Attacker Audit Candidate 1: The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc

Series: Malaysia Is About to Be Attacked, Because This Is the Land of Bani Israel

The position of the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc in the list of candidates must be read with the greatest care. This is the most sensitive candidate, but it is also the strongest candidate from the perspective of the pattern of “entering as they entered the first time.” The title of this series uses the name Malaysia because the second attack is being tested within the form of the modern state that exists today. However, the root of this reading of the verse does not begin from modern political borders alone. The root of BAZ’s reading returns to Tanah Melayu, Muqaddasi Tuwa, Kedah Tua and the question of Bani Israel as read within the framework of this land. Therefore, this candidate, the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc, is not audited only because of its relationship with modern Malaysia, but because its historical pattern once entered Tanah Melayu through the sea, trade, treaties, the palace, natural wealth, administration and system.

In this analysis, Anglo-America refers to a Western power structure centered on two main cores, namely the United Kingdom and the United States of America, together with the network of allies, political legacy, military power, finance, intelligence, media, diplomacy and security that move within their sphere of influence. This term does not refer personally to all British or American citizens. It refers to a system of power formed from the history of the British Empire, later inherited and expanded by the United States as the modern Western power.

In the Malaysian context, this term is important because the first attack in BAZ’s reading is closely connected to Western maritime power, especially the Portuguese, the Dutch and, most importantly, the British. In the modern era, that Western power moves more through the United States, security alliances, defence agreements, economic influence, technology, intelligence and the geopolitical framework of the Indo-Pacific.

In the modern global power structure, the United States may be read as the most dominant power within the Western framework, especially in terms of military strength, finance, security, technology and international alliance networks. The British, meanwhile, remain the historical shadow closest to the colonial cycle of Tanah Melayu.

This definition is made for the purpose of power analysis. It is not meant to accuse all British, American, Australian, New Zealand or Western people of being enemies. In this article, BAZ is testing a power structure, not judging a people. What is being assessed is the historical pattern, security structure, maritime interest, military capability and possible role in a major crisis.

Mandatory Reading Before Continuing This Article

Before continuing, you must first read the foundational article below:

Essential Foundations That Must Be Understood Before Reading This Article

This article cannot be read separately from that foundation. Do not continue reading this article with a mind already filled with assumptions. Do not read it with an old framework of thought that has become used to locking Surah al-Isra’ into an interpretation that is not necessarily placed correctly.

Reminder Before Reading This Candidate

When BAZ mentions “the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc”, BAZ is not accusing all Western people. BAZ is not calling for hatred against Western nations. BAZ is also not stating that America, Britain, Australia or any Western country will certainly attack Malaysia.

What is being tested is a pattern of power. That pattern includes naval power, trade power, financial power, intelligence power, diplomatic power, media power, treaty power, security power and systemic power.

This is important because the Qur’anic verses being discussed in this series do not name a race, a government, a direction of attack, a type of weapon or a location. In the article on the profile of the first attacker, BAZ has emphasized that modern, tactical and colonial readings are only analytical readings based on the wording of the verse, not the final and absolute meaning of the verse.

Why the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc Must Be Placed as the First Candidate

The biggest reason is the phrase:

كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ
as they entered it the first time

In BAZ’s analysis, this phrase does not instruct us to search for the same race in a literal sense. It instructs us to search for the same pattern of entry.

The article “The Second Attack: Its Entry Is Like the First Time” states that the original focus of this phrase is entry, not merely destruction. The second event has a pattern that resembles the first event. It is not necessarily the same people. It is not necessarily the same group. It is not necessarily the same bloodline. What is the same is the pattern of entry.

Therefore, when we ask who the strongest candidate is, the real question is NOT:

“Which country is the strongest?”

The real question is:

Who most resembles the pattern of the first entry?

Here, the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc become the heaviest candidate.

The First Pattern Was a Western Maritime Pattern

In BAZ’s reading, the first attack upon Tanah Melayu is not read as a single isolated explosion of events. It is read as a long cycle from Melaka 1511 to Merdeka 1957.

