Dinasor atau sang kancil... 

No News Is Bad News has a different take:

A - A sweet talking fake reformist who is NATO (No Action Talk Only);

B - Mr DNAA and a party or coalition that supports the corrupt and corruption (still lobbying to free jailbird Najib “1MDB” Razak) ;

C - A Taliban-like political party with such garbage extremist leadership or governance (very progressive indeed!):

 

D - A “I Am Malay First” racist who places race above nationality and loyalty to the country;

E - A convicted thief or kleptocrat who stole millions, if not billions, of Ringgit from rakyat dan negara (people and country); and

F - He (Rafizi Ramli) and his deputy (Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad) resigned from the Cabinet as ministers; resigned from PKR and as Members of Parliament (MPs) for the Reformasi (Reformation) cause.

We note that there are also two qualified prime minister candidates in East Malaysia left out in the image - Sabah Warisan's Shafie Apdal and Sarawak premier Abang Jo.

Bersama Reformasi to contest in Johor elections

KUALA LUMPUR, June 3, 2026: Bersama reformists Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad have confirmed that their party will field candidates in the coming Johor elections.

This is good news for multi-racial Malaysians as Bersama would serve as a political alternative to the expired and empty-promising Taliban-like PAS, Pakatan Harapan (PH) , Perikatan Nasional (PN-Bersatu) and the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN).

This means there will be five-corner free-for-all electoral battles (BN, PAS, PN, PH and Bersama) in Johor.

Bersama will also hold a nationwide tour to draw attention to its key agenda, with its first stop in Melaka on June 7.

Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad took over Bersama after resigning as the MPs for Pandan and Setiawangsa, and quitting PKR.

PETALING JAYA: Parti Bersama Malaysia will contest the state election in Johor, Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad have announced.

In a statement, the former PKR duo said further discussions would be held today with Bersama’s representatives in Johor to identify the seats the party would contest.

“The 2026 Johor state election gives Bersama the opportunity to introduce itself to Johor voters despite it being less than a month after Bersama was relaunched on May 17.

“This will also allow Bersama to establish its election machinery in a short span of time and test its strength in preparing for other future elections,” they said in a statement.

The former ministers also announced that Bersama would embark on a nationwide tour to draw attention to its key agenda, with its first stop in Melaka on June 7.

It will also visit Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Selangor, Penang, Kedah, Perlis, and Kuala Lumpur.

Rafizi and Nik Nazmi took over Bersama after resigning as the MPs for Pandan and Setiawangsa, respectively, and quitting PKR.

The Johor assembly was dissolved on Monday, paving the way for the 16th state election to be held within 60 days.

Also, are these three able to win enough seats in the 222-seat Parliament to form the next federal government with Sarawak and Sabah (Warisan) after the next general election (GE)?

Bersama’s political direction for multi-racial Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, June 2, 2026: Bersama (or Kancil) has yet to issue any statement on the dissolution of the Johor Assembly yesterday and whether it will contest in the elections.

Reformists (Reformasi) Rafizi Ramli and Niz Nazmi Nik Ahmad have been posting in the internet explaining what Bersama is about and its political direction for good governance for multi-racial Malaysians and Malaysia.

For the politically uninitiated, No News Is Bad News reproduces below some of the messages from the two reformists:

 

Rafizi Ramli 

 

TWO WEEKS TOGETHER, WHERE ARE WE GOING?

We're already together about to enter 2 weeks. Sort of things have happened.

I'd like to take 8 minutes to guide TOGETHER members and those advocates - where we are one month from now.

Chapter One: Situational Assessment - what is the current status and answering various questions?

1) Membership - we have passed 20,000 members as expected. I will update from time to time

2) What is TOGETHER ideology - we want to pioneer a more developed Malaysia for the common people, against the interest classes.

All along, political parties have changed but not many have the courage to fight the interest classes. Eventually, the system remains the same.

In the past, ordinary citizens were tired of working to live a better life because of the opportunity, Insya-Allah. Nowadays, ordinary citizens work hard just to get a chance, that too may not be successful.

3) How TOGETHER can achieve these goals - 12 TOGETHER Agenda aims to build a policy infrastructure that changes the system, not just continue what's already there with a few improvements.

Changes in laws, programs and approaches will be presented to the citizens, complete with cost benefit analysis, funding analysis and ways to implement.

4) TOGETHER will be like Fighters, Youth, PSM - win or lose is Allah's decision. TOGETHER does not put power in the near future as a target.

Nik and I have decided to let go of everything so that there is a political platform suitable for ordinary citizens that are future focused.

Insya-Allah, if we are sincere, Allah will help.

5) I paid RM8.5 million to buy TOGETHER - That's a slander spread by government cyber trooper, also sponsored by the Minister of Communications. Don't worry, we leave it to Allah. There will be a reply to them one day.

