Who the PEOPLE choose is their right - but VOTE wisely after considering all RELEVANT Matters. BN was rejected because of corruption, 1MDB and an apparent 'protection of certain people'. PH voted in on promises of REFORM - but the U-Turn maybe a betrayal?
Another possibility - a 'check and balance' - NOT giving power at Federal and State level to the same party. So State Power to one, and Federal Power to another, and if we had LOCAL GOVERNMENT - then power to another. WHY? "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,"
After the JOHOR State Elections - Has the people already REJECTED Pakatan Harapan, or was this just a 'WARNING' that if there is no CHANGE, the people will REJECT Pakatan Harapan totally? Will Anwar resign as Finance Minister, so the PM SHALL NOT be Finance Minister? Will Anwar repeal the SEDITION Act and other draconian laws? Will Anwar restore Local Government Elections? OR will nothing change in Pakatan Harapan?
Is the only HOPE for PH the removal of Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister NOW? Is the ONLY HOPE for DAP to regain trust the removal of Anthony Loke and Nga Kor Ming, the withdrawal of support for Anwar to continue being the Prime Minister(any other from PH could replace Anwar as PM)
An EXCUSE that PH could not bring about promised REFORMS may be that it was because of BN, who threatened withdrawal from the MADANI coalition, will not be acceptable - after all, the BILLS could have been tabled - and, if BN and other MPs rejected it - then, at least Anwar and/or PH can say they TRIED but failed...
DISAPPOINTMENT with PM Anwar Ibrahim and this PH-led MADANI Coalition Government has been RISING....and the main reason was a perceived BETRAYAL or 'promises not kept' or U-TURNS'.
The people wanted a government, DIFFERENT from the BN government they removed in GE14(2018) - but now, all they SEE is just another 'UMNO-led BN' like government again - if that be the case, the thinking maybe 'why not return power to the ORIGINAL BN government itself? Why still support a neo-BN coalition or a BN-like PH led government?
People had GREAT EXPECTATIONS in PH - but that has maybe 'completely shattered' ever since Anwar Ibrahim became PM? This 'PROMISES NOT FULFILLED'(Janji Tidak DiTepati' is the main issue that many people now feel betrayed???
ARE Malaysians are waiting for a NEW political party/coalition - that is DIFFERENT from BN and PH that will bring about REFORMS and an alternative and better governance?
PH under PM Mahathir
Pakatan Harapan(DAP,PKR and Amanah) was that ALTERNATIVE and reform OPTION - and it remained so after GE14 under PM Mahathir > Positive was the investigations/charging/trials of Najib, Zahid Hamidi and many others previously seen as the 'above the law' class - so this change was POSITIVE...The tabling of the IPCMC Bill was also positive. Local Council Elections - a study undertaken with a promise that it may happen in 3 years. Positive was the adherence to the promise that PM will not also be the Finance Minister. Only disappointment of the PH 22 month rule was the failure of OTHER reforms like the repealing of BAD laws..(The 'early exit' was an acceptable excuse that PH needed more time???)
Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin said the local council election can be held in three years time. - NST, 26/5/2018
PH under PM Anwar Ibrahim
Then, after GE15, PH again managed to get the most MPs under Anwar Ibrahim > it looks like the people did not like Anwar > but still PH itself had the support of the people.
Then, the 'UNEXPECTED' happens when PH decided to form a coalition Government with its biggest enemy, the BN - worse PM Anwar makes Zahid Hamidi his Deputy Prime Minister. This brought unhappiness, but was acceptable because of the argument that since PN did not want to join PH in governance, there was NO OTHER CHOICE but BN if PH wanted to govern at the Federal Level.
Then, it changed for the worse - when PH-BN 'electoral pact' to face by-elections and other elections >> which saw PH politicians asking people to support BN candidates - What happened - did DAP/PKR/Amanah now saying 'FORGIVE and forget past crimes of BN politicians"? This was not acceptable to most PH supporters.
