My name is Annah Bachman and I have the honor of serving as your Crisis Director. I am a third year Political Science and Philosophy double major here at UNC-Chapel Hill and have been involved with MUNCH since my freshman year. I’ve previously served as a staffer for the Democratic National Committee and as the Crisis Director for the Security Council for past MUNCH conferences. This past fall semester I studied at the National University of Singapore where my idea of the Malaysian Parliament in 1965 was formed. Through my experience of living in Singapore for a semester and studying its foreign policy, it has been fascinating to see how the “traumatic” separation of Singapore has influenced its current policies and relations with its surrounding countries. Our committee is going back in time to just before Singapore’s separation from the Malaysian peninsula to see how ethnic and racial tensions, trade policies, and good old fashioned diplomacy will unfold. Delegates should keep in mind that there is a difference between Southeast Asian diplomacy and traditional Western diplomacy (hint: think “ASEAN way”).

  • A Study on Interruptions by the Chairperson in the Dewan Rakyat
    ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PARLIAMENT OF MALAYSIA: A STUDY ON INTERRUPTIONS BY THE CHAIRPERSON IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Bonn vorgelegt von Nor Azura binti A Rahman aus Johor, Malaysia Bonn 2021 Gedruckt mit der Genehmigung der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Zusammensetzung der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Stephan Conermann (Vorsitzende/Vorsitzender) Prof. Dr. Christoph Antweiler (Betreuerin/Betreuer und Gutachterin/Gutachter) Prof. Dr. Claudia Derichs (Gutachterin/Gutachter) Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26 November 2020 i ABSTRACT The election of the chairman of the House of Representatives, a chamber of the Malaysian parliament, has always been determined by the ruling party. The centralization of executive power has also absorbed the function of the chairman, so that the chairman acts partisanly in parliamentary debates. Also, the chairman has developed into an institution that carries out agenda-setting within the framework of the parliament. This raises the conceptual question of whether legislation in Malaysia is still performed independently by the parliament. The observed patterns require an attempt to re-conceptualize the roles as well as the assigned meaning of various expressions of parliamentary routine, including those that are unwritten and informal, for instance those which can also be termed “subjective forms of rule” at one's own discretion. In my doctoral thesis, I apply an interdisciplinary analytical framework that relates to accountability studies, as well as micro- sociological direct interaction, the interpretations of procedural interactions in conversation, as well as studies of political discretion in parliamentary operations. My main research question asks how the Speaker of Parliament fulfils his responsibilities by disrupting ongoing parliamentary debates.

  • Malaysia's Leadership Role in Asean
    Journal of International Studies Vol. 14, 65-79 (2018) Malaysia’s Leadership Role in Asean: An Assessment 1Siti Darwinda Mohamed Pero & Laila Suriya Ahmad Apandi School of International Studies Universiti Utara Malaysia, Malaysia 1Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 5 June 2018 Revised: 11 August 2018 Accepted: 30 December 2018 Abstract There has been perpetual controversy regarding the leadership of ASEAN, that is complicated and hitherto been a cause for concern. The largest and most populated country in Southeast Asia is Indonesia, and has been regarded as the de facto leader in ASEAN for its influence to spur progress within the organization. However, this does not undermine the role of the other four founding members of ASEAN, specifically Singapore, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia. Singapore has been considered the leader of ASEAN in the economic realm, championing and pushing forward economic agendas of the organization and its member-states. Moreover, the Philippines have been a strong advocate in promoting and enhancing the socio-cultural development within the organization. Conversely, the role of Malaysia in ASEAN has been scholarly neglected. This study seeks to fill the gaps by analysing the role of Malaysia in ASEAN since 1967, and propose that Malaysia has had a significant degree of influence within the organisation. By incorporating document analysis, this study presents the findings on Malaysia’s pivotal role in ASEAN. The results conclude that Malaysia was and is still a key leader in the organization and the country should continue to exercise its prerogative for the benefit of its national interest, in addition to maintaining peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

