Perlis Mufti, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, also known as Dr MAZA, is claiming that high-powered Malaysians are in cahoots with an alleged cult from Korea that has been using Jesus’s name to spread their wayward teachings.


Taking to his Facebook page, he shared that the movement, which he claimed is not by Christianity, has been active in Malaysia.

“The movement is oriented toward deviant teachings”

He wrote, “2 days ago, in the Perlis State Fatwa Committee Meeting, a briefing was given on the cult movement that uses the name of Jesus, with various strange and deviant claims. The main Christian movement also does not recognise them. It originated from Korea.”



“This movement is active in Malaysia in the name of peace and harmony, but is oriented toward its deviant teachings.”


The alleged involvement of Muslim Members of Parliament (MPs)

Dr MAZA went on to claim that there are Muslim Malaysian MPs and other high-powered people who are involved with the alleged cult.

With his post, he hopes to seek justification from the MPs and others on their involvement with the alleged cult. However, he didn’t mention any names.

“What raises questions is that many Muslim MPs and important people in Parliament in our country also seem to be active in participating in and helping this movement,”

“Their photos have also been widely circulated with this movement for many years and in various places in the country. Maybe they have an answer that can justify their involvement. Regardless, this can raise questions for many parties,” he added.

Landmines are a recurring cause of Thai-Cambodian tensions

As we reported earlier, the latest tensions have simmered since a Thai soldier was wounded by a landmine on November 10.

A landmine incident was also the catalyst for five days of hostilities in July.

Thailand accuses Cambodia of laying Soviet-origin PMN-2 mines along parts of their disputed frontier, leading to several Thai soldiers being maimed.

Cambodia denies this, saying the soldiers stepped on non-PMN-2 ordnance planted during a decades-long civil war.

In the aftermath of the July clashes, the Thai military provided Reuters with access to shrapnel and landmines it said it recovered from the border area.

Landmine experts said the photographed PMN-2s were freshly laid, contradicting Cambodia.

PMN-2s are an anti-personnel mine that litters parts of Cambodia and which both countries have pledged by treaty not to use.

Ukraine’s Zelenskyy to meet European allies as US pushes revised peace plan

Ukrainian leader faces rising pressure from US to accept deal that Russia hints meets its wishes.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet key European allies as the United States ramps up pressure on Kyiv to agree to a peace plan designed to end the war with Russia.

Zelenskyy will meet British, French and German leaders in London on Monday to seek backing on defence and security, and to convene on the revised US peace plan.

Zelenskyy said the diplomatic consultations will address both immediate concerns as well as long-term funding for his war-battered country.

The Ukrainian leader will also meet NATO chief Mark Rutte, and EU leaders Antonio Costa and Ursula von der leyen in Brussels, as concerns grow that the US is trying to force Kyiv to accept unfavourable terms.

US President Donald Trump has appeared to adopt a “great powers” approach and to be drawn to accepting Russian narratives in his self-appointed role as the ultimate mediator in the war, which erupted four years ago with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

A 28-point plan drawn up by Trump’s advisers that was leaked last month was widely criticised as a virtual “Russian wishlist”.

Ukrainian officials then worked with European allies to try to develop a new deal, which was then shared with the US.

‘He isn’t ready’

Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner took a revised plan to Moscow last week. They then held several days of talks with Ukrainian officials in Miami, which ended on Saturday with no breakthrough.

The biggest sticking point is understood to be a requirement that Ukraine cede control of its eastern Donbas region to Russia, which currently illegally occupies most but not all of the territory

In comments reported by Bloomburg, Zelenskyy said that the latest proposal requires further discussion on “sensitive issues,” including security guarantees for Ukraine and control of its eastern territories.

“There are visions of the US, Russia and Ukraine, and we don’t have a unified view on Donbas,” he said early on Monday, adding that Kyiv is seeking a separate pact on security guarantees from Western allies, particularly the US.

Trump has previously chastised Zelenskyy for refusing to give up Donbas. Ukraine and its European allies have balked at the idea of handing over land to the aggressor.

Trump expressed concern on Sunday as he asserted that Zelenskyy had not read the latest plan.

“Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but I’m not sure that Zelenskyy’s fine with it. His people love it. But he isn’t ready.”

Ukraine is facing one of the toughest phases of the nearly four-year war, with Russian forces advancing in the east and intensified attacks causing widespread power outages across cities and towns.

