Racial and religious bigotry promoting Malaysia as an international pariah state
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12, 2025: Racial and religious bigotry continue to promote Malaysia as a pariah state by the rest of the world.
Not only is the Opposition Perikatan Nasional (PN) guilty of such, even the so-called Madani Unity Government (UG) is in support of the bigotry by not doing nothing about bringing the bigots who threaten national unity and harmony to face justice, thus making a mockery of its 3R (Race, Religion, Royalty).
And, in the proposed Budget 2026, Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim has allocated a whopping RM 43.8 billion to bolster Bumiputera and Islamic Agenda.
That is well and good but … history has shown that none of such allocations had been used to stem racial and religious bigots, to promote national unity and harmony.

And, so Malaysia continues to be exposed shamelessly to the rest of the world with the following such news headlines:
PN’s Misplaced Priorities: Silent on School Rape and Budget 2026, Fixated on Alcohol
12 October, 2025
In a week that has shaken Malaysia to its core, two seismic events have dominated headlines: the gut-wrenching arrest of four Form 5 students for the alleged gang rape of a junior in a Melaka school, and the tabling of a record RM470 billion Budget 2026 aimed at steering the nation’s economic ship through turbulent global waters.
Yet, as the nation grapples with these profound crises—one a stark indictment of societal decay, the other a blueprint for our collective future—Perikatan Nasional (PN), along with its key pillars Bersatu and PAS, has offered nothing but crickets.
No press statements, no fiery parliamentary speeches, no social media outrage from their top brass. Instead, their energy remains laser-focused on a sideshow: the serving of alcohol at a tourism gala dinner, a non-issue that’s been milked for every drop of political theater. This isn’t just tone-deaf—it’s a betrayal of the opposition’s mandate to hold power accountable on matters that truly matter.
A Classroom Betrayal: The Gang Rape That Demands a National Reckoning
On October 11, 2025, police in Alor Gajah, Melaka, arrested four Form 5 teenagers accused of gang-raping a 15-year-old Form 3 girl in a school classroom—a space meant for learning, not violation. According to reports, two of the suspects allegedly recorded the assault on their phones while others participated, turning a house of education into a chamber of horrors.
The victim, a junior entrusted to the care of her school and community, now carries scars that no curriculum can heal. This isn’t an isolated incident; it echoes a disturbing pattern of sexual violence against minors in Malaysia, from Seremban’s September case involving four teens to broader concerns over statutory rape laws that sometimes blur lines of consent and culpability.
In the face of such barbarity, where is the outrage from PN’s moral guardians? PAS, with its self-proclaimed mantle as the defender of Islamic values and family sanctity, has been mute.
Bersatu, under Muhyiddin Yassin, offers no vision for youth protection or school safety reforms. Perikatan Nasional’s coalition chair, Hamzah Zainudin, hasn’t uttered a word on bolstering counseling services, stricter juvenile justice, or even a simple call for justice.
This silence isn’t neutral—it’s complicit. When leaders who campaign on “prihatin” (empathy) and “bersih” (cleanliness) ignore the cries of a violated child, they forfeit any claim to ethical high ground. Have they no daughters, no sisters, no stake in a Malaysia where schools are sanctuaries?
Budget 2026: A Fiscal Crossroads, Ignored by the Watchdogs
Just two days earlier, on October 10, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim unveiled Budget 2026 in Parliament—a whopping RM470 billion (US$111 billion) war chest promising economic resilience amid global headwinds, from carbon taxes to ASEAN power grid investments, all while pausing unpopular subsidy cuts to ease public burdens.
This isn’t pocket change; it’s the government’s pledge to grow GDP between 4% and 4.5% next year, fund healthcare, education, and infrastructure, and address inflation’s bite on everyday Malaysians. For an opposition serious about governance, this is prime time: dissect the allocations, probe the revenue hikes, rally against any fiscal sleights of hand.
But PN? Bersatu? PAS? Zilch. No dissection from Takiyuddin Hassan, no rallying cry from Sanusi Md Nor, no thread from Ahmad Fadhli Shaari on X tearing apart the “unity government” blueprint.
