Who are the pencuri-pencuri Tabung Haji?

KUALA LUMPUR, July 24,2026: The Madani Unity Government (UG) is expected to make public the final report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH).

Perhaps, when/if the RCI report is made public, Malaysians, especially Muslims who contribute to TH, will know who were the pencuri-pencuri (thieves) who stole multiple billions of Ringgit from the pilgrimage fund.

One thing is certain, and that is those responsible were not aligned to Pakatan Harapan (PH) (View the above video link for details as exposed by staunch reformist Rafizi Ramli).

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today said the RCI report on TH was not released three years ago because the government wanted to avoid undermining public confidence in the pilgrims’ fund board.

Meanwhile images on the TH financial scandal have appeared on Facebook:

DUIT BAKAL HAJI DITARAH, SIAPA SEBENARNYA YANG PEGANG KUNCI?

Pernah dengar petua lama? “Kalau nak tahu siapa dalang di sebalik sesebuah krisis, tengok siapa yang pegang kunci almari”.

Bila bercakap pasal isu pengurusan Tabung Haji (TH) bagi tempoh 2014 hingga 2018 — isu yang akhirnya memaksa penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan DiRaja (RCI) — ramai yang cuba mengalihkan perhatian dengan naratif yang berselindung di sebalik pelbagai alasan politik. Namun, bila kita buka balik fail sejarah dan tengok senarai watak utama, satu kenyataan fakta yang tidak boleh dipadamkan: kesemua mereka datang dari satu 'rumah' yang sama — UMNO.

Mari kita petakkan gambarannya satu per satu dengan logik akal budi :
O1. WATAK UTAMA & KERUSI EMPUK
— Pengerusi Tabung Haji : Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim (UMNO).

— Menteri Hal Ehwal Islam : Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom (UMNO)

— Timbalan Menteri : Datuk Seri Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki (UMNO)

— Perdana Menteri & Menteri Kewangan : Datuk Seri Najib Razak (UMNO)

Tiada 'penumpang' dari parti lain. Tiada campur tangan luar. Daripada peringkat tertinggi pentadbiran negara, kementerian yang menjaga sucinya agama, sehinggalah ke kerusi empuk pengurusan institusi tabungan umat Islam—semuanya dimonopoli oleh UMNO.

02. BILA KUASA MUTLAK MENJADI BEBAN
Retorik yang sering dilaungkan suatu ketika dahulu adalah kononnya mereka inilah "benteng pertahanan umat". Tetapi apabila RCI ditubuhkan untuk menyiasat ketimpangan dan kebocoran dalam institusi yang menyimpan wang peluh serta air mata rakyat yang mahu menunaikan rukun Islam kelima, dinding benteng itu runtuh sendiri.

Bagaimana sebuah parti yang mendakwa jaguh institusi Melayu-Islam boleh membiarkan sebuah institusi gergasi seperti Tabung Haji diuruskan sehingga menimbulkan persoalan sebesar itu?
— Siapa yang menyemak? UMNO.
— Siapa yang meluluskan? UMNO.
— Siapa yang bertanggungjawab? Talian yang sama.

03. PROPAGANDIS vs HAKIKAT LOGIK
Propaganda politik yang matang tidak perlu rekaan cerita. Cukup sekadar meletakkan fakta bersebelahan :

“Apabila kejayaan diklaim sebagai jasa parti, tetapi bila timbul masalah dan krisis, mereka pura-pura lupa siapa yang duduk di atas kerusi pembuat keputusan”.

Rakyat hari ini bukan lagi golongan yang mudah dikacau emosinya dengan slogan retorik. Bila duit simpanan mak cik dan pak cik di kampung untuk ke Tanah Suci terpalit dengan kontroversi, soalan layman paling pintar yang patut ditanya ialah: Di mana akauntabiliti mereka yang memegang amanah ketika itu?

