    Fireside Chat with YB Lim Guan Eng, Minister of Finance, Malaysia, on the “State of the Nation” 7Th August 2018

    Fireside Chat with YB Lim Guan Eng, Minister of Finance, Malaysia, on the “State of the Nation” 7th August 2018 The Kuala Lumpur Business Club (KLBC) hosted a Fireside Chat with YB Lim Guan Eng, Malaysia’s Minister of Finance, on the “State of the Nation”, on 7th August 2018, at the St Regis hotel in Kuala Lumpur. The Minister opened by giving members an overview of the current fiscal situation in the country and then took questions from the floor. He was as frank and transparent as members expected him to be, offering insights into the government’s thinking. Since the SST bill was still being debated, YB Lim left for Parliament after 40 minutes, leaving us in the capable hands of his special officer, YB Tony Pua. The question and answer session covered the following areas: a) The challenges faced by the current government b) The short, medium, and long-term plans and projects c) Balance sheet d) GST e) Corporate tax f) The investment community g) How can the corporate sector be part of the new game plan? Both the Minister and YB Tony Pua emphasized that Malaysia can and will recover, after a (hopefully brief) period of pain to restore the nation’s coffers. They both suggested that KLBC could be a useful backchannel for the government and the business community, especially on the international front. The Fireside Chat ended on a positive note, leaving members clear that the reform agenda is still very much on and that the consumer and business confidence index remains healthy.

    'Rm1bil Scandal' Claim Malaysiakini.Com July 20, 2012 by Aidila Razak

    DAP to hold two forums over MCA's 'RM1bil scandal' claim MalaysiaKini.com July 20, 2012 By Aidila Razak The DAP will be holding two separate forums on MCA’s claim that the Selangor government was involved in a RM1 billion scandal through the Talam Corporation Bhd debt recovery exercise. According to Selangor DAP treasurer Hannah Yeoh, the forums are to allow MCA deputy minister Chua Tee Yong to explain his claims to the public at first hand. “This is to ensure that the audience is not misled by (DAP publicity chief) Tony Pua as accused by Chua. If requested we will be more than happy to offer a neutral moderator from The Star to ensure that everyone gets a fair opportunity to present their views,” she told reporters today. The first forum will be on July 24 at 7.30pm at the Kuala Lumpur Chinese Assembly Hall, and will be held in the Chinese language. Also to speak at the forum will be Selangor DAP chief Teresa Kok and Pua. The second forum, to be held in Bahasa Malaysia and English, will be at the mutipurpose hall at Jalan SS15/4 on July 25 with Yeoh, Pua and PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli speaking. Commenting on Chua’s recent assertions that he (Pua) failed to read the Permodalan Selangor Nasional Bhd balance sheet properly and did not know how to calculate, Pua said he would love for Chua to attend the forum to “educate” him. “I seriously would appreciate if he can turn up at this forum, so I can pay him tuition fees for him to teach me on how to count and teach me the elements of accountancy.

Malaysia’s Changing Federal-State Relations Kelantan & the PH Government By Najwa Abdullah SYNOPSIS The Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) state government in Kelantan had had difficult relationships with Barisan Nasional (BN) governments in Kuala Lumpur for as long as BN was in power. Will this change under the new Pakatan Harapan (PH) government? COMMENTARY THROUGHOUT THE modern history of Malaysian politics, the state of Kelantan has been unique in many ways, particularly for its distinctive political choice and religious character. Since 1990 when PAS gained control there, Kelantan was continuously portrayed as the ‘disobedient’ state by the federal government during the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional (BN) period. As a result, Kelantan’s relationship with the centre had been fraught with disagreements, particularly over economic development and oil royalty. There had been numerous studies and reports on how the BN government had blocked the allocation of mandatory and discretionary grants and refused to pay the oil royalty to the state government. The BN tactics did not convince the Kelantanese to stop their support for PAS, as reflected by PAS’ victories in Kelantan in the general elections over the years (except in 2004 where Kelantan almost fell to BN).

    Malaysia: the 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania

    Malaysia: the 2020 putsch for Malay Islam supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Many people were surprised by the sudden fall of Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government on 21 February 2020, barely two years after winning the historic May 2018 general elections. This article argues that the fall was largely due to the following factors: the ideology of Ketuanan Melayu Islam (Malay Islam Supremacy); the Mahathir-Anwar dispute; Mahathir’s own role in trying to reduce the role of the non-Malays in the government; and the manufactured fear among the Malay polity that the Malays and Islam were under threat. It concludes that the majority of the Malay population, and the Malay establishment, are not ready to share political power with the non- Malays. Introduction Many people were shocked when the Barisan National (BN or National Front) govern- ment lost its majority in the May 2018 general elections. After all, BN had been in power since independence in 1957 and the Federation of Malaysia was generally regarded as a stable, one-party regime. What was even more remarkable was that the person responsible for Malaysia’s first regime change, Mahathir Mohammad, was also Malaysia’s erstwhile longest serving prime minister. He had headed the BN from 1981 to 2003 and was widely regarded as Malaysia’s strongman. In 2017, he assumed leader- ship of the then-opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH or Alliance of Hope) coalition and led the coalition to victory on 9 May 2018. He is remarkable as well for the fact that he became, at the age of 93, the world’s oldest elected leader.1 The was great hope that Malaysia would join the global club of democracy but less than two years on, the PH government fell apart on 21 February 2020.