If Anwar and PH is NOW SAYING BN is OK - would that not be another BETRAYAL of Malaysians, who decided to KICK OUT BN - and to give Alternative and Reform promising PH a chance to govern?
Then, another major WRONG - PM Anwar decides to also be FINANCE Minister (worse DAP/Amanah and PKR politicians seems to be OK with this???) - the stand that the PM should also not be the Finance Minister was a principled position > not wanting the risk of a repeat of 1MDB like scandal in the future. If the Finance Minister was some other, the the PM is first 'barrier' to prevent a recurrence of 1MDB like situation again > in Malaysia, unclear whether CABINET approval is needed before any Minister acts with regard of NEW Policies or excessive spending decisions??
Then PM Anwar appoints HIS DAUGHTER > and again DAP/PKR/Amanah stays quite??? What people expected was an end of 'political appointments' and cronyism > but it was back again - and post GE15 PH seems OK with political appointments?? This is tied to the promise of OPEN TENDERS - an end of politically selected companies getting projects... This too suffered a HIT when Hannah Teoh's husband company was selected without an OPEN TENDER for a project in Selangor > selected from a list of companies the government decided on. People wanted OPEN TENDER - which means that all companies with the needed expertise gets a CHANCE. Now, there is also a doubt that there was NO OPEN TENDER in Selangor's Stadium Award?
Then PM Anwar moves to get Najib a ROYAL PARDON. Although, it is the King/Ruler that gives pardon - we all know that they have to act based on the advise of the PARDONS Board > and it is verily believed that members of the Pardon Board are determined by the government of the day > IF PH did not want Najib to be pardoned, Najib will unlikely be Pardoned. [King only, without the consent of the Pardons Board cannot pardon > seem obvious when the King only 'pardon order' that Najib be accorded to be 'house arrested' for the remaining of his prison term was dealt with??].
Then, how the case against Zahid Hamidi, and others formerly linked to BN was handled. DNAA??? On the Sabah mining scandal too - many politicians were named - but were they all been investigated? At the end of the day, only few have been charged????
WORSE, when Anwar's own underling and chosen political secretary was charged in court for corruption. There was also allegations against his former aide, Farhash. Bloomberg report which alleged that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had
interfered in Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)
investigations... that MACC was told not to investigate share purchases by Anwar’s former political secretary, Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak.(FMT, 21/8/2025) It was reported that the '...the Prime Minister’s Office[not PM Anwar himself] and MACC have denied Bloomberg’s claims...' Bloomberg, the 'whistle blower' gets investigated - but the allegations seems to have not been investigated. Most people would have expected that the allegations would have been first investigated... Then, Anwar too NEVER sued Bloomberg too??
Some started calling Anwar as the 'father of freedom of the CORRUPT... The failure of Anwar and his PH-led government was the failure of INDEPENDENT credible investigations which would have appeased some - but a practice of 'sweeping things under the carpet'
In Parliament too, a recent Star report disclosed a NEW bad trend where the government fails to answer questions directly and clearly in PARLIAMENT..' The Star’s analysis of the first 2026 Dewan Rakyat meeting from Jan 19
to March 3 found that at least one in nine written replies – 157 out of
1,354 – were flagged by MPs as being generic, deflective or failing to
directly address the questions asked.(Star, 15/6/2026)“Of late, this has become – you ask A, they answer B,”(Star, 15/6/2026)The quality of written parliamentary replies to MPs must be improved to
strengthen accountability and parliamentary oversight, analysts say. If we cannot get answers even from Ministers in Parliament - then major Problem - there is a failure of PARLIAMENT, Accountability and Transparency ...
YES, one thing about Anwar's MADANI government is when issues are raised, the response, unlike past governments, that will always say they will LOOK INTO IT - now does not even get such a response from this MADANI government. No explanations yet - NO WHITE PAPERS too. And if Cabinet sets up a SPECIAL committee or task force, people are not told the FINDINGS of such committee - SECRECY becomes the NORM??? For the GISBH crackdown and the FIFA Scandal, there should have been a WHITE PAPER a government explanation and official justification for actions taken, OR not taken.
Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission(IPCMC) - this was 'killed' by Anwar Ibrahim's MADANI government when the chose to put into force the The Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) Act. What should have been done was the re-tabling of the IPCMC Bill, that was tabled by the 1st PH government, that was in the process of being improved by Parliament when Sheraton Move happened, rather than putting into force the IPCC Act - The IPCC is CRAP - it was merely a 'SORTING' commission, who will send back the case back to the POLICE to investigate COMPARED to the IPCMC that would have INDEPENDENTLY investigated allegations against the POLICE and acted on it. {Again no significant protest from DAP/Amanah/ PKR???). Malaysia NEEDED an INDEPENDENT body to investigate complaints against the police - corruption, TORTURE, death in custody, extrajudicial killing even enforced disappearance - PEOPLE do not TRUST the police themselves investigating crimes when the criminal perpetrators are the police themselves.
Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) ACT, which officially came into force on July 1, 2023, after Anwar Ibrahim became Prime Minister. It
was a GREAT Disappointment, for one would have expected the new Anwar
Ibrahim's government would have not put into force that IPCC Act, but
caused it to be REPEALED and for the new IPCMC Bill to be tabled.
AZAM BAKI - there were 2 times allegations that Azam had more than RM100,000 shares, the amount then permissible for any Public Officer. TRUE OR NOT the allegations are still unresolved on the shareholdings. Of late, more allegations of 'corporate mafia' and also allegations that PM Anwar himself may have 'instructed' MACC to stop some investigations. Anwar, despite public protests, re-appointed Azam not once but twice??? {Here some PH politicians did express their protest including Anwar's daughter Nurul Izzah - but again no STRONG protest from DAP/Amanah or PKR).
AZAM BAKI's case highlighted a CONCERN - who should be picking the Chiefs and/or Commission of Law ENFORCEMENT bodies - or make the decision to remove them? Should it remain the Prime Minister, or should it be some other INDEPENDENT Commission, or even Parliament itself?
Now, the Prime Minister also 'picks' who will be the Attorney General/Public Prosecutor > and during Anwar's term of less than 4 years, we have already had 3 different AG/PP... There is NO SECURITY OF TENURE because AG/PP can be removed at any time.
JUDGES - since 2009, the Prime MINISTER cannot anymore pick or elevate JUDGES - it is now the Judicial Appointments Commissions that picks and recommends to the PM, who is bound to choose from JUST the JAC's recommended names. BUT, during Anwar's Premiership, DOUBTS arised as to whether PM ANWAR is not following the JAC's recommendation and picking his own Judges - TRUTH UNRESOLVED because proof of this NEEDS access to the JAC's minutes, or testimony of JAC members > BUT the law at present prevents this from happening - by reason of SECRECY and confidentiality requirements - which breaking this would mean conviction and a prison sentence. PM Anwar and the MADANI government could have made this NO MORE SECRET - but to date has not done so. So, did PM Anwar pick his own JUDGES - elevated his own choices to even the highest judicial office?
ALL in ALL, there is a concern whether this Prime Minister may have interfered with Malaysia's Administration of Criminal Justice or NOT.
“If there were a thousand such allegations, would I have to answer them all?"“Produce proof (if the claims are true). Otherwise, it will be a
breeding ground for slander. I have a lot of other work to do,” Star, 24/4/2026 .
That statement by Prime Minister raises CONCERNS - Is this the position of the MADANI government - does this mean also that LAW ENFORCEMENT will 'pick and choose' what to investigate? My position is that all allegations MUST be first investigated by Law Enforcement - if, and only if, the allegations are found to be TOTALLY FALSE and was made with a bad intention to 'DEFAME' - then only maybe investigate the reporter/maker of allegations. All allegations of wrongdoing/crime must be investigated independently by Law Enforcement as of right...People should NEVER be required to PROVE any allegation/suspicion of crime and wrongdoing > that is the duty of LAW enforcement. And as for the Prime Minister, it must be MANDATORY that he responds, not evade answering, allegations made...even if the PM says 'NOT TRUE' - law enforcement must still investigate independently...remember Najib(and his then AG) who stated no crime/wrongdoing > now proven to be LIES..
