Anwar’s political dilemma with Umno

Share to help stimulate good governance, ensure future of people & M’sia

 Anwar’s ties with Umno will make it easier for former PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli to challenge and beat him (Anwar) anywhere in GE16?

Anwar’s political dilemma with Umno

KUALA LUMPUR, April 28, 2026: The Negri Sembilan political crisis must surely be the last straw for Pakatan Harapan (PH) chief Anwar Ibrahim.

If Anwar does not wake up and see Umno’s stabbing of PH in the back, then the 10th Prime Minister is likely to be dumped like a hot potato in the next general election (GE).

After some six decades (60 years) of rule under the Umno dominated Alliance-Barisan Nasional rule, multi-racial Malaysians have seen through Umno’s unethical, unprincipled and zero integrity politics of patronage and greed.

They have stopped believing that Umno is demi rakyat dan negara (for people and country).

Umno is demi the pockets of its elites, like its No. 1 national thief, former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak.

 

So, multi-racial Malaysians dumped Umno like a hot potato in  GE15, leaving it with only 26 MPs in a 222-seat Parliament!

But, Umno did not change nor learnt from its political folly of 60 years since Merdeka (Independence) 1957.

It continues to behave as if it is the supreme political force! All 26 Umno MPs must be dumped and render Umno politically irrelevant come GE16.

So, now what for Anwar?

The only way out for Anwar to regain the faith and trust of multi-racial Malaysians in PH is to dump Umno!

Sack all Umno politicians holding government positions and then call for a snap GE16.

If not, multi-racial Malaysians are expected to find another Reformasi leader (see above image).

Apa Lagi UMNO Mahu? Everything Given, Yet Greed & Khianat Never End – Sleeps with PH Today, Flirts with PN Tomorrow

28 April, 2026

 

UMNO is the living proof that some parties are simply irredeemable. Everything has been handed to them on a silver platter — yet their lust for power, positions, and patronage remains insatiable. Their greed knows no bounds, their arrogance is pathological, and their betrayal is as predictable as the sunrise.

Look at the facts:

In Perak, PH secured 24 seats while UMNO scraped together a pathetic 9. UMNO ended up with the Menteri Besar position through the PH-BN alliance. In Selangor, DAP — in their own stronghold — surrendered the safe Dusun Tua seat to UMNO for free, only to be repaid with ingratitude and flip-flopping statements later.

Federally, UMNO punches way above its weight. Out of 26 UMNO MPs, more than 14 received ministerial or deputy ministerial posts — the highest appointment ratio of any single party in the cabinet. They even secured the Deputy Prime Minister position. Hundreds of GLC directorships and thousands of ketua kampung positions nationwide were gifted to them. Zahid Hamidi received a DNAA on his corruption charges, and the LCS scandal investigations conveniently disappeared into thin air.

Apa lagi UMNO mahu?

In GE15, UMNO/BN recorded the lowest popular votes among the major coalitions: PH garnered around 5.93 million, PN about 4.70 million, while BN limped in with just 3.65 million. Even in Sabah, despite claiming over 622,000 members, UMNO only managed 144,584 votes in the state election — a humiliating disconnect showing that most “members” couldn’t be bothered to support them.

Current polls paint an even bleaker picture: Malay support for UMNO has plunged to around 24-28%, while non-Malay support is virtually non-existent (less than 1%). By every metric — seats, votes, popularity, organisational strength — UMNO is among the weakest major parties in Malaysia today. Yet they still strut around like they are the “abang besar”, entitled to rule by divine right.

This is classic UMNO: the more you feed them, the more they bite the hand that feeds. A normal dog shows lifelong gratitude after one meal. UMNO? You can give them the entire feast, and they will still stab you in the back the moment they smell a better deal.

In Negeri Sembilan, their 14 seats (actually 14 for BN in the state election, with PH contributing the rest to the alliance total) were not won through their own strength. PH and BN avoided three-cornered fights, allowing UMNO to ride on PH’s coat-tails to dethrone PN in those constituencies. PH helped deliver those victories. Now, after benefiting from the pact, UMNO wants to “tebuk atap” and flirt with PN. This is pure khianat mandat rakyat — a betrayal of the people’s trust.

Their behaviour is that of a political prostitute: sleeping with PH in the federal government and several states, while openly courting PN in Negeri Sembilan. No loyalty, no principles, only transactional lust for power.

