Malaysia 2019 Human Rights Report
MALAYSIA 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy. It has a parliamentary system of government selected through regular, multiparty elections and is headed by a prime minister. The king is the head of state, serves a largely ceremonial role, and has a five-year term. Sultan Muhammad V resigned as king on January 6 after serving two years; Sultan Abdullah succeeded him that month. The kingship rotates among the sultans of the nine states with hereditary rulers. In 2018 parliamentary elections, the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition defeated the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, resulting in the first transfer of power between coalitions since independence in 1957. Before and during the campaign, then opposition politicians and civil society organizations alleged electoral irregularities and systemic disadvantages for opposition groups due to lack of media access and malapportioned districts favoring the then ruling coalition. The Royal Malaysian Police maintain internal security and report to the Ministry of Home Affairs. State-level Islamic religious enforcement officers have authority to enforce some criminal aspects of sharia. Civilian authorities at times did not maintain effective control over security forces. Significant human rights issues included: reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government or its agents; reports of torture; arbitrary detention; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; reports of problems with -
An Interim Evaluation of Penang's First Bike-Share Scheme
GEOGRAFIA OnlineTM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 15 issue 3 (163-175) © 2019, e-ISSN 2682-7727 https://doi.org/10.17576/geo-2019-1503-12 163 An interim evaluation of Penang’s first bike-share scheme Nadhrah A Kadir, Lim Ghee-Thean, Law Chee Hong School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia Correspondence: Nadhrah A Kadir (email: [email protected]) Received: 23 April 2019; Accepted: 25 July 2019; Published: 22 August 2019 Abstract Bike-sharing schemes are gaining worldwide momentum as a non-motorized transport. The reasons why cities have jumped on the bandwagon of implementing a bike-share system are to reduce traffic congestion, to improve air quality and as an alternative transport option to move around cities. As part of the effort to be “cleaner, greener, healthier and safer,” Penang Island has decided to launch the first bike-share scheme in Penang, making it the first state in Malaysia to ever implement a bike-sharing program with a docking station. While the existing literature on bike-sharing focuses on European and North American cities, less attention is given to experiences in South East Asia, especially small cities in the South East Asia. This paper aims to fill that gap by evaluating the performance of the pioneer of the bike-sharing program in Penang; i.e. the LinkBike. Using the inaugural data from LinkBike’s first annual report, as well as data from personal interviews and grey literature, this paper attempts to understand the performance, opportunities and challenges facing LinkBike in its first year of operation. Essentially, results show that LinkBike was performing quite well considering it was the bike-share pioneer in Penang. -

Malaysia's 13Th General Elections
Introduction: The Electoral System’s Impact on Outcomes 1 Chapter 1 Introduction: The Electoral System’s Impact on Outcomes Johan Saravanamuttu, Lee Hock Guan and Mohamed Nawab Mohamed Osman PREAMBLE Much has occurred on the political stage even within a year after the 13th general election (GE13) on 5 May 2013. In terms of electoral politics, there have been six by-elections at the time of writing; one resulted from the untimely death of Karpal Singh, the veteran Democratic Action Party (DAP) politician, and another from the death of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) Menteri Besar of Kedah. The by-elections were held in Kuala Besut (Terengganu state seat) on 24 July 2013; Sungai Limau (Kedah state seat) on 19 October 2013; Kajang (Selangor state seat) on 23 March 2014; Bukit Gelugor (Penang parliamentary seat) on 25 May 2014; Teluk Intan (Perak parliamentary seat) on 31 May 2014; and Pengkalan Kubor (Kelantan state seat) on 25 September 2014. Barisan Nasional (BN) retained the Kuala Besut seat, thus holding on to its thin two-seat majority in the state. This was to prove a little problematic later when the Menteri Besar of Terengganu and another member of the State Assembly announced that they had resigned from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) in mid-May 2014, although they soon recanted their intention to do so.1 The Kajang by-election was a complex move by the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) to initially provide its leader Anwar Ibrahim with the opportunity to be in the Selangor state government, 1 2 Coalitions in Collision if not even to undertake leadership of the state. -

'DAP's Opposition of Malaysia As an Islamic State'
Political Managements and Policies in Malaysia ‘DAP’s Opposition of Malaysia as an Islamic State’ R. Sivaperegasam P. Rajanthiran Abstract e brave and controversial declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state by YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on the 29 September 2001, was vehemently opposed by the DAP. is paper analyses and explores the justifi cation of the said declaration as well as the pattern and rationale for DAP’s oppositionism. e DAP had specifi cally highlighted and protested via its “929” campaign that YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state was unconstitutional, undemocratic and arbitrary. e DAP party stalwarts maintained that Malaysia was a secular state since Independence and ought to continue remaining so in the best interests of a pluralistic Malaysia. e primary focus of this paper therefore is to identify and discuss the fl aws in the DAP’s said claim, and instead highlight the fact that Malaysia is rightfully an Islamic state from Independence and beyond. YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir’s declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state is the climax of the Islamisation policy conducted throughout to put Malaysia back on the world map as a reputable Islamic state just as how it had been during the days of the pre- colonisation era. Malaysia was declared as an Islamic state by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on the 29 th September, 2001 at the Gerakan national 39 th delegates’ conference with the consensus of all other BN component parties present. ! is brave and controversial declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state by Tun Dr. -
