Marina won skudai with a 13,943 vote majority. Losing a seat is one thing. Losing a credible voice is another!!! A party that speaks of inclusivity should be careful not to make diversity look temporary!!! Representation is easy to showcase. Retention is the real test!!!

PETALING JAYA: DAP’s already fragile standing among the Malay electorate has suffered yet another blow following the debacle involving outgoing Skudai assemblyman Marina Ibrahim, political analysts said.
The Asia Group associate vice-president Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani and James Chin of the University of Tasmania said the issue only reinforced the perception that DAP’s Malay leaders and elected representatives—even popular figures like Marina—merely make up the supporting cast in the Chinese-dominated party.
Chin said the DAP has already been painted by rivals as being anti-Malay and anti-Islam. The perception of trying to push Marina out of Skudai would not help the party’s cause, he added.

“It will affect their standing among potential Malay supporters, who may see this as an example that confirms that DAP bullies the Malays within its own party,” he said, noting that Marina was one of its few elected representatives.

According to Chin, the rotation of DAP candidates is a common tactic the party employs to broaden its influence, using well-known figures to strengthen support beyond traditional bases and capture seats from rivals. However, he claimed that, by convention, such moves typically occur when elected representatives themselves offer to venture beyond their constituencies, rather than being forcibly moved out.

“In this case, it’s clear Marina was pushed out and has decided to rebel against the leadership (by quitting politics as a whole). It looks like she said no and the leadership kept pressuring her (to run in Tiram).”

The group includes MPs Syahredzan Johan (Bangi), Young Syefura Othman (Bentong) and Syerleena Abdul Rashid (Bukit Bendera). It also contains four assemblymen: Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji (Tras), Zairil Khir Johari (Tanjong Bunga), Aziz Bari (Tebing Tinggi) and Jamaliah Jamaluddin (Bandar Utama). A first-term assemblyman for Skudai, Marina was elected in 2022, winning the Chinese-majority seat with a 13,943-vote majority. On Sunday, she announced she was leaving politics to return to community work.

Policies reveal priorities. If a guideline needs to be withdrawn because it overlooked religious sensitivities the bigger question is how it passed in the first place!!! In a diverse society, fairness should be measured in rules, not reassurances!!!

The son of inmate Gan Chin Eng, who died after allegedly being beaten by prison officers at Taiping Prison, has described a damning inquiry report by Suhakam as only the beginning of the next step.

The 20-year-old dentistry student, who requested anonymity, said he has yet to find closure and that his family remained devastated by the death of his father, 62, on Jan 17 last year.

“We are already at a low point following my father’s death. It can’t go lower than this,” he was quoted as saying by online portal TwentyTwo13.

Defending truth sounds noble until it comes from a government under which msia fell to 107th in the World Press Freedom Index!! Hard to preach media integrity while managing narratives by intimidation!!!

[Fahmi Fadzil 🇲🇾 @fahmi_fadzil]

Ketika fitnah boleh tersebar dalam sekelip mata dan persepsi sering mengatasi realiti, wartawan berdiri di barisan hadapan sebagai benteng yang mempertahankan integriti maklumat.

Peranan wartawan tidak terbatas kepada mencatat peristiwa semata-mata. Mereka juga menjadi antara suara penting yang menegakkan kebenaran ketika masyarakat berdepan kekeliruan dan spekulasi.

Setiap berita yang disampaikan memerlukan penelitian, pengesahan dan rasa tanggungjawab yang tinggi, kerana kepercayaan masyarakat bukan sesuatu yang boleh diperoleh dengan mudah, tetapi lahir daripada kejujuran, ketelusan dan kesungguhan yang konsisten.

Apabila integriti dijadikan pegangan, dan kebenaran menjadi keutamaan, wartawan akan terus berdiri sebagai benteng maklumat yang sahih, kerana pada akhirnya, kewartawanan bukan hanya tentang menyampaikan berita, tetapi tentang memelihara amanah dan mempertahankan kepercayaan.

Selamat Hari Wartawan Nasional.

Msia talks energy transition yet gas fired power jumped 50.5% in a year to feed heatwaves & data centres!!! Demand rose 11.5% but so did dependence on fossil fuels!!! Hard to call it a transition when every surge in demand pulls us deeper into the same old addiction!!!

[BFM News @NewsBFM]

Malaysia is ramping up gas-fired power generation to meet electricity demand driven by hotter weather and the rapid expansion of data centres, Reuters reports.

Gas-fired output in Peninsular Malaysia surged at its fastest pace since at least 2018 to a record 5.54 terawatt-hours in April, while coal-fired generation fell sharply as the country reduced reliance on imported coal.

🔥 CHINESE ARROGANCE STRIKES AGAIN on AirAsia!

A Chinese tourist buys two bottles of mineral water for RM8 on an AirAsia flight to Malaysia. He pays with ¥100 RMB.

The crew politely gives him RM44 change.
Instead of thanking them, he gets angry and demands: “Why only RM44?! It should be RM92!”

He actually thought RMB and Malaysian Ringgit are 1:1. Then he takes out his phone and records a video, acting like he caught AirAsia scamming him.

Zero research. Zero respect. Pure entitlement.

Reality: ¥100 RMB is only worth around RM60+. The crew gave him the correct change.

This is the typical “Ugly Chinese Tourist” behavior — no humility, no preparation, just arrogance and demands when other countries don’t follow China’s rules.

Moral of the story: Some Chinese travelers still treat foreign countries like their own backyard with zero respect for local currency or customs.

Educate yourselves before traveling.