But this ugly exposure is actually good for the rakyat.

For too long, PN and PH were busy fighting each other, allowing UMNO to operate under the radar, quietly hoarding positions and pretending to be reformed. Now their true colours are on full display — arrogant, ungrateful, treacherous, and power-hungry as ever. The mask has slipped completely.

The rakyat is rejecting UMNO not because of “misunderstandings”, but precisely because of this rotten culture, mentality, and attitude. When will they change? They won’t. They can’t. This is who they are.

It’s time for Malaysians to wake up and stay enlightened. Stop feeding the ungrateful dog that keeps biting you. UMNO’s decline is self-inflicted, and the faster the public recognises this incurable sickness, the healthier Malaysian politics will become.

Why a Hypothetical 100% Malay-Bumiputera Government Isn’t the End for Non-Malays – It’s the End of the Biggest Lie in Malaysian History

27 April, 2026

 

There’s a lot of buzz in town about the possibility of DAP pulling its support from the government. In this hypothetical scenario, PKR might join forces with UMNO, Bersatu, and PAS to form a 100% Malay-Bumiputera government. Certain groups are trying to stoke fear among the non-Malay community, but they fail to grasp the psychology of the modern generation. In the olden days, this tactic might have worked—the older generation believed we needed representatives from our own race in the cabinet to protect our interests. But today is a different era.

We’re willing to move beyond racial lines. Look at how we threw our support behind Warisan, led by a Malay Muslim, even at the expense of the dominant Chinese-led DAP. The same applies to Sarawak’s GPS under Abang Johari Openg, despite him being a Malay Muslim. We’ve even dethroned Chinese leaders like Ong Tee Keat in Pandan in favor of a Malay Muslim like Rafizi Ramli.

In Duyong, the non-Malay community backed Noor Helmy over candidates from their own race. And in Sabah, we’ve supported PAS’s Aliakbar.

The old myth that we need politicians of the same race to fight for our rights is just that—a myth. Especially when, as non-Bumiputera, we started with no special rights to begin with. What we truly need are leaders who will serve and treat us fairly, regardless of their race or religion.

Now, what about the ultra-Malay segments who might celebrate this as a victory? It’s an early, premature celebration by shallow-minded folks who don’t understand the laws of nature, politics, and human behavior. On the surface, it looks like a unified 100% Malay-Bumiputera government.

But dig deeper, and it’s actually Malay political parties restricting and counterbalancing each other’s growth.

What does that mean? If they unite, they’re forced to maintain the status quo, benefiting the current incumbents but stifling expansion.

Let’s break down the numbers: PAS holds 43 seats, UMNO 26, Bersatu 31, and PKR 31, totaling 131 seats. But only about 100 of those are truly secure (from UMNO, Bersatu, and PAS). Most of PKR’s seats are in urban mixed areas that rely on DAP’s core supporter base—they might not hold all of them. Even if all these parties combine, they might not dethrone DAP, not because DAP is invincible, but because its urban majority seats like Bukit Bintang, Cheras, and Kepong are rock-solid. Even if all Bumiputera votes consolidate, they couldn’t overtake DAP in those areas.

As the Chinese proverb goes: “One mountain can have only one tiger.” On the surface, it’s a 100% Bumiputera government, but behind the scenes, you’re putting tigers like Anwar, Mahathir, Muhyiddin, Hadi, and Zahid in the same arena. It’s only a matter of time before they start clashing and eliminating each other. Some might ask what I mean by Malay parties restricting one another. If the status quo remains unchallenged, it prevents UMNO from returning to its former glory—they’ll be stuck at 26 seats. It halts PAS’s “green wave,” leaving them at 43 seats. This creates a stalemate and stagnation for all Malay-Bumiputera parties. How can they grow when they can’t contest against each other?

PAS also can’t push its Islamic agenda to turn the country into an Islamic state. It’s a myth that only non-Malays oppose this—the UMNO, PKR, and Bersatu Malays have different DNA, psychology, and worldviews from PAS. If UMNO wanted an Islamic state, they could have done it during their heyday with a two-thirds majority as Malaysia’s largest undisputed party.

What PAS fails to understand is that not all Malays share their religious views on politics and administration.

