KUALA LUMPUR, July 22, 2026: No News Is Bad News takes pride that Prof Dr James Chin is now also asking the same question as us.
Is something wrong with (Prime Minister) Anwar (Ibrahim)?
We posted that question in earlier posts.
This was what Chin posted on Facebook today:

Is something wrong with Anwar? How can you afford to be so accommodating toward UMNO when they are actively plotting to bring down your government?
Let me be blunt:
If UMNO performs strongly in N9, Melaka will almost certainly trigger a state election. And if UMNO wins big in Melaka, they will use that momentum to pressure you into calling an early #GE16 so they can seize federal power.
Yet despite this reality, you are instructing BN candidates not to attack UG. What exactly is going on? What is wrong with you? Do you have a master plan to stay in power as junior partner to UMNO post #GE16? UMNO/BN is going with PN/PAS for GE16. It is clear as sunlight and you cannot see? What is wrong with you?

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?

What are you waiting for PMX Anwar? Sack Umno from state and federal governments?

PMX Anwar is all NATO, will not have the political courage to sack Umno from the governments. With only 26 MPs in the 222-seat Parliament, Umno has 13 Cabinet Ministers! Still greedy for more!
What are you waiting for PMX Anwar? Sack Umno from state and federal governments?
KUALA LUMPUR, July 21, 2026: Now that both Umno president Zahid Hamidi and his deputy Mohamad Hasan have defied Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s warning not to criticise colleagues in the governments, what is the 10th Prime Minister (PMX)’s response.
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?
So, in the coming state and federal elections, vote the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) at your peril. You deseve the governments you elect.
No News Is Bad News reproduces a news report on the arrogance of Umno despite having only 26 MPs in the 222-seat Parliament after the last general election (GE15):
PM can sack us if he doesn’t like us, says Zahid
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says he sees no reason for any BN minister to resign or for the prime minister to sack them as they are all hardworking.
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).
The others are BN secretary-general Zambry Abdul Kadir (higher education), Azalina Othman Said (law and institutional reform), Arthur Joseph Kurup (natural resources and environmental sustainability) and Noraini Ahmad (plantation and commodities).

Anything wrong with Anwar’s brain?

Anything wrong with Anwar’s brain?
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20, 2026: No News Is Bad News or we must be idiots or morons because we cannot understand the logic and rationale of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim still retaining Umno in the Government at all levels, including Government-Linked Companies (GLCs).
Clearly, the racial and religious bigoted Umno pencuri-pencuri (thieves) are stabbing him, Pakatan Harapan (PH) and the Madani Unity Government (UG).
Anwar’s weak and inaction have emboldened Umno to openly undermine Anwar and UG by openly working with Perikatan Nasional PN-PAS!
Soon after Anwar warned ministers, deputy ministers and officeholders in government agencies under the UG administration against attacking one another while campaigning during Negri Sembilan (N9) elections, Umno deputy president and Foreign Affairs Minister Mohamad Hasan swiftly responded that he would hesitate to resign if he is told by Anwar to do so.
So, Anwar, are you just a political wimp and a NATO (No Action Talk Only) politician?
Sack him NOW to show you mean business and discipline!
Like the post below found on Facebook, Umno should be sacked immediately instead or wasting time and breath by issuing warning:

Anwar warns ministers against attacking unity govt allies in state polls

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
PM warns ministers, deputy ministers and federal agency office holders that they will be asked to resign if they attack Unity Government partners during state election campaigns

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.
