Wanita Umno Pledges Support for Najib Razak Free Malaysia Today December 7, 2015 by FMT Reporters
Wanita Umno pledges support for Najib Razak Free Malaysia Today December 7, 2015 By FMT Reporters The wing’s chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil says their support for Najib as PM and Umno president is “solid.” KUALA LUMPUR: Wanita Umno has pledged its solid support for Najib Razak as the country’s leader and their party’s president. Making this pledge ahead of the party’s annual general assembly tomorrow was the wing’s chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil who said, “For our motion on politics, I would like to state clearly that Wanita Umno will support the leadership of Datuk Seri Najib as Umno president and Prime Minister.” Besides making an official declaration of their support during the wing’s assembly this Wednesday, they will also propose motions on education, religion and the economy, The Star Online reported Sharizat as saying yesterday after chairing the Wanita Umno political bureau meeting at the party headquarters here. “We are solid in our support for Najib, and our support has never wavered,” she said. She also was in support of the somewhat drastic decision this year for the party’s various wings to have their own chiefs declare their respective assemblies open as opposed to having the Umno deputy president officiate. She said she had discussed the matter with the heads of the other wings i.e. Youth and Puteri and both Khairy Jamaluddin and Mas Ermieyati Samsudin were in agreement with the decision as well. “We took into account and noted the political scenario that existed today. We feel that this is the best way, so let the heads of the wings be the ones to open their assemblies.” Copyright (C) 2009-2015 MToday News Sdn.

A Complicated Political Reality Awaits the Malays
ISSUE: 2019 No. 40 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 21 May 2019 A Complicated Political Reality Awaits the Malays Norshahril Saat* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • After its impressive electoral triumph in the 2018 general election, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition suffered three back-to-back by-election defeats at the hand of the Barisan Nasional (BN) in 2019 in Peninsular Malaysia. • Opposition parties UMNO and PAS cooperated and won in the Cameron Highland, Semenyih, and Rantau by-elections. Issues concerning Malay rights, the institution of the Malay rulers, and the role of Islam were central to their campaign. • This paper examines whether PH’s recent poor showing in Peninsular Malaysia manifests a decline in support, particularly among the Malays. It argues that although the by-election results are not representative of sentiments across Malaysia, they demonstrate how the opposition can thwart PH’s reform efforts by playing up issues concerning Malay identity. • The emerging discourse serves as a reminder to the PH government that while it seeks to reform the economy, settle the country’s debt, and reform institutions, it has to deal with the disgruntled Malay ground. Still, PH’s pragmatic and ideologically ambiguous coalition may serve its purpose in the long run, especially in a more diverse Malaysia not only divided by race, but by class as well. *Norshahril Saat is Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. He is Principal Investigator for the SSRTG project entitled “Singapore Islamic Studies Graduates: Discourse and Impact”. He is also the author of The State, Ulama and Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia (Amsterdam University Press and ISEAS, 2018) 1 ISSUE: 2019 No.

The Umno-Pas Informal Pact in Malaysia's
Journal of Advance Research in Social Science & Humanities ISSN: 2208-2387 THE UMNO-PAS INFORMAL PACT IN MALAYSIA’S FOURTEENTH GENERAL ELECTION: THE GOOD PLAN THAT WENT WRONG Nik Mawardi Mohamed 1 Kamarul Zaman Haji Yusoff Rusdi Omar School of Government College of Law, Government and International Studies Universiti Utara Malaysia ABSTRACT: The Malaysian ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional (BN), seemed to have a hard time facing the fourteenth General Election (GE) in 2018 that its Chairman cum Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, was widely reported as early as 2015 to be deeply embroiled in a major financial scandal involving Malaysian Government’s investment arm, 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), with allegations that billions were diverted from that company for personal usage of Najib, his family members and his cronies. The allegation that Najib received a mysterious RM2.6 billion payment into his personal bank account, which was initially revealed by the the Sarawak Report, followed by the more reputable Wall Street Journal, was particularly very damaging. It led to the removal of the Attorney General (AG), who headed a special task force to investigate it, besides the removal of three senior UMNO leaders, who were highly critical of it, from their government and party posts. During this time, the opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat (PR), was having trouble due to the uneasiness of PAS over the attempt by PKR to replace its Menteri Besar of Selangor with its de facto leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, via a forced Kajang by- election, without consulting PAS first. The trouble became greater after Najib’s own Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office assured PAS that the Federal Government would give way for Kelantan to implement hudud, prompting PAS to submit a Private Member’s Bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 to the Parliament, which resulted in the eventual dissolution of PR.