Mr Tan, the founder of TOGETHER cried while handing over the party to us. He only asks to take good care of TOGETHER and so that he can take care of the ordinary citizens better than he was able to do before.

Chapter Two: What's the guide to the field for the next month?

1) Focus on introducing TOGETHER and 12 Agendas to as many people. Thank you ordinary people who have coloured social media platforms with yellow and Kancil colours for the past 2 weeks.

Keep creating content, keep being creative. Create content that attracts the interest of young people and voters over the fence.

2) Check out mine and Nik's description about TOGETHER. When there is an attack, we will respond. When there is an issue, we speak up. We'll always make a statement.

Digest and understand what we are delivering, use those arguments to answer on social media.

3) Always comment with the link https://bersama.org so that people know where to become a TOGETHER member.

When tweeting, making content, commenting, replying on social media or forwarding on WhatsApp Telegram, there is always a link https://bersama.org

4) Maintain manners and orderliness, remove toxic things, focus on the positive. Don't be obsessed with me or Nik. I'm not handsome and fat, waste your time being obsessed with me. I'm not great, I'm just a little more brave than the other politicians.

When there are all sorts of curses, follow him. Just we give the facts, explain. He wants to whine as he pleases, because if he whines while slandering, he is paid for money in this world and paid for sins in the hereafter.

Be confident of allaah. We focus on positive things, about the future of the country, about the youth, about the people's difficulties.

Chapter Three: What important milestones will happen in June?

1) Insya-Allah, HQ TOGETHER will be ready by the end of June. Currently renovating, there will be a 400 person hall, meeting room and others. When ready, we'll smooth out the election machine here.

2) New merchandise will be launched. Focus on more interesting merchandise, fresher message and there are 2-3 merch that people never make.

3) We will provide recruitment kits to help members recruit new members. Looks a bit like a night. We will have a referral code, excellent members recruit new members we will eat TOGETHER and Insya-Allah Nik will pay ha3.

4) Nik and I will be going to the states introducing TOGETHER and outlining the 12 Agendas TOGETHER. If there is a professor of media from UUM who slapped early on, it's good for him to follow this tour so that he can compare the accuracy of how we developed each policy, compare also to other party manifestos. Then it is fair and worthy to be called a media professor.

5) Kancil App will be ready by the end of June. TOGETHER will manage members and build machinery on parliamentary seats using the app. From this app, we will bring closer the cooperation and goodwill of the members according to the parliamentary seats. PRU campaign on parliament seats will also begin.

Chapter Four: I want to be a candidate and JK the Sponsor

1) Everyone has a chance to become a candidate. Applications to become candidates will be opened in the near future. Have to go through a bit of the process of introducing yourself, speaking in front of the screen. Everyone has an equal opportunity. Don't have to know me or Nik to have a chance to be a candidate.

There are JK Candidates who will filter and evaluate one by one. I'm not in that JK, I'm busy being a war general down there if busy entertaining candidate applications, we're ruined.

2) TOGETHER there is no JK Sponsor either at the level of parliament or state seats. We will continue to build machinery at the parliamentary seat level from members and volunteers, management made through the Kancil app. We don't need JK Sponsors at parliament or state level because all membership matters are done through bersama.org and after this management of election campaign is done through Kancil app.

We want to start from scratch. We don't want to bring culture from any other party. That's why we skip the JK sponsor culture to avoid lobbying to become JK sponsor.

Once again, I, Nik and all those behind the scenes of TOGETHER would like to thank all the Malaysians who have been together so far.

We still have a long way to go, but we have already made the first step. Kancil just born and just learned to stand, now we train this kancil to be good at running.

Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad

TOGETHER believe politics must go back to basics.

Not politics to take over positions. It's not politics to accumulate wealth. It's not politics to take care of your own interests.

We need politics that serve. Honest politics. Politics that gives hope to the people.

Real change is not just changing governments. Real change is changing the way of thinking, political culture, and the pattern of administration of a country.

Why is DAP ‘dumping’ a truly multi-racial Malay Skudai assemblyman?

Why is DAP ‘dumping’ a truly multi-racial Malay Skudai assemblyman?

KUALA LUMPUR, June 1, 2026: Skudai (Johor) assemblyman Marina Ibrahim is truly a multi-racial DAP politician.

Yet, today DAP and its Johor chief Teo Nie Ching want to “axe” her by moving her to Tiram, a seat held by Umno.

It sure is mind-boggling why the DAP is “getting rid” of her?

However, she has turned down DAP and Teo’s offer to move to Tiram and an offer to head a Government-linked company if she loses (and how does Teo know DAP would still be in the Government after GE16)?).

Marina, however, turned down the offer and announced her retirement from politics.

However, the Umno-led Mentri Besar (MB) have secured the Johor Sultan’s approval to dissolve the Johor Assembly and pave the way for elections.