  • Malays and Non-Malays: a Historical Overview on Ethnic Diversity and Nation Building in Malaysia
    Journal of Education and Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1, (October) ISSN 2289-1552 2017 MALAYS AND NON-MALAYS: A HISTORICAL OVERVIEW ON ETHNIC DIVERSITY AND NATION BUILDING IN MALAYSIA Anuar Ahmad1 Nur Atiqah Tang Abdullah2 ABSTRACT In Malaysia, scholarly interpretations of ethnic identities have been simultaneously challenged and enriched by modifications in both theoretical orientations and shifting social realities. Although social class theorists challenged such ethnic interpretations of Malaysian society; arguing that a focus on ethnic categorizations disguised and drew attention away from the underlying repressive class division, evidence from ethnographic research suggested that the perception and reality of ethnic divisions for people of all social classes continued to decisively shape and define the most basic social, economic, and political experiences of Malaysian life. Hence, this paper is carried out with the objective of discussing the ethnic diversity and its basis for nation building in Malaysia. Keywords: Politics, Socio-Economy, Ethnicity, Nation building Introduction Managing an ethnic diverse country is a challenge. America, Australia and Great Britain are also multi-racial societies, but the migrants have assimilated. In Malaysia, the preferred policy is integration with each communal group preserving its own culture, language and customs. National unity as a concept and a goal has been predominant theme in all of Malaysia’s development plans, but its realization and actualization seem to remain elusive. Even today, when Malaysia has celebrated its 60th year of independence, the subject of national unity is still broached and much discussed. It is indicated clearly in the Ninth Malaysia Plan 2006-2010,3 that is ‘to narrow the economic disparities between ethnic groups and within each ethnic group’, which is a statement to denote that national unity is possible only when economic disparities between ethnic groups are narrowed down.

  • Tun Razak and Tun Ismail – the Movie
    Tun Razak and Tun Ismail – the movie By ISABELLE LAI [email protected] PETALING JAYA: The extraordinary friendship between Tun Abdul Razak Hussein and Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman will be depicted for the first time in a movie. A hunt is underway to find the actors to play the roles of the two leaders who were instrumental in bringing peace and stability to the country after the May 13, 1969 racial conflict. Leading roles: The hunt is on for actors to play Tun Abdul Razak and Dr Ismail (above). Co-producer Kavita Sidhu said they were looking for experienced performers for individual casting. “They can be Malay, Chinese, Indian, Eurasian and Caucasian aged 20 to 50 plus. Ability to handle dialogues in English would be an advantage,” she said, adding that the movie would be in Bahasa Malaysia with 30% English dialogue. With the working title of TANDA Putera Negara, the movie will depict the bond between Malaysia’s second Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister and how “they remained focused on securing the future of the country even while battling their own fatal illnesses.” Tun Abdul Razak Written by producer and director Datin Paduka Shuhaimi Baba, it aims to portray how they brought the country back from the brink of disaster in the aftermath of May 13. “For the two leaders, it was always ‘Country First’ no matter what their own personal circumstances were,” she said, adding that shooting would begin in May. Kavita also said that visual effects consultant Madhu Sudhanan from Mumbai would assist the production team.

Nearly 30 years have passed. An entire generation has grown up since then and is now producing the next, while his own, like the old warriors they were, is fading away. Malaysians under 30 - which is to say, half the nation - can have no living memory of Dr Ismail. Most of them don't even know they know him, in the names of certain schools and colleges in the Klang Valley and Johor, and of a large middle-class suburb at the Sungai Penchala end of the Damansara Road in Kuala Lumpur. Comparing this country today with what it was 30 years ago is almost like comparing two different countries. This one has twice the population of that one, and five times the per capita income. And this country can look back on 30 years of racial peace and political stability, while that one was trying to juggle ideologies and race relations on the run. In the 1969 elections, and what came after, lies the junction between the life and times of Tun Dr Ismail, and our own. For while Tun Razak as Deputy Prime Minister attended to national defence and rural development, taking modern infrastructure and progressive ideas to the heartland, and while Tun Dr Ismail was representing our new nation as ambassador to Washington and the United Nations, Tengku Abdul Rahman Putra's stewardship of the country's social contract failed.