Albert Tei Versus PMX

https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei

By Mihar Dias December 2025


In a country where leaders love to lecture us about madani values, compassion, integrity, and all the moral virtues that look good in PowerPoint presentations, it now falls to an ordinary businessman named Albert Tei to remind the nation what courage looks like. https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei


And it certainly doesn’t look like half-masked officers waving pistols in a Puchong living room.


https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei


Albert Tei, to his credit, did not script this as a political thriller. It was written for him the moment armed, masked MACC men smashed into his house.


The man had already revealed evidence implicating the prime minister’s own political secretary in a bribery chain. https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei


If this were a truly functioning democracy, we would be discussing whistleblower protection. Instead, we are debating how many guns are needed to arrest one man who released screenshots and a video.


Yet, Tei walked out six days later—unbroken, unbowed, and very much unwilling to be cowed by the mighty machinery of the state.


That alone deserves applause.


Because in Malaysia today, the real theatre is not Parliament, but the homes of citizens like Tei or Rawther—homes where the government’s moral authority enters through the door not as dialogue but as bullet chambers.


The Anatomy of Fear—Manufactured by the State


Tei’s message to Anwar Ibrahim was disarmingly simple: I am not afraid of you. But don’t touch my family. https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei


That is the sentence that cuts through the fog of political spin, the line that exposes the naked contradiction of this administration.


For all the government’s self-praise about reform, transparency, and human rights, we now have a prime minister who seems to think that the way to silence dissent is to deploy masked men who don’t produce warrants but readily produce firearms. https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei



If these allegations hold, then Anwar’s “madani governance” has graduated from soft intimidation to the hardware variety.


But perhaps this is the new governance model:


When the message is inconvenient, send a message louder than bullets.


Unfortunately for the government, they picked a man who filmed politicians, survived Sabah politics, and apparently refuses to faint at the sight of bad acting—even when the actors are holding guns.


https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei


The Real Fear: When Citizens Stop Being Afraid


Tei’s refusal to be silenced is exactly the kind of behaviour that rattles governments reliant on theatrics of intimidation.


When a citizen who has been slammed to the ground, surrounded by armed men, still walks out shouting lawan tetap lawan, it signals something the administration should fear far more than evidence on a pendrive. https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei



It signals the slow collapse of fear—fear that has traditionally kept Malaysians obedient, compliant, and quiet.


Rawther tried to speak up. Tei is speaking up now.


When ordinary Malaysians begin to realise that the state’s power is only as strong as their silence, the political centre begins to wobble.


This is the part of the movie where a wise leader recalibrates.


But recalibration requires wisdom. But wisdom is painfully absent.


The End Game of Governing by Guns


If pointing pistols at citizens is the new enforcement philosophy, then let’s examine where this road inevitably leads:


• More whistleblowers will flee abroad.


It’s hard to imagine people lining up at Putrajaya to report corruption when they can also expect a home invasion as a bonus.


• MACC’s credibility—already surviving on life support—flatlines.


When CCTV evidence conveniently disappears, the rakyat does not think “professionalism.” They think “cover-up.”


• Anwar’s moral authority evaporates.


The prime minister is already struggling with the narrative that his team is as tainted as those he once condemned. Guns pointed at civilians won’t help him escape comparisons with leaders he once raged against.


• The public begins to ask the unthinkable question:


If this is how they treat someone with evidence, what will they do to the rest of us?


The government’s endgame, if there is one, seems tragically simple:


Threaten enough people, and everyone else will fall in line.


But Malaysia is no longer the Malaysia of 1998. https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2025/12/04/anwar-im-not-afraid-of-you-but-hands-off-my-family-warns-albert-tei


Tei is right about that.


In the age of social media, even a masked raid can’t hide behind its own shadow. Every bruised voice becomes an amplifier. Every intimidation attempt becomes a viral warning shot—not to the whistleblower, but against the government’s own reputation.


Anwar’s Legacy—Written Not by His Pen, but by His Guns


For a man who once claimed to be the victim of state conspiracy, Anwar should be the last person condoning (or appearing to condone) excessive force.


Yet the irony today is almost Shakespearean:


the prisoner of yesterday seems increasingly comfortable with the tools of his former jailors.


Albert Tei may or may not be a perfect man. But perfect men rarely expose imperfect governments.


Today, Tei stands as a reminder that courage does not require titles, political backing, or state machinery. Sometimes it only needs a man, a scandal, and a refusal to stay silent.


