How Pakatan Can Lead Nation to Non-Racial Politics Malaysiakini.Com June 28, 2012 by Boo Cheng Hau
How Pakatan can lead nation to non-racial politics MalaysiaKini.com June 28, 2012 By Boo Cheng Hau COMMENT BN may wish to keep on denying this but we can't escape the fact that it is the BN's divisive politics that has made our society into one so racially charged. In the Umno-led coalition government of 13 race-based parties, ‘Malay nationalism' and dominance is touted as the only alternative to national unity. But is it really so? Can't we have another alternative? Under the purview of Umno's Malay nationalism, other races in the country are forced to form political parties along racial lines. If the dominant majority race insists on its brand of nationalism, wouldn't it be a natural development for other minority races to claim their each and separate nationalisms as well? Can our national unity be actually based upon racial politics along ‘separate nationalisms' or ‘political tribalism' which is how the late Yale University professor Leonard Thompson termed it in describing South Africa's apartheid? Do we want a single nation? Or do we want many divisive nations within our country? There can be no genuine national unity if the powers-that-be keep proclaiming nationalism based on the dominant race ideology to the exclusion of all else. British colonialists have long left the country but how far have we moved forward in terms of genuine national unity? Some senior Umno politicians and their ideologues have blamed poor national unity on the various streams of education while they are themselves unable to dissolve their own race-based political parties to be replaced by a pan-Malaysian party. -
DAP Moves to Ease Fears Over Islamic State Malaysiakini.Com January 21, 2011
DAP moves to ease fears over Islamic state Malaysiakini.com January 21, 2011 Following attempts by Umno and MCA to intimidate Chinese voters in Tenang with PAS' Islamic state agenda, DAP is moving to allay such fears, stressing that PAS is now a party that fights for all ethnic groups. "MCA is sleeping, thinking that it is still 1999 when people were afraid of an Islamic state. In fact, PAS is now talking about a welfare state and its battles for the benefit of all races," Johor DAP chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau said at a DAP dinner in Labis last night. "Umno is the one still talking racial politics. We don't call our home minister Hishammuddin (Hussein), we call him Kerismuddin because he always brandishes the keris." Besides Boo, other DAP leaders expressed their support for PAS at the RM50 a head fund-raising dinner attended by some 800 passionate Chinese supporters, where DAP also raised another RM4,555 in on-the-spot donations. DAP Rasah MP Anthony Loke rebutted MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek's statement earlier that Chinese who voted for PAS would be sending the Malay community the message that they were willing to accept the country as an Islamic state. "We will vote for PAS on Jan 30 for a fair and corruption-free government, not for an Islamic state. We vote to change the government, not merely for PAS, nor an Islamic state," Loke (right) said. The party youth chief then turned aggressive: "If we vote for Umno, it means that we accept Umno's continued oppression of us and allow the party to continue its extreme racial statements and behaviour." Islamic state is not Pakatan common policy His statement was echoed by DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang, who pointed out that Penang, Selangor and Perak, which are ruled by Pakatan Rakyat, have not turned into Islamic states. -

