Loke and Gobind: If there is any integrity left, just resign from your party posts to save DAP
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1, 2025: Like what we had posted, the new DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook and chairman Gobind Singh Deo, need to take responsibility and accountability for turning DAP in an MCA 2.0.
Both need to resign from the DAP leadership to save the party from the political grave, like Umno’s No. 1 political lap dog MCA.
Both Loke and Gobind are responsible for leading their lap dog-comrades in the party elections this year to weed out the old guards, who are far above their political grades, from the leadership.
Taking responsibility and accountability is only just NATO (No Action Talk Only). Or are Loke, Gobind and DAP think those two words are no more in their dictionary after becoming a lap dog of the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led Madani Unity Government (UG).

No News Is Bad News is extremely delighted that Prof Dr James Chin has posted his views on DAP’s collapse in Sabah and this: Your real issue isn’t the non-Malay voters; your one and only problem is that the Captain steering your ship refuses to listen to you and keeps heading in the wrong direction.
Mr Rocket, no need to worry. The political landscape in Sabah (and Sarawak) is vastly different from Peninsular Malaysia. The factors that caused your defeat in Sabah, such as strong state nationalism, simply don’t exist to the same degree in Malaya.
Your real issue isn’t the non-Malay voters; your one and only problem is that the Captain steering your ship refuses to listen to you and keeps heading in the wrong direction. May I recommend watching “Mutiny on the Bounty” for some inspiration? Thank you for your attention.

Loke, Gobind, step down from leadership to save DAP
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30, 2025: DAP’s new secretary-general and Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook says he takes responsible for the “duck egg” performance at the concluded 17th Sabah Election?
He is obviously another NATO (No Action Talk Only) politician, like his big boss Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
If he is sincere about accepting responsibility and accountability, then he should at least resign as his party’s secretary-general.
It is almost crystal clear that DAP is politically imploding after Loke, chairman Gobind Singh Deo and his cahoots weeded out the old guards in the leadership and started moulding the DAP into MCA 2.0.
Loke and Gobind are simply not in the mould of the party’s towering figures - Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, Dr Chen Man Hin, P Patto, or even Sim Kwang Yang. Compared with them, they have still a long way to go.
So, do the right thing and step down as secrtary-general and chairman to save DAP.
Or are responsibility and accountability no more in DAP’s dictionary after becoming part of the so-called Madani Unity Government (UG)?

TOTAL DAP WIPEOUT in SABAH
---------------------------------------------
DAP’s wipeout in Sabah tonight should serve as a wake-up call, Anthony Loke.
This is what happens when you talk down to local Sabah leaders and fail to respect the sentiments of East Malaysians. It is painfully clear that you neither understand nor appreciate the political heartbeat of Sabahans and Sarawakians.
Take this as friendly advice. I suggest you do not step foot in Sarawak to campaign for your party in the next election. If you do, the Sarawak DAP may suffer the same fate.
Anthony Loke, you are simply not in the mould of the party’s towering figures - Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, Dr Chen Man Hin, P Patto, or even Sim Kwang Yang. Compared with them, you still have a long way to go.
It’s time to shed the arrogance and relearn humility and honesty - values your predecessors embodied so effortlessly.
And one more observation, Anthony Loke. You seem to be growing noticeably heavier these days. Perhaps enjoying a little too much of the perks and fine dining that come with ministerial life?
A reminder - the calories may be sweet, but the consequences aren’t. A healthier lifestyle might serve you better than the political comfort zone you’ve slipped into.
Saying that you will “take full responsibility” as DAP secretary-general after the party was wiped out in Sabah is simply not good enough. At moments like this, the honourable thing is not to make statements - it is to act.
Take UPKO president Ewon Benedick, for example. He was ready to resign as a federal minister on principle, despite recently being mocked by you. That is what accountability looks like.
So what about you, Anthony Loke? Would you even consider relinquishing a party post - let alone a cushy ministerial position? Or is holding on more important than living up to your own words?
If you’re not prepared to step aside, then your declaration of “taking responsibility” for your party’s total annihilation in the Sabah polls rings hollow.
It becomes a slogan, not a sacrifice - and certainly not leadership.

Yes! GE16 heading to nasi sudah jadi bubur for PH if …
Share to help stimulate good governance, ensure future of people & M’sia
No News Is Bad News
Quote: The Sabah state election yesterday saw eight out of 10 candidates implicated in an alleged corruption scandal involving businessperson Albert Tei emerging victorious.
Sabah polls: 8 implicated in mining scandal retain seats
Hajiji and Jeffrey among victors.
Yes! GE16 heading to nasi sudah jadi bubur for PH if …
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1, 2025: The just-concluded 17th Sabah Election is a loud wake-up call for not just the DAP but also the Anwar Ibrahim-led so-called Madani Unity Government (UG).
Even the racial and religious bigoted Taliban-like PAS, contesting under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) did not scare away Sabahans - giving PAS its maiden electoral victory.
