Is Waytha Moorthy's civil suit to disqualify PMX's premiership a sheer publicity stunt?
WHEN starved of the oxygen of publicity, one tactic is to create some legal drama to capture the public's attention. The higher the defendant's profile, the better. Could this be the thinking behind the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF)/Malaysian Advancement Party founder P. Waytha Moorthy's civil suit that seeks to disqualify the premiership of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim? This is on grounds that the royal pardon granted to the PKR president in 2018 did not state that he was exempt from the five-year disqualification period for contesting an election after being released from prison. For context, the former minister in Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's cabinet from 2018 to 2020 has wanted the High Court to declare PMX's election as Tambun MP on Nov 19, 2022 and his appointment as Prime Minister five days later null and void. On X, governance advocate ksampoh@MyOwn Inc (@Ksampoh) gave a detailed explanation as to why Waytha's suit was doomed to fail, citing similar suits against disgraced former premiers Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Tun Dr Mahathir which were previously thrown out by the court. Claiming that it was all just 'political theatre', the self-described true patriot confidently predicts that the suit will not succeed as 'the Federal Constitution, statutory time limits and past court decisions all make it clear that your case won't survive the first procedural hurdle'. Dear Waytha Moorthy, This lawsuit to 'disqualify' Anwar as Tambun Wakil Rakyat & Prime Minister is legally dead on arrival -& I say that based on the Constitution, the law, & precedent, not politics. 1- The Constitution doesn't back it Articles 48 & 50 of the Federal… — ksampoh@MyOwn Inc (@ksampoh) August 12, 2025 Commenters on the post were no less scathing with a few seeing right though the charade. One contended that the rakyat are tired of all the smokescreen acts 'by the same line-up of lawyers' that are mere diversionary tactics. It was a calculated move to ride on the momentum of the Turun Anwar rally, claimed one commenter. Knowing full well that the suit is not valid, it was argued that the former unity minister during Dr Mahathir's second premiership stint was merely trying 'to score some points in the court of public opinion'. As a person with a legal background, one commentator accused Waytha of manipulating the judicial system to spin conspiracy theories by claiming that the 'Madani (administration) controls the judiciary'. He would not be surprised if many citizens would believe Waytha. A few condemned this being a waste of court time and resources. One commenter suggested that the suit be dismissed and the 59-year-old politician be left to shoulder all the cost of this frivolous action. It was also claimed this was a part of a concerted attack on PMX by opposition groups to weaken his grip on power. One commenter highlighted that this suit was only filed AFTER the lawyer had met with Bersatu representatives, an insinuation that this was calculated political manoeuvring. More pertinently, the timing of the suit was questioned. Why not when PMX won in the Port Dickson by-election in 2018? Such gaps in reasoning caused one commenter to denounce 'this HINDRAF man is just good for nothing'. Such spurious and superfluous suits to create mere political theatre are an abuse of the legal process. As pointed out by one commenter, Malaysians are 'tired' of the constant wayang kulit (theatrics) in the jostle for power and influence. One commenter simply urged such individuals to stop wasting the rakyat's time. – Aug 15, 2025

The incredible engineering marvel in China - What is stop India from becoming like this? 中国令人惊叹的工程奇迹，是什么使得印度成为不了这样的国家？ 以下是各国网友的评论： Jayaprasadk A large number of Social Media platforms in India are working for Chinese propaganda. Most of the time they are projecting AI videos and fake photos to project China 印度好多社交媒体平台都在帮中国搞宣传。他们大多时候都在放AI做的视频和假照片，吹捧中国。 True Indian Simple Answer, Some Chinese Agents like you, congress. You are blocking development through NGO. and courts ruling 简单说，像你这样的中国代理人，还有国大党。你们通过非政府组织和法院判决，阻碍印度这个国家发展。 Sab Changa Si The only talent you find in India today is how to be a bigger dumb bhakt. Engineering marvels are in other countries. Since 2014 it is engineering disasters. 如今在印度，人们唯一的'本事'就是比谁更蠢、更盲从。工程奇迹都在别的国家。2014年以后，净是些工程烂摊子。 kc41165 Indians are all busy at smearing China on internet. 印度人都忙着在网上抹黑中国。 AC7 Sorry to say but it's Tit for Tat move by Indians against Chinese racism and anti-india psyops. 抱歉，印度人这是报复，针对中国人的种族歧视和反印心理战。 adityareddy kovvuri we have the freedom of speech we have been misusing it ..that's shit that Chinese can't even put their thought government controls you 我们有言论*由，就是用错地方了，可中国人连想法都不能说，政府管着你们，这才糟透了。 Fast_and_curious Mujeet focus on your country.

