LAST RITES: Tamrin Ghafar (Left) and Sally Ghafar (Right) Joining in The PETALING JAYA: Full national honours marked the final jour- ney of former Deputy Prime Minister and one of Malaysia's- well-loved political leaders Tun Ghafar Baba, who was laid to rest at the Heroes' Mau- soleum in Masjid Negara, Kua- la Lumpur, yesterday. Late afternoon sunlight fil- tered through the leafy sur- roundings of the mosque as Ghafar's body was lowered into the grave. Ghafar, 81, who died at 7.35am yesterday, was accord- ed a state funeral in recogni- tion of his contributions to the country. It was a fitting tribute to the Malay leader who began life as an impoverished village boy, became a teacher, partook in the independence struggle, joined Umno and rose to be- come first Malacca Chief Mi- nister, then Cabinet Minister and finally deputy prime min- ister. He was laid to rest alongside Tun Abdul Razak Hussein and Tun Hussein Onn (respectively Malaysia's second and third Prime Ministers) and former Deputy Prime Minister Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman.

My name is Annah Bachman and I have the honor of serving as your Crisis Director. I am a third year Political Science and Philosophy double major here at UNC-Chapel Hill and have been involved with MUNCH since my freshman year. I’ve previously served as a staffer for the Democratic National Committee and as the Crisis Director for the Security Council for past MUNCH conferences. This past fall semester I studied at the National University of Singapore where my idea of the Malaysian Parliament in 1965 was formed. Through my experience of living in Singapore for a semester and studying its foreign policy, it has been fascinating to see how the “traumatic” separation of Singapore has influenced its current policies and relations with its surrounding countries. Our committee is going back in time to just before Singapore’s separation from the Malaysian peninsula to see how ethnic and racial tensions, trade policies, and good old fashioned diplomacy will unfold. Delegates should keep in mind that there is a difference between Southeast Asian diplomacy and traditional Western diplomacy (hint: think “ASEAN way”).

  • A Study on Interruptions by the Chairperson in the Dewan Rakyat
    ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PARLIAMENT OF MALAYSIA: A STUDY ON INTERRUPTIONS BY THE CHAIRPERSON IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Bonn vorgelegt von Nor Azura binti A Rahman aus Johor, Malaysia Bonn 2021 Gedruckt mit der Genehmigung der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Zusammensetzung der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Stephan Conermann (Vorsitzende/Vorsitzender) Prof. Dr. Christoph Antweiler (Betreuerin/Betreuer und Gutachterin/Gutachter) Prof. Dr. Claudia Derichs (Gutachterin/Gutachter) Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26 November 2020 i ABSTRACT The election of the chairman of the House of Representatives, a chamber of the Malaysian parliament, has always been determined by the ruling party. The centralization of executive power has also absorbed the function of the chairman, so that the chairman acts partisanly in parliamentary debates. Also, the chairman has developed into an institution that carries out agenda-setting within the framework of the parliament. This raises the conceptual question of whether legislation in Malaysia is still performed independently by the parliament. The observed patterns require an attempt to re-conceptualize the roles as well as the assigned meaning of various expressions of parliamentary routine, including those that are unwritten and informal, for instance those which can also be termed “subjective forms of rule” at one's own discretion. In my doctoral thesis, I apply an interdisciplinary analytical framework that relates to accountability studies, as well as micro- sociological direct interaction, the interpretations of procedural interactions in conversation, as well as studies of political discretion in parliamentary operations. My main research question asks how the Speaker of Parliament fulfils his responsibilities by disrupting ongoing parliamentary debates.