    How the Pandemic Is Keeping Malaysia's Politics Messy

    How the Pandemic Is Keeping Malaysia’s Politics Messy Malaysia’s first transfer of power in six decades was hailed as a milestone for transparency, free speech and racial tolerance in the multiethnic Southeast Asian country. But the new coalition collapsed amid an all-too-familiar mix of political intrigue and horse trading. Elements of the old regime were brought into a new government that also proved short-lived. The turmoil stems in part from an entrenched system of affirmative-action policies that critics say fosters cronyism and identity-based politics, while a state of emergency declared due to the coronavirus pandemic has hampered plans for fresh elections. 1. How did this start? Two veteran politicians, Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim, won a surprising election victory in 2018 that ousted then-Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was enmeshed in a massive money-laundering scandal linked to the state investment firm 1MDB. Mahathir, 96, became prime minister again (he had held the post from 1981 to 2003), with the understanding that he would hand over to Anwar at some point. Delays in setting a date and policy disputes led to tensions that boiled over in 2020. Mahathir stepped down and sought to strengthen his hand by forming a unity government outside party politics. But the king pre-empted his efforts by naming Mahathir’s erstwhile right-hand man, Muhyiddin Yassin, as prime minister, the eighth since Malaysia’s independence from the U.K. in 1957. Mahathir formed a new party to take on the government but failed to get it registered.

    Guan Eng Can't Tell Right from Wrong Malaysiakini.Com Feb 5, 2014

    Wanita MCA: Guan Eng can't tell right from wrong MalaysiaKini.com Feb 5, 2014 Wanita MCA chair Heng Seai Kie has taken DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng to task for "defending the indefensible" as the war of words escalates over Seputeh MP Teresa Kok's stirring video work. Heng said Lim was "incapable of differentiating right and wrong" as he could not see the havoc wreaked by Kok's Chinese New Year 11-minute clip, which satires the political situation in the country. Amidst uproar by a few Umno cabinet ministers and police investigations, Lim - who is also Penang chief minister - had said yesterday that he saw "nothing amiss" with the video and considered BN's exaggerated outrage a mere political ploy. But Heng (right) begged to differ, saying that the video published on the Internet on Jan 27 "will not only destroy the country's image, but also affect foreign investment and tourism which will impact the national economy, victimise the rakyat and the nation". "If Lim can spend some time and watch the video and also read the feedback from netizens, he will understand how Kok's video has created controversies and differences among the people, especially between the Malays and Chinese. "Thanks to the video, Kok cannot run away from contributing to the polarisation of the people and jeopardising national unity," Heng stressed in a statement. She damned the video, which features Kok as a talk-show host interviewing a "panel of experts" on what to expect in the Chinese Lunar Year of the Horse.

    Framing Interethnic Conflict in Malaysia: a Comparative Analysis of Newspaper Coverage on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf)

    International Journal of Communication 6 (2012), 166–189 1932–8036/20120166 Framing Interethnic Conflict in Malaysia: A Comparative Analysis of Newspaper Coverage on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) LAI FONG YANG Taylor's University Malaysia MD SIDIN AHMAD ISHAK University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur Despite repeated warnings from the Malaysian government, the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) rally drew thousands of Indians protesting on the streets of Kuala Lumpur on November 25, 2007. Mistreatment of Indians and lack of press coverage of their plight had been commonplace for years. By employing framing as the theoretical framework and content analysis as the research method, this study examines what perspectives newspapers have created that influence citizens’ understanding of the Hindraf movement. Three mainstream newspapers were found to focus on the conflict frame, and their representation of Hindraf articulated a hegemonic discourse that was prejudicial to the interests of the group and contrary to a spirit of democratic inquiry. The dissimilar coverage of the same issue by the alternative newspaper denoted that publication’s varied points of view, which were rooted in different political beliefs, cultural assumptions and institutional practices. Introduction Since gaining independence in 1957, the Malaysian government has viewed interethnic relations as a real challenge to the social stability of the country (Abdul Rahman, 2000; Baharuddin, 2005; Brown, 1994). As early as 1970, Mahathir Mohamad, who was then a medical doctor and later became the fourth and longest-serving prime minister of Malaysia, claimed that there was never true racial harmony in Malaysia. In his much-debated and once-banned book, The Malay Dilemma, he argued that although there was a certain amount of tolerance and accommodation, racial harmony in Malaysia was neither real nor Lai Fong Yang: [email protected] Md Sidin Ahmadd Ishak: [email protected] Date submitted: 2011–06–03 Copyright © 2012 (Lai Fong Yang & Md Sidin Ahmad Ishak).
