Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (Pahang's Bera MP) The Edge Picture by Sam Fong The Edge questions why no charges against Ismail Sabri and Farhash Wafa Salvador — Both allegedly involved with very serious criminal offences  This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly on 29 December 2025 - 4 January 2026 ONE could describe it as the RM177 million question. How can RM177million in cash, gold and other assets — seized from safe houses linked to former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pictured) and confiscated by the government without any objection from Ismail — still not result in any prosecution against anyone? And why did the case involving politically connected entrepreneur Datuk Farhash Wafa Salvador’s mineral exploration licence fizzle out without any charges? In Ismail’s case, raids this year across multiple properties by the anti-corruption agency, coordinated with law enforcement, netted RM177million in cash in multiple...

A boss tells his secretary, “Pack your bags—we’re traveling abroad this week. Make all the arrangements.” The secretary calls her husband, “Sweetheart, I’m going abroad for work with my boss this week.” The husband, seeing an opportunity, calls his secret lover, “My wife’s out of town—come stay with me!” The lover calls one of her tutoring students, “I won’t be available this week. No lessons.” The student calls his grandpa, “Grandpa, my teacher canceled class! Can I come spend the weekend with you?” Grandpa calls his secretary, “Plans have changed—my grandson is coming to visit.

PANDANGAN IKHLAS WALAUPUN PAHIT UNTUK DITELAN SESETENGAH ORANG MELAYU I bukan ahli mana-mana parti politik. Mana tidak kena yang merugikan rakyat, I hentam. Walaupun Anwar. I tidak taksub pada mana-mana pemimpin. Yang salah tetap salah.  Sebagai pemerhati politik sejak tahun 80'an, I nampak trend politik negara bergolak dari Islamik bawah Almarhum Tan Sri Tuan Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat kepada bukan Islamik bawah Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Hasut orang Cina nak ambl alih kuasa politik negara. Parti DAP bahaya...  Yang percaya, sensitif adalah o...