And no accountability afterwards 合同金额里30%都被贪污了，进了官僚和政党的腰包。事后还没人负责。 ksampoh@MyOwn Inc As a non-citizen & investor in India, here's my blunt take-China's big projects impress the eye - but they're built fast because one party says so. Land is seized overnight, , debt buried under state books. India is a de ocracy. Messy, noisy, slow - but people's land rights matter, courts matter, local voices matter. It takes longer - but what's built has roots. China has ghost cities & half-empty malls. India's highways, metros, digital infra? They're packed, used daily, adding real value. And when people talk 'engineering marvels'? Look back- India's ancient temples, stepwells, & cities stand for a thousand years - built without cranes or AI. Many techniques still puzzle modern science. So here's the choice as an investor-Flashy towers or solid foundations?Debt traps or steady growth?One-party show or a billion people moving together?Slow? Absolutely. For me, India's not just building for the next headline - it's building for the next century. 作为一个在印度投资的外国人，我直言不讳地说—— 中国的大项目看着震撼，但建得快是因为一党说了算。土地一夜之间被征用，债务藏在国家账本里。 印度是皿煮国家。乱哄哄、吵吵闹闹、速度慢，但民众的土地权重要，法院重要，地方声音重要。花的时间长，但建起来的东西有根基。 中国很多商场空荡荡。印度的高速公路、地铁、数字基础设施？全是人，天天用，有实际价值。 说起'工程奇迹'？看看过去——印度的古寺庙、阶梯井、古城，屹立千年，没靠起重机和人工智能。好多技术至今让现代科学搞不懂。 所以作为投资者，选择很清楚——是要花哨的高楼，还是坚实的基础？ 是要债务陷阱，还是稳步增长？ 慢？确实。可持续？绝对。 对我来说，印度不只是为下一个头条建设，是为下一个世纪建设。 MangoMan "PEACEFOOLS" India builds, they break. Vande Bharat today, something else tomorrow. Same stones, same mindset. 印度建了又拆。今天建'致敬印度号'列车，明天又搞别的。换汤不换药，脑子没变。 MiddleClass Hindu Caste Religion (only for Muslims mostly) and gender based welfare and reservation 种姓、宗教，还有基于性别的福利和预留制度。 KARTIK CHAUDHARY China has national pride We on other hand are ready to fight for region religion caste - the priorities are different 中国有民族自豪感。 我们呢，却为地区、宗教、种姓打架—— 重点不一样。 Sushmita Mishra Btw which place in China is it located?

Could an old sod*my case explain PMX's reluctance to extend T. Maimun's service tenure?