So, if Anwar and his administration think that guns, masks, and midnight raids will silence criticism, then they have gravely misunderstood the rakyat’s threshold for fear.


The rakyat may be patient.


We may be polite.


But we are no longer afraid.


Tei’s defiance makes that crystal clear.


For Malaysia’s sake, let’s hope it is a message heard not just by Anwar—but by every man who thinks power comes from a gun instead of the people who placed them in office.

The ‘morality’ of raiding a men’s wellness centre — Mustafa K. Anuar

The ‘morality’ of raiding a men’s wellness centre — Mustafa K. Anuar


Monday, 08 Dec 2025 3:52 PM MYT


DECEMBER 8 — What has been brought to our attention thus far about the recent raid on a men’s wellness centre in Kuala Lumpur, is, to say the least, disturbing.

The raid on the centre, which the authorities considered a gay sex spot, resulted in 208 people being detained, 24 of whom came from South Korea, Indonesia, Germany and China. Among the Malaysians caught, 17 were civil servants.


It is disturbing, for one thing, because the operation, supposedly aimed at smashing “immoral activities”, was carried out with the presence of media personnel and with videos taken.

The wellness centre couldn’t have been made more “public” as a result of this raid, which was conducted on a public tip-off.


A video that had found its way into the internet bared the identities of the patrons, many of whom were just in their towels.


Without privy to the context, the curious public might have perceived all the men in the video as people who were caught with their pants down, so to speak.

This raid, which had caused deep concern among segments in our society, had already made headlines abroad, in countries such as South Korea, Indonesia, Germany and China. A public spectacle offered beyond borders.


To be sure, the men in towels were in full public glare, exposed to public suspicion and even derision, while their dignity was shredded – in a raid that resulted with no one being charged or convicted.

According to media reports, those detained were generally treated in a way that robbed them of their constitutional rights and human dignity.

This lends credence to the suspicion that a social group perceived to be living outside of society’s norms is likely to be subjected to a treatment that is bereft of compassion, prudence and humanity.



A multi-agency raid on a health centre in Chow Kit in Kuala Lumpur on November 28, 2025, suspected of being a front for homosexual activities, has drawn public ire after officials admitted that none of the over 200 men detained will be charged in court as there were no ‘victims’. —- Bernama pic



Certain individuals, who approached the media, claimed that they went to the wellness centre only to have a regular gym workout and sauna or to get a breather away from the city’s traffic jams in the evening rush hour.

And now, they are being haunted by fears of public shame, of uncertain employment prospects, of broken relationships, of strained family ties and of ostracism. That’s punitive enough for people who did no wrong.

These are not the usual type who were caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Not the ones caught for stealing public funds by the millions, adversely impacting on national development projects for the socio-economic upliftment of the ordinary people.

If “moral policing” is considered necessary by the authorities, then they should train their eyes particularly on the corrupt who fray the moral fibre of our society.

A question that begs to be asked from this episode is, does one get to occupy a higher moral ground by sheer shaming of others?

DAP MPs renew call to reform 'draconian' Sosma

DAP MPs renew call to reform 'draconian' Sosma

Dania Kamal Aryf
Published: Dec 7, 2025 5:51 PM
Updated: 8:51 PM



Two government MPs today urged the Pakatan Harapan-led federal administration to speed up the reform of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

In separate statements, RSN Rayer and Ramkarpal Singh, both from DAP, reminded the government of its commitment to abolish draconian laws that have been “overdue”.

“When we were in the opposition, we talked about Sosma being a draconian law.

“When the Perikatan Nasional administration wanted to extend Sosma’s sunset clause in 2022, we spoke against it and rejected it. We have always been vocal against Sosma.

“So it is time for us to do something about it, now that we are in the government. My demand is that it must be abolished. It is time for the government to walk the talk,” Rayer (above) told Malaysiakini.

The Jelutong MP cited the plight of nine individuals and their families who allegedly fell victim to Sosma abuse.

He said the suspects were initially arrested separately under Section 326 of the Penal Code, for reportedly causing grievous bodily hurt through the use of weapons.

Following this, Rayer explained that the authorities had allegedly failed to secure remand orders from various magistrates’ courts, including in Kulim, Sungai Petani, and Alor Setar.

The suspects’ families were then informed that the nine individuals were charged under Sosma instead, over “suspicions of involvement in organised crime”.

“This is a clear-cut case of abuse… The purpose of using Sosma is to detain without trial, because they are not entitled to apply for bail.