ANTI CORRUPTION - One important step taken was Public Asset Declarations(not to PM, MACC but to the Public). Public asset declaration for Members of Parliament(MPs) in Malaysia officially began in November 2018 under the Pakatan Harapan administration. In July 2019, The Dewan Rakyat passed a special, binding motion making asset declaration mandatory for all 222 MPs. NOW, when Anwar Ibrahim became Prime Minister, it STOPPED - the earlier excuse, was the development of a better format - but to date still no PUBLIC Asset Declarations??? PUBLIC Asset Declarations is to DETER MPs or Ministers from abusing their position/powers to WRONGFULLY enrich themselves or their family/friends - and reasonably there should at least be 2 - one, when they come into power, and then, subsequent declarations to PROVE that there is no wrongful enrichment be it by corruption/abuse of power/etc. The PUBLIC monitors and thus have the ability to EXPOSE any 'LIES' or non-declarations. Will the MADANI government bring this back? Naughtily, the current focus has been on PUBLIC officers asset declarations > and still NOT MPs/Senators/ADUNs, State or Federal Cabinet members... THUS, Public cannot anymore monitor and prevent wrongful enrichment??? Did such wrongful enrichment happen - look at Najib, possibly Zahid Hamidi(though we will not know for sure after case STOPPED after Prima Facie case proven???)
A criminal can be protected by COMPOUND OFFERS - if taken, investigation stopped, and NO Charges in Court. Other methods of 'protection' include decisions 'not to investigate'(NFA), or decisions to discontinue criminal cases.
Of late, Transport Minister Anthony LOKE (also head of DAP) decided to offer COMPOUNDS to the operators of the LRT for 2 LRT accidents, that also resulted in injuries and even 1 death > thus protecting the BUSINESS and the Business will NOT BE CHARGED and tries, and neither will any Director, Officer or related companies >> and the VICTIMS will not receive any Compensation which will follow after the criminals are convicted - the court can order the convicted to pay compensation to victims. {To date, no news of the victim passengers in the said LRTs being COMPENSATED...) Was JUSTICE served? Were the criminally liable, which will certainly not just be the Company but also the HUMAN persons involved be it by actions/omissions/negligence? One DIED - but nobody charged for MURDER when now car drivers who cause death are being charged - but not LRT operators or their officers/drivers??? Loke,
again a 'COMPOUND offer' rather than CHARGE in COURT? Is the Minister
'pro-Business' rather than prioritising PUBLIC safety when they use
PUBLIC Transport? A new 'PROTECTOR of CRIMINALS'? Have the VICTIMS yet
to be compensated?
TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY
What happened to the Petronas Gas Pipe Explosion > has anyone been charged?
What happened to those who tore down Orang Asli home - has anyone been charged?
What happened to the FIFA Scandal - has those who forged and produced false documents to FIFA been charged? ANOTHER issue was whether CITIZENSHIP was accorded to foreign football players in accordance to law > note in Malaysia, there are many still 'Stateless' when they should really be citizens. There is also the problem of FOREIGN SPOUSES.. so the issue of getting Permanent Resident Status and CITIZENSHIP is a issue of MAJOR CONCERN.
What happened to those who destroyed a Temple in Rawang - have they been charged yet?
What happened to those who made fun of a HINDU religious activity - why have the said individuals been charged yet?
What happened to OPEN TENDER promises - is it being practiced?