In a Parliament where they’ve positioned themselves as fiscal hawks—recall their August grilling over the 13th Malaysia Plan’s RM430 billion development spend—they’ve gone AWOL. Is it strategy, waiting for the fine print? Or is it apathy, preferring internal squabbles over Muhyiddin’s PM ambitions to actual policy scrutiny?
Malaysians deserve better than an opposition that treats the national purse like an afterthought, especially when subsidy reforms could hit the poor hardest—a demographic PN claims to champion.
The Alcohol Distraction: Moral Posturing Over Meaningful Action
Contrast this void with PN’s fervor over Tourism Minister Tiong King Sing’s October 1 gala dinner, where alcoholic beverages were reportedly served post-official program at a Global Travel Meet event. Tiong has since expressed “deep regret,” clarifying it was a private affair after the formalities and issuing an apology to avoid politicization. Even PM Anwar deemed it “inappropriate” but swiftly moved on, warning the ministry without escalating.
Yet, PAS and PN allies pounced, with lawmakers like Wan Hassan Mohd Ramli demanding guidelines and exploiting the flap for “political gain,” as one analysis put it. Umno and Amanah joined the chorus, but it’s PN’s selective sanctimony that stings: quick to decry a post-dinner drink as an “insult” to Muslim sensibilities, while a schoolgirl’s rape— a true desecration—elicits yawns.
This isn’t principled conservatism; it’s opportunistic virtue-signaling, a cheap tactic to score points on cultural wedge issues rather than tackle the rot in our education system or economy. If PN’s idea of opposition is harping on wine glasses while ignoring wounded children and wallet-strapped families, they’ve reduced themselves to partisan pests, not patriots.
Time for PN to Step Up or Step Aside
Perikatan Nasional’s top leadership—Muhyiddin, Hadi Awang, Hamzah—must confront this pattern of priorities gone awry. Their silence on the Melaka atrocity dishonors victims and erodes trust in institutions. Their indifference to Budget 2026 abdicates their role as a check on power, leaving Anwar’s agenda unchecked. And their alcohol fixation? It exposes a coalition more interested in performative piety than progressive politics.
Malaysia needs an opposition that roars for the voiceless, scrutinizes the spendthrift, and rises above petty provocations. PN, prove you’re more than memes and moral panics. Speak on the rape case. Dissect the budget. Or risk irrelevance in a nation weary of empty echoes. The clock is ticking—will you listen?
PAS Screams for Tiong’s Head Over a Sip of Booze—But Silent On Their Own Village Chief Raping His Own Daughter
11 October, 2025
As reported from a proceeding in a court at Pasir Putih in Kg S Petai, Kelantan –
A Father raped his own daughters ! –
2 Brothers raped their own younger sister ! –
A Mother reported the incidents to the police ! –
The Father is the Village Head in a state ruled by PAS ! –
The Father demonstrated in the recent Turun Anwar demonstration in Kota Raya ! –
Such news never made the headlines in any news outlet in Msia ! ! ! –
But drinking a glass of beer recently made National headlines ! –
Mistakenly hanging the Msian flag upside down got many people pulled into the police station & charged in court ! –
Mistakenly printed some religious symbols on the socks got a company & CEO into trouble ! –
Such is the real situation & the state of moral code of conduct in this beloved country of ours ! –
How can we save ourselves & save our kids?
In the quiet heart of Kampung Seri Petai, Pasir Puteh—a rural enclave in Malaysia’s northeastern state of Kelantan, long governed by the conservative Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS)—a courtroom revelation has shattered the facade of moral authority. On October 7, 2025, at the Kota Bharu Sessions Court, a 65-year-old man, identified in local whispers as the village head (ketua kampung), stood charged alongside his two adult sons for the sexual assault of his own daughters, aged 12 and 16. This is not just a family tragedy; it is a stark indictment of unchecked power, silenced narratives, and a selective outrage that plagues Malaysian society.