Sooner or later, these parties will try to dominate one another. Each will plot to become the No. 1 Malay party. If Hamzah and Muhyiddin can fight within the same party, why is it abnormal for rival parties to scheme for ultimate dominance?

For stability, they’ll need the 56 MPs from Borneo. If they abandon this block, it’s risky—the 56 could align with DAP’s solid 40 seats and Amanah’s 8 to form a new government anytime. With 56 from Borneo versus PAS’s 43, Bersatu’s 31, PKR’s 31, and UMNO’s 26, Borneo becomes the kingmaker in this coalition. The moderates and progressives will call the shots.

This is what true Bumiputera check-and-balance looks like: parties counter-influencing and restricting each other. PAS won’t be able to ban alcohol, not because of DAP or non-Malay MPs, but because the Borneo Bumiputera won’t allow it—doing so would collapse GPS in Sarawak. That’s why a PAS candidate in Sabah even lodged a report denying plans to ban alcohol.

Not only is this their ceiling since they can’t contest each other, but it also limits their growth and puts everything in stalemate.

Yet UMNO won’t stay silent for long—their entire DNA is rooted in feudal elitism and a dominance mindset. They can’t accept being the smallest Malay party at just 26 seats.

And since non-Bumiputera are out of the government, those seats are no longer a conflict of interest. Non-Bumiputera will no longer be the election scapegoat, punching bag, or weaponized issue.

By then, it’ll be Bumiputera versus Bumiputera, outcompeting each other: left vs. right, conservative vs. progressive, religion-ahead-of-race vs. race-ahead-of-religion, B40 vs. M40 and T20, and the list goes on.

Even if this scenario doesn’t unfold today, it will eventually—perhaps 50 years from now, when the non-Bumiputera population shrinks to just 15% and becomes irrelevant in the voting arena. It’ll still be Bumiputera vs. Bumiputera, driven by the laws of human nature, politics, greed, dominance, power, and money.

As for PKR? There’s nothing to celebrate. Their 31 mixed urban seats are the most fragile and vulnerable in this combo, likely making them the smallest party in the Bumiputera coalition. It’ll also mark the end of any future prime minister from PKR. With non-Bumiputera out of the equation, whoever rises to the top in each Bumiputera party automatically wins big.

So, each party will see fierce internal killings to climb the ladder—just like UMNO in its glory days, or what’s happening in Bersatu now.

Everyone fighting for positions, candidacies, and more, because internal victory means a shot at PM. It’ll create a Game of Thrones among the Bumiputera parties.

And it won’t stop at the top. Once the non-Malays are no longer in the cabinet or government, the real war will begin over every single slice of the pie:

· which party controls which GLCs and their multi-billion-ringgit empires,

· who gets the powerful minister portfolios,

· who heads the government agencies, statutory bodies, and regulators,

· all the way down to who becomes Ketua Kampung, penghulu, JKKK chairs, and every small contract and perk that comes with it.

There are only a limited number of chairs at the table. Not every ambitious MP, division chief, exco member, or warlord can be satisfied. When the “enemy” (non-Malays) is removed from the equation, the knives will turn inward even faster—pure Bumiputera musical chairs with real money, real power, and real blood.

What do non-Bumiputera have to lose? We already have nothing to begin with, always relying on ourselves. Even having our own race in the cabinet changes little—we’re still blamed and used as punching bags by aspiring politicians and parties. DAP pulling out won’t impact millions of non-Bumi; just a few will lose positions. In fact, it might finally shift the entire political conversation from “Bumi vs non-Bumi” to “Bumi vs Bumi” fighting to dominate and devour each other. Game of Thrones Season 1 among them will begin eventually. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

And Here’s the Biggest Silver Lining Most People Miss

When the non-Malays are completely out of the government, the real true colours of Malay politicians will finally be exposed – not to us, but to their own community.

For decades, the narrative has been drilled into the Malay heartland: “Melayu terancam! Islam terancam! The Chinese are the root of your poverty!” They were told the enemy is the non-Malays – that if only we remove the non-Malays, everything will be fair, just, and prosperous for the Malays.

But the moment a 100% Bumiputera government is formed, that entire lie collapses in plain sight.

The ordinary kampung folk, the B40 Malays, the PAS supporters, the Perikatan die-hards – they will finally see with their own eyes:

· The rich and elite Malays will keep getting richer.

· The poor Malays will stay poor, or get even poorer.