That cycle began with the Portuguese, continued with the Dutch, was deepened by the British, shaken by the Japanese, and then followed by the British return before Merdeka 1957. BAZ’s article states that Melaka 1511 opened a long cycle of foreign power penetration into Tanah Melayu, with sovereignty suspended, natural wealth controlled, the system of government altered and demography shaped.

This was not an ordinary pattern and not merely a war. It was the pattern of a naval power entering through ports, controlling trade routes, pressuring the palace, taking resources, altering administration, shaping laws, arranging the economy and eventually suspending sovereignty.

Therefore, if the second attack occurs “as they entered the first time”, the strongest candidate must be sought among powers capable of repeating that pattern in a modern form.

The British as the Deepest Penetration

The Portuguese opened the door. The Dutch continued the control. But the British carried out the deepest penetration.

BAZ’s previous article stated that the British did not stop at ports or trading cities. After the Pangkor Treaty of 1874, the British entered the center of decision-making through the Resident system. From there, British influence touched the palace, administration, state revenue, taxation, law, economy, education and the labour system.

This is very important for us to realize and understand. The British did not need to erase the king in order to weaken the king. The British did not need to demolish the palace in order to enter the palace’s center of decision-making. The British did not need to change the names of the Malay states in order to change the direction of those states. It was enough to place a Resident beside the ruler, then make his advice binding in administrative affairs.

This is a very subtle form of خِلَالَ الدِّيَارِ. The enemy does not necessarily enter by burning every door. The enemy can enter by sitting beside power. The enemy can enter through advice. The enemy can enter through treaties. The enemy can enter through finance. The enemy can enter through law. The enemy can enter through assistance. Therefore, the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc become the strongest candidate because it makes the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc a very important candidate to be audited, since there is a continuity of power structure, security framework, maritime influence and historical experience that once shaped a pattern of entry like this in Tanah Melayu.

The United States as the Head of Modern Western Power

In the modern world, the greatest Western power is no longer Britain. The greatest power is the United States. Based on data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on global military expenditure for 2025, the United States recorded military spending of USD 954 billion. SIPRI also recorded that the United States, China and Russia together contributed 51 percent of total global military expenditure in that year.

Therefore, from the perspective of بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ in the form of modern hard power, the United States occupies the highest position within the Western framework. “Power” here does not mean that every field is absolutely controlled by America. It means that the United States has great influence and high capability in those fields compared to most other countries.

The United States fulfills almost every layer of modern power:

• Military power, ✅
• Naval power, ✅
• Air power, ✅
• Satellite power, ✅
• Cyber power, ✅
• Financial power, ✅
• Sanctions power, ✅
• Media power, ✅
• Diplomatic power, ✅
• Intelligence power, ✅
• Foreign base power, ✅
• Alliance power, ✅
• Treaty power, ✅
• Technological power, ✅
• and the power to shape the global security framework. ✅

If the verse only mentions hard strength, America is already a very major candidate. But if the verse mentions entry as in the first time, America becomes even larger as a candidate because America today is the continuer of the global Western power system after the British. Please refer to the Profile of the Group That Attacked Bani Israel the First Time.

The United Kingdom as a Colonial Trace

The United Kingdom is no longer equal to America in terms of global military power. However, the United Kingdom carries great weight in the history of Tanah Melayu.

• The British once entered the Malay state system.
• The British once touched the palace.
• The British once controlled revenue.
• The British once arranged administration.
• The British once shaped law.
• The British once influenced education.
• The British once structured the economy.
• The British once returned after Japan through the British Military Administration.

Therefore, the United Kingdom cannot be removed from this candidate. Although it is no longer the head of Western power as it once was, it remains the clearest historical shadow in the pattern of the first attack. In BAZ’s reading, if America is the head of modern Western power, Britain is the historical memory that shows how that pattern once occurred in Tanah Melayu.

FPDA as an Old Framework That Still Exists

The The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc must also be read through the security framework that still exists around Malaysia. FPDA, or the Five Power Defence Arrangements, was established in 1971 as a defensive arrangement between Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The official FPDA website states that these five countries consult one another if an armed attack occurs against Malaysia or Singapore.