The proceedings, held before Judge Zulkifli Abdullah, painted a harrowing picture of repeated abuse within the confines of the family home. According to charges under Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (Act 792), the father is accused of physically sexually assaulting both daughters in separate incidents last July, between 2 p.m. and 3 p.g. One son, aged 33, faces allegations of assaulting the 16-year-old sister in mid-2024. The younger son, 24, is charged with an assault on September 19, 2024, between 12:15 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. All three pleaded not guilty, with the court denying bail due to the non-bailable nature of the offenses—each carrying up to 20 years’ imprisonment and whipping upon conviction. The case is set for re-mention on November 6, 2025.
What makes this case particularly insidious is the alleged perpetrator’s position of trust. As village head, the father was not merely a parent but a community pillar—tasked with upholding Islamic values and moral guidance in a state where PAS’s strict Sharia-influenced policies dominate public life. Reports from local sources suggest he actively participated in the “Turun Anwar” demonstrations earlier this year in Kota Raya, Kelantan, joining thousands in black-clad protests calling for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s ouster on July 26, 2025. There, amid chants for ethical governance, he reportedly waved banners decrying national corruption. Yet, behind closed doors, the very moral code he championed allegedly masked years of familial predation.
The catalyst for justice came from an unlikely source: the mother. Separated from the family but vigilant, she reportedly tipped off authorities after discovering the abuse, filing a police report that unraveled the nightmare. Her daughters, now in protective custody under the Social Welfare Department (JKM), represent countless silenced voices in rural Malaysia, where familial honor often trumps victim advocacy. Police investigations, led by the Pasir Puteh district station, continue to probe the extent of the trauma, with early indications pointing to a pattern of exploitation spanning over a year.
This scandal echoes a darker undercurrent in Kelantan, where sexual abuse cases have surged—252 reported rapes alone in recent years, per state police data. Yet, unlike high-profile outrages that dominate headlines, this story has barely rippled through national media. No breathless live updates, no viral op-eds.
Instead, Malaysian discourse fixates on trivial transgressions: a politician sipping a glass of beer in a conservative setting, sparking national fury and calls for resignation; a Malaysian flag inadvertently hung upside down at a Merdeka Day event, leading to police detentions and court summonses; or the infamous 2023 Bata socks scandal, where printed “Allah” motifs on footwear triggered boycotts, CEO resignations, and investigations under sedition laws. These “moral panics” eclipse the real predators lurking in plain sight.
Why the disparity? In a nation grappling with identity politics, PAS-ruled states like Kelantan prioritize symbolic piety—banning concerts, enforcing dress codes, and amplifying anti-vice rhetoric—over systemic safeguards against child abuse. Village heads, often unelected and embedded in PAS networks, wield informal power that can intimidate victims and witnesses. The “Turun Anwar” rallies, framed as crusades against federal “immorality,” ironically shield local hypocrites. As one anonymous community member told local reporters, “He preached from the surau pulpit about family sanctity, but his home was a prison.”
So, how do we save ourselves—and our children—from this moral hypocrisy? First, demand transparency: Push for mandatory reporting of abuse allegations against public figures, with independent oversight beyond police discretion. Second, amplify survivor voices through platforms like NGOs (e.g., Women’s Aid Organisation) and digital advocacy, bypassing gatekept media. Third, reform education: Integrate comprehensive sex education and trauma awareness in schools, challenging taboos that silence victims. Finally, hold leaders accountable—regardless of party or piety. True reform begins when a child’s scream drowns out the echo of empty slogans.
This case in Kampung Seri Petai is not isolated; it is symptomatic. Until Malaysia confronts its selective scandals, the shadows of betrayal will only lengthen. The daughters’ fight for justice is ours too—let it not fade into silence.

Anwar’s 2026 Budget Allocates RM 43.8 Billions to Bolster Bumiputera and Islamic Agenda
11 October, 2025
The recently tabled 2026 National Budget by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has unveiled a monumental financial commitment to the Bumiputera community and Islamic affairs, with a combined allocation reaching an estimated RM 43.8 billion. This comprehensive funding strategy, which spans direct agency funding, massive credit guarantees, and expanded social safety nets, signals the government’s intensified focus on affirmative action and religious stewardship.
A detailed analysis of the budget announcements reveals a multi-pronged approach designed to empower Bumiputeras economically, enhance their educational prospects, and simultaneously strengthen the development of Islam in Malaysia.