So, PN-PAS one seat and PH also won one seat in Sabah!
Sabahans slaughtered DAP - losing all its eight seats, including incumbents and a deputy minister - and elected Sabahan politicians and parties.
And if the results don’t jolt PH-PKR, especially the DAP, from its political slumber, then they go into the next general election (GE16), which is due in 2027, for a nasi sudah jadi bubur (rice becomes porridge - meaning all is spoilt).
Rejected by Sabahans, especially the Chinese community.And if Anwar is not jolted and continues with his stubborn racist policies and ways of tolerating racism, the only way out to save DAP is to leave PH.
But first, new DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook and chairman Gobind Singh Deo must resign to take responsibility and accountability for leading their cahoots-in-comrade to “kick out” the old guards in this year’s party election.
Both Loke and Gobind are responsible for turning DAP into MCA 2.0, becoming Anwar’s No.1 lap dogs, if not already having out done Barisan Nasional-Umno’s loyal No.1 lap dog, MCA.
Maintaining political status quo without any real change is certain political suicide for the DAP, and the Chinese community in Sabah (and the Sarawakians earlier) have spoken against the Persekutuan (West Malaysia) racist policies and tolerance.
DAP has nothing to lose but all to gain/regain their political relevance by leaving PH if it needs be. After all, waiting for nasi sudah jadi bubur in GE16 is suicidal or no solution for DAP.
No News Is Bad News reproduces below two extremely well-written views circulating on WhatsApp on the warnings from Sabahans and Sabah and other posts:
SABAH HAS SPOKEN
By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ
A Silent Revolt, A Broken Fixed Deposit, and the Questions PH Can No Longer Escape
Something happened in Sabah that the entire nation needs to study carefully – not through the comfort of party propaganda, not through KL echo chambers, but through the eyes of ordinary voters who have sent the loudest message since 2018.
Eight DAP seats were wiped out in a single evening.
Eight out of eight.
Not one survived.
This wasn’t a swing.
It wasn’t a wobble.
It was a clean, calculated rejection.
But beneath the headlines of “Chinese Tsunami”, something else is brewing – something even more dangerous for Pakatan Harapan and any political coalition that believes voters will always behave like they did 15 years ago.
Sabah tells us one thing clearly:
The Age of 2-Corner Fights Is Dead. The Age of Real Choices Has Arrived.
Those days when each seat had only two candidates – BN vs DAP, BN vs PKR, Warisan vs GRS – are gone.
In Sabah 2025:
> SOME seats had five, six, even 7 candidates;
> LOCAL parties;
> INDEPENDENT candidates;
> NEW faces;
> YOUNG Sabahan-based parties; and
> REFORMISTS, activists and community champions.
This is not fragmentation.
This is freedom…
Voters are no longer choosing between “the devil you know vs the devil you don’t”.
They are choosing between 10 possible futures.
This is not bad for democracy.
It is healthy.
It is liberating.
It is a warning.
When you offer voters real options, they respond with honesty.
And in Sabah, the honesty was brutal.
1. Why did DAP collapse completely in Chinese-majority seats?
Not because Chinese voters suddenly love PAS.
Not because PN is irresistible.
Not because GRS is the new saviour.
The reason is simpler, colder, and harder to swallow:
Chinese voters stopped believing that DAP and PH are listening.
Everything else – economy, prices, double standards, arrogance – merely accelerated the anger.
For years, Chinese, urban and mixed seats were told:
> SUPPORT us, or the extremists will win. But when voters looked around, they did not see extremists. They saw Sabahan candidates, Sabahan issues, Sabahan frustrations.
And they asked:
> WHY must we keep saving you when you no longer defend us?”
The political marriage between PH and the Chinese electorate was already cracking.
Sabah simply broke it open.
2. Sabahans didn’t vote against DAP. They voted for Sabah.
For too long, federal parties treated Sabah as:
> A DEPOSIT box;
> A SEAT trophy cabinet;
> A TALKING point; and
> A BARGAINING chip in Parliament;
But Sabahans have matured beyond KL’s imagination.
They looked at PH’s campaign and saw:
> OUTSIDERS;
> IMPORTED narratives;
> TONE-DEAF deaf slogans;
> PROMISE-AFTER-PROMISE; and
> EXCUSES-AFTER-EXCUSES.
Meanwhile, local parties showed:
> FAMILIAR faces;
> GRASSROOTS work;
> LOCAL agendas;
> SABAHAN dignity; and
> SABAHAN identity.
Of course voters walked away.
This was not anti-Chinese.
This was not pro-Malay.
This was not religious extremism.
This was local pride overpowering federal arrogance.
3. Multi-corner fights changed everything – voters finally had choices.
For decades, voters in Malaysia had only two choices:
A) Vote for the government
B) Vote against the government
But in Sabah 2025, choices exploded:
> LOCAL parties offering real representation;
> NEW candidates untainted by old politics;
> COMMUNITY-DRIVEN Independents;
> FRESH faces representing youth concerns; and
> CHARISMATIC individuals beating big-party machines.