RINGKASAN TUNTAS
RCI 2014–2018 bukan sekadar medan siasatan teknikal; ia adalah cermin sejarah. Cermin yang menunjukkan secara jelas bahawa krisis Tabung Haji pada era tersebut bukanlah disebabkan kegagalan 'orang luar', melainkan hasil pengurusan kendalian sepenuhnya oleh satu parti politik.

Pengajarannya mudah : Amanah agama tidak boleh dijadikan batu loncatan politik. Sekian untuk difikirkan bersama.

TH RCI report to restore public confidence through greater transparency

PKR Youth chief says the upcoming release of the Royal Commission of Inquiry report into Lembaga Tabung Haji should provide clarity over past controversies surrounding the institution

Updated 1 hour ago · Published on 24 Jul 2026 12:34PM

The release is to pave the way for stronger transparency, integrity and public confidence, Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim says - July 24, 2026

THE final report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), which the government is expected to release soon, should bring closure to the institution’s past controversies and mark the beginning of a more transparent and accountable future, said PKR Youth chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim.

Kamil, in a Facebook post today, said the report should become a turning point for TH to strengthen its governance, uphold integrity and remain focused on protecting the interests of Muslim depositors.

He said the trust placed in the pilgrimage fund must be preserved and restored, describing it as a responsibility owed to both current and future generations.

"That is why the Madani Government has chosen the difficult path of revealing the truth. Some parties would prefer for this matter to remain buried. Some hope that the people will forget this dark chapter.

"But we must have the courage to acknowledge that mistakes and misconduct have occurred. Therefore, our responsibility now is to ensure that those responsible are held accountable," he said.

The government had earlier indicated that it was prepared to release the final RCI report on TH to allow the public to understand the findings of investigations into allegations involving the management and disposal of the institution’s strategic assets.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he would review the decision on publishing the report together with Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar.

Kamil said the release of the report would be a significant moment for the country, adding that Malaysians had the right to understand the findings of an inquiry into an institution entrusted by millions of Muslims.

He said the investigation was important given the concerns raised over the management of TH and the need to preserve confidence in an institution responsible for helping Muslims fulfil the Hajj pilgrimage.

He added that every ringgit deposited into TH accounts represented the hard-earned savings of ordinary Malaysians, including rubber tappers, farmers, taxi drivers, small traders and communities in rural and FELDA areas.

"Their only great dream is to become guests of Allah SWT," he said. "However, when such a great trust is treated carelessly, what is affected is not merely the image of the institution.

"It is also the hope of millions of Muslims who have saved patiently and diligently for years to fulfil the fifth pillar of Islam," he added.

Kamil, who is also political secretary to the Finance Minister, said the publication of the RCI findings should help rebuild confidence among TH depositors and ensure the institution moves forward with stronger governance, accountability and public trust. - July 24, 2026

Tabung Haji RCI report withheld to prevent panic among depositors — Anwar

PORT DICKSON (July 24): The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) was not released three years ago because the government wanted to avoid undermining public confidence in the pilgrims’ fund board, according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said publishing the report at the time could have triggered panic among depositors, leading to a mass withdrawal of funds that might have destabilised TH.

“Three years ago, we were not in a position to publish the report. Had we done so, the public could have lost confidence in Tabung Haji and withdrawn their savings.

“However, over the past three years, TH has come under new management led by chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Hussain, who has an excellent track record. TH is now back on a strong footing, but the public still deserves to know the truth,” he said during the Semarak Kenegaraan programme at the Army Basic Training Centre (Pusasda) here Friday.

Also present were Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari, Chief of Defence Forces General Tan Sri Malek Razak Sulaiman and Army chief General Tan Sri Azhan Md Othman.

Anwar said the Madani government’s firm stance against abuse of power and its emphasis on good governance were aimed at safeguarding institutions entrusted with the interests of the people, particularly Muslims and the Felda community.

