- This is the reason.
- Or among the reasons.
- Huawei is just too advanced.
- They will eat up the American market.
Ok Imran Khan is still alive. Thats the news coming out from Pakistan. But the protests are still continuing. Here is a brief news video. The protesters are shouting in the Pashto language. Imran Khan is a Pushtun and his supporters are the Pushtun people - the same people who are Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Pakistani Army is controlled by the Punjabis. Oh oh.
As you are reading this, he has been seriously outsmarted by Nawaz Sharif, the "ex" Pakistani PM who now lives in London and Dubai. Nawaz is the brother of the present Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif. Its all in the family. Latest news is that just yesterday 2nd December 2025 Nawaz Sharif returned to Pakistan where he landed in Lahore Airport (not at Islamabad).
Asim Munir is most certainly behind the Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir which triggered the FOUR day war between India and Pakistan (Ops Sindoor) which mauled Pakistan and destroyed their nuclear arsenal.
Unfazed, Asim Munir declared victory and was promoted to Field Marshal of the Army. Or had himself promoted to Field Marshal. Not stopping there he was then made Chief of Armed Forces of Pakistan - a position that did not exist before. This made him in charge of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Not stopping there the Pakistan constitution was amended (the 27th Amendment) which gave the Chief of Armed Forces super expanded powers not only over the Armed Forces but made him immune from legal liability - he need not answer in any Court for his actions. This was setting the stage for a possible coup de etat - which is par for Pakistan.
It is apparent now that another Pakistani general Pervez Musharaf engineered the Kargil War with India to also boost his own image. The Kargil War lasted three months from May to July 1999 and three months later in October 1999 General Musharaf overthrew prime minister Nawaz Sharif and grabbed power for nine years.
Perhaps the same playbook is being used now. Except for one small glitch. The tenure of "Field Marshal" Asim Munir ended on 29th November 2025. He is no more Army Chief or Head of the Armed Forces of Pakistan. It was thought that his tenure would be extended. But until today 3rd December 2025 he has not been given official NOTIFICATION from the prime minister Shebaz Sharif of any extension of his contract. So he has been removed from the equation. Here is a meme of Asim Munir demanding for his NOTIFICATION from the prime minister.
To get a detailed understanding of the troubles of Asim Munir you can listen to GUNNERS SHOT here https://www.youtube.com/live/XiilV7k1XGE?si=b-2Z-JpUWkkrBG71
So the situation in Pakistan right now is pretty tense. No new Chief of Army or Chief of Armed Forces has been named yet - in a nuclear armed country.
Over in Balochistan, the capital city of Quetta is said to be "isolated". Meaning the Baloch insurgents have completely taken over and the Pakistani government has no more authority in Quetta. Of course I cannot vouch for this - this could be hype but the Baloch do hold the ground.
President Trump has also gone quiet on Pakistan. Pakistan has 'volunteered' to participate in an Islamic peace keeping force in Gaza. Big big mistake. You either shoot at the Hamas or shoot at the Israelis. You really do not want to do that. Because they shoot back.
But Gunners Shot suggests that the next tranche of a US$1.5 billion IMF loan to Pakistan is conditional upon Pakistan helping out in Gaza. Without that US$1.5 billion Pakistan will go belly up.
This is a very troubled country.
MY COMMENTS:
A video popped up showing the Parliament or Dewan Rakyat in session. I believe this session was very recent - they were discussing that "letter of support" issue. The whole thing was just a waste of time.
But these questions have become academic because the fellow who was implicated has since appeared wearing that orange coloured uniform and is now under remand. Meaning there already is "probable cause" against him. So why even bother to ask the question in the first place? Were they being serious or was it just for the cameras?
And whether it said 'please do the necessary, please forward, please follow procedure, please follow all SOPs, do the needful, sokong, support, panjangkan' etc does not mean anything.
Because if I was a crooked fellow and my friends or cronies were making some sort of project proposal that requires my approval, and then it came to my attention, then to avoid suspicion I would write on their proposal 'please follow all SOPs' - which should be the right thing to say - and then pass it to my subordinate officer.
Then - being a crooked fellow - I would pick up the phone and call my subordinate to my office and hand him the proposal personally and at the same time wink at him with both my eyes. A simple signal that indicates 'This one kau tim'. So if I can think up a simple scheme like this, surely others can think too.
In fact I can write anything on the proposal - "Tuesday comes after Monday" or 'Jack n Jill went up the hill' - as long as I wink at my subordinate officer he will know that it means "kau tim".
