  • Sdgs, Smart Urbanisation and Politics: Stakeholder Partnerships and Environmental Cases in Malaysia
    Journal of Sustainability Science and Management eISSN: 2672-7226 Volume 16 Number 4, June 2021: 190-219 © Penerbit UMT SDGS, SMART URBANISATION AND POLITICS: STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIPS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CASES IN MALAYSIA SENG BOON LIM*1, JALALUDDIN ABDUL MALEK1, MOHD YUSOF HUSSAIN1, ZURINAH TAHIR1 AND NOR HISHAM MD SAMAN2 1Center for Research in Development, Social and Environment, Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. 2Department of Town & Regional Planning, Faculty of Architecture, Planning & Surveying, Universiti Teknologi Mara (Perak Branch). *Corresponding author: [email protected] Submitted final draft: 22 July 2020 Accepted: 27 August 2020 http://doi.org/10.46754/jssm.2021.06.016 Abstract: Consequent to the declaration of achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) by United Nations in 2016, most of the countries with capitalist politics have chosen to adopt “smart urbanisation” as a tool to help them gear up for national development. However, research shows that most countries, including Malaysia, are not on the right track. Thus, this research paper aims to examine the alternative political policies besides that of a capitalist/liberal democracy, such as ecological democracy, that the Malaysian smart urbanisation movement should follow to achieve the SDGs. This study applied the method of case study analysis in examining empirical examples related to stakeholder partnerships and environmental cases in smart urbanisation in Malaysia. This paper argues that achieving the SDGs with the current capitalist hegemony poses a significant challenge to countries. However, with environmental ethics in mind, it is possible to achieve the SDGs with the trust granted by the government in the form of participatory politics.

  • 100 Days of Muhyiddin's Government Leadership
    Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education Vol.12 No.2 (2021), 755- 763 Research Article 100 Days of Muhyiddin’s Government Leadership: A Manifestation of the Continuity of Paternalism Values a b c d Lutfan Jaes , Nurul Aimi Razali , Asyraf Maula Mohd Yusof and Khairul Azman Mohd Suhaimy a,b,c,d Pusat Pengajian Umum dan Kokurikulum, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, 86400 Parit Raja, Batu Pahat, Johor Article History: Received: 11 January 2021; Accepted: 27 February 2021; Published online: 5 April 2021 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: This article attempts to describe Muhyiddin in leading the Pakatan Nasional Government (PN), especially in the era of Covid-19 pandemic management. It is traced through the role of Asian Values which are believed to shape the leadership character in his administration as the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia. The stance on values and dimensions was referred based on the highlights of past literatures which stated that Asian countries have their own set of unique ideologies. It was then developed through the observation of one hundred (100) days of Muhyiddin’s administration. Content analysis was applied as a research design aimed at identifying and then describing his significant speech text passages. The analysis looks at Paternalistic Leadership in the tendencies of “Work Ethics”, “Society”, “Power Orientation”, and “Family” value dimensions. These four dimensions are often discussed by scholars in underlying the leadership style of Asian leaders. Data encoding was performed using the ATLAS software. The results show that Muhyiddin has indeed applied paternal values in governing. He managed to incorporate these values indirectly in the local wisdom of the community by manipulating those values by adapting to current needs.

    Students still banned from politics, ministry wants news hushed Malaysiakini.com August 11, 2010 The cabinet has decided against allowing university students to participate in party politics. uum discipline action against student 260209 mohamed khaled nordinHigher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin (right) announced this today, the Star reported this afternoon. This follows the statement by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday that the government would not change its stand against allowing student involvement in politics. Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had also voiced his disagreement with the proposal to amend the Universities and University Colleges Act to this effect. Khaled said the decision, however, did not prevent students from learning about and following political developments. "Section 15 of the Universities and University Colleges Act (AUKU) 1971 is already adequate as students are allowed to be involved in political parties if they obtain permission from their vice-chancellors," the Star reported him as saying. In the latest development, federal government owned Bernama issued a note to editors at 6.30pm stating that Higher Education Ministry has requested the press not to publish any news on this. azlanReacting to the government announcement, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin expressed strong disagreement on Twitter. "(The) cabinet decision not allowing university students to be involved in political parties is gutless and indicates outdated thinking. There," quipped Khairy, who is also BN Youth head. In a follow-up tweet, he said: "Here's a hint for the cabinet: You want the youth vote, start by trusting them." Among those who had expressed support for allowing student involvement in politics were Deputy Education Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.