In his speech, the prime minister also highlighted TH’s recovery, noting that the institution had recently been recognised with the Best Haj Management award for this year's haj season.

Meanwhile, Amanah secretary general Muhammad Faiz Fadzil, DAP national vice-chairman Syahredzan Johan and PKR deputy secretary general Saifuddin Shafi Muhammad, in a joint statement, said that the Cabinet should deliberate and decide whether the RCI report should be made public.

“Pakatan Harapan believes disclosure was necessary in the public interest and in line with the principles of transparency and accountability.

“The public has the right to know the facts so that all outstanding questions can be answered comprehensively based on the official report,” they said.

On Thursday, Anwar said the government was prepared to release the final RCI report on TH soon to allow the public to learn the findings of the inquiry into allegations involving the sale of TH’s strategic assets.

The prime minister said he would consult the chief secretary to the government on whether the report needed to be referred to the Cabinet first.

Umno now also pencuri-pencuri of the Federal Constitution and rakyat’s rights

Umno now also pencuri-pencuri of the Federal Constitution and rakyat’s rights

KUALA LUMPUR, July 24, 2026: Noticed why only when states are governed by the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) are constitutions amended to appoint unelected assemblymen?

To the deceiving racial and religious Umno pencuri-pencuri (thieves), if you cannot win them, just appoint to reward their cronies!

Not pencuri-pencuri? Then what are these images below about?:

 

The disgraced and shameless Najib "1MDB" Razak jailed pencuri is Umno’s political icon and “hero”!!!

Umno is today not only the pencuri-pencuri of the rakyat dan negara (people and country)’s wealth, they have advanced further, to using their two-thirds majority in state assemblies to amend state constitutions to undermine the constitutional rights and power of the rakyat by appointing unelected assemblymen.

Here’s an image for Malaysians to study its contents on what Umno has achieved since Merdeka (Independence) 1957:

No News Is Bad News reproduces below a commentary by a former New Straits Times journalist on the appointment of unelected assemblymen and our previous posts:

Nominated assemblymen rob voters of democratic power

A. Kathirasen

History teaches that provisions – such as those introduced in Johor and Melaka to allow for nominated assemblymen - almost always degenerate into a system of political patronage and quietly shift power from the electorate to the executive.

A striking pattern I have observed in Malaysians is that they react strongly to the mistreatment of cats or dogs, and protest loudly over even minor issues tied to religion or race, yet often overlook deeper structural issues that shape their future and that of their descendants.

The latest such matter is the move by the governments of Melaka and Johor to change the state constitutions to allow nominated representatives to sit in the state legislative assembly.

Most Malaysians would have been unaware of the changes to the Melaka constitution if not for DAP assemblymen resigning from the state executive council in protest.

Their action also threw the spotlight on the earlier move by the Johor government to introduce nominated assemblymen.

The moves elicited protest or caution statements from a few legal minds and rights groups but there was no public outcry.

The larger public either does not understand the ramifications or is not bothered. I don’t know if this is a failure of voters or the success of a political strategy refined over decades.

The politicians in Johor and Melaka tell us, with practiced earnestness, that amending state constitutions to allow handpicked representatives is all about bringing in “technocratic talent,” giving a voice to underrepresented minorities, and raising the level of debate.

It is a lovely narrative. But for anyone who has watched Malaysian politics long enough, the alarm bells should be ringing loud and clear.

Before I delve into that, let’s be clear that Johor and Melaka have not set a precedent; they are merely following what several other states have already done.

In 1963, when Sabah entered Malaysia, its own constitution already carried up to six nominated members appointed by the Yang di-Pertua Negeri. In 2003, Terengganu allowed up to four persons to be nominated assemblymen but they must be non-Muslim or female members.

In 2020, Pahang amended its constitution to add up to five nominated members. On May 7 this year, Johor added five more assembly seats to bring the total to 61. On July 14, Melaka added up to seven nominated members to its state assembly. It currently has 28.