IT has surfaced that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's hesitation to push for a six-month extension to the term of former chief justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat could be due to her initial involvement in the prosecution's appeal against his acquittal in his second sodomy case a dozen years ago. This was when the late Karpal Singh who was the Opposition leader's lead counsel had on Sept 17, 2013 applied to have Tengku Maimun recused from the panel hearing the appeal. This piece of information was shared on X by former Barisan Nasional (BN) strategic communication deputy director Datuk Eric See-To probably to insinuate PMX's reluctance to extend Tengku Maimun's service term which ended on Tuesday (July 1) upon her reaching the mandatory retirement age of 66. 'Karpal argued that the reason for the application was Tengku Maimun's previous involvement in a civil suit filed by Anwar against twice former premiere Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad back in 2007,' penned the pro-Datuk Seri Najib Razak blogger. In 2013, Anwar Ibrahim's lead counsel at the time, the late Karpal Singh, successfully applied to have Justice Tengku Maimun recused from the panel hearing the appeal in the Sodomy II case. Karpal argued that the reason for the application was Tengku Maimun's previous… — Eric SeeTo Lim Sian See (@LimSianSeeEric) July 2, 2025 'He pointed out that in her judgment for that case, Tengku Maimun had adopted findings suggesting that Anwar had a homosexual tendency. Henceforth, Karpal argued that it would be inappropriate for Tengku Maimun to preside over the case'. Following Karpel's submission, Tengku Maimun eventually recused herself from hearing the prosecutor's appeal 'which Anwar eventually lost'. Whether the past has any bearing on today's development is as good as anybody's guess. However, for the record, PMX has hit out at both the legal fraternity and Malaysians at large who rallied for Tengku Maimun's extension on ground of having rendered impeccable service for politicising the matter when an extension is never automatic. On her part, Tengku Maimun has accepted her retirement in good faith while justifying that extending her service a further six months 'is not significant at all' compared to her having completed her six-year tenure as Malaysia's first female chief justice. All-in-all, good governance advocate ksampoh@MyOwn Inc(@ksampoh) verified as true what was shared by the opposition-slant See-To who also goes by the moniker Lim Sian See. 'Now, he (PMX) says no extension for her as chief justice. Officially, it's about respecting retirement age. But fair question – does DSAI still carry a personal grudge from that old court history?' wondered ksampoh@MyOwn Inc. 'Only he knows – but history leaves marks.' – July 3, 2025

M'sians want globe-trotting PMX show solid fruits of economic exploits, not socmed rhetorics, pics
PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's latest three-nation tour has come under intense scrutiny amid recent expansion of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) scope and removal of subsidies which are poised to further escalate cost of living woes of man-on-the-street Malaysians. In tandem with widening trust deficit in PMX and his Madani government, detractors are demanding greater transparency from PMX's current week-long tour (July 1 to 7) of three major economic hubs, namely Italy, France and Brazil 'to bolster economic, trade and strategic ties'. 'YB DSAI flies to Italy, France and Rio de Janeiro in the name of multi-lateralism, AI (artificial intelligence) governance, climate action and lecture at the Sorbonne (University of Paris),' reacted netizen ksampoh@MyOwn Inc (@ksampoh) on one of a dozen or so (thus far) social media posts related to PMX's official tour. 'This diplomatic effort is indeed important – but the rakyat deserve to see real results, not just networking and speeches.' Towards this end, the good governance advocate posed the following questions to PMX: How many ringgit of investment have been successfully brought home (bearing in mind projected/pledged investment vs actual/realised investment)? How many new job opportunities have opened up for locals? How do bilateral trade relations translate into economic growth for the rakyat? How much FDI (foreign direct investment) has been realised from previous foreign visits? Where are the data as opposed to just photos? 'We're not rejecting international relations but diplomacy must be transparent, measurable and beneficial for the people. Global rhetoric is not enough if pockets of the rakyat remain depressed,' justified ksampoh@MyOwn Inc. 'Malaysia needs to remain respected on the world stage but the people want proof that every visit brings fair and inclusive returns in line with the shout of the Madani spirit. Professional diplomacy. Proven results. Not just photos. 🙏' Similar sentiments were also detected in other social media posts even though they were laced with sarcasm. That there are quarters who are sceptical about PMX's constant overseas trips are inevitable given there seems to be an imbalance between the billions in pledged investments claimed yet the Madani government is still pro-actively raising taxes (including electricity tariffs and soon to embark on RON95 subsidy rationalisation). Of immense concern is perhaps the contradiction between the claim of PMX who is also the Finance Minister that there has been RM20 bil drop in new debt over past three years when the latest fiscal and debt data released by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) show that federal government debt exceeded RM1.17 tril as of end-2023. 'This figure rose to RM1.63 tril in 2024 and remained high at RM1.25 tril as of 1Q 2025,' MCA Youth secretary-general Saw Yee Fung (a PhD holder in theoretical economics from the Perking University) pointed out recently. 'These numbers directly contradict PMX's claims and reveal a clear attempt to present a misleading version of the national debt status by selectively using statistics.' Well, should Malaysians be bracing for new taxes to come their way upon PMX's return amid the trumpeting that the Madani delegation has reaped billions in potential (NOT actual) investments? – July 3, 2025 Main image credit: Anwar Ibrahim/Facebook