DAP To Contest 6 Parliamentary, 14 State Seats In Johor Bernama 17 April, 2013 JOHOR BAHARU, April 17 (Bernama) - The DAP will contest 6 parliamentary seats and 14 state assembly seats in Johor during the 13th general election (GE13). Announcing this Wednesday, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang said the party will field ten new faces for state assembly seats and one new face for parliamentary seat. Kit Siang, who will contest Gelang Patah parliamentary seat said the DAP will field a Malay candidate, Mahdzir Ibrahim, in Tanjung Piai parliamentary seat. "Our candidates can trigger a political tsunami in Johor and Malaysia," he told a press conference to announce the DAP canddiate list for Johor flanked by Johor DAP chairman Dr Boo Cheng Hau. Dr Boo who will defend Skudai state seat said the party was confident of winning at least one parliamentary seat and half of the 14 state seats contested. "The selection of candidates was made after discussion with all parties," he said, adding that the candidate for Labis parliamentary seat will be announced soon. Among the DAP big names who will contest in Johor are strategist Liew Chin Tong (Kluang) and Teo Nie Ching (Kulai). In 2008, Liew contested in Bukit Bendera while Teo contested in Serdang. Mahdzir, 37, said he was the coordinator of DAP internal bulletin Roketkini together with central committee member Zairil Khir Johari. The Batu Pahat born denied that the DAP was "anti-Malay" and "anti-Islam " as often claimed by Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN). Asked about his chances of winning the Tanjung Piai seat, he said the Malay voters could accept DAP if given a clear explanation about the party's struggle. -
What Lies Ahead for Malaysian Healthcare? Lee Poh Onn ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute E-Mail: [email protected]
No. 2015-4 What Lies Ahead for Malaysian Healthcare? Lee Poh Onn ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute E-mail: [email protected] ISEAS Economics Working Paper December 2015 Abstract Healthcare in Malaysia has been characterised by a strong public sector presence where government hospitals and clinics acted as a primary source of care. The healthcare system has also been lauded as a model for other developing countries to follow as it has succeeded in improving the health status of Malaysians over time. With the rising costs of healthcare over the last three decades, the government is now facing increasing pressures to restructure its healthcare system. Social healthcare insurance, corporatisation, and privatisation have been increasingly seen as possible measures to supplement the current healthcare system dominated by the public sector. In Malaysia, the involvement of government-linked companies in the private healthcare sector has, however, raised conflict-of-interest issues. Political economy factors will continue to play out; the private sector will continue to play an increasingly important role in the provision of healthcare while a long-awaited social healthcare insurance plan takes shape. Ultimately, clear rules of governance, regulations, and transparency have to be put in place to ensure that standards are maintained, conflict-of-interest issues are checked, and that healthcare continues to remain accessible.

Avoid Complacency, Barisan Parties Told (NST 19/10/1998)
19/10/1998 Avoid complacency, Barisan parties told JOHOR BARU, Sun. - Barisan Nasional component parties have been urged to have their election machinery ready as the Opposition parties are out to deny the coalition a two-thirds majority in the next general election. BN secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Rahmat also called on component parties not to be complacent, in view of the losses suffered by the coalition in recent by-elections. "We lost in the Teluk Intan and Arau by-elections. With the existing economic and political problems, the Opposition, especially the DAP, think they can win more seats. "Even Pas, which won the Arau by-election, thinks that the existing political climate favours them. They are all out to win more seats as they regard their achievement in the Arau by-election a good indicator. "Despite these setbacks, BN remains strong and stable," he told reporters after attending Deepavali celebrations at `Little India' in Jalan Ungku Puan last night. Mohamed, who is Information Minister, said the BN was confident of retaining the two-thirds majority as the people were satisfied with its efforts to steer the country out of the economic problems. In Kuala Lumpur, Gerakan today said the party concurred with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad that the BN would still be able to form the Government in the next general election, although with a smaller majority. Gerakan president Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik said the economic situation and the sacking of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim might have some effect on the election results. -

While not necessarily at odds, these dual commitments nonetheless provide legal and symbolic resources for activists to advance contending visions for their states and societies. Using the case study of Malaysia, Constituting Religion examines how these legal arrangements enable litigation and feed the construction of a “rights-versus-rites binary” in law, politics, and the popular imagination. By drawing on extensive primary source material and tracing controversial cases from the court of law to the court of public opinion, this study theorizes the “judicialization of religion” and examines the radiating effects of courts on popular legal and religious consciousness. The book docu- ments how legal institutions catalyze ideological struggles that stand to redefine the nation and its politics. Probing the links between legal pluralism, social movements, secularism, and political Islamism, Constituting Religion sheds new light on the con- fluence of law, religion, politics, and society.