“All those who have previously been arrested under Sosma - not a single case has gone to trial so far,” Rayer said, adding that the Sosma provision that allows suspects to be detained without trial for 28 days is a violation of human rights.

Bail denial, continued detention clauses

Meanwhile, Ramkarpal, who is the Bukit Gelugor MP, called for Sosma to be abolished or at least amended to remove “various draconian features” in the law.

He said many existing provisions in Sosma are “contradictory to the government’s reformist agenda”, especially sections 13 and 30 of the Act.

Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh


Section 13 is a provision that denies bail for individuals detained under Sosma, while Section 30 mandates the continued detention of individuals throughout their entire trial and appeals process, regardless of whether they have been acquitted.

“It is obvious that the said provisions are draconian as they completely remove the discretion of the courts in the granting of bail and the remand of persons acquitted of security offences, which also offends the principle of separation of powers,” he said.

Further, Ramkarpal said he had pushed for the provisions to be amended during his time as deputy law minister in 2023, and cautioned against further delay.

“Since stakeholder engagements have already been held since at least 2023, there is no reason to further delay these amendments, which can easily be done in the next Parliamentary sitting in February 2026.

“In the circumstances, I call on the government to announce if Sosma will be repealed or at least be amended and if so, when, as the matter is long overdue,” he stressed.

Committee urges faster Sosma reforms

Last week, the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Human Rights, Election, and Institutional Reform recommended several amendments to the Act following a series of meetings with stakeholders.

Its chairperson, William Leong, reportedly said the committee recommended the government undertake eight strategic proposals to improve the implementation of the Act.

Selayang MP William Leong Jee Keen


He noted that while Sosma was enacted to address offences related to national security, organised crime, and serious threats involving public interest and national sovereignty, its implementation has raised questions from various parties.

Such concerns, he said, cover issues related to justice, transparency, and the protection of human rights, including the issue of detention up to 28 days without judicial review, prohibition of bail, and limited access to legal counsel.

Leong also urged the Home Ministry to consider setting up a shorter timeline to implement the Sosma amendments, so that legal reforms can be executed transparently and in phases.

Anwar Pleased With Ministers’ Performance So Far, Said All Of Them Did Well

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has given all ministers in his Cabinet a solid ‘A’ grade for their midterm performance so far.

He made the commendation during a town-hall event named Rancakkan Madani at Dataran Putrajaya yesterday (Dec 7), reported Malay Mail.

‘None of them failed’

At the event, Anwar said the ministers’ effectiveness could be judged by whether national policies focused on human values have helped improve Malaysians’ overall well-being instead of solely relying on economic figures.

None of the ministers lagged behind. I analyse every single ministry in detail. So I agreed with the chief secretary’s suggestion to hold these events so we can communicate our achievements.”

“And you evaluate this yourself, and not just the data. Because data can be misleading, some countries record massive growth but poverty remains a problem; a country can be the richest in the world, yet homelessness there is everywhere.

“So evaluate (their policies) through the values of humanity, and the values of humanity means leaving nobody behind,” he said.

Anwar also cited recent successes such as economic growth, the Ringgit’s appreciation, and organising the 46th and 47th Asean Summit.

“It has been three years, a very short time, but I am blessed by Allah and must express my deepest appreciation for friends in the Cabinet, civil servants and the people who help the Madani government to lift Malaysia’s dignity.


“Thanks to political stability, we have managed to craft a national policy and execute it in the best possible way not just for growth, but also for the people’s wellbeing.”


Growing discontent?

Anwar’s comments come at a time where the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition experienced its worst electoral performance in history, with PKR winning a single seat while DAP was completely annihilated in the recent Sabah state election.

The pressure was further amped up when MCA president Wee Ka Siong urged Anwar to remove Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek from her position, claiming she was “ineffective” despite being given one of the largest allocations to date.

High Court orders RM31m compensation for family of missing pastor Raymond Koh, to be held in Amanah Raya trust

High Court orders RM31m compensation for family of missing pastor Raymond Koh, to be held in Amanah Raya trust



The choice of trustee was based on its low management fees and a guarantee to return the money if the ruling is appealed. — Picture by Shafwan Zaidon

Monday, 08 Dec 2025 2:01 PM MYT


KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 8 — The High Court today ordered that the over RM31 million in damages awarded to Pastor Raymond Koh be placed in a trust with Amanah Raya Berhad.

