COMMENT | Why do Muslim converts attack their ancestors' heritage? | Malaysiakini (opens the original)
Read excerpt
COMMENT | Ridhuan Tee Abdullah, the infamous Chinese Muslim convert, slammed Penang for declaring the Hungry Ghost festival as official state heritage because the wandering souls "could not be seen". "What's the real Malaysian identity?" he asked in his Facebook post on Sept 5, just five days before the Seventh Spooky Lunar Month ends. That was such a cheap shot against his own ancestors' culture. Perhaps the restless spirits can visit him to prove they are "real". But is belief based on physica
COMMENT | Rehab gambling addicts, not ban 4D shops | Malaysiakini (opens the original)
Read excerpt
COMMENT | PAS leaders like to score political points by banning four-digit betting (4D) shops – but it won't stop illegal or online gambling. If the “holy men” really care about people, they should rehabilitate gambling addicts – of all races – to cure the roots of the problem. The best example of why blunt bans fail is Kelantan itself. In the early 1990s, 4D shops were shut down by the PAS state government. But some 20 years later, in 2011, the media exposed that gambling and prostitution were
COMMENT | Solehah's Maga - Malays Are Great Always | Malaysiakini (opens the original)
Read excerpt
COMMENT | Is Professor Solehah Yaacob “salah” (wrong)? Her views of history are dubious, but many Malay comments online support her. Do they represent the majority? They seem like white Maga folks who love Donald Trump even though he keeps spouting dubious “Truth Social” messages. Many Malay netizens bashed the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) for sacking Solehah. One Amin S said - “Mereka takut fakta kegemilangan Melayu” (They are afraid of the glorious facts about the Malays).
COMMENT | Harapan's final kamikaze mission before losing | Malaysiakini (opens the original)
Read excerpt
COMMENT | The drama over DAP leaving or staying with the government (DAPxit or DAPstay) doesn’t really matter, because the BN-PAS Malay tsunami will probably sweep the next elections. That’s why Pakatan Harapan should go all out on a final kamikaze mission to deliver the real reforms they promised - because they have nothing to lose anyway. This would be a great “farewell gift” for a better Malaysia. Meanwhile at the PKR congress, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim defended his economic record, as he
COMMENT | Let Umno, PAS manage Tabung Haji | Malaysiakini (opens the original)
Read excerpt
COMMENT | "If you're explaining, you're losing" - Pakatan Harapan should learn this American phrase when handling the Tabung Haji fiasco. The late US president Ronald Reagan meant that justifying something with loads of details makes you look defensive and lose the battle to persuade voters. Indeed, explaining complex financial reports about Tabung Haji to village folk can never defeat simple slogans like “the Malays are under threat from DAP”. That's why the “master of mass Malay hypnosis”, Abd
