Muhyiddin Yassin, the current prime minister of Malaysia, is famous for buying support among the members of parliament to prop up his backdoor government. He did not win the election to legitimately form a government. He succeeded in forming the government by buying support of parliamentarians with money and benefits in kind while his own party is smaller than other political parties in his informal coalition, Perikatan Nasional (PN). In local colloquial jargon, these members of parliament are known as frogs for hopping and switching their support. Muhyiddin's government was formed by apparently only the support of 112 out of a total of 222 parliamentarians.

According to Nur Jazlan, the outspoken leader of UMNO party which is one of the coalition party within PN, Muhyiddin is still going around buying support from members of parliament to secure his position as the prime minister to date.

For those members of parliament who are willing to support Muhyiddin, it is clear that their motivation is not for the well-being of the country but for their own flow of cash and monetary benefits. When a political party is driven by cash flow and profit, it should be known as business entity which is rightfully motivated by cash flow or profit. Its leaders and members should be known as businessmen and not politician. 

You can see the grey area is so huge in Malaysia. Business and politics are all for cash flow and profit. Poor Malaysians who voted for these politicians. Literally, these Malaysians will just get poorer over time.

Believe It or Not? Only in Malaysia

Crime is only a crime if you get caught!

It is henceforth not against the laws to commit a crime, unless and until you are caught.

The words of wisdom from the honourable peoples' representative in Malaysia. You can imagine how low his ethical values are, if any.

Can you trust that your safety is in good hands when you visit Malaysia?

Remember his face k... You will want to stay far away from him if you wish to visit Malaysia. 

The End of the Legendary Mahathir ?

Mahathir Mohamad has been a political master in Malaysia for over half a century. What he managed to do in Malaysia is not an easy feat. You can see some of the major achievements below:

• The longest ruling prime minister in Malaysia for 24 years; 22 years in his 1st term and 2 years in his 2nd term.
• Mahathir handed over his 1st prime ministership to Abdullah Badawi in 2003. He then worked to depose him as early as 2005.
• Mahathir helped Najib Razak in the latter's quest to replace Abdullah. Najib succeeded in 2009.
• He however started to criticize Najib in 2014. Mahathir even worked with the opposition to throw Najib out during the Malaysian general election in 2018.
• He became for prime minister of Malaysia for the 2nd time in 2018.
• As the prime minister again, he did not deliver what he had promised during the campaign.
• Instead, he plotted to weaken of his political allies within the government. He did not want consensus ruling and tried to revert to his autocratic ways during his 1st term.
• He mooted for a unity government whereby all the political parties are to support him as the prime minister. He was however outmaneuvered by his closes deputies, Muhyiddin Yassin and Azmin Ali. Muhyiddin became the prime minister in 2020 while Azmin became the de factor deputy prime minister.
• Mahathir once again is working to oust Muhyiddin with the aim to be the 3rd time prime minister of Malaysia.

The man who yielded the opportunity to be prime minister the last time, Anwar Ibrahim, has decided not to work with Mahathir anymore. Anwar is leading the largest opposition party currently. There was a lack of fate in Mahathir within the ranks in the opposition. The marriage of convenience did not work well when Mahathir was constantly trying to stab at his own truly loyal allies from behind. It is perhaps fated that Mahathir himself is back-stabbed by Muhyiddin.

The question is whether Mahathir is still a force to be reckoned with at his age of 95? He has now failed to garner the support of all opposition parties to nominate him as the prime minister. Muhyiddin and the rulling government do not need him. Mahathir has certainly not lost his cunning political skills after looking at the last few tactics that he employed to propel himself to be the next prime minister, although he has not been successful. He is launching a no-confidence vote against Muhyiddin when the parliament convenes the following week. It is yet to be seen if he is willing to make a compromise and find his way back to the forefront of political power.

Return of Dark Ages ?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present the prime minister of Malaysia!

This is one man who thinks vote buying, by offering money or benefits in kind, is smart. Money in politics is part of the scheme of things to advance his plan, that is to be the prime minister.

To top up his money in politics, he adopts deceit, backstabbing, betrayal and many more.

Lies and Fraud? Well, they are probably just part of his scheme of things. It's no big deal to him.

Hi Malaysians! 

Do you seriously want him to be your prime minister?

You allow him to rule you and your country at your great perils!


You can see that he has followed through what he had said in the above video. He has used cabinet posts, appointments in governmental agencies, statutory bodies and companies controlled by government as rewards to those who support him.