Melaka Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh said the amendment allowed the appointment of individuals with expertise and experience in fields such as law, economics, education, and technology to contribute directly to policymaking and legislative debates.

“The appointments can enhance the participation of women, youth, the Orang Asli, minority communities, professionals and industry representatives who may not succeed through the electoral process but can contribute meaningfully to the state’s development,” he added.

The main argument championed by Ab Rauf, Johor Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi and other proponents is that elections do not always yield experts in economics, technology, or constitutional law. Therefore, the government must step in to appoint them for the greater good of the state.

Opponents to the move say that if a government genuinely needed technical expertise, it could hire consultants or form advisory panels. You do not need to give unelected “experts” a seat and a vote in the august hall of the state legislature to get good advice.

Even if one agrees that the move to bring technical competence and minority representation into state legislatures is commendable, it is clear that doing so without strict constitutional safeguards risks weakening democratic accountability.

Proponents’ argument suggests that popular elections—those chaotic moments where the ordinary citizen briefly holds a fragment of power—cannot be trusted to produce “experts”.

It also suggests that the voter is a messy, flawed instrument, and that the executive knows best what is good for both the state and the voter.

Melaka opposition leader Dr Mohd Yadzil Yaakub, in supporting the bill, said individuals with expertise and experience could play a role in the legislative process, citing the appointment of members of the Dewan Negara.

But there is a telling difference. Unlike the Federal Parliament – which has a two-house system, the elected Dewan Rakyat and the appointed Dewan Negara – state legislative assemblies are unicameral. There is no second chamber.

Introducing nominated members into a single-house legislature and giving them full voting privileges destroys legislative equality because an appointed member who never faced a single voter gets the exact same vote as an assemblyman elected by 52,151 citizens (Kesidang, Melaka, N.19) or 132,579 voters (Kota Iskandar, Johor, N.49).

Nominated members can vote on crucial supply bills and votes of confidence. In a hung assembly or a state with a razor-thin majority, a government could use appointed members to artificially pad its numbers and stay in power.

Ab Rauf also assured that the Melaka bill was not intended to create a back door to gain political power and position.

But that is exactly what opponents fear. There is no guarantee that it won’t be misused or abused tomorrow, if not today.

History teaches us that such provisions almost always degenerate into a system of political patronage.

It is reasonable to fear that these seats will inevitably become a gilded pension scheme for party hacks, defeated cronies, and sycophants whom the electorate had the good sense to reject at the ballot box.

It is reasonable to fear that what starts off as noble-sounding could quietly shift power from the electorate to the executive.

Introducing nominated assemblymen quietly undermines the very principle that makes representative government legitimate: the direct accountability of the elected to the people.

Over time, this erosion of sovereignty can breed cynicism. When legislators feel their authority can be diluted by appointees who never faced the electorate, they may lose the incentive to serve the people with honesty and foresight.

Or, if they are part of the ruling government, they may feel that as long as they toe the leadership’s line, they will be safe because the appointed assemblymen will toe the line in any vote of confidence. Which means they will likely work for the leader or party, not their constituents.

The quality of elected members may not decline, but the quality of democracy will — a democracy that no longer answers to the ballot box alone.

Also, opposition voices may be marginalised; not because they are weak, but because the game is played by new rules.

And public faith in institutions could erode if citizens begin to see politics as “who appoints whom” rather than “who represents us”. Over time, this could breed even more apathy and lower voter turnout.

The introduction of nominated assemblymen is an encroachment – even a robbery, if you like – of the fundamental idea that, in a democracy, authority belongs to the people.

But there’s no outrage because this is not about cats or dogs or religion.

The views expressed are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect those of FMT.

COMMENTARY | Anwar Is So Weak

 

A couple of days ago, Anwar warned his ministers that if he caught any of them attacking their colleagues in the unity government while campaigning in the state election, he would ask them to leave the Cabinet.