When voters have only two choices, anger becomes silent.
When voters have ten choices, anger becomes action.
That is why DAP’s drop wasn’t small – it was total.
When the monopoly ends, so does loyalty.
4. Hard Truth: Chinese voters did NOT swing to the right. They walked away from broken promises.
Many Chinese voters are tired of:
> BEING used as a safety net;
> BEING blamed for being “too demanding”;
> BEING told to wait until “Malay ground stabilises”
> BEING asked to sacrifice again and again;
> Being given lip service instead of policy;
> WATCHING double standards in corruption cases;
> SEEING economy issues explained away with excuses;
> WATCHING groups spread racism without consequences; and
> FEEING like second-class voters in a coalition they helped build.
This is why Chinese voters didn’t run to PN.
They ran to ANYONE ELSE.
Warisan.
GRS.
Independents.
Smaller parties.
It wasn’t about ideology.
It was about dignity.
5. So what MUST Pakatan Harapan fix before GE16?
Here are the questions PH’s leaders must answer – not on stage, not with slogans, but with courage and honesty:
> ARE you willing to be transparent and consistent in corruption cases – even if your allies are involved? Selective action, strange settlements, and politically timed arrests have destroyed trust. Justice cannot depend on political convenience.
> ARE you willing to speak up against racism and religious extremism – or will you keep quiet out of fear of losing votes?
Silence is weakness.
Silence is approval.
Silence is betrayal.
> WILL you continue treating Chinese, Indians, Sabahans and Sarawakians as “backup voters”?
Or will you finally treat them as equal Malaysians with equal priorities?
4. Will you respect Sabah and Sarawak as partners – not colonies? If PH continues to behave like “parti Malaya”, Sabah and Sarawak will continue to punish them.
5. Will you stop using fear as a campaign tool and start using clear policies?
People are tired of:
> FEAR of PN;
> FEAR of PAS; and
> FEAR of extremism
Fear is not a manifesto.
6. Will you finally govern with honesty, humility and loyalty to ALL Malaysians?
Or will PH repeat BN’s downfall – denial first, collapse later?
6. The final truth Sabah taught us: NO political party owns any race anymore.
Not the Malays.
Not the Chinese.
Not the Indians.
Not the Kadazan-Dusun-Murut.
Not the Sabahans.
Not the Sarawakians.
Voters have evolved.
Malaysia has evolved.
And the party that refuses to evolve will be erased, just like BN, Umno, MCA, MIC… and now possibly DAP in East Malaysia.
7. Sabah was not the end of PH – but the warning before GE16.
A warning that says:
> WHEN people have choices, they don’t need you anymore;
A warning that says:
> STOP racism. Stop arrogance. Stop excuses. Start governing.
A warning that says:
> IF you can betray our trust, we can betray your vote.”
This wasn’t a tsunami.
This was a mirror.
And the reflection is not pretty.
If the leaders of Pakatan Harapan want to survive GE16, they must:
> LISTEN;
> BE humble;
> BE transparent;
> RESPECT every community;
> DROP ego;
> STOP racism;
> RESTORE justice;
> DELIVER results; and
> HONOUR the people who trusted them.
Because the voters have spoken once.
And they will speak louder next time.
Malaysia has changed.
The question is: Will the government change with it?
Or will they continue sliding into the same arrogance that destroyed BN?
Sabah has already answered.
Now it is PH’s turn.

OP-ED: THE NIGHT DAP DIED IN SABAH — AND WHY PMX IS THE ONE WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER
On 27 November 2025 — just 48 hours before Sabah went to the polls — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim walked into a hall of Sabah Chinese community leaders and delivered the single most politically suicidal line of his career:
“You cannot scold me, call me ‘lu siau eh’, and then come ask for things again.”
In one stroke, he confirmed every fear, every suspicion, every private complaint the Chinese community had whispered among themselves since PMX took office:
Arrogant.
Unaccountable.
Entitled.
And above all — dismissive of minorities.
As if federal allocations come from his father’s pockets.
As if the people owe him gratitude for doing the bare minimum as head of government.
Two days later, Sabah voters responded.
Not with words.
Not with anger.
But with ballots — and a landslide political execution.
And DAP was marched to the firing squad.
Eight out of eight seats collapsed. Not lost — obliterated.
Once-giant majorities evaporated into humiliating chasms.
• Likas: +7,517 becomes –2,425
• Luyang: +14,521 becomes –6,699
• Kapayan: +13,163 becomes –9,256
• Elopura: +7,683 becomes –3,375
• Sri Tanjong: +8,880 becomes –3,113
These are not electoral “swings.”
This is a political landslide into the sea.
For the first time in decades, Sabah voters — especially Chinese voters — sent a message louder than anything PH has ever heard:
“We don’t owe you.
You don’t own us.
And we will not be insulted.”
DAP’s wipeout wasn’t an accident. It was a verdict.