Predictably, you can see the international news headlines about him.

Few in Malaysia dare to speak up against the abuses by Muhyiddin for fear of persecution against them which was tactics used by rampantly used during the dark ages of Malaysia when Barisan Nasional was in power. Muhyiddin was once part of Barisan Nasional.

Malaysian Logic - Comedian or Politician ?

Malaysia is a small country in southeast Asia that has not failed to mass-produce capable comedians. The beautiful part of Malaysian comedians is that many of them end up as leaders of the country.  Read this to see more examples. This trend is especially apparent since March 2020 when Muhyiddin Yassin and gang succeeded in forming a 'back door government' by betraying his own existing political alliance and collaborating with his own political foes from other smaller parties. All these were done in the name of his lifetime ambition to be the prime minister.

Come meet Muhyiddin's close associates, Azmin Ali and his 'geng longkang' or drainage gang. Longkang is a Malay word that means drain.

Afif Bahardin, a leader from the inner circle of Azmin, explained to a press conference that hair saloon services are able to reduce high blood pressure of patrons. Really? He quoted a research paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine which was horrendously ill-understood by him of course.

The actual fact is that a team of researchers were presenting their findings that taking medicine to the people — in the places they go regularly, with people they trust — can achieve remarkable results. In this case, they took the medical treatments to the barbershops of African-American men. They were researching if measuring and treating blood pressure in barbershops could help African-American men. Their intention was to look for ways to reach black men, who have extraordinarily high rates of heart attacks, sudden cardiac arrest, heart failure and stroke. It has nothing to do with cutting or washing hair per se.

In fact, a number of studies have suggested a relationship between blood pressure and men’s baldness, particularly the early-onset kind. It is high blood pressure possibly causing baldness, and not cutting hair to lower high blood pressure. Afif, can I advise you something? (sic)

Do you think this Malaysian politician has all the traits of a funny comedian or he is a comedian making it big as a leader of Malaysia ?

Mr Lock Down Prime Minister - Backdoor and Betrayal

Muhyiddin Yassin, the 8th prime minister of Malaysia, was appointed by the king on 29 February 2020 and sworn in on 1 March 2020. He admitted that the was not elected by the people to be the prime minister. He was appointed by the king on the basis that he might be (or mungkin in Malay language) able to secure the support from the majority of parliamentarians. 

Regrettably, the opposition had the majority support of at least 112 parliamentarians on 29 February 2020. There are a total of  222 parliamentarians elected by the people to Malaysian parliament. Up till the date he was sworn in and to date, there has been no certainty as to his command of majority of the parliament.

At the date of writing, he has been in power without a proven majority support of the parliament. A scheduled seating of parliament was immediately postponed by him. In just 2 weeks into his prime ministership, he also declared a lock down of the country due to the failure of his government to control the widespread respiratory infections caused by coronavirus (Covid-19). It is unclear if the parliament will ever be reconvened under this lock down.

Muhyiddin had the guts to inform Malaysians that he might not be elected by them to be the prime minister but he cared for them. Mr lock down PM, you were not elected by Malaysians to care for them. Why would they want the 'care' of someone who had betrayed his predecessor and undemocratically seized power? As a Malay will tell you, "Tak tanya pun? Tak malu ke?" ("We dont ask for it. Not a shameful act?")

The cabinet ministers hastily appointed by Muhyiddin within days are equally bizarre bunch of people.

There is this Fact or Fake quiz going around in Malaysia now:

1. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba advised drinking warm water to help kill Covid-19.
2. Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin wore a white sanitation suit so that she could spray disinfectant in Kuala Lumpur.
3. The Women and Family Development Ministry, under Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun, advised women to wear make-up at home and to speak like Doraemon to their husbands to avoid conflict during the movement control order (MCO) period.
4. Deputy Women and Family Development Minister Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff tweeted that the likelihood of dying from Covid-19 is only 1% while the possibility of dying at any moment is 100%.
5. Minister of Higher Education Noraini Ahmad was busy joining hands with the so called 'influencers' to organise a tik tok contest for creative video clips when all the tertiary students are having disruption to their lessons while they are locked down in their hostels and disallowed to return home. Uncertainty clouds their minds as their parents are confronted with job security because businesses and the overall economy are adversely shattered by the nationwide lock down.

Illogical as it may seem, all the above are absolutely true facts. The morale of this story is to never ever allow rogues taking over your democracy and your country.

Please do not take advice of Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba. World Health Organisation (WHO) has a specific denial against this claim.