That very same evening, Tok Mat responded by saying that he had not attacked any of his colleagues, but if Anwar wanted him to leave, all he had to do was ask.

The next day, Zahid Hamidi picked up where Tok Mat had left off by saying that Anwar did not even have to ask anyone to leave — if he wanted to, he could simply sack all the BN ministers from the Cabinet.

Do you know what Anwar did yesterday in response to the way the BN No. 2 and No. 1 leaders openly challenged his warning?

He wrote a poem.

Burung merbah terbang sekawan,

Guruh berdentum membelah awan;

Berbeza langkah, jangan putus kawan,

Selagi muafakat, kita sehaluan.

It was a poem about how people can have differences of opinion, go their separate ways, and still remain friends.

Think about that.

Anwar issued a warning. The very people his warning was directed at publicly challenged him to carry it out if he dared. Instead of enforcing his own warning and demonstrating that his words carried weight, he responded with a poem about friendship and reconciliation.

Then he moved on to other matters as though nothing had happened.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is our leader and Commander-in-Chief.

Does any sane Malaysian believe this forked-tongue Umno president (a party of pencuri-pencuri or thieves) is a friend of the Madani Unity Government (UG) or rakyat dan negara (people and country)? "We've been conditioned to think that only politicians can solve our problems.

Zahid and BN-Umno getting more emboldened with NATO PMX Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22, 2026: After Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim yesterday warned Pakatan Harapan (PH)’s Madani Unity Government officials from criticising allies in the Negri Sembilan election campaigns …

Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman and Umno president Zahid Hamidi today declared (electoral) war with PH and instructed supporters to back the Taliban-like PAS dominated Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the Aug 1 Negri Sembilan polls.

Sane Malaysian will immediately see this as the ultimate political backstabbing from BN-Umno, a party of racial and religious bigoted pencuri-pencuri (thieves) of the rakyat dan negara (people and country).

But to Anwar and his PKR and PH bootlickers, Umno is still a “trusty” political ally!

That is why Umno is still in the UG!

Anwar sure is looking more than just a political wimp by the day … a NATO (No Action Talk Only) politician with a “politically spastic brain”.

Perhaps, Anwar is fearful of losing control of the 222-seat Parliament and the Prime Minister’s Office?

Based on his leadership history, Anwar is likely to maintain his NATO (No Action Talk Only) image and just strut around with his “tail in between the legs”!

The majority of Malaysians can now see clearly, except Anwar, that the racial and religious bigoted Umno party of pencuri-pemcuri (thieves) are a bunch of greedy politicians bent on seizing power to control and help themselves to the rakyat dan negara (people and country)’s wealth.

 Ask, why is it that the Malays are still poor in a country blessed with abundance in natural resources, yet under Umno’s governance since Merdeka (Independence) 1957, they are still in socio-economic misery?

BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the prime minister would not sack BN ministers as they have been hardworking.

SEREMBAN: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim can sack the eight Cabinet ministers from Barisan Nasional if he does not like them, says BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Zahid, who is deputy prime minister, said he saw no reason for any of BN’s eight ministers to resign, after Anwar said those who attack their government colleagues on the election campaign trail should step down.

“The prime minister warned that those who talk bad about other ministers or deputy ministers (during the election campaign) should resign. Those are his orders.

“But my answer is this: there’s no need to order people to resign because the prime minister is the one who appointed ministers and deputy ministers. If he doesn’t like us, just sack us.

“But he wouldn’t have the heart to sack us. All of us work very hard,” he said at an event with staff of the Negeri Sembilan community development department, or Kemas, here.

On Sunday, Anwar warned ministers, deputy ministers and officeholders in government agencies under the federal administration against attacking one another while campaigning during state elections.

The Pakatan Harapan chairman said those who turn the state elections into a platform to attack others should step down from their positions.

