  • Malaysia's 14Th General Election Mahathir Returns to Power
    Malaysia’s 14th General Election Mahathir Returns to Power May 10th, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In an outcome that surprised everyone, the opposition coalition led by Dr Mahathir Mohamad won the majority of the Parliamentary seats, enabling him to form the next Federal Government. Mahathir’s Pakatan Harapan (PH) or Coalition of Hope together with a Sabah opposition party won 121 of the 222 Parliamentary seats. The outgoing government coalition, National Front (BN) won only 79 seats. The Islamist party, Pan Malaysia Islamic Party (PAS) won 18 seats. The remaining four seats were won by independent candidates and another small opposition party. At the state level, PH now controls five out of the 13 state governments. PH may end up with as many as seven states once the process of forming state governments is completed. The transition process at the Federal level is likely to be smooth with Mahathir acknowledging the role of the head of the civil service in managing the transfer of power. In the coming weeks, it is very likely that the new Federal administration will focus on ensuring a smooth and orderly transition. THE TRANSITION PROCESS Barring any mass defection of PH Members of Parliament, Mahathir is likely to be sworn in as the Prime Minister in the coming days. As expected, the swearing in ceremony has been delayed for unknown reasons. Following his swearing in as the Prime Minister, Mahathir will negotiate with other PH parties on distribution of Cabinet positions. The slow process in Cabinet appointments is unlikely to cause major disruptions to essential services as the government machinery is operated by career civil servants who are not affected by electoral politics.

  • The Impact of Restructuring on Sunway College Kuala Lumpur Employees
    ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE: THE IMPACT OF RESTRUCTURING ON SUNWAY COLLEGE KUALA LUMPUR EMPLOYEES Noorwati Ismail Asreen Ayumi Abdullah Sani Ernee Zolkafle Reem Abbas AbuBaker Graduate School of Management, International Islamic University of Malaysia ABSTRACT Organisational change could affect the organisation positively or negatively. Apart from the management, employees are also affected with the changes. In the case of Sunway College Kuala Lumpur (SCKL), the organisational restructuring involves an establishment of new companies where the employees are realigned and transferred to different companies. The purpose of this case study is to identify the issues faced by the SCKL employees after the restructuring and how the management is handling these issues. The information is gathered through in-depth interviews with the employees under SCKL and Sunway Education Group Sdn Bhd, as well as the students who are under the Australian University Programme. Based on the findings, the management perceives the issues raised by the employees as mere perception, and instead claims that the restructuring has actually had a positive impact. We have further analysed the issues and integrated our findings with the management theories discussed in the Organizational Behaviour and Leadership course. However, we note that the information collected is prone to bias due to the limited number of respondents interviewed. COMPANY BACKGROUND Sunway Education Group (SEG) aspires to be the international education hub in Malaysia, one that the nation and Sunway students and staff can be proud of. As one of the pioneers of private education in Malaysia, it has helped transform the landscape of education in Malaysia and create benchmarks many others in the local industry have emulated.
