Malaysian politics used to be very much about race. That was bad. But now it has gotten even worse. Now Malaysian politics is about religion. And if you think racial politics is bad you have seen nothing yet. Religious politics is many more times worse and history can testify to this.

Anwar will never agree to the destruction of Pesaka just as he will never agree to the destruction of Umno in Sabah. We have been through this before.