BN’s eight ministers include Zahid (rural and regional development), BN deputy chairman Mohamad Hasan (foreign affairs), as well as Umno vice-presidents Johari Ghani (investment, trade and industry) and Khaled Nordin (defence).

 PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has warned ministers, deputy ministers and officeholders in government agencies under the unity government administration against attacking one another while campaigning during state elections.

Anwar, who is also the Pakatan Harapan chairman, said the decision was made after he spoke to deputy prime ministers Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Fadillah Yusof, Harian Metro reported.

“We remind candidates, especially those holding minister, deputy minister or agency positions, that they can campaign on state issues,” he was quoted as saying after attending Program Madani Kita at the Taman Perpaduan community hall in Ipoh today.

“So far, we have asked them to exercise restraint so that our relations at the federal level remain good, so that work can proceed. Let us keep it under control if there is a contest at the state level.”

Anwar said federal officeholders should not turn state elections into a platform to attack others and must maintain discipline.

“If they choose to do that, they should step down from their positions. We have to ensure there are no violations, because if there is a violation, I will ask them to step down,” he said.

Negeri Sembilan is the next state to hold elections, with two federal ministers contesting: Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook in Chennah and Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan in Rantau.

Earlier today, PH Youth leaders called on BN ministers and deputy ministers to resign from the Cabinet following the latter coalition’s cooperation with PN in the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections.

They accused BN of being “two-faced” and said the cooperation raises serious questions about the coalition’s commitment to the unity government.

In the Negeri Sembilan state election, PH and BN will not be contesting as allies. Instead, BN is cooperating with the PAS-led Perikatan Nasional, while PH is contesting all 36 state seats alone.

“Resign if you attack fellow Unity Government partners,” Anwar enforces discipline

Anwar reaffirms commitment to modernising Islamic education through AI, digital transformation and RM15.3 million in funding for religious institutions in Perak (Photo from NSTP) - July 19, 2026

PRIME MINISTER Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has paired a call for political discipline within the Unity Government with a renewed push to future-proof Malaysia's Islamic education system, signalling that stability in governance and investment in human capital remain key priorities of his administration.

Speaking after attending the Program Madani Kita at the Taman Perpaduan Community Hall in Ipoh on Sunday, Anwar warned that ministers, deputy ministers and heads of federal agencies must not exploit their official positions to attack fellow Unity Government partners during campaigning for the Negeri Sembilan state elections.

He stressed that while candidates were free to debate state issues, they must preserve working relationships within the Federal Government.

"If they hold a position in the Federal Government, they cannot use it to attack their partners or turn this into a political platform for confrontation because they must observe discipline.

"If they choose to do so, they must resign from their position. We must ensure that no one breaches this principle because if there is a violation, I will ask them to step down," he said.

Anwar said the directive followed discussions with Deputy Prime Ministers Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, adding that all parties agreed federal cooperation must remain intact despite electoral contests at the state level.

"We have reminded the candidates, especially those serving as ministers, deputy ministers or heads of federal agencies, that they may contest issues relating to the state.

"For now, we ask them to exercise restraint so that our relationship at the Federal level remains strong and the government's work can continue uninterrupted.

"Let us manage any political contest at the state level," he said.

Earlier in the day, Anwar outlined the government's vision for a modern Islamic education system while officiating at the 2026 Perak Pondok and Religious Schools Gathering at Sekolah Agama Bantuan Kerajaan (SABK) Maahad Al-Ummah in Chemor.

He announced RM15 million in allocations for pondok schools and religious institutions throughout Perak, together with a special grant of RM300,000 for Maahad Al-Ummah, aimed at upgrading facilities and supporting digital transformation initiatives.

The Prime Minister said the government was determined to ensure students in pondok schools and such religious institution were not left behind in mastering emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence.

"We will continue to strengthen and elevate religious schools and pondok institutions throughout the country. We will continue the digital transformation initiative for Islamic educational institutions so that new technologies can be introduced and our children will be better prepared to face future challenges.