But there is something else that caught my attention. This is not the first time that I am flagging this in this blog. Here is a screenshot of the Parliamentary session in question. Can you see that it is almost empty? Note those yellow circles and that yellow line - I placed them on the empty seats that are supposed to be occupied by the members of Parliament.
I did not get ALL the empty seats because it was tiring. Some of the yellow spots (and that yellow line) are opposition seats but do you notice that a lot of the seats behind the black spot are empty as well. Meaning their own people did not bother to turn up to listen to their boss speaking. Talking to a largely empty dewan.
When their own people do not turn up to listen to the boss - then what do you expect of other people?
Hello Sabahans what did I say just a few days back - NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. Now 48 hours after the polls results came out on Saturday nite (29 Nov 2025) they are already trying to L1W@T all of you.
Here is the Malay Mail report. I have truncated and adapted some.

So Sabahan voters, what can you do now? Here are some options:

There was a technical glitch in uploading this podcast earlier. The earlier podcast was of only 50 minutes duration. 30 minutes of the podcast was missing. The podcast THE THINGS WE CANNOT SAY IN MALAYSIA has since been uploaded again with its full duration of 1hr 26 minutes. This was recorded on Friday 28th November just one day before the Sabah State elections on Saturday.
Here is the link as well: https://youtu.be/ccd6_8Z0ZxE?si=SVqfp6QeDJlgcfTF
The Sabah State elections of 29 November 2025 are over. No single party or coalition won the simple majority of 37 seats to form the government by itself.
The GRS which won 29 seats has formed the government at about 2 am this morning (Sunday 30th Nov) together with UPKO (3 seats) and the FIVE Independents with the barest minimum of 37 seats - a razor thin majority of only one seat.
This is a highly unstable government. Because in Sabah, with such a razor thin majority there is always the threat of ADUN Katakan doing the "lumpatan dance".
And here may I congratulate that young man the Wira of Gaya Street (yellow circle below) whose viral video has helped to sink PKR.
My good friend from Sempoerna Dato RUJI BIN UBI (we worked together in the same office at the NEAC circa 2001, he later became the KSU of Home Affairs) lost in Merotai for PKR.
Bersatu contested in 33 seats but won 0. (I am still a member of Bersatu Lembah Pantai).
DAP contested seven seats and lost all seven seats.
Ok here is the real beef.
The DAP, PKR and UMNO have been wiped out.
Do read that wonderful piece of writing from The Coverage that went viral yesterday. The DAP must memorise that piece.
But here is how the DAP can bounce back. Your fortunes are in Putrajaya where you have at least 12 months of tenure left.
1. Abolish the toll roads. Get rid of the tolls, especially the intracity tolls in the Klang Valley. Over six million Malaysian who vote all over the country, live and work in Kuala Lumpur, in the Klang Valley and Selangor. We all suffer those really bloodsucking intra city tolls. You abolish those tolls and you will not get kicked out.
Abolish all the toll highways. They have been collecting tolls since 1982 (KL - Seremban), ie for 43 years already. That is insane. Abolish the tolls.
2. Remove (not reduce but remove) the APs and the excessive taxes, duties, levies etc on imported cars. Car prices must come down to match world market levels. Why are Malaysians still paying two, three times world market prices for imported cars?
That new regulation that imported EVs cannot be sold below RM100,000 is also stupid. You will lose the elections because of stupid regulations like these.
The public is not going to be fooled by that new "cheapest" EV. Market talk is that the battery is good for less than 300 km range. BYD's smallest EV has a range of over 400 km. The people will know that they are being shortchanged again.
3. Abolish the really outdated Sedition Act. You did it once in 2018 - but Gobind Singh only 'abolished' the Sedition Act for a few weeks. Then they put it back. This time abolish the Sedition Act permanently. Abolish that Section 233 or whatever of the MCMC Act. Do it urgently.
Tell that minister of propaganda to stop arresting people for their online comments on Facebook or Twitter or X or Meta or whatever. It has gone beyond ridiculous. All this costs you votes. The people are fed up with all this crap.
Hello DAP, you are still the single largest party in gomen with your 40 Parliamentary seats. But do you have balls? Ada telor kah? Use your 40 seats to do something good for the people.
Otherwise you are going to get kicked out.
Remember this, since 2018 the politics in the country has changed. This is now the age of 'Lets Kick Them Out'.
