While the focus is on condemning the Madani government, a coup d'état is in process

IT IS now very fashionable to condemn Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his government.

This is a total diversion from what is really going on. An elaborate network of trolls is working overtime criticising Anwar and his government.

This is not hard to do, as in all honesty, his tenure as prime minister has left a lot to be desired. I was one of its greatest critics.

Through WhatsApp groups, it’s really trendy to jump on the anti-Madani bandwagon. If you criticise Anwar, that’s okay according to the authorities.

But if you criticise the concept of halal garbage collection, you will be arrested and held in custody as a means of intimidation.

There is now a deep chilling effect on all bloggers and political commentators in Malaysia – a climate of fear is real.

As the writer knows, if you criticise agencies, sensitive parts of the bureaucracy, they will come after you. They spent RM 5.0 million to chase me across South-East Asia.

All the law enforcement attacks on those who criticise elements of the bureaucracy reflect badly on Anwar, as they are aimed to do by the people behind it. They are getting away Scott-free and being voted into power.

Expose elements of corruption by the connected-contractors, scammers, and those who are stealing the public purse, and you will be arrested, or sued by elements that make up part of the ‘deep state’ that are closely connected to UMNO and the power-elite within Malaysia.

This is the coup d’état that is going on in Malaysia today. Anwar was put into power by the deep state and managed.

They demanded a lot in a totally overboard fashion. Even members of the cabinet (and former members) fear speaking up.

There is a perception that corruption has increased under Anwar’s administration, while in reality, it is because of the expansion of social media access and readership to online news, and massively increased leakage of information.

The fact is that corruption is coming from the old guards - the same people doing the same things as in the past.

Such actions would have been covered up previously, but can no longer be hidden.

UMNO is planning to retake Putrajaya and destroy Pakatan Harapan (who didn’t expose them) so they can rule the country as a feudal elite once again.

The plan is taking shape, and the public is truly unaware of what is really going on here.

While the public celebrates the defeat of Anwar Ibrahim, the dark forces within Malaysia will, this time around, come back without any statutory body or law-enforcement officer to prevent it.

Justice will once again just be bought and traded by those in power. The issue is not about race. This is just another diversion.

It’s about putting a dark elite back in total control of the country, without sharing any power with others. Most of those who can confirm what I have written above have been silent.

Brush off what I have said as a conspiracy theory is your prerogative, but the truth will soon come out, and everyone will be stuck with it. – August 10, 2026
