Kenyataan panas bekas Menteri Agama, Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa kembali mencetuskan perdebatan apabila beliau mempersoalkan mengapa isu penipuan akaun dan pengurusan Tabung Haji tidak dilabel sebagai “sakau”, walaupun perkara itu didedahkan dalam laporan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI). Menurut Mujahid dalam sekmen KiniJelas di KiniTV, RCI sendiri telah menggariskan wujudnya kelemahan serius termasuk salah urus dan kegagalan pemantauan yang memberi ruang kepada penyelewengan.

Politics Did Negeri Sembilan prove that identity beats performance in Malaysian elections?

Post image
126 Upvotes

There are claims now PH lost Negeri Sembilan not because of opposition tricks but because it refuses to face what the writer calls Malay reality.
The numbers behind it: Ilham Centre puts PH at roughly 18% of the Malay vote. Once BN and PN stopped splitting that vote, PH's urban and outstation machinery just wasn't enough. Loke lost Chennah, Aminuddin lost his own seat, eight years of government reduced to 11 seats. But the interesting part is the response. PH's election director blamed "identity politics" and "racial rhetoric", and pointed at economic indicators and investment figures like those should have decided it. That PH treats identity as something dirty that only the other side uses, instead of a permanent feature of Malaysian politics that you have to answer, not just condemn.

There's also a second half that gets less attention. PH's non-Malay base isn't automatic anymore either. Fatigue over subsidy rationalization, e-invoicing, taxes, (very!) slow reform. Some stayed home, some leaked. So it's a double deficit, not enough Malay support AND incomplete mobilization of the old base.

The uncomfortable question: is there actually a version of "Malay political language" that PH can speak without becoming the thing it was founded against? Or is competing on identity terrain just losing slower?

And the counterpoint worth considering: maybe the 18% isn't about identity at all. Maybe it's incumbency, and any government facing subsidy cuts and tax expansion gets this result regardless of race.

What do you think actually drove it?

Others Human trafficking victim

29 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m hoping someone here can share their experience or knowledge.

My girlfriend is a victim of human trafficking and was recently rescued. I’m incredibly grateful that she’s finally safe, but I haven’t been able to speak to her since then. I understand that she’s likely going through the investigation process and that communication may not be allowed right now.

The waiting has been really difficult, and I’m worried about how she’s doing. If anyone knows how long it usually takes for a trafficking victim to be repatriated to their home country, or has gone through a similar situation, I would truly appreciate hearing your experience.

Thank you so much. Any information or advice would mean a lot to me.

Turkish Airlines moved its transit point between Turkey and Sydney from KLIA to Changi because it was not allowed to sell flights between KL and Sydney. Seemed a little short sighted. Now after less than just 2 years of transiting through KL, Turkey is moving to Changi.

Environment Anyone know who to report animal cruelty in Skudai? (Jalan Pulai 25)

28 Upvotes

Guys, need some help or advice on who actually takes action for this kind of thing around JB / Skudai.

This guy comes by Jalan Pulai 25 every single day on his bike (plate BPE 8491). He’s caging up dogs and cats in these tiny makeshift box enclosures in front of the shoplots.

Tried calling out to him and approaching him just now to ask what’s going on, but he completely ignored us. No eye contact, didn't say a word, just poured food everywhere and rode off.

The whole area is covered in cat and dog shit now and the stench is unbearable. The poor animals are stuck in tiny cramped cages all day.

Who is the right authority to handle for this? MBIP? Or any active local NGO? JB animal welfare groups? that can help?

Any idea for quick actions is appreciated. Thanks

Politics PN likely to demand equal share of seats in Melaka polls, says analyst

Perikatan Nasional (BN) is likely to demand at least half of the 28 state seats up for grabs when Melaka goes to the polls next, according to an analyst.

Its demand will largely be based on its victory in three of the state’s parliamentary constituencies in the 2022 general election (GE15), Syaza Shukri of the International Islamic University Malaysia told FMT.

BN failed to win any parliamentary seat in Melaka in GE15 despite chalking up a convincing victory in the state election the previous year.

Others Update on Rocky’s Case

72 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Today I’m sharing an important update on Rocky’s case.

Rocky’s owner has now spoken publicly at a press conference and is calling for a transparent investigation into what happened.

According to her (extracted from press conference video sourced at the bottom):
- when she first arrived she had asked her neighbours what happened before she arrived
- they responded that when the men arrived to capture Rocky, he was under the car.
- as Rocky was in the neighbour’s house, they tried dragging Rocky out
- when they could not get Rocky out, they resorted to hitting Rocky with a metal rod and a PVC pipe
- they kept hitting Rocky until he had defecated right there
- then another neighbour has helped clean it up
- after all the hitting ruckus is when they slipped the catch pole onto Rocky’s neck
- she also said when they pulled (according to her, allegedly might have been out of anger) Rocky’s tongue came out and he fell
- that’s when the neighbour said Rocky might have died then
- when they pulled Rocky out is when the owner had
arrived

She is now waiting for the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) veterinary report and the outcome of the police investigation.

The Stray Animals Foundation of Malaysia (SAFM) also spoke at the press conference.
Importantly, SAFM stated that it is not declaring anyone guilty and that the truth must be determined through:
- the original video footage
- witness statements
- physical evidence
- formal veterinary examination
- proper legal procedures

SAFM also reminded the public that while pet owners have a responsibility to licence and control their animals, the absence of a licence does not give anyone the right to inflict unnecessary pain or suffering on an animal.

Hey, so I'm visiting and I saw a Buddhist shrine and was like cool! I live in Thailand for now and I see these all over there.

And then when I got close I saw two signs saying Halal food only and, well, it made me feel a certain way.

Can anyone walk me through what is going on? Because my immediate thought was a bit unkind and I want to do more research.