Officially, FPDA is a defence arrangement. Therefore, BAZ cannot use FPDA as proof that the West wants to attack Malaysia. However, from the perspective of power audit, FPDA remains important because it shows that old defence ties between Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have not been severed.

That framework continues to serve as a channel for training, security consultations and military coordination among those countries. Officially, FPDA is a defence arrangement. Therefore, BAZ cannot use FPDA as proof that the West wants to attack Malaysia. However, from the perspective of power audit, FPDA remains important because it shows that the old defence relationship between Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand has not been severed. That relationship continues through training, security consultations and military coordination. In times of peace, it may be read as defence cooperation. In a major crisis, however, any existing defence channel can turn into a doorway for influence, pressure or the entry of external power.

AUKUS and the Rise of the Western Framework in the Indo-Pacific

Besides FPDA, AUKUS must also be observed. AUKUS is a security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The United States Department of Defense states that AUKUS reflects the commitment of Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States to support a free, open, peaceful, secure and stable Indo-Pacific.

In the development of AUKUS, Australia and the United Kingdom have also entered into long-term cooperation related to the nuclear-powered submarine program. This cooperation cannot be read as a direct threat to Malaysia, but it shows that the Anglo-American framework is strengthening its maritime position in the Indo-Pacific, particularly amid power competition with China.

This does not mean AUKUS is targeting Malaysia. However, it shows one major point. The Anglo-American Bloc is strengthening again its maritime structure in the Indo-Pacific.

Malaysia lies in the middle of that route. Malaysia is near the South China Sea. Malaysia is at the Strait of Melaka. Malaysia is between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Therefore, Malaysia cannot possibly be outside the calculations of great powers.

Therefore, AUKUS cannot be used as proof that Malaysia is being targeted. It only shows that Anglo-American power is strengthening its maritime position in the Indo-Pacific. In this audit, what is being tested is not the intention to attack Malaysia, but the impact of a great power framework when Malaysia is located in the middle of the Strait of Melaka route and near the South China Sea.

The Strait of Melaka Makes Malaysia Too Important

The The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc become a strong candidate not only because of history. It is also strong because of geography.

The Strait of Melaka is among the most important maritime routes in the world. In April 2026, current data showed that the Strait of Melaka carried nearly 22 percent of global maritime trade, around 29 percent of maritime oil flows in the first half of 2025 and more than 102,500 ships throughout 2025. It is not merely an ordinary shipping route, but among the busiest maritime trade routes in the world and one of the most important oil chokepoints in global power calculations.

This means Malaysia is located at one of the most important maritime junctions in the calculations of world power. Whoever wants to control the Indo-Pacific must look at the Strait of Melaka. Whoever wants to pressure China must look at the Strait of Melaka. Whoever wants to secure oil routes must look at the Strait of Melaka. Whoever wants to control Asian trade must look at the Strait of Melaka.

Therefore, a candidate with global naval power must be audited more highly than a country that is only strong on land. This is where the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc become a major candidate.

America-Malaysia Relations Today Are Not Open Hostility

The United States and Malaysia today are not in a state of war. Both countries still have defence relations and joint exercises. CARAT Malaysia 2025 between the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps and the Malaysian Armed Forces was described as an exercise to enhance regional security cooperation, strengthen partnership and improve maritime interoperability.

Malaysia and America also have official dialogue that refers to deep relations and cooperation in various fields, including defence and security. Therefore, BAZ cannot write as if America is preparing to attack Malaysia tomorrow morning.

However, good relations today do not cancel the audit. In history, great powers do not always enter as enemies at the beginning. Sometimes they enter as trading partners. Sometimes as advisers. Sometimes as trainers. Sometimes as protectors. Sometimes as suppliers. Sometimes as rescuers during a crisis.

BAZ’s question is not “who is a friend today.” BAZ’s question is:

If a major crisis occurs, who has the greatest ability to enter the center of national decision-making?

In that question, the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc remain at the top.

