No News Is Bad News
Beginning of the downfall of Anwar’s Unity Government?
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16, 2023: While No News Is Bad News has been stressing that multiracial-multireligious Malaysia is being threatened by Taliban-like racial and religious bigot, politicians from both sides of the political divide continue to remain mum.
Is it a taboo for politicians to steer clear from the reality that is threatening national unity and harmony - thereby also putting a strain on healing Malaysia’s socio-economy which is saddled with a RM1.5 trillon national debt, no thanks to the previous federal governments and their leaders, the likes of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Najib Abdul Razak and Muhyiddin “I Am Malay First” Yassin.
No News Is Bad News reproduces below a calling a spade a spade analysis of Malaysia’s political dilemma by Finance Twitter:
BOMBSHELL – END OF THE ROAD FOR ‘TIN KOSONG’ ANWAR STARTS HERE! – INSTEAD OF DESPERATELY RAINING CASH ON MALAY VOTERS, IN POSSIBLY THE LAST 5 YEARS FOR MALAYSIA, HE SHOULD PRESS FOR AS MUCH MULTIRACIAL & LEVEL-PLAYING REFORMS TO SAVE THE COUNTRY BEFORE IT GOES TO THE DOGS – STOP WASTING TIME & ACCEPT CONSERVATIVE MALAYS ‘LOVE’ DIRTY WATER, POVERTY, RACISM, EXTREMISM & CORRUPTION – ALREADY SANUSI & SAMSURI ARE REPLACING HIM AS THEIR HEROES – NEVER MIND THEY MAY NOT BE WELL-EDUCATED, UNTIL RURAL MALAYS WAKE UP, PAS DUO & PN EXTREMISM ARE WHAT THEY WANT!

Anwar Should Stop Wasting Time – Conservative Malays Love Dirty Water, Poverty, Racism, Extremism & Corruption
Anwar Ibrahim had been whining, moaning and bitching about the importance of good governance, political stability, economic growth, trustworthy leadership, anti-corruption and whatnot during his political rally in the just concluded six state elections. He spent most of his time in the rural Malay-majority areas, hoping to win their votes. As a result, he has ignored urban voters.
In fact, the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia was so desperate that he had basically rained cash – disguised as special aid and assistance – on civil servants and pensioners to pamper the Malay voters. He also splashed millions for Mara, Risda, Felcra, Felda and other Malay development programmes and agencies. Heck, he has even promised to consider raising salaries of civil servants.
To show that he was the biggest Malay hero, Anwar unilaterally wipes off RM8.3 billion in debt accumulated by Felda settlers, never mind the taxpayers’ money should be used responsibly rather than for a bailout. And to win the popularity contest, the premier started a war of words with former backdoor PM Muhyiddin over who should take the credit for cancelling the Felda debt.
The prime minister begged the people of Kelantan to rise up and make changes to enable the state, which has been under the clueless and incompetent PAS Islamic party’s rule almost uninterrupted since 1959, to enjoy development and progress. Promising not to marginalise Kelantan, he approved a staggering RM1.5 billion allocation to overcome the state’s water supply problems.
Kedah, another state under the control of Opposition Perikatan Nasional, saw a jaw-dropping RM3 billion allocated by the Anwar administration to improve “paddy yields” production in an effort to increase farmers’ monthly income. Anwar told the Malay community that he was committed to improving the livelihood of farmers, fishermen and rubber smallholders.
Not only the unity government has increased monsoon cash aid to rubber smallholders from RM600 to RM800 per month, the fishermen were being given RM300 every month. This year alone, a special RM200 Aidilfitri festive cash aid had been given to more than 850,000 farmers, rubber smallholders and fishermen. Like a Santa Claus, Anwar was throwing cash to the Malay community.
In Terengganu, as Chief Minister Ahmad Samsuri and his wife were happily honeymooning in New Zealand, leaving 40,000 flood victims to fend for themselves, PM Anwar Ibrahim was the top leader who rushed to visit the flood-hit areas. The federal government immediately allocated RM100 million to opposition states Kelantan and Terengganu, with a promise to provide extra funds for disaster management.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the premier cared more about the welfare of the Malays in the opposition states than his own Pakatan Harapan-ruled states such as Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan. The charismatic Anwar thought the Malays would appreciate what he had done to the community, in spite of lies and fake news spread by the opposition to demonise him.