For years, DAP acted as if unlimited goodwill from Chinese Malaysians was guaranteed.
They bent over backwards for PMX’s ego.
They defended every U-turn he made.
They justified policies that harmed their own voter base.
They stayed silent as the federal government flirted with religious hardliners.
They tolerated corruption scandals involving PMX’s closest allies.
And the Chinese community noticed.
Respect goes both ways — and PH stopped giving any.
Then PMX delivered the final insult.
He told the Chinese community — publicly — that they were “crazy” and should stop expecting fair treatment.
DAP stood there smiling next to him.
So Sabah wiped them out.
This wasn’t just Sabah. This was a preview of GE16.
If a single arrogant remark can sink DAP in a place they once dominated, what happens when:
• COST of living continues rising;
• CORRUPTION goes unanswered;
• PATRONAGE politics keeps expanding;
• ISLAMISATION creeps further; and
> PMX keeps talking down to minority communities?
Simple.
GE16 becomes a referendum on PH’s arrogance and PMX’s ego.
And if Sabah is any indicator, that referendum won’t end well for them.
The crooks will blame Warisan.
They’ll blame Warisan.
They’ll blame “anti-federal narratives.
But the truth is much simpler:
DAP collapsed because the people finally stopped tolerating abuse.
PMX accelerated the collapse by insulting the very voters who kept him in power.
Sabah was the first major warning.
The next will be nationwide.
The real show begins at GE16 — and the voters now know exactly where to aim.

Will PKR and DAP wait for Nasi Sudah Jadi Bubur in 2027?
Share to help stimulate good governance, ensure future of people & M’sia
No News Is Bad News
This is DAP in Sabah. Will it be DAP and PKR’s political fate in the general election in 2027?
Will PKR and DAP wait for Nasi Sudah Jadi Bubur in 2027?
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30, 2025: The 17th Sabah Election yesterday should send the shivers down Pakatan Harapan (PH), namely DAP and PKR.
The Chinese Political Tsunami saw Sabahans dumping the DAP like hot potatoes - DAP lost all the eight seats it contested, including incumbents and a deputy minister in the Cabinet.
PH contested 22 seats and won onlt one!
At least the racial and religious bigoted Umno chief Dr Akmal “Dr Ham/I Am Malay First) Saleh’s Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) could still win six seats!
Not only have Sabahans continue to embrace BN-Umno, they have also welcomed the racial and religious Taliban-like PAS, giving PAS its maiden seat in Sabah (Borneo)’s in electoral history!
The question now is whether the Chinese Political Tsunami is confined to Sabah or is it a sign for the tsunami to strike PKR and DAP (aka MCA 2.0) in the next general election which is due in 2027.
It is now time for PH and PKR chief Anwar Ibrahim and MCA 2.0 to seriously sit down and reflect on their dismal performance in Sabah and whether they need to reset their political course to for a truly multi-racial Malaysia for rakyat dan negara (people and country) - before it is too late (nasi sudah jadi bubur).
No News Is Bad News reproduces below a news round-up by Free Malaysia Today:
PKR’s poor run in Sabah continues as DAP stunned
Pakatan Harapan will have much self-reflection to do, after fielding 22 candidates and seeing only one victory - an assemblyman parachuted in from GRS.
Pakatan Harapan component parties, PKR and DAP, failed to retain all 10 seats it had won in the last state election in 2020.
PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) saw a disappointing outcome in the 17th Sabah state election yesterday, winning just one seat despite fielding 22 candidates.
The coalition’s sole victory came through PKR in the form of an assemblyman who had been parachuted in from Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).
This meant PKR’s poor performance in Sabah continued, with nine other candidates being defeated.
Its ally, DAP suffered a disastrous outing too, being wiped out entirely, after losing all eight seats it had won in the last state elections in September 2020.
The other PH component, Amanah, also failed to secure a foothold in East Malaysia, even as its bitter rival PAS made history.
PKR had struggled for years to expand its influence beyond the two seats of Api-Api and Inanam, which it won in the 2013 general election (GE13) and retained in the last state polls. The party also holds the Sepanggar parliamentary seat, the only victory out of 10 contests in the 2022 general election (GE15).
Its sole win yesterday came in Melalap through Jamawi Jaafar, who was previously in Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah prior to his unveiling as a PKR candidate two weeks ago.
PKR dropped one of its most prominent Sabahan leaders, Christina Liew, in favour of the younger Thonny Chee in the polls and it proved to be a costly decision as Chee failed to retain Api-Api for the party.
The party fielded no other major figure with Sabah PKR chief Mustapha Sakmud sitting out the polls, supposedly to focus on his duties as deputy higher education minister and Sepanggar MP.
A lot of attention had fallen on PKR fielding Yamani Hafez Musa, the son of Musa Aman, the Sabah governor and a former chief minister. Yamani ended up losing the contest in Sindumin to Warisan’s Yusri Pungut, albeit by just 362 votes.
