(NW) – When the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition returned to power in 2022 under the “unity government” banner, many Malaysians were cautiously hopeful. But fast forward to 2025, and the report card for PH reads like a student who not only failed every subject but also broke the school rules and blamed everyone else for it. The discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA) granted to Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi—who was facing 47 charges of corruption—triggered outrage, not just from civil society but from legal experts and even former judges. PH, which once promised to be the guardian of institutional reform, is now the prime suspect in its slow assassination. Madani in DenialPH’s 2025 report card paints a grim picture: judicial interference, regressive taxation, and foreign policy blunders.