"I am proud that pondok institutions today are not only strengthening the Islamic tradition and the study of classical religious texts, but are also ready to explore new disciplines such as computers and AI," he said.

Also, present were Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Dr Zulkifli Hassan.

Anwar said pondok institutions had played a pivotal role in preserving Islamic faith, knowledge and identity throughout the colonial era and should continue serving as the moral foundation of society while embracing technological progress.

"Malaysia does not merely aspire to become a developed nation in AI, information technology or the energy transition. We want to become a Madani nation that preserves its values, morality and identity.

"That is why pondok institutions and maahad (educational establishment) must continue to be strengthened because they serve as the bastion that safeguards the knowledge, faith and moral values of the Muslim community," he said.

The Prime Minister's twin messages underscored his administration's emphasis on safeguarding the cohesion of the Unity Government while ensuring Malaysia's religious education institutions evolve to meet the demands of an increasingly technology-driven economy. - July 19, 2026

ANALYSIS | Why Anwar Should Sack Tok Mat Now

Earlier today, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim warned that ministers, deputy ministers and heads of federal agencies must resign if they use their positions to attack fellow Unity Government partners during state election campaigns.

He did not name any names, but we can only assume that the person that the warning is from BN, and that person must be a high-ranking minister for Anwar himself to issue the warning, because it is highly doubtful that Anwar's ire is directed at a minister from PH.

By evening, Foreign Minister and Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan, who is contesting in the Negeri Sembilan election, came out to say that although he has not attacked anyone in the government, he will quit his Cabinet position if Anwar orders him to do so.

From this, we can infer that the person Anwar was warning was Tok Mat. The reason for the back-and-forth between the both of them is likely because, as I predicted earlier, if Tok Mat succeeds in wresting control of Negeri Sembilan from PH, he is going to topple Zahid Hamidi and become the president of Umno, before challenging Anwar himself for the prime ministership in GE16.

Perhaps Anwar has been reading the posts here, and realised that this is what is going to happen.

Well, if it is indeed the case that Anwar is reading the posts here, this is what I think he should consider doing.

I think Anwar should just take this opportunity to ask Tok Mat to quit.

After all, it was Tok Mat who offered to quit without even needing to. So Anwar should simply accept his offer. He should just say something to the tune of:

"I don't understand why you had to speak up publicly against me. It makes it sound as though you are challenging me for no reason, when you didn't even have to. You are causing me to lose face. So fine, do as you wish. You offered to quit if I ask, so I will ask. Hand me your resignation letter first thing tomorrow morning."

I think Anwar should ask Tok Mat to quit because Tok Mat won't expect it, and it will upset all of Tok Mat's plans.

As for the mayhem that it will create, well, the mayhem is going to come either way. So rather than have it come later, at a time of Tok Mat's choosing, why not have it now, when Tok Mat is not expecting it?

This is a good time for Anwar to do it because not only will it take Tok Mat and his team by surprise, it might even turn things around in Negeri Sembilan.

PH is already widely expected to lose in Negeri Sembilan, so Anwar should do something drastic to change the political narrative.

If Anwar makes Tok Mat quit, it might be exactly what PH needs to turn things around in Negeri Sembilan.

And if it doesn't?

So what?

PH is expected to lose Negeri Sembilan anyway. That being the case, Anwar has little to lose by taking the gamble.

In the way I see it, Tok Mat is a planner - he is not someone who will do well thinking on his feet.

Anwar on the other hand, is someone whose forte lies in thinking on his feet.

That being the case, what Anwar and Zahid should do to defeat Tok Mat is to not give Tok Mat time to plan, but instead force Tok Mat to think on his feet.

If Anwar falls in Tok Mat's plans, chances are, he will lose.

But if he drags Tok Mat into the arena that he is good at, then Fortune might favour him.

Let's see how the cookies will crumble.