The party had also gambled on another parachute candidate from GRS, George Hiew, but he lost by 676 votes to Warisan’s Alex Wong.
The results will undoubtedly lead to pressure on the party leadership as they prepare for the next general election which is due in 2027.
DAP wiped out in Sabah
DAP was left stunned after failing to retain any of the eight seats it had won in the last state polls.
The wipe out of the party’s big guns, including state DAP chief Phoong Jin Zhe, his deputy Chan Foong Hin, Sandakan MP Vivian Wong and two-term Kapayan assemblyman Jannie Lasimbang was most unexpected.
The party had headed into the polls appearing confident, having dominated in urban areas with a significant chunk of Chinese voters for several election cycles.
However, this time around, it lost most of its seats to Warisan, with Chinese votes significantly swinging toward the Shafie Apdal-led party.
DAP also suffered the impact of two former leaders, Frankie Poon and Liau Fui Fui, contesting under the Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat banner, as this is said to have split their votes and benefited Warisan in Elopura and Tanjong Papat.
Fellow PH ally Amanah endured similar fortunes, with its sole candidate failing to win in Sulabayan.
This means Amanah must continue to wait for its first ever seat in East Malaysia, as opposed to PAS, which won its first seat in Borneo yesterday.
In ‘do-or-die’ polls, Warisan shows it’s still a force to reckon with
Warisan retains its east coast bastions while making significant gains in urban seats, wiping out DAP in the process.

PETALING JAYA: Warisan may have failed to form the new Sabah government but the party made a formidable challenge in the state election yesterday.
The party held its ground in the east coast of Sabah and also made inroads on the west coast, winning a total of 25 seats.
This marked major gains for the local party spearheaded by former chief minister Shafie Apdal, after suffering from a spate of defections in the years that followed the 2020 state polls.
Warisan had performed disastrously when it went solo in the 2022 general election (GE15), winning just three parliamentary seats in Sabah compared with eight in 2018 (GE14), when it was allies with Pakatan Harapan.
Shafie comfortably retained his Senallang seat, while Warisan also held on to Silam, Merotai and Sebatik.
Warisan’s biggest achievements were its major inroads in urban, Chinese-majority seats, with the party having a major hand in booting DAP out of the Sabah state assembly by wresting Luyang, Likas, Sri Tanjong, Tanjong Papat, Elopura and Kapayan.
It also retained Tanjung Aru comfortably, with party veep Junz Wong winning with a 3,588-vote majority despite not having Pakatan Harapan’s backing this time around.
It however lost several key battlegrounds like Kunak, Petagas, Banggi and Moyog.
In 2018, Warisan won 21 of the 60 seats up for grabs and added two more in the 2020 state polls. For this election, the party went solo, contesting all 73 state seats.
Previously, Shafie said the party would not work with federal-based entities if it needed to partner up to form the state government after the polls.
Hundreds of Sabah poll candidates forfeit deposits after dire showing at the ballot box
A total of 389 contenders in the polls have lost their deposits, including two party presidents and a former federal minister, after failing to secure the minimum number of votes required
Updated 1 hour ago · Published on 30 Nov 2025 8:20AM
Candidates failed to secure the minimum number of votes required - November 30, 2025
NEARLY four hundred candidates in Sabah’s 17th General election have forfeited their deposits after failing to reach the threshold of one-eighth of the total votes cast, results show
Among the most prominent casualties are the President of Parti Impian Sabah (PIS), Michel Alok @ Ilok, and the President of Parti Rumpun Sabah (Rumpun), Ismail Idris. Both men fell well short of the minimum vote requirement and consequently lost their deposits.
Michel, who stood in Telupid, secured only 291 votes and was soundly defeated by the incumbent, Jonnybone Kurum of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), who amassed 3,868 votes in a nine-cornered fight. In Sebatik, Ismail fared even worse, collecting a mere 41 votes in a ten-way contest won by Warisan’s Manahing Tinggilani @ Tanggilani with 2,795 votes.
Former tourism, arts and culture minister Mohamaddin Ketapi also failed to retain his deposit. Standing as an independent candidate in Segama, he garnered 1,644 votes and was beaten by Warisan’s Muhammad Abdul Karim, who secured 7,325 votes.
Overall, PIS recorded the highest number of candidates losing their deposits, with 72 affected. They were followed by 60 independent candidates, while Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) and Perikatan Nasional saw 36 candidates each forfeit their deposits.
Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) recorded 30 candidates losing their deposits, Warisan 23, Pertubuhan Kinabalu Progresif Bersatu (Upko) 15, Barisan Nasional 12 and Pakatan Harapan two. - November 30, 2025
Election of 21 new faces shows voter shift in Sabah, says analyst
The victories showed that party loyalty alone was no longer the primary factor in securing voter support, according to a Universiti Malaysia Sabah academic.
Tham Yun Fook and Edna Jessica Majimbun were among 21 new Warisan candidates, while Hazem Mubarak was among five new GRS faces.
