Golongan pembohong menjadi pemimpin" (Liars becoming leaders): The government, led by Mahthir after the historic 2018 election, was criticized for not fully delivering on its reform agenda, particularly in areas such as institutional transparency and governance. The promise to abolish tolls, reduce the cost of living, and implement political reforms created high expectations, but when many of these promises were not realized, the credibility of leadership was questioned.

Pengkhianat diberikan amanah" (Traitors being entrusted with responsibilities - to handle Covid-19, resulting in casually to pharma and country debt from 1 to 1.5 trillion dollar): The Sheraton Move in 2020, which led to the collapse of the PH government and the rise of *Perikatan Nasional* (PN), was seen by many as a betrayal of the people's mandate. The move, spearheaded by figures like Muhyiddin Yassin and Azmin Ali, reinforced the narrative that political leaders often act in self-interest rather than in service to the public.

Si jahil yang berlagak tahu" (Ignorant people pretending to be knowledgeable): In the context of governance, there have been instances where individuals appointed to key government roles lacked the necessary expertise. For example, criticisms have been levied at ministers in charge of important portfolios like health, education, and finance who were perceived as not fully understanding the complexity of the issues they were tasked with managing.
The previous education minister, for example, faced heavy criticism for the handling of the national education system, which is widely regarded as declining in quality. Malaysia’s performance in international assessments like PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) has shown stagnation or decline over the years, highlighting the growing concern over educational standards. The rise of racial and religious polarization in educational policies, coupled with an overemphasis on rote learning rather than critical thinking, has worsened the perception of incompetence in leadership.
In addition, concerns about leaders making uninformed or populist decisions, especially during times of crisis, have fueled this narrative. The handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during the PN government's tenure, drew mixed responses, with criticisms directed at the inconsistency in policies and communication, contributing to further distrust in the leadership's competence.

While PAS claims to champion Islam, its narrow, conservative approach would push Malaysia towards a similar fate as that of the Islamic world after the 11th century—where rigid orthodoxy, rejection of pluralism, and intellectual stagnation led to the decline of a once-thriving civilization. Instead of fostering a renewed era of progress and enlightenment, PAS is steering the country toward an insular and divided society, detached from the global advancements that have historically marked the greatness of Islamic civilization. By doing so, Malaysia could see the end of its own version of an Islamic "golden age," with the country slipping into stagnation rather than thriving as a pluralistic, forward-thinking nation.

Unity Minister: From rightful KPI of -50% to potentially +100%

Stop makan gaji buta. Diversity is both our strength and its vulnerability. Prioritizing interracial relationships by mandating that the Unity Ministry reviews all proposals, initiatives, and legal drafts before public discussion or cabinet deliberation is a proactive approach to ensuring national unity. It will help build a more integrated, peaceful, and prosperous Malaysia, where all races work together towards common goals.