SEDITION ACT will be REPEALED, and so too other draconian laws were part of the PH promise - PM Anwar came out and did a U-turn saying that it will only be used for 3R issues - but even then, no amendment that would make it LEGAL it will only be used for 3R Issues. WAIT, there is already a law that amends the Sedition Act - Sedition (Amendment) Act 2015 that reflects Anwar's position - the As such, it can be put into force by the Minister, just like what was done for the IPCC Act, and Minister can pick and choose provisions to be put into force. But NOT DONE. Malaysia’s
decision not to repeal Sedition Act UNACCEPTABLE – Put in Force
Section 3(a)(i) and (ii) Sedition (Amendment) Act 2015, that already
received the King’s Assent on 28/5/2015, which is consistent with
present government position.
Under PM Anwar's led Pkatan Harapan led MADANI Coalition - it has become WORSE for Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Communication and also MEDIA Freedom. Even the right of Freedom of Peaceful Assembly was recently violated - Peaceful Assembly is a RIGHT No need police permission at all > YES, sometimes people are exercising that right for something we totally do not agree - but we must accept, it is their RIGHT. To say YES only for things we agree with, and NO for things we oppose is WRONG. Police DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION for Peaceful Assemblies - if someone(including Police) wants to, reasonably it maybe by a COURT Order - not a police decision. Will a future 'TURUN ANWAR' rally suffer the same fate because police decided 'not granting permission' - ABSURD. If acting on crimes committed during the peaceful assembly, it is OK But NO to preventing exercise of any peaceful assembly... This happened recently in PM Anwar's MADANI Government Rule - and DAP/PKR/Amanah did not speak out when this RIGHT was violated by the police????
Police are not granting permission for the Gerakan Anti Rumah Anutan
Haram (Garah) rally scheduled to be held at the Sogo shopping complex
tonight. Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said the
decision was made following security intelligence assessments and
feedback obtained from all relevant parties, including the owners of
premises in the surrounding area. He said the police received a
letter of protest yesterday from the management of Sogo Complex, Pertama
Complex, and Harissons, as well as other nearby premises, expressing
concerns over the safety of customers who would be shopping at the time. - Malay Mail, 7/2/2026
COST OF LIVING - The response by PM Anwar's Government has been PATHETIC and temporary - certainly NOT EMPOWERING... Rather than hand-outs, it would have been better if the solution empowered them to actually earn more by their efforts. BETTER if it was made a RIGHT in law, rather than a dependence on a 'temporary precarious' assistance that can anytime change based on the WILL of Prime Minister and Government - we already saw how fuel subsidies were suddenly reduced ...
a) Minimum Wage of RM1,700 - how can people live considering the RISE in Cost of Living. Ignored Bank Negara recommendation on how much people need to survive...also ignored the KWSP/EPF studies. Anyone knows that the Federal Government could have SET different Minimum Wage depending on employer capacity, regions, type of work (higher minimum wages for 3D work??),... but again the MADANI government set a 'too low' MINIMUM WAGE, and for ALL Employers, including them employers that do not make enough - stall owners, fresh market sellers, small rural shops, etc > hence, it may have also KILLED very small businesses of mostly B40 classes. WORSE, the Discrimination when a higher minimum wage for Public Officers at RM2,000, and an even higher minimum wage for some GLIC at RM3,000. HOW much did PM/Finance Minister Anwar discriminate the people on just the Minimum Wage issue. PM
Anwar Ibrahim:- 'foolish' praise (or 'self praise') for Khazanah(under
Finance Minister) for their RM3k MINIMUM WAGE - Minimum Wage RM3,000 for
all government companies, GLCs and government project holders - and
every worker in Malaysia?
In India, there is no single national minimum wage; instead, rates are set by individual states. Compensation is strictly classified by skill level (Unskilled, Semi-skilled, Skilled, Highly Skilled) and region/zone based on local cost of living. Workers also receive a Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA) adjusted for inflation.
In US, under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), small businesses with less than $500,000 in annual gross sales are often exempt from federal minimum wage requirements,
b) Financial Assistance through MyKad but ONLY in some shops? - Here the PH MADANI Government seriously impacted the small sundry shops > loss of customers because they had to go to SELECTED businesses to use the money government gave them??? SARA(STR)
KP/IC - Why is the Anwar Madani Government 'destroying' small sundy
shops? To use money, Malaysians have to go to certain shops and buy
certain brands - so leaving their usual shops?