PETALING JAYA: Voters in Sabah have sent a clear signal for a shift in state leadership by electing 21 new faces to the state assembly, says a Universiti Malaysia Sabah academic.
Syahruddin Awang Ahmad said the success of the new candidates was “a rejection of the status quo” which signified that Sabah was stepping into a new political chapter shaped by current issues, whether they are grassroots demands or emerging national sentiments.
The victories showed that party loyalty alone was no longer the primary factor in securing voter support, Bernama quoted him as saying.
A notable success among the new candidates was that of Warisan’s Tham Yun Fook in Likas, when he defeated Sabah DAP chief Phoong Jin Zhe, who had moved from the Luyang seat to contest in Likas. Sabah DAP was wiped out when all its eight candidates were defeated, mainly by Warisan.
Another new face was Hazem Mubarak, son of Sabah governor Musa Aman, who wrested the Sungai Manila seat from Mokran Ingkat of BN, who was seeking re-election.
Warisan recorded the highest number of successful new candidates with 11, followed by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah with five, and Barisan Nasional with two, one new face from Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) and Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat as well as an independent candidate.
Warisan’s new faces:
Edna Jessica Majimbun (Inanam), Tham Yun Fook (Likas), Loi Kok Liang (Api-Api).
Samuel Wong (Luyang), Chin Tek Ming (Kapayan), Yusri Pungut (Sindumin).
Nurulalsah Hassan Alban (Sungai Sibuga), Wong Tshun Khee (Karamunting), Thien Ching Qiang (Tanjong Papat).
Muhammad Abdul Karim (Segama) and Mahahing Tinggalani@Tanggilani (Sebatik).
GRS new faces:
Saifuddin Pengiran Tahir (Pantai Manis), Hazem Mubarak Musa (Sungai Manila).
Shah Alfie Yahya (Tanjung Keramat), Syed Ahmad Syed Abas (Balung) and Andi Shamsureezal Mohd Sainal (Tanjung Batu).
BN and others:
Nik Mohd Nadzri Nik Zawawi (Liawan) and Anil Sandhu (Kunak) from BN; Ishak Ayub (Binkor) from STAR, and independent candidate Jordan Jude Ellron (Tulid), who is the son of former STAR deputy president Ellron Alfred Angin, a former state minister of youth and sports.

Loke, Gobind, step down from leadership to save DAP
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30, 2025: DAP’s new secretary-general and Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook says he takes responsible for the “duck egg” performance at the concluded 17th Sabah Election?

Or are responsibility and accountability no more in DAP’s dictionary after becoming part of the so-called Madani Unity Government (UG)?

TOTAL DAP WIPEOUT in SABAH
---------------------------------------------
DAP’s wipeout in Sabah tonight should serve as a wake-up call, Anthony Loke.
This is what happens when you talk down to local Sabah leaders and fail to respect the sentiments of East Malaysians. It is painfully clear that you neither understand nor appreciate the political heartbeat of Sabahans and Sarawakians.
Take this as friendly advice. I suggest you do not step foot in Sarawak to campaign for your party in the next election. If you do, the Sarawak DAP may suffer the same fate.

Saying that you will “take full responsibility” as DAP secretary-general after the party was wiped out in Sabah is simply not good enough. At moments like this, the honourable thing is not to make statements - it is to act.
Take UPKO president Ewon Benedick, for example. He was ready to resign as a federal minister on principle, despite recently being mocked by you. That is what accountability looks like.
So what about you, Anthony Loke? Would you even consider relinquishing a party post - let alone a cushy ministerial position? Or is holding on more important than living up to your own words?
If you’re not prepared to step aside, then your declaration of “taking responsibility” for your party’s total annihilation in the Sabah polls rings hollow.
It becomes a slogan, not a sacrifice - and certainly not leadership.

Why the growing political dismal of multi-racial Malaysians for PH
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30, 2025: The Coverage has posted a damning news analysis titled Why Non-Muslims in Sabah and Sarawak Don’t Need DAP – Nor Do They Need Anwar Ibrahim.
Are multi-Malaysians in West Malaysia asking the same question and are looking for alternatives?
Indeed the Taliban-like PAS and the racist Perikatan Nasional (of which PAS is a member) led by the unpatriotic Muhyiddin “I Am Malay First” Yassin are certainly not for multi-racial Malaysia.
Also, what about the racial and religious bigoted Umno youth chief Dr Akmal “Dr Ham/I am Malay First” Saleh’s Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) and its band of political lap dogs.
So, what are the choices of multi-racial Malaysians come the next general election that is due in 2027?

Why Non-Muslims in Sabah and Sarawak Don’t Need DAP – Nor Do They Need Anwar Ibrahim
30 November, 2025
Sabah and Sarawak are already living the real “Malaysia Madani” and the true “Malaysian Malaysia” that DAP and Anwar only talk about in speeches.
Beautiful words. Endless speeches. Countless tears on stage.
