These appointments are widely seen as political maneuverings by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to solidify his command of support of Dewan Rakyat members, thus ensuring the survival of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government which he currently heads. What could the implications of these appointments be to the governance of public entities, especially in the case of statutory bodies? The practice of political appointments in government-linked entities is longstanding, one in which all ruling parties, past and present, have indulged in, with the difference being that the current administration carries it out in a more conspicuous manner. But, in terms of governance, it is not clear that a blanket ban on political appointments is sufficient as an antidote to the financial irregularities and mismanagement that have plagued many of the public sector entities, particularly since there are well-documented cases implicating top managers who were non-politicians too. Compared to government-linked companies (GLCs), there is also an additional question of shifting policies following a regime change which could result in a deviation from the pursuit of the original mandates. So, in order to better align public and private interests in the management of statutory bodies, public governance reform could be a more sensible starting point.1 This Monitor briefly discusses the recent political appointments in statutory bodies from a governance perspective. It then considers changes in the policy orientation of Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) in three separate administrations. 1. According to OECD, public governance refers to the formal and informal arrangements that determine how public decisions are made and how public actions are carried out, from the perspective of maintaining a country’s constitutional values when facing changing problems and environments. www.ideas.org.my 3 Policy Brief NO. 22 Statutory body appointments dominate It is no surprise to find statutory bodies registering a high number of shake-ups in the top positions which counted Chairman and Board members since the PN took power.

This could suggest an attempt to promote a wider cementing of interests between the political elites, and also a potential cascading effect in the distribution of resources to party loyalists from the top. The Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) stood out with the highest number of shake-ups which saw five new Chairmen being appointed, all of whom are currently public office holders. State development boards KESEDAR (Kelantan) and KETENGAH (Terengganu) are headed by local MP and state party leader respectively. Intriguingly, the absence of UMNO appointee in these development boards and Bersatu’s leadership in KETENGAH in PAS-controlled Terengganu might suggest an undercurrent of inter-party competition for state resources as well as control for the Malay heartland. The high number of political appointments in statutory bodies raises serious concerns about the qualities of public governance. Most statutory bodies are not as exposed to market forces as the GLCs which could act as an external disciplinary mechanism to the senior management team so that decisions made are better aligned with shareholders’ interests. By comparison, the way in which statutory bodies are governed is less transparent and understood since public participation is more muted. Therefore, it is possible that the obscurity of statutory body governance makes it convenient for politicians to intervene and make major decisions such as appointments of Chairman and Board members. In the next section, a brief comparative study between current governance practices in GLC and statutory body (MARA) will be presented using selected OECD guidelines to highlight gaps in governing statutory bodies. 6 Making sense of complexity in statutory body governance: A case study of MARA Policy Brief NO. 22 SOE governance best practices: Comparing GLCs and statutory bodies A 2018 OECD report provided an overview of national practices to professionalise SOE boards of directors in a sample of OECD countries and other developing economies.2 Based on a self-reported questionnaire that was circulated to participating countries, including Malaysia, the report identified common challenges re- lated to SOE ownership and governance, and also shared good practices and recommendations for effective reform.

Photo: AFP * Arnold Puyok is Senior Lecturer in Politics and Government Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Public opinion polls conducted prior to the 16th Sabah state election provided telltale signs of Warisan’s loss of support and impending electoral defeat. • Warisan’s fall from power was mostly due to the party’s inability to address the priority needs of the largely rural Muslim Bumiputera and Kadazandusun voters. • Research fieldwork during the election campaign and post-election analysis reveal that rural Sabah voters are more concerned with bread-and-butter issues, while their partisan loyalties are not steadfast. They are willing to trade their political support for programmes and policies that yield tangible benefits. • The new state government led by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) will face the twin challenges of appeasing increasingly demanding voters and delivering public goods effectively. • As GRS navigates these politically uncertain times, its future in Sabah looks unpromising. 2 ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION In the recent Sabah state election, GRS (Gabungan Rakyat Sabah), comprising BN (Barisan Nasional), PN (Perikatan Nasional) and PBS (Parti Bersatu Sabah), won 38 seats in the state legislative assembly, prevailing over a Warisan-led coalition by a six-seat margin.

  • RIGHTS in REVERSE: One Year Under the Perikatan Nasional Government in Malaysia MARCH 2021 RIGHTS in REVERSE
    RIGHTS IN REVERSE: One year under the Perikatan Nasional government in Malaysia MARCH 2021 RIGHTS IN REVERSE: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Malaysian people have experienced seismic upheavals in the past year. In late February 2020, the ruling Pakatan Harapan government collapsed amid surreptitious political manoeuvring. On 1 March 2020, Malaysia’s King appointed Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as Prime Minister after determining that he commanded the support of a majority of elected MPs under the umbrella of the Perikatan Nasional coalition. The turnover in government marked a political sea change and the abrupt end to the reform agenda of the Pakatan Harapan government. The ascendence of the Perikatan Nasional government coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. The government implemented a strict Movement Control Order (MCO) that severely curtailed travel and social interactions. While the government’s efforts to stymie the spread of the virus have been successful in many respects, authorities have at times applied measures in a discriminatory manner and used the pandemic as an excuse to restrict human rights. This report examines the Perikatan Nasional government’s record on fundamental freedoms during its first year in power. Specifically, the report considers the government’s actions against its obligations to respect, protect, and fulfil the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association. These rights are the focus of ARTICLE 19 and CIVICUS’s work in Malaysia. Last year’s change of government has proven to be a major setback for fundamental freedoms in Malaysia. While the Pakatan Harapan government’s track record on human rights was disappointing in many ways,1 it took some steps to roll back repressive laws and policies and was much more open to engaging with civil society and the human rights community than its predecessor.

