Bapa Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia’s first premier, read this “political evil” well and accurately.

Why the expired racist and corrupt politicians and their parties must be ‘politically exterminated’ via the ballots

KUALA LUMPUR, July 2, 2026: The 100-year-old plus Dr Mahathir Mohamad today deserves no credit from multi-racial-multi-religious Malaysians who treasure national unity and harmony.

It is only his own doing that he has destroyed whatever integrity and positive legacy in his political life.

Today at his advanced age, he still continues to use and apply divisive racial and religious politics to divide the rakyat dan negara (people and country).

No News Is Bad News had refrained from giving any space for this moronic political and evil creature but, since he has started trying to divide the rakyat dan negara during the polling season, we decided to remind Malaysians of this sick and racist creature.

An Open Letter to the Malaysian People: On Mahathir's Final Betrayal

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad recently urged Malays to vote only for their own race. He warned that failure to do so would mean losing "Tanah Melayu" and leaving Malays "a people without a country."
This is not a letter to him. He has spent seventy years in politics and has never once been persuaded by a critique he did not author himself. He is 100 years old, and he will not change.

This is a letter to you — the Malaysian voter, the citizen, the constitutional rights-holder because his words demand a response, and that response must be rooted not in emotion, but in the law, in history, and in the uncomfortable truth of his own record.

What He Said Breaks Faith with the Constitution

Let us be absolutely clear about what Mahathir has asked you to do. He has asked you to vote based solely on ethnicity, ignoring every other consideration: integrity, policy, competence, and the future of your children.

The Federal Constitution does not recognise this. Article 8 guarantees equality before the law and prohibits discrimination based on race in specified contexts. Article 119 defines voting qualifications by citizenship and residency not by the colour of your skin.

There is no constitutional provision that allows for an electorate segregated by race. There is no legal basis for a campaign that tells citizens they are less worthy of representation because of their ethnic background. Mahathir knows this. He was Prime Minister for twenty two years. He swore an oath to uphold this Constitution.

When he asks you to "vote for only Malays," he is asking you to tear up that social contract, not to defend it. He is weaponising the very document he once swore to protect.

A Law That Has Never Been Applied Consistently

We have watched for years as the Sedition Act 1948 has been used to silence students, journalists, and opposition politicians. It has been a blunt instrument of state control, often unfairly wielded against those who speak inconvenient truths.

Yet here is Mahathir, openly urging racial segregation in the political process, and we are expected to treat it as a statesman's warning?

Section 3 of the Sedition Act defines a "seditious tendency" as anything that promotes feelings of ill will and hostility between different races. Many lawyers would argue his statement sits squarely within that threshold — that it tells one community to close ranks against another, and frames the political process as a zero sum ethnic war.

If the law is to have any consistency at all, this speech deserves the same scrutiny as any other. The problem, of course, is that Malaysia's legal system has never been consistent when it comes to the powerful. Mahathir built that system. He dismantled judicial independence. He sacked Lord President Salleh Abas in 1988. He ensured that the law would bend to those in power. And now, in his final years, he is testing whether that system will bend to him one last time.

The Man Who Betrayed His Own Legacy

This is the most painful part of this moment. Mahathir is not some fringe extremist. He is the father of modern Malaysia's developmental state. He gave us the Proton car, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the Petronas Twin Towers — symbols of a nation that dared to dream beyond its colonial past.

But those achievements came at a cost. His 1970 book, The Malay Dilemma, attributed Malay economic struggles in part to hereditary and cultural factors including the practice of inbreeding and made grotesque racial generalisations about other communities. He ruled through the Internal Security Act, detaining political opponents without trial. He neutered the judiciary. He centralised power to an extent that left Malaysia's institutions hollowed out, dependent on the will of a single man.

When he returned to power in 2018 at age 92, he sold himself as a reformer. He stood with former enemies, promising institutional change, promising justice for the victims of 1MDB, promising a new Malaysia. And what did we get?

Within two years, his coalition collapsed. He resigned, triggering a political crisis. He allied with the very forces he had once opposed. He proved that his only consistent principle was his own ambition.

Now, stripped of power and relevance, he has reverted to the one language he knows best: fear. He tells Malays they are losing their country, even though they hold the Prime Ministership, the monarchy, the civil service, the armed forces, and the vast majority of political power. He tells them they are under threat, when the actual threat to Malay wellbeing is poverty, poor education, and a system of patronage that has enriched elites while leaving the poor behind.

What He Will Not Tell You

Mahathir will not tell you that Malaysia's real challenges have nothing to do with race.

He will not tell you about the brain drain — our brightest young people leaving for Singapore, Australia, and the UK because they cannot find meaningful work here.

He will not tell you about the crumbling public healthcare system, the stagnant wages, the rising cost of living, or the climate crisis that threatens our coasts and our food supply.

He will not tell you about the billions lost to corruption — many of which was facilitated by the very political structures he built.

He will not tell you that voting along racial lines does not put food on the table, does not educate a single child, does not build a single hospital, and does not create a single job.

He will not tell you this because he does not want you to think about solutions. He wants you to think about enemies. That is how he has always operated. Divide, distract, and dominate.

A Call to Malaysian Citizens

So here is what I ask of you, fellow Malaysians.

When you go to the voting booth, do not ask yourself what Mahathir would want. He is irrelevant. Ask yourself what your grandchildren would want. Ask yourself whether you want a Malaysia defined by fear or by possibility. Ask yourself whether you are voting for the past or for the future.

The Constitution belongs to all of us — not to one race, not to one religion, and not to one hundred year old man who cannot let go of power.

Vote for competence. Vote for integrity. Vote for leaders who will fix our schools, our hospitals, and our economy. Vote for leaders who see all Malaysians as equal partners in this nation's future.

And if that means rejecting the politics of race — rejecting Mahathir's politics — then so be it. Because the Malaysia he is offering you is not worth defending. It is a Malaysia of suspicion, division, and stagnation.

We deserve better.

We always have.

Yours in the spirit of Bangsa Malaysia,