The Western Bloc Can Enter Without Old-Style Colonization

Old colonization required flags, ships, cannons and governors. Modern colonization does not necessarily take that form.

In modern geopolitics, external power influence does not necessarily appear through old colonization. It can emerge through various channels such as financial pressure, credit ratings, economic sanctions, asset freezes, security agreements, arms import restrictions, temporary bases, military exercises, technical assistance, security contractors, digital software, communication systems, international media, international NGOs, international courts, crisis diplomacy and pressure in the name of stability.

BAZ is not saying that all these channels are evil. Some are legitimate, normal and may bring benefit. However, in the audit of the second attack, every channel that can become a doorway for external influence must still be tested. Because خِلَالَ الدِّيَارِ is not merely an enemy standing outside the walls. It describes entry into the inner arrangement of the state, society, administration and the life of the people.

The British once entered through the Resident system. Modern power can enter through subtler systems.

Why This Candidate Is Stronger Than China From the Perspective of “As the First Time”

China is very strong from the perspective of current conflict. China has issues involving the South China Sea, Malaysia’s EEZ, oil and gas, and the Strait of Melaka. But if the key is:

as they entered it the first time

then China does not surpass the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc. The reason is this:

The first pattern of Tanah Melayu was not China.
The first pattern was the arrival of Western power through the sea, ports, trade and war fleets.
The first pattern was Melaka falling to the Portuguese.
The first pattern was the Dutch taking over a strategic position.
The first pattern was the British entering the state system.
The first pattern was the palace remaining while administrative power changed.
The first pattern was natural wealth and the economy being rearranged.
The first pattern was sovereignty suspended before being returned.

Therefore, China is stronger as a current-conflict candidate. The The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc are stronger as a candidate of Qur’anic pattern and history.

The Western Bloc and Istana Negara

If this analysis tests the possibility of Istana Negara as the modern center of sovereignty, the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc become heavier.

In the article “They Attacked Istana Melaka Before. Will They Attack Istana Negara Later?”, BAZ tested the possibility that if in the time of Melaka the center of power was the palace and the city of Melaka, then in the modern age the greatest center of national sovereignty is Istana Negara.

In history, the British most clearly displayed the pattern of touching the palace without abolishing the palace. The king remained. The palace remained. Custom remained. Islam remained placed upon the ruler. Yet administration, revenue, taxation and state policy came under British advice.

If the second attack moves toward the modern center of sovereignty, then the power that best understands the pattern of touching the center of power without necessarily demolishing its symbols is the power that once did it. This is why this candidate, Anglo-America and the West, is very heavy.

Weaknesses of the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc Candidate

Although this candidate is the strongest from the perspective of pattern, it still has several weaknesses as a direct attack candidate.

• First, Malaysia today still has diplomatic, economic and defence relations with Western countries.
• Second, America and its allies have no direct territorial claim over Malaysia.
• Third, any open attack on Malaysia would damage the image of the West in Southeast Asia and could push Malaysia closer to China.
• Fourth, Malaysia is not an official enemy of America, Britain or Australia.
• Fifth, Western power usually does not need to attack openly if influence can be achieved through diplomacy, economics, security and the international system.

Therefore, if the Anglo-American and Western candidate truly moves, its form may not be an old-style war. Its form is more likely to be:

• Diplomatic pressure,
• Security crisis,
• Intervention in the name of stability,
• Economic pressure,
• Information operations,
• Sanctions,
• Defence doorway,
• International legal pressure, or
• Entry through a larger great power framework.

When the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc Can Rise to Become a Very Dangerous Candidate

The The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc can become very dangerous if several major conditions occur. Read carefully what is written below.

First, if a China-America war breaks out.

If a major war occurs in Taiwan, the South China Sea or around the Indo-Pacific sea routes, Malaysia will become too important because of the Strait of Melaka and its position near the South China Sea. At that time, Malaysia may be pressured to choose a position. If Malaysia is seen as too close to China, Western pressure may increase. If Malaysia tries to remain neutral, pressure from both sides may occur.