· Government projects, contracts, GLCs, and billions in wealth will still flow to the same handful of elite Malay families, cronies, and political warlords – just like before.

· Their own leaders will stop fighting for them. Why? Because there is no longer a “non-Malay enemy” to rally against. No more “Cina yang halang kita!” to shout from the stages. When the votes are already 100% locked in, what slogan is left? The campaign fire will die overnight.

Sooner or later, the realisation will hit like a thunderbolt: “Rupa-rupanya selama ini kita dipergunakan sahaja. Kita dijadikan senjata untuk lawan orang bukan Melayu, supaya segelintir ahli politik Melayu boleh naik kuasa dan kaya raya untuk diri dan keluarga mereka sendiri.

Rupa-rupanya ini bukan perjuangan bangsa dan agama – ini perjuangan pangkat, jawatan, wang, dan kemewahan peribadi.”

Even the most hardcore PAS supporters will wake up: “Rupa-rupanya 100% kerajaan Melayu-Bumiputera pun hudud tak dapat, negara Islam pun tak jadi. Sebelum ini kita ingat orang bukan Melayu yang halang – rupanya bukan!”

That moment of mass awakening among the Malay grassroots will be the most powerful, most irreversible change of all. The spell will be broken forever.

And that, ironically, might be the greatest gift a DAP withdrawal could ever give to this country – forcing the Malay community to finally see their real oppressors have never been the non-Malays sitting in Putrajaya. The real oppressors have always been wearing the same songkok and speaking the same language as them.

Let the 100% Bumiputera government come if it must. The faster it comes, the faster the lies die, and the faster a new, class-based, fairness-based politics can be born – for all Malaysians, regardless of race or religion.

What do non-Bumiputera have to lose? Nothing. We never had the privilege to begin with. But Malaysia as a whole might finally gain something priceless: the truth.

But for the country as a whole, it might finally deliver something priceless: the complete and total death of the oldest political scam in Malaysia.

A 100% Malay-Bumiputera Government is not the end for non-Malays. It will be the end of the lies, the stigma, the conspiracy theories, and the slander that Malay politicians have been selling for decades: that the Chinese are the cause of Malay poverty, that the non-Malays are the ones blocking Malay rights and Islam, that everything will be paradise “once we get rid of them”.

When that paradise fails to appear, when the same elites keep the billions and the kampung keeps the crumbs, when hudud still doesn’t come and the poor still stay poor, the Malay grassroots will finally see the truth with their own eyes.

The spell will be broken forever. The greatest era of racial fearmongering in Malaysian history will finally come to its natural, humiliating end.

So let them have their 100% Malay-Bumiputera Government if they want it so badly. It won’t destroy the non-Malays. It will destroy the biggest lie they’ve been feeding their own people for seventy years.

And that, more than anything else, will set everyone free.

One More Thing the Fearmongers Conveniently Forget

They keep shouting “If DAP leaves, the Malays will finally be united under one strong Bumiputera government!”

Really?

DAP can’t even sit at the same table with MCA and MIC for five minutes without fighting over Chinese schools, UEC, or vernacular education – and that’s within the same race.

Yet somehow we’re supposed to believe UMNO, PKR, Bersatu, and PAS – four parties that hate each other’s guts, that have spent the last 10 years accusing one another of betrayal, corruption, heresy, and selling out the Malays – will suddenly hold hands and sing Kumbaya forever just because DAP is gone?

Please.

UMNO calls PAS kafir harbi in private. PAS calls UMNO munafik and sekular. Bersatu calls UMNO kleptokrat and PKR liberal. PKR calls Bersatu pengkhianat and PAS taliban. They needed court cluster cases, sheraton moves, and backdoor governments just to tolerate each other for a few months.

Itu bukan perpaduan ummah. Itu perpaduan sementara elit-elit Melayu yang nak sakau habis-habisan atas nama Melayu dan Islam.

The moment the common enemy (non-Malays) is removed, the gloves come off even faster. The looting will still happen, but now there’s no one else to blame.

So let them have their so-called “100% Melayu” government if they want it so badly. It won’t destroy the non-Malays. It will destroy the biggest lie they’ve been feeding their own people for seventy years.

And from the ashes of that lie, maybe – just maybe – a better, fairer, and less hypocritical Malaysia can finally rise.
