There is very little difference between Madani and PAS agendas.

Putrajaya and PAS' ideology seem to be aligned.

Madani govt building foundation for a theocratic state.

It means propping up a broken system and not upsetting status quo.

Secretive visit of Taliban to M'sia raises more questions.

Politicians and law enforcers have long had a symbiotic relationship.

Racial supremacy is mainstream and Madani govt in no hurry to change it.

Non-Malays' political power to constrain religious and racial state excesses is diminishing.

Umno has also successfully neutered DAP.

Advocates know religious laws influence and erode democratic guardrails.

The party should have no illusions that it won't affect non-Muslims.

We call progressive movements ‘extreme’, defend those championing racist narratives.

They are just 'instruments', not minds behind the act.

It conforms to far-right religious narrative, marginalises reform voices.

Six-month probe revealed sodomised kids, where were religious authorities?

Probe on MP proves any dissent against religious policy affecting non-Muslims will involve state security intervention.

Curbing free speech for safety, stability merely enables the far religious right.

Our hypocrisy is why international community don’t take us seriously.

It reeks of political propaganda, not addressing their plight.

The police's overreaction shows govt's wavering stance on reforms.

Despite all the noise, government knows it can't do much.

In a way, the outfit shows Malaysia as what it truly is.

What we should consider is the relationship between political class and MACC.

People wonder if party will cave on important policy issues.
