t listen.

Six months ago, INVOKE data showed PH had already lost 32% of Chinese support and 38% of Indian support.

They laughed. Called it fake. Said Rafizi was exaggerating.

Sabah’s Chinese majority seats? Wiped out. Exactly as predicted.

When PKR announced its candidates, Rafizi reminded them: this is about Reformasi, not Reformanan or Reformusa.

They called him “kuat merajuk”. Too sensitive.

So they chopped him.

Now Shamsul Iskandar – the man who called Rafizi “pemimpin sialan” – has become the real curse that buried PH in Sabah.

Every time Rafizi tried to help, the DAMAI cybertroopers, paid professors, and loyalist writers were sent to slander him. They even dared him to leave and form his own party.

He left.

And now the dominoes fall: Sabah today, Sarawak tomorrow, Peninsular Malaysia the day after.

This time, Rafizi is not coming back.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Anwar can promote his daughter all he wants. He can dream of a family dynasty.

But what is the point of ruling over a kingdom of ashes?

Without Rafizi Ramli and his big data, PKR is lost. Pakatan Harapan is bleeding.

And Malaysia’s last great hope for reform has been betrayed by the very man he carried to Putrajaya.

RM1.1b deal: Zafrul’s MIDA inks deal, Anwar launches deal but only Rafizi being hounded by MACC?

KUALA LUMPUR, May 6, 2026: The Coverage has posted a damning news report titled RM1.1 Billion Deal Signed by Zafrul, Launched by Anwar — Only Rafizi Faces MACC.

If the report is accurate, then Malaysians must stop such “abuse of power and selective political persecution”.

That means, Malaysians must vote for former PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli and his team in the next general election (GE16) and send Anwar Ibrahim and Tengku Zafrul Aziz to prison, if they are guilty.

The Coverage Media

RM1.1 Billion Deal Signed by Zafrul, Launched by Anwar — Only Rafizi Faces MACC

Anwar Ibrahim, the hypocrisy and selective persecution under your watch have reached disgusting new lows.

You personally chaired the Cabinet meetings — not once, but three times — where this ARM Holdings deal was discussed and advanced.

You personally met with the CEO of the company involved.

The proposal was vetted by the Attorney General’s Chambers and received full Cabinet approval.

The agreement was signed by MIDA under your minister Zafrul, and you yourself proudly launched it.

Yet today, only Rafizi Ramli is being dragged through a MACC investigation while you and Zafrul walk away untouched.

What kind of twisted “rule of law” is this?

What justice remains in Malaysia when the man who led the meetings, the minister who signed the deal, and the Prime Minister who launched it with fanfare are spared, but the one person who didn’t even issue letters of support becomes the sole target?

There is zero evidence against Rafizi: no suspicious payments into his accounts, no kickbacks, no commissions, no WhatsApp trails, no emails, no recordings, no appointments of his family to juicy board positions, and no secret “safe houses.”

He did not approve budgets, allocations, or contracts.

The so-called RM1.1 billion figure is not a lump sum paid yesterday — it is a commitment spread over 10 years.

The deal was only signed last year, meaning roughly RM110 million has even been touched so far.

If your Madani government is so ashamed of this deal, then cancel it immediately.

Stop bragging about “ARM Holdings success” in public while weaponising MACC against your own colleague in private.

This is not a corruption investigation.

This is political intimidation dressed up as enforcement.

The core complaint seems to be that the deal was “rushed” — yet it went through multiple Cabinet discussions under your direct leadership.

If the process was flawed, then you, Zafrul, and the entire Cabinet that approved it bear far greater responsibility than Rafizi.

The Malaysian people are not blind.

This selective prosecution exposes exactly what your administration has become: a regime that protects its inner circle while sacrificing others for political theatre.

You lecture the world about reform and institutional integrity, yet you preside over the most blatant double standards we have seen in years.

If there is real corruption, investigate everyone — starting with the man who chaired the meetings and the minister who signed the papers.

If there is none, then stop destroying reputations and unity in your own government just to settle scores or create scapegoats.

Malaysia deserves better than this cynical, selective “justice.”

The people see through it.

History will record it.

GE16 - PKR’s Reformati (Dead Reformation) cum political grave

GE16 - PKR’s Reformati (Dead Reformation) cum political grave

KUALA LUMPUR, May 5, 2026: The Coverage has posted a damning article that predicts PKR president Anwar Ibrahim is leading his party to extinction in the next general election (GE16).

The report claims PKR’s own data exposes total collapse for PKR.

This only means Anwar needs to make way for a credible leader to save PKR in GE16 - and that cannot be his daughter, deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar.

