This has drawn greater attention to the region and to the enhanced role it now plays in international relations and global economics. The sustained effort made by Southeast Asian nations since 1967 towards a peaceful and gradual integration of their economies has had indubitable success, and perhaps as a consequence of this, most of these countries are undergoing deep political and social changes domestically and are constructing innovative solutions to meet new international challenges. Big Power tensions continue to be played out in the neighbourhood despite the tradition of neutrality exercised by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The Trends in Southeast Asia series acts as a platform for serious analyses by selected authors who are experts in their fields. It is aimed at encouraging policymakers and scholars to contemplate the diversity and dynamism of this exciting region.

By Tricia Yeoh EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • When the Pakatan Harapan (PH) federal government fell in February 2020, PH also lost control over the states of Johor, Malacca, Perak and Kedah. In Sabah, PH-aligned Warisan was replaced by the PN-aligned United Alliance of Sabah. • PH maintained its hold on three states—Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan. Selangor’s position is of unique interest, given the largest share of PH assemblypersons comprising members from the People’s Justice Party (Parti Keadilan Rakyat, or PKR), the party which has faced significant elite splits in 2020. • The present stability of PH’s survival in Selangor can be accounted for by the sheer majority it possesses within the legislative assembly, comprising forty-one out of fifty-six state seats. Unless a significant share of assemblypersons were to defect, the change in state government would be highly unlikely. • PH built a strong base in Selangor during its time in power over more than a decade, securing performative legitimacy and rooting itself strongly within the community. • PH has benefited from the highly urbanized and educated demographic profile of Selangor. However, the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has likely changed the landscape, which may in turn affect how constituents will now respond to goodies offered by the federal government. • Although PH in Selangor has survived the national storm, its future performance remains uncertain. This year’s political realignment, public opinion towards PN and the 2018 redelineation exercise where the number of Malay-majority seats has grown may hamper PH’s ability to maintain its strong margin. 21-J07406 01 Trends_2021-03.indd 7 19/1/21 10:14 AM • The political fragmentation that continues to unfold will see further party and coalitional realignment, which will invariably impact PH’s strength in Selangor. 21-J07406 01 Trends_2021-03.indd 8 19/1/21 10:14 AM Will Pakatan Harapan’s Hold on Selangor Continue? By Tricia Yeoh1 INTRODUCTION The Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition rose to power at the federal level in the 14th general election in May 2018 upon defeating the longstanding dominant and authoritarian Barisan Nasional (BN), only to fall less than twenty-two months after its prime minister Mahathir Mohamad resigned. This led to the appointment of Muhyiddin Yassin as the country’s eighth prime minister. Since 1 March 2020, when the newly formed political coalition Perikatan Nasional (PN) took over the federal government, there has been unprecedented political instability, anomalous for a country that had only ever experienced the BN rule up to 2018. This resulted in changes in several states, with PH losing Johor, Malacca, Perak and Kedah2 as well. The Sabah state election also saw PH-aligned 1 Tricia Yeoh is Visiting Research Fellow at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore.

The author thanks Francis Hutchinson and Lee Hwok Aun for their comments and feedback, and Yohannan Nair, Aiman Caezar and Cash Looi for data assistance. 2 More specifically, the Johor state government fell when eleven members of Bersatu switched sides and one member of PKR defected as a PN-supporting independent. Chong Fatt Full, a state legislative assemblyperson, defected from PKR to become an independent. He was then sworn in as part of the new Johor state government’s Executive Council (Exco), now led by Perikatan Nasional (Straits Times, 6 March 2020). The Malacca state government fell after Bersatu’s two state assemblypersons left the PH coalition, and one state assemblyperson from PKR and DAP respectively left their parties. The Perak state government fell after the Bersatu Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) pledged support to PN and there was a series of changes in party affiliation: a PKR assemblyperson and 1 21-J07406 01 Trends_2021-03.indd 1 19/1/21 10:14 AM Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) being voted out of power, to be replaced by the PN-aligned United Alliance of Sabah. The three PH-led states of Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan have remained stable, however, and have survived the national-level storm. Selangor’s situation is of particular interest. Of the original fifty seats that PH had, twenty-one were held by People’s Justice Party (Parti Keadilan Rakyat, PKR). Given that former Menteri Besar Azmin Ali was one of the chief architects behind the Sheraton Move in February 2020 that led to the installation of the PN government, it was widely expected that this would cause some instability within PKR, which would in turn affect the Selangor state government’s own position. Yet ten months later, the Selangor state government continues unwaveringly in the midst of the national political turmoil. Selangor did experience several defections: four PKR assemblypersons defected to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu)3 and four of the five Bersatu assemblypersons although no longer part of the PH coalition (after Bersatu left PH) have continued to be PH-friendly independents as “followers of Tun” (Mahathir),4 with the exception of Selangor Bersatu UMNO assemblyperson joined Bersatu (Malaysiakini, 9 March 2020), and two assembypersons from DAP and one from Amanah defected from their parties. Paul Yong from DAP defected to be a PN-friendly independent, Sivasubramaniam from DAP defected to Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Gerakan), and Hasnul from Amanah defected to Bersatu. Finally, the Kedah state government fell after two assemblypersons defected from PKR to Bersatu. These were Robert Ling Kui Ee and Azman Nasrudin. Although there were two Bersatu assemblypersons who defected to join Mahathir’s newly formed Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang), Bersatu maintained its count of six assemblypersons within Kedah due to the above two defections.

  • Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr
    Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr. Kelvin Yii, Member of Parliament for Bandar Kuching I thank you for your questions and your efforts in increasing registration among people in your respective constituencies. I will take your questions in turn below. 1. What is the geographical distribution of those above 60 who have yet to register for the COVID19 vaccine? Currently, registration for those above 60 stands at 40.1%. It ranges from 56.8% in Putrajaya, to 22.9% in Sabah. For States with low registration numbers such as in Sabah, Kelantan (25.1%), Terengganu (29.4%), Kedah (30.9%) and Pahang (31.5%), we are working with MKN, NADMA and the state governments on an outreach programme to encourage people to register, particularly for senior citizens. The outreach programme is not only to help them register for PICK but also to convince them on why it is important for people their age to be vaccinated against COVID-19. We also assure them that the vaccines are safe, effective and if they have any religious concerns, we also reassure them that the vaccines are halal. We are also working with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development to register and vaccinate residents and caregivers at elderly care homes. Mobile vaccination teams will be sent to the care homes to vaccinate on site. 2. What steps have been taken to work with state governments in order to increase the vaccine registration rate? I have spoken to all Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers virtually over the last month and a half.

  • 1 27 September 2012 Open Letter to HE Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato
    27 September 2012 Open letter to H.E. Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Najib Abdul Razak; Honorable Chief Minister of Penang State Government Mr. Lim Guan Eng; Honorable Chief Minister of Selangor State Government Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, On the occasion of the global celebration of International Right to Know Day, on 28 September, we, the undersigned organisations, would like to highlight that access to information is a crucial part of an enabling environment in which the public and civil society organisations can participate in decision-making, and the media can report in the public interest and scrutinise wrongdoing and corruption in the public sector. It is, as a result, a key part of a sound development program, as well as being a human right. We are writing to ask the Federal Barisan Nasional coalition to make an election commitment, in the upcoming general elections, to adopt right to information legislation as soon as possible. The right to information has been recognised internationally as a fundamental human right and it is therefore incumbent on all countries to adopt legislation giving effect to it. To date, more than 90 countries around the world have adopted right to information legislation, affirming the global recognition of this fundamental human right, as enshrined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We are very concerned that the Barisan Nasional government has persistently rejected calls to enact such a law and has instead systematically targeted whistleblowers and individuals who have sought to expose wrongdoing and corruption in the public sector. The government’s persistent denial of this right is putting its credibility and popularity increasingly at risk.

  • Case Study Women in Politics: Reflections from Malaysia
    International IDEA, 2002, Women in Parliament, Stockholm (http://www.idea.int). This is an English translation of Wan Azizah, “Perempuan dalam Politik: Refleksi dari Malaysia,” in International IDEA, 2002, Perempuan di Parlemen: Bukan Sekedar Jumlah, Stockholm: International IDEA, pp. 191-202. (This translation may vary slightly from the original text. If there are discrepancies in the meaning, the original Bahasa-Indonesia version is the definitive text). Case Study Women in Politics: Reflections from Malaysia Wan Azizah Women constitute half of humanity, and it follows that any decision-making, whether at the personal, family, societal or public levels, should be mindful of and involve the participation of women in the making of those decisions. Women’s political, social and economic rights are an integral and inseparable part of their human rights. Democracy is an inclusive process, and therefore in a functioning democracy, the points of view of different interest groups must be taken into account in formulating any decision. The interest and opinions of men, women and minorities must be part of that decision-making process. Yet far from being included in the decision-making process, women find themselves under-represented in political institutions. Numerous challenges confront women entering politics. Among them are lack of party support, family support and the "masculine model" of political life. Many feel that Malaysian society is still male dominated, and men are threatened by the idea of women holding senior posts. In the political sphere this is compounded by the high premium placed on political power. This makes some men even less willing to share power with women.