So, will Marina really retire or contest on another platform?

No News Is Bad News reproduces below an article posted by The Coverage on who multi-racial Marina is (also view the pictures at the bottom of the article):

Marina Ibrahim Represents Everything PAS Usually Attacks — Yet They’re Riding Her Wave

1 June, 2026

 

It is genuinely weird — and more than a little absurd — to watch some PAS supporters suddenly trying to ride on the wave of Marina Ibrahim, the young, progressive, and competent PKR leader from Skudai. They treat her like some kind of political asset they can borrow for optics, while everything about her public life directly contradicts the rigid, regressive worldview PAS has long championed.

Yes, one can (and should) criticise DAP for its hypocrisy on GLC political appointments and cronyism. That rot deserves scrutiny. But let’s not pretend PAS supporters are suddenly Marina’s genuine sympathisers or allies. That performance is hollow. Both sides have their hypocrisies, but Marina and PAS come from fundamentally different worlds. The attempt to act warm towards her feels like tactical opportunism rather than any real ideological alignment.

Marina represents the kind of modern Malaysian leader that PAS hardliners would normally spend their days attacking, not praising. She is young, vibrant, progressive, and comfortable in a multicultural society. She wears sarees during Thaipusam celebrations. She attends events where alcohol is served (without drinking herself). She has shaken hands with Buddhist monks during Wesak, visited Chinese temples, and even paid respects at Chinese graves. Her personal Facebook page operates significantly in Mandarin — something that would trigger instant allergic reactions among the more fanatical PAS circles who treat every Chinese character as a threat to “Tanah Melayu.”

Imagine the PAS response if one of their own women leaders behaved this way. The lectures would be endless: Why no tudung? Aurat! Haram! Why are you mixing so freely? They would dictate her clothing, her social interactions, and label half her schedule as “liberal contamination.” Yet some PAS voices now want to bask in her popularity? The cognitive dissonance is glaring.

Marina’s own words reveal her philosophy clearly. She has spoken movingly about her mother, a devout Muslim who prays, reads the Quran, and wears the tudung, yet freely brought Christian friends shopping during Christmas and Chinese friends during Chinese New Year. Marina quoted her mother’s wisdom: being around non-Muslims does not diminish one’s faith if one’s iman is strong. This is tolerant, confident, inclusive Islam — not the punitive, suspicious, control-obsessed version promoted by PAS politics.

PAS’s brand of politics often feels too shallow-minded, too restrictive, too punitive, too ancient, too regressive, and too extreme for a modern, multi-ethnic Malaysia. They appear more comfortable fielding candidates who can perform “terpaling Melayu” and “terpaling Islam” theatrics — even if they are mediocre or worse — rather than promoting genuinely capable, intelligent, and service-oriented leaders like Marina. How many defamation suits have they lost? How often do they rely on slander and fitnah while remaining strangely silent on real corruption when it suits them?

Instead of moral policing what people wear, eat, celebrate, or attend, perhaps they should focus on actual governance. Marina doesn’t impose her personal beliefs on others. She doesn’t play busybody moral police. That live-and-let-live attitude is exactly what makes her appealing to many moderate Malaysians — and exactly why hardcore PAS ideology struggles to accommodate her without looking deeply hypocritical.

In short: PAS can criticise their political opponents. That’s fair game. But pretending to embrace or ride the wave of a progressive, multicultural, Mandarin-savvy, temple-visiting woman leader like Marina Ibrahim is simply not believable. It exposes the ideological gap rather than bridging it. Malaysia needs more leaders who can function comfortably across communities without needing constant religious enforcement. Marina appears to be one. PAS, by its own long record, is not built for that world.

       

None of the above are reliable potential PMs, so who?

 None of the above!!!

None of the above are reliable potential PMs, so who?

KUALA LUMPUR, June 1, 2026: The above Facebook image asks which of the three will you vote/elect to be your next prime minister?

It also says Semua ni tak guna (all are useless).

“A” is a fake reformist who has failed to fulfill his Reformasi (Reformation) electoral promises, “B” is a joke and “C” is a bigoted Umno president.

No News Is Bad News wonders how “B” can even be considered a potential prime minister for multi-racial Malaysians and Malaysia! Why?

Look and study the image below!!!

 

With Samsuri and PAS governing Malaysians and Malaysia, socio-economic progress will surely regress speedily!

Johor’s assembly was dissolved today to make way for state elections within 60 days.

And it will be a free-for-all for political parties to contest.

Perhap the “under fire” 10th Prime Minister (PMX) Anwar Ibrahim could also dissolve the 222-seat Parliament to pave the way for a snap GE16 (16th General Election) simultaneously with state elections in the peninsula this week.

Malaysians who have been disappointed by Anwar and PH’s empty GE15 electoral promises, Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), they should look for alternative politicians and parties for change and Reformasi!