LYNAS - The PH then was with the people opposing LYNAS - But recently the government approved a 10-year licence. The opposition to Lynas was based on health and environment concerns. At the forefront then was then MP Fuziah who now is the PKR Secretary General >> and Fuziah change?? Was the people living in the area closest consulted and allowed to give support or objections - OR did some 'political appointed' leaders of communities give OK without consulting the people?
UITM Issue - It was revealed that UITM admits and accepts foreign students. Thus, this means only Malaysian students who are non-Malay and non-native of Sabah and Sarawak that is denied entry to this PUBLIC University > A major CONTRADICTION. What the Anwar's government could have done was to allow Malaysian students who are non-Malay or non-native of Sabah/Sarawak access to UITM > even a 5-10% Quota would have been OK, OR alternative BAR foreign national students from entry into UITM? What is needed is a PROPER EXPLANATION so people will understand? WHY QUOTA need continue need to simply be EXPLAINED so people can understand...
Petronas Gas Pipeline EXPLOSION - no one has yet to be charged in Court? WORSE, even after realising the dangers of these PIPELINE - NO new laws to protect public safety - maybe 500 meters from the Pipeline Could have been 'safety buffer zone' - so no houses/commercial buildings or even public access > The VICTIMS should have been adequately compensated.
PH in Selangor emerging as an 'Islamic' extremist party > with recent Guidelines on Places of Worship - including no more use of commercial property, and the Guidelines about separating HALAL and NON-HALAL waste.. Separating waste is OK - like separating toxic/bio-hazards BUT why separate HALAL and NON-HALAL waste > soon, will have a separate sewage system for Muslim Households, and another for Non-Muslims?? ODD and dangerous policies???
PH also failed to ensure that the ERA FM employees was charged in court for their behaviour insulting a Hindu religious practice, even those who destroyed a Temple in Rawang may yet to be charged... the MADANI Mosque that forced a 100 year old to be relocated..
The 'increasing' suppression of Freedom of Expression, and our right to communicate with fellow Malaysians through use of social media > there has been an increase of CENSORSHIP - posts blocked, accounts closed ...and worse, this MADANI Government did not do it directly - because it asked App Owners to do what the government wants. THUS, the Victim whose post has been blocked or their account is closed simply do not that it was the MADANI government that did this. BEST if the 'victim'(alleged perpetrator) is informed of the government's intention to block post, accorded the right to be heard, and the right to challenge the government's action in court?
Since Nov 25 last year, several clips from the same meeting between
Tei and Sofia have been released, in which she agreed with Tei's claim
that he had showered Shamsul with RM630,000 worth of gifts and cash. She also named Anwar and MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki as being complicit
in a plan to secretly record more than a dozen Sabah ruling politicians
admitting to receiving bribes in exchange for mineral licences. In another instalment of the clip, she was heard saying that it was
Anwar who instructed Shamsul to issue a support letter in 2024
recommending six contractors for a government hospital project. Has there been investigations on the CONTENTS of said allegations YET???
Why is Anwar delaying the commencement of Yusoff Rawther's civil action claiming sexual abuse by Anwar - SUCH cases, in my OPINION, ought to be EXPEDITED - start and end TRIAL so Malaysians can know clearly whether our PM is a sexual abuser or NOT. But to date, Anwar seems to be trying his best to DELAY the starting odesf this TRIAL - and the more, he does so the more people are inclined to believe Yusoff Rawther ...
BARISAN NASIONAL - no need to talk much - it was CORRUPTION and ABUSE of POWER that led to its fall. NOW, no more just allegations - after the CONVICTION of Najib, Isa Samad, Prima Facie case proven against Zahid Hamidi .. UMNO after GE14 wanted to 'clean up' UMNO, maybe by removing the 'old guard' and replacing it with NEW blood that was CLEAN and TRUSTWORTHY - Unfortunately, that did not happen, and Zahid is still UMNO and BN President ... The peoples' anger against the BN was expressed in GE14 and BN was punished even more in GE15 >>> has the People FORGIVEN BN NOW - I doubt it, they may have, if UMNO leadership changed...