    I Will Help Najib Maintain Public Order - Nur Jazlan Bernama July 28, 2015 KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed, who was named deputy home minister in a Cabinet reshuffle today, says he will use the platform to help maintain public order and security. Thanking Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for entrusting him with the portfolio, he said: "I promise to help him maintain public order and enhance the people's trust towards the government. I will also help (the new Deputy Prime Minister) Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. "At the same time, I will resign as chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)," he said in a statement, following the reshuffle. According to him, all the proceedings, including those scheduled in August pertaining to 1Malaysia Development Berhad, would be postponed until the new PAC line-up was appointed at the next Parliamentary session. The member of parliament for Pulai took up the post of deputy home minister, which was previously held by Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar. The Cabinet reshuffle announced by Najib in Putrajaya, among others, saw Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dropped as deputy prime minister and education minister. Meanwhile, Machang MP Datuk Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub, who was named rural and regional development deputy minister, described it as a huge trust which he would try his best to fulfill.

  • MCA in a DILEMMA OVER PARTY and PM Malaysia Today October 13, 2015 by Admin-S
    MCA IN A DILEMMA OVER PARTY AND PM Malaysia Today October 13, 2015 By Admin-s (The Star) – “If you can change the government, I congratulate you. But if you can’t, have you ever thought of the consequences?” he asked. MCA secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan (pic ) has denied that the party has abandoned former president Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik, saying it was torn between qing (familial ties) and li (proper decorum). “It is the greatest strength and also weakness of the Chinese people,” said Ong in his speech during MCA annual general meeting on Sunday. Ong said on Oct 3, Dr Ling had openly called for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to step down, which shocked the party. “Tun Ling has contributed to the Chinese community for decades. Do you think we have no qing with him?” he said. MCA, said Ong, owed Najib li as prime ministers had traditionally opened all of MCA annual general meetings since the days of Tun Tan Siew Sin and was a political partner since independence. Najib was also present to open this year’s meeting before rushing to Jakarta for a discussion with Indonesian President Joko Widodo in the afternoon. Ong pointed out that Najib was a democratically elected Prime Minister and deserved respect and support. As for Dr Ling, Ong said he deserved the party’s respect as a veteran leader. “That is why we did not criticise him. We merely said his statement was not the party’s stance,” he said. The party, said Ong, had to bear the political consequences of this particular decision but chose to meet both obligations of li and qing .

  • Bagaimana Muhyiddin Perkukuh Kuasa Melalui Lantikan GLC
    Bagaimana Muhyiddin perkukuh kuasa melalui lantikan GLC Malaysiakini 11 April 2020 Terence Gomez ULASAN | Telah lebih sebulan sejak Perikatan Nasional (PN) mengambil alih kuasa, namun skala serta skop perubahan di kalangan pengarah dan pengurusan kanan syarikat berkaitan kerajaan (GLC) cukup membingungkan. Kadar perubahan pantas lebih mengejutkan memandangkan lantikan ini dibuat PN yang diketuai oleh perdana menteri dan menteri-menteri kanan yang sebelum ini berada dalam pentadbiran Pakatan Harapan (PH). Satu dimensi teras dunia GLC yang luas di Malaysia ialah menteri kabinet mengawasi pelbagai macam syarikat. Oleh kerana ahli politik yang dilantik untuk jawatan kabinet utama mempunyai pengaruh yang besar terhadap sektor korporat, perlu dijelaskan taklimat sejarah penguasaan GLC baru-baru ini. Kementerian di dalam perniagaan Sebelum pilihan raya umum 2018 yang menempa sejarah itu, PH di bawah kepimpinan Dr Mahathir Mohamad, telah berjanji untuk mereformasikan GLC. Ikrar ini penting kerana perdana menteri ketika itu, Najib Razak, dalam tugasannya sebagai menteri kewangan mempunyai kawalan efektif terhadap GLC utama di Malaysia. Penumpuan kuasa politik dan korporat di tangan menteri perdana menteri yang menjadi menteri kewangan itu didakwa menyumbang kepada penyalahgunaan serius terhadap institusi berasaskan perniagaan, termasuk 1MDB, Tabung Haji dan Mara. Di bawah pentadbiran Najib, empat kementerian utama mempunyai pengaruh korporat yang besar - Pejabat Perdana Menteri (PMO), Kementerian Kewangan, Kementerian Pembangunan Luar Bandar dan Kementerian Pembangunan Usahawan. Apabila PH mengambil alih kuasa, perdana menteri Dr Mahathir ketika itu telah mewujudkan Kementerian Hal Ehwal Ekonomi. GLC berasaskan bumiputera yang penting telah dipindahkan ke Kementerian Hal Ehwal Ekonomi, memberi menterinya, pemimpin PKR pada waktu itu, Azmin Ali pengaruh besar ke atas segmen sektor korporat ini.