  • Malaysia's Leadership Role in Asean
    Journal of International Studies Vol. 14, 65-79 (2018) Malaysia’s Leadership Role in Asean: An Assessment 1Siti Darwinda Mohamed Pero & Laila Suriya Ahmad Apandi School of International Studies Universiti Utara Malaysia, Malaysia 1Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 5 June 2018 Revised: 11 August 2018 Accepted: 30 December 2018 Abstract There has been perpetual controversy regarding the leadership of ASEAN, that is complicated and hitherto been a cause for concern. The largest and most populated country in Southeast Asia is Indonesia, and has been regarded as the de facto leader in ASEAN for its influence to spur progress within the organization. However, this does not undermine the role of the other four founding members of ASEAN, specifically Singapore, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia. Singapore has been considered the leader of ASEAN in the economic realm, championing and pushing forward economic agendas of the organization and its member-states. Moreover, the Philippines have been a strong advocate in promoting and enhancing the socio-cultural development within the organization. Conversely, the role of Malaysia in ASEAN has been scholarly neglected. This study seeks to fill the gaps by analysing the role of Malaysia in ASEAN since 1967, and propose that Malaysia has had a significant degree of influence within the organisation. By incorporating document analysis, this study presents the findings on Malaysia’s pivotal role in ASEAN. The results conclude that Malaysia was and is still a key leader in the organization and the country should continue to exercise its prerogative for the benefit of its national interest, in addition to maintaining peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

  • Malays and Non-Malays: a Historical Overview on Ethnic Diversity and Nation Building in Malaysia
    Journal of Education and Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1, (October) ISSN 2289-1552 2017 MALAYS AND NON-MALAYS: A HISTORICAL OVERVIEW ON ETHNIC DIVERSITY AND NATION BUILDING IN MALAYSIA Anuar Ahmad1 Nur Atiqah Tang Abdullah2 ABSTRACT In Malaysia, scholarly interpretations of ethnic identities have been simultaneously challenged and enriched by modifications in both theoretical orientations and shifting social realities. Although social class theorists challenged such ethnic interpretations of Malaysian society; arguing that a focus on ethnic categorizations disguised and drew attention away from the underlying repressive class division, evidence from ethnographic research suggested that the perception and reality of ethnic divisions for people of all social classes continued to decisively shape and define the most basic social, economic, and political experiences of Malaysian life. Hence, this paper is carried out with the objective of discussing the ethnic diversity and its basis for nation building in Malaysia. Keywords: Politics, Socio-Economy, Ethnicity, Nation building Introduction Managing an ethnic diverse country is a challenge. America, Australia and Great Britain are also multi-racial societies, but the migrants have assimilated. In Malaysia, the preferred policy is integration with each communal group preserving its own culture, language and customs. National unity as a concept and a goal has been predominant theme in all of Malaysia’s development plans, but its realization and actualization seem to remain elusive. Even today, when Malaysia has celebrated its 60th year of independence, the subject of national unity is still broached and much discussed. It is indicated clearly in the Ninth Malaysia Plan 2006-2010,3 that is ‘to narrow the economic disparities between ethnic groups and within each ethnic group’, which is a statement to denote that national unity is possible only when economic disparities between ethnic groups are narrowed down.

  • CHAPTER 3: OVERVIEW of POLITICAL EVENTS and NATIONAL BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS in MALAYSIA the Focus of This Research Study Is On
    CHAPTER 3: OVERVIEW OF POLITICAL EVENTS AND NATIONAL BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS IN MALAYSIA The focus of this research study is on the impact of political events and national budget announcement on the local stock market. For the purpose of this project, a set of 38 discrete political events with different dates of occurrence which cover a time period of three decades starting from 1981 have been selected. Though a longer perspective is useful in providing a broader view of the picture, this study will not cover events prior to 1981, except for occasional reference and summary during the analysis. The scope of the selected political news is limited to government-oriented announcements which can be broadly categorized into six major types: Dissolutions of the Parliament, General Elections, party elections, the changing of administration leadership, the reshuffle of cabinet and extraordinary political events. This study, however, does not include news from the opposition party. The second part of the research will be dealing with the national budget announcements which broadly include some of the major information such as the country's GDP, balance of payment, fiscal policy, and tax policy. Fifteen years of national budget from 1998 to 2011 have been collected for testing and analysis on their impact on the Malaysian market reactions. 38 3.1 Political events from 1981—1990 The first event of this study dates back to 15 May 1981 when Hussein Onn, the then Prime Minister of Malaysia, first announced his intention to resign due to health problem (Mean, 1991) and would pass the Premiership to Mahathir Mohamad.