Too afraid to offend the conservative Malays, the prime minister was reduced to bullying a teenager during a dialogue session at Kolej Matrikulasi Penang when the student of Indian ethnicity asked Anwar when will the discriminative “quota system” be abolished and replaced by a meritocracy system. The PM rudely interrupted the student, before criticizing her for asking a sensitive question.
Yet, despite his best effort to demonstrate that he was more Malay than racist bigot Muhyiddin Yassin (president of Bersatu) and more Islamic than religious extremist Hadi Awang (president of PAS), Anwar Ibrahim has failed spectacularly in the six state elections. The poster boy was unable to convince conservative Malay-Muslim voter base to support his unity government.
Selangor, the crown jewel of Anwar-led Pakatan Harapan coalition, saw the opposition bloc increased its share of seats from five in the previous election to 22, effectively denied the ruling coalition its two-thirds majority. In Penang, the opposition Perikatan Nasional won 11 seats, up from one in the previous vote. Even in Negeri Sembilan, it won five seats, up from zero in the last election.
The Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS – Parti Islam Se-Malaysia) won all the 32 seats in the Terengganu state legislative assembly. That’s an improvement from the 22 seats that the radical party captured in the 2018 General Election. The United Malays National Organization (UMNO) was totally wiped out, allowing all the 32 state seats and all 8 parliamentary seats to be controlled by Perikatan.
Terengganu, recorded the highest voter turnout out of all six states, was captured by PAS largely due to the massive young Malay voters who returned home to vote. Likewise, it was a landslide victory in Kelantan after PAS lost only two of the 45 seats it contested. The Perikatan Nasional also successfully captured a two-thirds majority in Kedah to form the state government.
To make matters worse, the results of early voting from military camps showed up to 80% military voters overwhelmingly supported Perikatan Nasional in Terengganu. Previously, military camps or police quarters have often been viewed as strongholds of the government of the day – the “fixed deposit”. Despite PM Anwar’s commitment to improve the welfare of the armed forces, military camps chose to vote against him.
Mr Anwar should stop wasting time and resources trying to charm the stubborn and gullible conservative Malays. He can’t convert the converted, especially when those converted were being brainwashed with racist hatred, xenophobia, Malay supremacy and all forms of bigotry. The PM should realize that he can’t win the contest by trying to be more Malay and Muslim than Bersatu and PAS.
If the prime minister still doesn’t understand it, he is stupider than he looks. The people of Kelantan actually don’t mind digging wells for water supply. In fact, they just love drinking murky water. That explains why the Malay-Muslims in the state have been religiously voting for PAS since 1959. They actually believe the Islamic party holds the ticket to heaven, with the promise of “72 virgins” in the afterlife.
The conservative Malays in Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah, as well as Perlis, don’t really care about infrastructure facilities and development. They don’t understand economic issues such as rising prices, slowing growth, and the weakening Ringgit currency. That’s why they worship Kedah Chief Minister Sanusi like a God even though he, like all other PAS leaders, doesn’t know anything about economics.
Sanusi was seen as a Malay hero because the clown was extremely good in entertaining the villagers, never mind he talks cock most of the time. His lies and fake news were taken as gospel because the rural Malays were too lazy to read and think. With limited intelligence and inferior education, snake oil salesman like Sanusi could easily hoodwink them without lifting a finger.
Rural Malays – old and young – naively believed that non-Malays were about to take over the country as spewed by racist bigot like opposition leaders Muhyiddin, Hadi Awang and Sanusi. Even though the Agong (King), nine Sultans, Prime Minister, Chief of Armed Forces, Inspector General of Police, Attorney General and all top ranking officers are Malays, they still believe the lies.
The reason the radical Islamic bigots could use racial and religious hatred to control the conservative Malays is due to the “insecurities” faced by the ethnic thanks to racial politics propagated by past UMNO leaders, especially former PM Mahathir Mohamad. Already overwhelmed by Chinese economic prowess, the weak Malays needed political dominance to overcome their insecurity.
Hilariously, disgraced Mahathir’s children all become billionaires because the Malays once relied on a Malay hero called Mahathir. The best part was more than 850,000 farmers, rubber smallholders and fishermen are still poor till today, begging for RM300, whilst their so-called Malay heroes – including Muhyiddin – have become mega rich by spooking the Malay village folks that they needed protection.
Yes, UMNO deserves to be wiped out. Its past leaders practiced dictatorial-style leadership and gerrymandering and misused institutional tools to manipulate an electoral process to stay in power – till the May 2018 General Election. To attain dominance and remain in power, it had rigged the election by unfairly creating many small “Malay electorate” parliamentary constituencies as fixed deposit.
