No News Is Bad News
A brutal outlook of DAP a.k.a MCA 2.0
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 14, 2025: No News Is Bad News reproduces below a brutal outlook on a DAP that has trnaformed from a political lion to a domestic cat.
The outlook was found shared in WhatsApp (images from yours truly):
THE FALL OF DAP: FROM LION TO HOUSE CAT
There was a time when the very mention of the Democratic Action Party sent tremors through the ruling class.
A time when Karpal Singh, the Lion of Jelutong, roared in Parliament with a ferocity that shook the nation.
When Lim Kit Siang marched town to town, constituency to constituency, fighting corruption with the stubborn rage of a man who refused to bow.
DAP was once the terror of Malaysian politics.
It spoke truth to power when truth was expensive and when power was dangerous.
It mobilised the young, the marginalised, the dreamers — and it dared Malaysians to imagine a different country.
That DAP no longer exists.
The Children of Giants Have Become Garden-Variety Politicians
What happened to the scions of Karpal Singh?
Once, their father stood in Parliament with a spine made of iron.
Today, DAP’s younger generation bends before the slightest wind from Putrajaya.
What happened to Lim Kit Siang’s henchmen?
The old guard who once challenged tyrants has now become silent administrators of the very system they once condemned.
When DAP entered government, something snapped — not in the system, but in the party itself.
The fire went out.
The roar faded.
The claws retracted.
Today, DAP behaves not like Karpal’s political heirs, but like MCA’s distant cousins — cautious, quiet, and terrified of offending the federal hierarchy.
The Party That Once Fought Fear Now Governs by Fear
The Sabah election exposed a truth DAP has tried to avoid:
DAP has become a slave to its own political comfort.
For years, the party lived on the moral high ground.
But once inside the government, DAP became paralysed by the fear of losing its place at the table.
This is why the party:
• fell silent on Chinese education
• muted itself on UEC recognition
• refused to stand up for its base
• hid behind the language of “stability” and “coalition unity”
The party that once thundered against injustice could not even defend its own voters in Sabah.
In Luyang — a constituency once won by a mind-blowing 18,000-vote margin — the party was demolished by Warisan with a 6,000-vote majority reversal.
This was not a defeat.
This was an exorcism.
Sabahans purged DAP from their political landscape.
For the first time since the 1980s, DAP has zero seats in the Sabah Legislative Assembly.
Zero. Zilch
The number speaks for itself.
From Lions to Lapdogs
You cannot be the voice of the people if the sound of Putrajaya terrifies you.
DAP’s leadership — once bold, once defiant, once feared — now behaves like a party terrified of upsetting its coalition partners, especially PKR.
They call it “responsibility”.
Sabahans call it what it truly is — cowardice.
For years, DAP accused MCA of selling out its supporters.
Today, in the irony of ironies, many Malaysians now refer to DAP as MCA 2.0.
The tragedy is not that others said it.
The tragedy is that DAP earned it.
Sabah Did Not Reject DAP’s Ideals — They Rejected DAP’s Silence
Sabahans did not suddenly become anti-DAP.
They became anti-this DAP — the DAP that became timid, soft-spoken, calculating, and apologetic.
The DAP Sabah, once admired, was a party that spoke boldly against:
• corruption
• extremism
• racial discrimination
• federal overreach
The DAP they saw in PRN17 was a party that went missing when it mattered most.
Where were the fiery speeches?
Where was the moral courage?
Where was the Karpal spirit? Where was the Jelutong roar
Nowhere.
Sabahans watched a party that once swore to defend the powerless fall silent in the corridors of government.
And voters punished them accordingly — decisively, brutally, and without remorse.
The Rise and Fall of a Party That Lost Its Voice
DAP forgot something fundamental:
People do not vote for you because you exist. They vote for you because you fight.
DAP has stopped fighting — not because there’s nothing left to fight for, but because the party has grown too comfortable being part of the ruling class.
The firebrand party of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s ha
DAP fears to be feted to a duck eggs buffet spread!
Sabahans, especially the Chinese community, did not only give the DAP a duck eggs’ treat. They gave their trust and support to a Muslim leader in Warisan’s Shafie Apdal, and the popular vote too.
Warisan won popular vote as it contested all 73 seats, say GRS duo
PBS vice-president Arthur Sen says GRS, on the other hand, only fielded 55 candidates.

PETALING JAYA: Two Gabungan Rakyat Sabah leaders have played down the fact that Warisan won the popular vote in the Sabah state election on Saturday, saying this was only because the party had contested in all the 73 seats up for grabs.
Parti Bersatu Sabah vice-president Arthur Sen said the narrative that winning the popular vote meant Warisan was more popular in Sabah was misguided as GRS contested only 55 seats in the election.
Warisan received a total of 288,703 votes, 2,314 more than the 286,389 secured by GRS.
“They contested in urban seats like Elopura, Api-Api, Tanjong Papat, Likas and Tanjung Aru, which have a higher number of voters. GRS did not field candidates in these areas.
Play
“I think this reflects their failure to understand mathematics and draw proper comparisons,” Arthur told FMT.
He dismissed the narrative that Warisan was popular throughout Sabah, pointing out that the party led by former chief minister Shafie Apdal was defeated in 48 seats while 23 candidates lost their deposits.
“When so many candidates lose their deposits, can we say that the party is actually popular?” he asked.
Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah vice-president Masiung Banah mocked Warisan, saying the popular vote narrative that it was pushing showed that it could not accept its defeat in the polls.
He said it would only mislead Sabahans when all parties should respect that GRS had been given the mandate to form the state government.
“It’s an unfair comparison. They just want to confuse the rakyat, who actually want the new government to get to work. They should just move on and be a respectable opposition,” he said.
GRS won 29 seats on Saturday followed by Warisan (25), Barisan Nasional (six), independents (five), Upko (three), Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (two) and one each by Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM), Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional.
GRS chairman Hajiji Noor was sworn in as chief minister for a second term, receiving the backing of BN, Upko, PH, KDM as well as STAR assemblyman Ishak Ayub, who was appointed as an assistant minister.
STAR president Jeffrey Kitingan, the Tambunan assemblyman, will however sit in the opposition with Warisan.