PKR’s Own Data Exposes Total Collapse: Anwar is Leading the Party to Extinction

5 May, 2026

 

PKR’s internal analysis for PRU16 is not just bad — it is catastrophic. After years of smug arrogance from Anwar’s faction, their own data now admits the brutal truth: only 7 out of 66 seats are considered genuinely safe (Tier 1). Another 13 are barely hanging on (Tier 2A). The rest are marginal or already written off as “difficult.”

This is the party that once dreamed of becoming Malaysia’s natural ruling force. Today, it is a hollowed-out shell.

PKR’s internal PRU16 analysis is devastating. Only 7 safe Tier 1 seats out of 66. The rest are marginal or already classified as “difficult.” Even worse, the few remaining strongholds are largely controlled by the Rafizi Ramli camp — the very faction Anwar’s people tried to bury during the party elections.

 

Even worse, the few remaining lifeboats are not under Anwar’s control. Of the 7 Tier 1 safe seats, at least 4 belong to the Rafizi Ramli-aligned camp: Pandan (Rafizi), Subang (Wong Chen), Petaling Jaya (Lee Chean Chung), and Ampang (Rodziah). In Tier 2A, another 7 key seats are also dominated by the reformist faction. That means 11 out of the 20 most winnable seats are in the hands of the very group Anwar’s loyalists tried to politically castrate during the party elections.

Remember Ramanan’s arrogant boast that removing Rafizi would deliver 80 seats? Or Amiruddin Shari’s ridiculous claim that PKR could survive “another 100 years” without Rafizi? Those promises now look like delusional trash talk from people completely disconnected from reality.

The ultimate humiliation? Anwar’s own Tambun seat, Amiruddin Shari’s Gombak, and Ramanan’s Sungai Buloh have all fallen into the “red zone” — marginal territory where defeat is now a real possibility. Think about that: the Prime Minister, Selangor Chief Minister, and a federal minister cannot even protect their own backyard.

Strategic Suicide: Betraying Your Own Base to Chase the Unappeasable

After gaining power, Anwar systematically redirected his government’s actions, budgets, announcements, and policies toward courting ultra-conservative “walaun” constituencies — the very seats PKR has zero realistic chance of winning.

He took from PKR’s core supporters — the urban, progressive, M40, moderate Malays, Chinese, Indians, SMEs, and entrepreneurs — and funnelled resources, attention, and concessions to groups that have always viewed PKR with suspicion and contempt.

No matter how much you rob Peter (your loyal base) to pay Paul (the conservative bloc), they will never be grateful.

This group operates with a toxic combination of high entitlement, perpetual dissatisfaction, greed, anger, hate, and a hardened victim mentality. There is literally no way to please them. Give them an inch, they demand a mile. Placate their demands, they brand you as weak and ask for more. This is a demographic that rewards only maximalist identity politics — something PKR was never built for and will never master.

The result is pure political malpractice: Yang dikejar tak dapat, yang dikendong berciciran. Anwar has lost the heartland that brought him to power while gaining nothing from the constituencies he desperately chased.

Anwar Has Learned Nothing From Past Defeats

This is perhaps the most unforgivable part. Anwar Ibrahim continues to repeat the same fatal mistakes that destroyed his previous attempts at power. Despite decades of political experience and multiple bitter defeats, he still pursues the delusional dream of becoming “Malay enough” or “Islamic enough” for the hardline base.

History has taught the same lesson repeatedly: this strategy fails every single time. Yet Anwar refuses to learn.

The Nightmare Scenario: PKR Reduced to Absolute Zero

And here comes the worst-case scenario that should terrify every PKR leader:

What if Rafizi Ramli’s “Team Real Reform” doesn’t just hold their current strong seats — but also sweeps the final remaining 10 safe seats?

PKR would be left with literally nothing.

Because the moderate, progressive, neutral, urban, M40, intellectual Malay, Chinese, Indian, SME, and entrepreneur voters — the very lifeblood of PKR — are furious and feel deeply betrayed by Anwar Ibrahim.

They see a Prime Minister who abandoned Reformasi principles, broke promises, and sold out the coalition’s progressive soul for short-term conservative pandering. Previous surveys (INVOKE and others) already showed PH haemorrhaging 32% of Chinese and 38% of Indian support. That erosion has almost certainly deepened.

How do you campaign in Petaling Jaya, Subang, or Ampang by proudly listing how many billions were given to conservative causes or how much taxpayer money was donated overseas? Urban voters are not stupid. They see exactly where their taxes went — and where their hopes went to die.

The Beginning of the End?

PKR under Anwar has rotted from the inside. It has forgotten its roots, its struggle, its principles, and the people who actually delivered it to power. The internal data confirms what many have suspected: the party is staring into the abyss.

GE16 risks becoming the funeral of PKR as a serious political force.

Anwar’s stubborn refusal to learn from history, combined with his betrayal of the progressive base, has created the perfect storm for total collapse.

The numbers don’t lie. PKR’s own report just signed the party’s death warrant.