Yet when you cross the South China Sea, you discover something astonishing: the Malaysia that Anwar Ibrahim and DAP have been promising for decades already exists, quietly, practically, and sincerely, in Sabah and Sarawak.
And the best part? It was built without DAP’s sermons and without Anwar’s poetry.
1. Funding for Non-Muslim Houses of Worship
(Where sincerity beats slogans every time)
Federal Government 2025 (Anwar Ibrahim, 40+ DAP ministers, RM421 billion budget, 32 million people): → RM50 million for all non-Muslim places of worship nationwide That is RM1.56 per non-Muslim Malaysian.
Sabah 2025 (CM Hajiji Noor, population 3.8 million, state budget RM6.4 billion): → RM70 million this year, RM90 million next year More than the entire country combined, from a state labelled “poor.”
Sarawak 2024 (Premier Abang Johari, GPS government): → RM110 million in a single year 2.2 times what the federal government gives to 13 states + 3 federal territories put together.
They are not richer. They are just sincere.
Meanwhile, JAKIM gets RM2.6 billion every year from the same federal budget.
2. Chinese Education and UEC Recognition
(Promises vs Delivery)
Federal PH-DAP government (elected twice with 95–97 % Chinese support): → 15 years of promises, still zero official UEC recognition in 2025.
Sabah: → CM Hajiji Noor (GRS) and previous CM Shafie Apdal (Warisan) openly recognise UEC. → GRS is disbursing RM5 million special scholarship fund this year for UEC students.
Sarawak: → Full state recognition since GPS took power. → Additional millions in annual grants to Chinese independent schools.
Federal government for Chinese and mission schools nationwide (1,300+ schools): RM20 million. Sabah for its 9 Chinese primary schools alone: RM56.75 million. Sarawak for Chinese-aided schools alone: RM22 million and rising.
3. Colour-Blind Higher Education Aid
(No race quotas required)
Sarawak: → Bantuan Kewangan Khas (BKK): RM1,200 per year for every Sarawakian student in public universities, regardless of race or religion. → Yayasan Sarawak scholarships and even the China Ambassador Scholarship at UNIMAS are awarded on merit, nothing else.
Sabah: → Rapidly moving toward the same colour-blind policies under GRS.
Federal Malaysia: → RM6 billion every year to MARA, Yayasan Peneraju, and UiTM, institutions that non-Bumiputera students are constitutionally barred from entering.
4. Real Education Reform vs Lowering the Bar
Federal Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek (PKR, backed by DAP): → Abolished UPSR and PMR with no proper replacement, effectively lowering national standards.
Sarawak Premier Abang Johari: → Introduced a Cambridge-standard Dual Language Programme examination for ALL Year 6 students in the state, in partnership with Cambridge University, raising the bar for everyone, regardless of mother tongue.
5. Inclusivity in Everyday Public Space
Kuala Lumpur (DBKL, federal-aligned): → Actively removing Chinese-language signboards.
Sarawak: → Street signs in Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin, Iban, Bidayuh, and other native languages, proudly promoting tourism and genuine inclusivity.
6. What Leaders Actually Talk About
In Peninsular Malaysia, politicians and the public are still fighting over:
· KK Mart socks
· Halal trolleys
· Dress codes
· Vernacular-school existence
· Bon Odori “danger”
In Sabah and Sarawak, leaders talk about:
Digital infrastructure and high-income jobs
Carbon trading and green energy
Hydrogen economy
Attracting semiconductor and data-centre investments
World-class education
The Most Telling Statistic of All
In Sabah and Sarawak, Chinese votes are statistically almost irrelevant. The governments are overwhelmingly led by Muslim Bumiputera parties (GPS and GRS).
Yet these Muslim-majority state governments deliver more funding, more respect, and more dignity to non-Muslim communities than a federal government that owes its very survival to Chinese votes and has more than 40 DAP MPs.
They don’t do it for votes. They do it because it is the right thing to do.
The Borneo Reality
In Sabah and Sarawak today:
· A Muslim Chief Minister increases church and temple funding faster than any “multiracial” federal government ever has.
· A Kadazan, Iban, Chinese, or Malay child competes on pure merit, and any of them can win state scholarships.
· No one asks your race or religion before helping you.
· As long as you are Sabahan, you are taken care of.
· As long as you are Sarawakian, you are family.
That is the real Malaysia Madani. That is the true Malaysian Malaysia.
It is not a campaign rhetoric. It is everyday life on the island of Borneo.
So Why Do Non-Muslims in Sabah and Sarawak Still Need DAP?
They don’t.
And they certainly don’t need a Prime Minister who wants to be “Bapa Kemanusiaan Sedunia” while giving RM200 million of Malaysian taxpayer money overseas for headlines, yet only RM100 million to MITRA for the development of the Indian community at home.
Let Anwar keep his beautiful slogans and his international photo-ops. Let DAP keep promising the moon from opposition benches for another fifty years.
Sabah and Sarawak have stopped listening.