WAS PH also punished for BN's sins? Will other parties that accept support BN also be punished come next GE?
In my OPINION, if PAKATAN HARAPAN wants to retain peoples' support in GE16, then Anwar Ibrahim must STEP down, and we need a new PH leader and PRIME MINISTER.
For DAP, it's current leaders Anthony Loke and maybe also Nga Kor Ming need to step down - to be replaced by some other. DAP may also be honest and withdraw support from Anwar?? If that happens, there is some time for DAP to show its REPENTANCE for post GE15 actions/ommissions, and reasure that DAP is still for the people and will fight without 'fear or favour' for the people in matters of justice and human right... The LOSS or DECLINING SUPPORT for DAP is obvious after SABAH elections...and now the JOHOR elections - decades of work of DAP and its leaders are fast slipping away....
Nga, when he talked about
Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said victory for
Pakatan Harapan in the Johor election this Saturday would allow for
sweeping change in the state’s 123 Chinese new villages...“But if, on Saturday, we replace Jementah, and the entire Johor state
government is changed to Harapan, and all 123 village heads become DAP,
next year things will be very different. - Malaysiakini, 6/7/2026
Does DAP not understand that people want democratically elected rather that political appointees as head of Kampung Barus, Kampungs, Tamans... NGA is promising what - 'politically appointed' leadership? If he promised elections where people of kampung barus, kampungs can chose themselves who they want as their community leaders - he may have gotten support. BUT just new DAP/PKR/Amanah political appointees again? Nga was also 'racist' and non-Malaysian because he talked ONLY about kampung baru - not kampungs, Tamans, Kampung Orang Asli - is this what DAP has descended to - sounds less like a MALAYSIAN party more like an ethnic based party like MCA, MIC and UMNO who are ethnic based party, who membership is open to 1 ethnicity...
Most Malaysians accept all HUMAN BEINGS - and not simply based on ethnicity or religion. They know that people can be GOOD or BAD - and that thinking is right, as even politicians are charged irrespective of ethnicity for corruption, abuse of power and CRIMES.
JOHOR ELECTIONS - was it the people ensuring a 'check and balance' - NOT giving power to the SAME party both at Federal Level and State Level. If the Federal Government also have the State Government - the RISK of Federal Government 'dominance' over State Level too? An independent STATE GOVERNMENT may protect the people against Federal Government action/decision which may not be in the best interest of the State and its people? Over the years, many matters that used to be under the State and Local Government jurisdictions have been 'transferred' to companies/crony of the Federal Government - Grass-cutting and maintenance of parks - who has the contracts now? Garbage collections? Road repair and maintenance of roads under State or Local Government? This we need to look at more maybe... Was that why the previous BN regime preferred to have State and Federal Elections at the same time > the fear of peoples' check and balance rationalle > NOT wanting to give absolute power to the same both at FEDERAL and State Levels.
Is it also why the RESISTANCE to restore LOCAL GOVERNMENT elections and the continued practice of political appointment for kampung, kampung baru leadership - the fear that people may vote some other different from the one's that hold State power or Federal Power? The ROLE of Federal Government, State Government and Local Government is different ..and at all levels, people must have the RIGHT to vote in who they want at these different levels of government - hence people RULES and not political parties???
So, will that mean, that when it comes to GE16, the people of Johor may support some other than BN.
Another factor was that the previous JOHOR State Government did not issues of corruption, abuse of power or even mis-governance that may have affected the outcome.
People are COMPLEX - they are the ULTIMATE decision makers - but they should VOTE based on all considerations - not simply the ethnicity/religion of the candidate, or just the 'PROMISES' of parties without looking at track-records, etc..
BE SMART - CHOOSE WISELY ,,,