Lawyer Datuk Jerald Gomez, representing Koh’s wife Susanna Liew Sow Yoke, said Judge Su Tiang Joo issued the order following an agreement with senior federal counsel Nurul Farhana Khalid, representing the government and Royal Malaysia Police.

“Amanah Raya Berhad is appointed to hold the money and any interest as trustee for the first plaintiff (Koh) until his whereabouts can be identified or revealed,” he told reporters after the proceedings.

The choice of trustee, Jerald explained, was based on its low management fees and a guarantee to return the money if the ruling is appealed.


The move complies with Judge Su’s Nov 5 order to deposit the funds into a trustee account until Koh’s whereabouts are confirmed or disclosed.

The sum comprises general damages of RM10,000 per day from Feb 13, 2017, until Koh’s whereabouts are disclosed, RM1 million in damages, and RM1 million in exemplary damages.

In an application on November 28, Liew had requested that her law firm, Messrs Jerald Gomez & Associates, be appointed as the trustee.


She also proposed PB Trustee Services Berhad and Amanah Raya Berhad as alternative options should the court not appoint the law firm.

Liew had filed the suit against the police and the government concerning her husband’s disappearance and the authorities’ handling of the investigation.

Koh was reported to have been abducted by a group of masked men while driving in Kelana Jaya, near here, on February 13, 2017. — Bernama

Ramasamy peeps into prospect of a DAP turnaround after “re-awakening” from its deep slumber

Ramasamy peeps into prospect of a DAP turnaround after “re-awakening” from its deep slumber

By Prof Ramasamy Palanisamy
2 hours ago





DAP leaders having Rip Van Winkled for more than three years have finally realised that the party is being subjugated by other political forces aligned to the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led coalition.


The Sabah state election which resulted in DAP emerging empty handed from the eight seats it contested – despite being incumbents in six of the seats – was an eye-opener.

Whether the present re-awakening of DAP can reverse its political fortunes not only in Sabah but also the peninsula remains to be seen.



What was most unacceptable was not such much the loss but the desertion of its traditional Chinese supporters.

The Chinese Tsunami against the DAP might have far reaching geographical effect although sone political commentators tend to see it as only confined to Sabah

Nevertheless, the shock of DAP being wiped out in Sabah has led to some its leaders urging the Madani government helmed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to implement viable reforms.

The PH-led coalition came to power in 2022 with the promise of grandiose PMX mantra of far-reaching reforms.

‘Sudden Indian community embrace’

However, the coalition’s last three years in power has revealed that such reform agenda has been side-stepped and forgotten.

The need to stay in power and to prolong its stay has become the sole pre-occupation of the ruling coalition.

The party’s secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook’s promise of reforms to avert the growing unpopularity of DAP has fallen on the deaf ears of Anwar.

Having subdued the DAP, Anwar is least bothered about the grievances aired by the party leaders.

Meanwhile, some DAP Indian leaders who are aware of the growing disenchantment of Indians towards the ruling coalition and its partners like DAP are beginning to speak on behalf of the community.



One leader marched along with aggrieved Ipoh kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi to unsuccessfully meet up with the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Datuk Seri Khalid Ismail in Bukit Aman..

Another DAP Cabinet minister spoke about the extra-judicial killings of Indians by the police.

It soon became clear that he was not speaking on behalf of the Indian community but his clients who were the family members of those detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 a.k.a. SOSMA.

In other words, he sought to represent his paying clients rather than genuinely take up the case of arbitrary arrests and detentions under the dreaded SOSMA.

In same path as UMNO, MCA, MIC

There is feeling among some DAP leaders that taking up a few society-related matters might ingratiate the party with the public especially the subaltern sections.

Unknown to the pretensions of these leaders and others, working in spurts is hardly the way to revive DAP.

Essentially, DAP is victim of generational changes. What appealed to the earlier generations when DAP was in the opposition might be different to the appeals of the present generation especially when DAP is in power.



Already heavily ensconced in power, positions and perks, today’s party leaders might not be under the same political, social and cultural circumstances of its yesteryear popularity.

It took the MCA, MIC, Gerakan and UMNO a few decades in power to witness their political decline. The logic of history is going to be the same for DAP – the vicious cycle trap.

Holding power is both enthralling and dangerous. The longer DAP stays in power, the faster the party is going to go down the path of no return.

It is said that a candle burns the brightest before it fades away to be extinguished. This analogy fits the demise of political parties such as the MCA, MIC and UMNO with now DAP walking a similar path. – Dec 8, 2025