They are too busy living the Malaysia Madani, building a future where every citizen, regardless of race or religion, is treated as real anak, not as voting tools.
The rest of Malaysia is still stuck fighting over socks and signboards.
Borneo has moved on.
That is the Borneo way. And it works.
Thank You Sabah – You Just Saved Malaysia When the Peninsula Lost It” – The Future of Malaysia Now Rests in Borneo Hands
30 November, 2025
Thank You, Sabah. Thank You, Sabahan.
You have spoken. And Malaysia will never be the same again.
In the 17th Sabah State Election (PRN17), the people of Sabah delivered a verdict so clear, so decisive, and so thunderous that it has shaken the political foundations of the entire nation.
To Anwar Ibrahim, PKR, DAP, and Perikatan Nasional: Listen carefully. Sabah has rejected you. Completely. Categorically. Without mercy.
To PKR: The Party of Reformasi Died in Sabah
You preached anti-corruption, meritocracy, and multiculturalism for three decades. But when power came, you sidelined your own reformists like Rafizi Ramli to make way for Nurul Izzah Anwar — the ultimate symbol of nepotism.
Result? Out of 12 seats contested, PKR won exactly ONE — and even that victory came from a candidate imported from another party.
The “father-and-daughter” party has been exposed. Sabahans saw through the hypocrisy and buried you.
To DAP: Your Fixed Deposit Just Bounced
You lost ALL EIGHT seats you contested. Every single one. Even in Luyang — your traditional urban fortress once won by margins of 18,000 votes — Warisan crushed you by more than 6,000.
This is not just a defeat. This is humiliation.
You treated non-Malay voters in Sabah like your personal ATM — a guaranteed fixed deposit to be withdrawn every five years while giving nothing in return.
When it mattered most, you stayed silent. Passive. Cowardly.
Sarawak has recognised UEC. Hajiji Noor has promised recognition if GRS returns. Shafie Apdal has delivered it before.
Yet the federal government with more than 40 DAP ministers? Still deaf. Still dumb. Still zero action after 15 years of promises.
Today, the loudest defenders of Chinese education in Malaysia are Abang Johari, Hajiji Noor, and Shafie Apdal — none of them Chinese.
Let that sink in.
DAP is turning into MCA 2.0 — only with better branding and worse delivery.
To Perikatan Nasional: Sabah Muslims Rejected Your Taliban Politics
You contested 41 seats. You won ONE.
Sabah — a state with over 70% Muslim population — just delivered the most devastating rejection of religious extremism and racial politics in modern Malaysian history.
Your PAS candidates didn’t even dare whisper about banning alcohol, gambling, concerts, dress codes, or hudud. Why? Because even before polling day, they knew Sabah Muslims would never accept Semenanjung-style Talibanism.
Sabahan Muslims are moderate, tolerant, progressive, and proud. They do not weaponise Islam. They live it with grace.
Thank you, Sabah, for showing the nation what true Malaysian Islam looks like.
We Have Tried Everything from the Peninsula — Everything Has Failed
· We gave Barisan Nasional decades → 1MDB, kleptocracy, unimaginable corruption
· We gave Pakatan Harapan the “Malaysia Baharu” dream → broken promises, nepotism, Sam Sterling, surat sokongan culture
· We gave Perikatan Nasional a chance → green-wave extremism, racism, economic stagnation, “menantu lari” scandals
All three Peninsular experiments have collapsed in disgrace.
Two Malaysias, Two Futures
Peninsular Malaysia Obsessed with:
Imaginary enemies Victim mentality, tongkat culture, dengki politics, brain drain, cave mentality in the heart of KL
Moral policing
Dress codes
Jawi, khat, halal trolleys
Signboard languages
Sabah & Sarawak Talking about:
· Carbon trading
· Green hydrogen
· Semiconductor investments
· World-class education
· Merit-based scholarships
· English + Mandarin + native languages as assets, not threats Enlarging the pie so everyone eats
One side is fighting over socks. The other side is building the future.
The Future of Malaysia Now Rests in Borneo Hands
Sabah and Sarawak, You are the original peoples of this land. Your roots run deeper than anyone else’s. Long before others arrived, you were the guardians of this soil.
You have preserved the soul of Malaysia when the peninsula lost its way in racial poison and religious hysteria.
You are not just kingmakers anymore. You can be the architects of Malaysia’s rebirth.
The old slogan “Sabah for Sabahans, Sarawak for Sarawakians” served its time. It protected you. It awakened you.
Now it is time for the next chapter:
Borneo for Malaysia.
One day — and that day must come — our Prime Minister will come from Sabah or Sarawak. You have earned that right through maturity, unity, and vision.
When that day arrives, the entire nation will breathe a sigh of relief.
Because only Borneo still remembers what it truly means to be Malaysian.
Terima kasih, Sabah. Thank you, Sarawak. Thank you, Borneo.
You are our beacon. You are our last hope. You are our future.
Lead us. The rest of Malaysia is ready to follow.