Today, those fixed deposits have been stolen by rival Perikatan Nasional, who replaces Barisan Nasional as the dubious defender of Islam and Malays. Conservative Malays flocked to Perikatan because they thought it could protect their interest. Therefore, even if the Anwar government spends billions to solve the water problems in Kelantan, the people will still vote for PAS, not Anwar-led unity government.
Anwar Ibrahim should instead focus on three areas – economy, education and reforms. National schools are seen as religious schools, producing not only students with violent religious extremism, but also have caused students ill-equipped to get jobs. Reforms are needed to prepare for the worst in the event the unity government were to lose power in the next 16th General Election.
More importantly, how the government manages the economy or bread-and-butter issues will decide whether the unity government could keep Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan. Even though the status quo result is a huge relief to Anwar and his government, the power-hungry Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin will try to seize power through backdoor.
The good news is the progressive and liberal Malay community has rejected PAS’ desire to transform Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan into a Taliban state. However, if Anwar is dumb enough to move “further to the right” with more Islamic and pro–Malay policies in order to appeal to conservative Malay voters, even after the state elections showed it didn’t work, then he is wasting valuable 5 years and should resign.

BULLSEYE! – PKR & UMNO DYING OF ‘NATURAL CAUSES’ – STUPIDITY!
Business, Politics | August 16, 2023 1:39 pm by | 0 Comments
PKR And UMNO Dying Of Natural Causes : Stupidity
First here is DD Sulaiman again:
First of all to my Bersatu friends why are you all shouting and screaming ‘REFERENDUM’? Referendum apa pula? Why so Third World Zimbabwe or Africa? Can we just stop with these ‘Reformasi’, ‘Referendum’, ‘Allahu Akbar’ sloganeering and shouting at the top of your voices? Jaga standard lah sikit braders.
What next – tie a bandana around your forehead? Angkat the keris again? Tie the Quran to the tips of your spears? (‘some of the Syrians raised pages of the Quran on their lances – Battle of Siffin 657 AD’).
Just behave normal lah – like me.
Now the Pakatan DAP are going around saying they won the total vote count. WRONG. They even lost the total vote count by about 57,000 votes.
The Pakatan DAP only won 99 out of 245 seats. That is only 40%. That is a FAILING GRADE. The PN won 146 seats or 60%.
The Pakatan DAP lost three States completely and their majority in Penang, Selangor and Negeri was reduced substantially.
UMNO is not happy that they could not appoint the MB for Negeri.
Selangor is still sorting out the MB.
Now MalaysiaNow says the following here :
https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2023/08/14/in-a-first-non-malay-reps-dominate-selangor-ruling-bloc
In a first, non-Malay reps dominate Selangor ruling bloc
perception that PH-BN do not represent the Malays
first time, non-Malay reps majority in Selangor’s ruling bloc
problem for PH and Barisan Nasional (PH-BN) alliance
last time Selangor saw non-Malays dominate assembly was 1969 elections
Umno-led BN suffered major losses to DAP and Gerakan
1969 Chinese majority in Selangor, population 1.6 million at that time
1970 Chinese 46% Malays 35%, and Indians 18%
PN unable to capture more seats despite Malay population
turnout 72% in SelangorMalays majority during early 1980s
2020 census Malays 60.6% of 6.4m, Chinese (27.3%), Indians (11.3%)
38 of 56 assemblymen or 68% are Malays – bulk of them not in ruling bloc
Only 16 of the 34 PH-BN assemblymen are Malays.
PN’s 22 assemblymen biggest Malay opposition in history of Selangor
OSTB : I have said this before – the Census or Banci is not done correctly. They are not counting the population accurately. Obviously in 2023 there are more Chinese in Selangor than what the Census says. These election results are proof. So many Chinese reps can win the elections because the Chinese vote is substantial.
And for the past 20 years the Banci fellows say the Indian population has been stuck at 2.0 million? Or less than 2.0 million? I think this is a syok sendiri attempt by the ketuanan types to understate the pendatang population and overstate the Malay population. You can believe your own hype (like 40,000 kids getting straight As for the SPM etc) but the election results show that the numbers are different.
There are also not enough Malay voters in Selangor. Just because they live in Selangor does not mean they are registered to vote in Selangor. Many Malays vote in their own States outside Selangor.
PH-BN came to power on the back of non-Malay support
All eyes will be on DAP and how it manages its dominance in Selangor.
DAP demanded the speaker’s post
jostle for positions in 12 local councils in SelangorI think they have been conned by their own hype.