I. Direct Allocations: The Core Pillars of Development (RM 13 Billion)
This segment includes direct cash injections from the government treasury to key agencies.
1. Education as the Cornerstone: RM 6 Billion
A significant allocation of RM 6 billion is dedicated to Bumiputera education, channeled through the community’s primary educational engines:
· MARA
· Yayasan Peneraju
· Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM)
This fund aims to bolster educational opportunities from vocational training to university level, ensuring the community’s competitive edge in the future economy.
2. Uplifting Plantation Communities: RM 2.4 Billion
To support the backbone of the agricultural sector, nearly RM 2.4 billion has been earmarked for:
· FELDA
· RISDA
· FELCRA
This initiative is designed to strengthen the plantation sector and ensure the well-being of over 500,000 settlers and smallholders across the country.
Prime Minister Anwar highlighted that this investment will “further strengthen the Bumiputera agenda in education and entrepreneurship,” including the addition of 50 acres of Malay reserve land to safeguard community assets.
3. Strengthening Islamic Institutions and Syiar: RM 2.6 Billion
In a move to uphold Islamic affairs, the government has allocated a historic RM 2.6 billion to agencies like JAKIM. This funding will support religious development, education, and the promotion of Islamic values nationwide. Funds will support religious education, community programs, and infrastructure to “ensure the syiar of Islam stands firm and comprehensive in this nation
THE channelling of RM2.6 bil under Budget 2026 to ensure Islamic propagation remains all-encompassing and upright is by far the highest allocation set aside for the management of Islamic affairs in Malaysia.
4. Direct Support for Small Contractors: RM 2.4 Billion
A specific allocation of RM 2.4 billion is designated for Bumiputera contractors in categories G1 to G4, providing crucial direct assistance to small and medium-sized local businesses.
II. Targeted Financial Guarantees: Fueling Enterprise (RM 12 Billion)
Beyond direct cash, the government is leveraging its balance sheet to unlock massive private financing for Bumiputera and Halal businesses.
1. Empowering Bumiputera Entrepreneurs: RM 10 Billion
A RM 10 billion credit guarantee facility through Syarikat Jaminan Pembiayaan Perniagaan (SJPP) is dedicated specifically to Bumiputera entrepreneurs. This guarantee reduces bank risk, enabling business owners to secure loans they might not otherwise obtain.
2. Boosting the Halal Industry: RM 2 Billion
A further RM 2 billion government guarantee through SJPP is allocated for financing Halal-based small and medium enterprises (PKS), positioning Malaysia to capitalize on the growing global Halal market.
III. Expanded Social Safety Nets with Major Bumiputera Impact (RM 18.8 Billion)
Given the demographic composition, broad-based social assistance programs represent a significant financial flow to the Bumiputera community.
1. Cash Aid and Living Assistance: RM 7.1 Billion
Through programs like Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) and SARA, the Malay community is projected to receive an estimated RM 7.1 billion in aid. This marks a substantial increase from the RM 4.5 billion allocated in 2022, providing critical relief from cost-of-living pressures.
2. Facilitating Home Ownership: RM 12.3 Billion
The budget has dramatically increased the ceiling for the Skim Jaminan Kredit Perumahan (SJKP) to RM 12.3 billion for Bumiputera applicants. This guarantee scheme is a pivotal tool in helping the community achieve home ownership by enabling loans with minimal down payments.
3. Support for Bumiputera in Sabah and Sarawak: RM 1.9 Billion
The budget also includes a significant allocation of RM 1.9 billion specifically for Bumiputera communities in Sabah and Sarawak, ensuring development efforts reach all corners of the nation.
The 2026 budget, with its combined financial interventions totaling RM 43.8 billion, represents one of the most substantial commitments to the Bumiputera and Islamic agenda in recent years. By combining direct grants, powerful credit guarantees, and expansive social welfare, the government is deploying a full arsenal of fiscal tools to accelerate community development, ensure economic resilience, and reinforce the central role of Islam in the nation.
This spending blueprint is poised to generate significant economic activity within the Bumiputera community while setting a new benchmark for the scale of government support in this critical area.
