The government is expected to brief the Assembly with the recommendation of a study by an international consultant agency proposing raising the prices of petrol, electricity and water as part of a comprehensive reform program. Finance Minister Anas Al-Saleh told reporters the gov- ernment program deals with rationalization of subsidies and economic reforms to stimulate the private sector and national economy as a whole. The minister refused to say if the issue has been settled and the raising of charges is only a matter of time and is awaiting the debate in the Assembly, saying that the issue will be decided along with the Assembly. Saleh said that the difference between Kuwait and other Gulf states, which have taken decisions to raise prices to face the budget deficits, is that the Kuwaiti government has constitutional obligations. HH the Amir last week told editors of local dailies that the government will increase the price of petrol, electrici- ty and water. Saleh also said that the government has cal- culated revenues in next fiscal year’s budget at an oil price of just $25 a barrel, sharply lower than the $45 price adopted in the current fiscal year 2015/2016 which ends on March 31. During an earlier closed door session in parliament, the Assembly also discussed the performance of the KUWAIT: HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al- KUWAIT: Security forces hold a military exercise on Failaka Island yesterday, dubbed “Decisive Kuwait Investment Authority and the conditions of finan- Jaber Al-Sabah welcomes Tunisian President Beji Caid Deterrence 5”, part of interior ministry’s efforts to enhance the performance and preparedness of securi- cial reserves.

In The People’s Victory: How Malaysians Saved Their Country, Kee Thuan Chye tells us the story of a Malaysia reborn. It is the story in which the actors are Malaysians from all walks of life, a political story not limited to the actions and deeds of the politicians. It is the story culminating in Malaysia being reclaimed by the people. On 9th May 2018, as it dawned upon us that Barisan Nasional (BN) will no longer be in power, we, the people, were given a second chance. “A second chance,” Kee tells us, “to restore the rule of law, repair the sullied institutions, unite the different races, work towards prosperity, inculcate positive values, and make Malaysia a great and respectable country” (270). When Kee talks about the people in the book, he is not referring to a group that was readily there waiting for victory to fall into their lap. The people needed to be made. Heterogeneous groups and individuals needed to be brought together into unity. Around what will these groups coalesce in order to articulate a united position? How, ultimately, did they come to represent the people? Asiatic, Vol. 13, No. 1, June 2019 145 The People’s Victory: How Malaysians Saved Their Country Let us ponder on this question from an academic perspective. The answer can be found in Ernesto Laclau’s (2005) theory of populism.