Second, if the Strait of Melaka becomes a field of energy control.

If China’s energy route is to be pressured, the Strait of Melaka becomes a major pressure point. In that situation, Western power can enter in the name of freedom of navigation, maritime security or protection of trade routes.

Third, if an internal political crisis occurs in Malaysia.

External powers enter most easily when the internal door is open. If elites are divided, the state is unstable, the economy is shaken, the people are angry, institutions are weak and security issues erupt, external power can enter as a “stabilizer.” In the narrative of the fall of Melaka, the internal door is often depicted through the figure of Si Kitol. Whether readers read that element as literal history or as a symbol of internal betrayal, the larger message remains the same: external power enters more easily when the inner door is already open. External powers rarely enter without looking for a door that is already open.

Fourth, if a security crisis touches Istana Negara or the institutions of sovereignty.

If the center of national sovereignty becomes a field of conflict, external powers can use various official reasons such as the protection of foreign citizens, regional security, trade stability, restoration of democracy, defence of human rights or maritime security. In such a situation, the “attack” is not necessarily called an attack at the beginning.

• • It may be called assistance.
  • It may be called a security operation.
  • It may be called protection.
  • It may be called restoration of stability.
  • Yet its effect may become the entry of external power into the center of decision-making.

Match Scoring for the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc

The scores below are not final predictions. They are only BAZ’s audit scale to assess the level of match between this candidate and the profile of the verse, historical pattern and modern geopolitical reality. A high score does not mean the candidate will certainly attack. A low score also does not mean the candidate cannot possibly be involved.

From the perspective of the history of the first attack, the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc receive the highest score because the cycle from Melaka 1511 to Merdeka 1957 in BAZ’s analysis began with the arrival of Western powers through the sea, ports, trade and war fleets. That pattern was later deepened by the British through treaties, administration, natural wealth, the palace and the system of the Malay states. Therefore, its historical match is around 10/10.

From the perspective of “as the first time”, its score is also very high because the first entry pattern was the Western maritime pattern, trade, treaties, palace, administration and system. Therefore, this match is around 9/10 to 10/10.

From the perspective of modern military capability, the United States as the head of Western power has the greatest military strength in the world based on 2025 expenditure. Therefore, this candidate’s score is around 10/10.

From the perspective of maritime and Indo-Pacific power, this candidate is also very strong because America has the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, which covers a vast Asia-Pacific region including 38 countries, more than 50 percent of the world’s population and several of the world’s largest militaries. Therefore, its score is around 10/10.

From the perspective of direct motive against Malaysia, its score is not as high as China because the West has no direct territorial claim over Malaysia. Therefore, the direct motive score is around 2/10 to 3/10.

From the perspective of strategic motive involving Malaysia, especially the Strait of Melaka, the South China Sea, energy routes and competition with China, its score is high. Therefore, the strategic motive score is around 8/10.

From the perspective of the possibility of attacking Malaysia openly, its score is low to moderate because official relations are still good and the political cost is high. Therefore, its score is around 2/10 to 3/10.

From the perspective of the possibility of being involved indirectly through pressure, crisis, sanctions, security frameworks, proxies, information operations or intervention in the name of stability, its score is high. Therefore, its score is around 8/10.

Specific Conclusion on the The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc

The The Anglo-American, Commonwealth and Western Allies Bloc cannot be read like an ordinary candidate. It is not merely one country, but a power structure that has history, system, sea, finance, media, intelligence, treaties and long experience in the calculations of global geopolitics.

In the context of Tanah Melayu, what BAZ is auditing is not the personal intention of Western people and not an accusation that Western countries will certainly attack Malaysia. What is being audited is a pattern of power that has occurred in history. In the past, Western power entered through the sea, trade, treaties, the palace, natural wealth, administration and system. The king remained. The palace remained. The names of the states remained. Yet revenue, administration, law and the direction of the state changed.

For that reason, in BAZ’s audit, this candidate cannot be placed at the edge. This candidate is not merely a sword on the battlefield. This candidate is the old hand that once learned how to open the palace door without having to break it.
