  • Lawatan Dr Mahathir Buatkan Rakyat Sabah Lebih Positif
    26 SEP 1999 Mahathir-Sabah (Fokus Berita) LAWATAN DR MAHATHIR BUATKAN RAKYAT SABAH LEBIH POSITIF Oleh: Jackson Sawatan LAHAD DATU, 26 Sept (Bernama) -- Langit di Lahat Datu pada 17 Sept agak mendung, hari Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad dijadualkan untuk melancarkan skim perladangan untuk rakyat termiskin di Bahagak, kira-kira 60km dari bandar ini. Pada pukul 9.30 pagi, ramai daripada 4,000 orang yang hadir itu, datang dari tempat-tempat yang jauh seperti Semporna, kira-kira 170km jaraknya, agak risau dengan keadaan yang mendung itu. "Saya berharap hari tidak akan hujan," terdengar seorang tua berkata kepada kawannya. Mereka mempunyai sebab untuk gusar -- kerana Perdana Menteri baru sahaja berlepas dengan pesawat dari Labuan ke Tawau pagi itu, dan dari situ beliau akan menaiki helikopter untuk sampai ke kawasan ladang yang terpencil itu -- perjalanan yang banyak dipengaruhi oleh keadaan cuaca. Apatah lagi, ia adalah lawatan pertama Dr Mahathir ke ladang tersebut suatu acara yang mereka tidak mahu ketinggalan. Yang lain nampaknya tenang dan seorang daripada yang hadir berkata: "Perdana Menteri akan datang, helikopter yang dinaikinya itu berupaya untuk menangani cuaca buruk seumpama itu." Orang ramai menarik nafas lega, apabila juruacara majlis mengumumkan Perdana Menteri sedang dalam perjalanan untuk datang ke tempat itu. Tepat pada pukul 10 pagi helikopter yang membawa Dr Mahathir dan rombongannya termasuk Ketua Menteri Datuk Osu Sukam, mendarat kira-kira 100 meter dari granstan. Semasa Perdana Menteri keluar dari pesawat, orang ramai berpusu-pusu untuk berjabat tangan dengan beliau. Pada ketika-ketika tertentu, hadirin yang bersemangat itu terpaksa dikawal bagi membolehkan Perdana Menteri dan rombongannya sampai ke granstan.

  • The Practice of Public Accounts Committee in the Parliament of Malaysia Siti Fahlizah Padlee*
    The Practice of Public Accounts Committee in the Parliament of Malaysia Siti Fahlizah Padlee* Abstract The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Malaysia is a permanent committee made up of members from Malaysia’s House of Representative, the Dewan Rakyat, and has grown in function since its establishment in 1959. The PAC initially served as a financial oversight body to check the financial procedures and performance accountability of executive bodies. Then, it started to pursue a series of reforms to make it more effective and accountable. Therefore, this research explores the current practices of the PAC in the Parliament of Malaysia pertaining to the appointment of its Chairman. It also analyses the implementation of two types of new meetings and identifies the relationship between the PAC with other stakeholders. The research employed a case study with an exploratory, descriptive approach using data collected from published reports of PAC meetings from 2017 to 2020, the PAC’s official website, interviews with a parliamentary officer-in-charge of handling the PAC, as well as international and local newspapers such as The Straits Times and The Edge. The research found that changes in the appointment of the Chairman have not affected the PAC reports as the core task of a Chairman is to set the committee’s agenda with consultation from the committee and Auditor General, as well as to ensure that the reports are released. The two new types of meeting (i.e. verification meeting and response reporting meeting) are crucial to enhance the PAC performance. Furthermore, the seven ex-officio possess prominent roles to provide and check the validity of data.

  • New MH370 Search Ops May Cost RM296
    New MH370 search ops may cost RM296 MALAYSIA may fork up to US$70 million (RM296 million) in new search missions for missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi said the government, through the MH370 response team, was in talks with international subsea exploration company Ocean Infinity on the use of latest technology to search for the plane. Negotiations with the United State company include the cost of conducting the search for the Boeing 777 aircraft. “The government is in the process of evaluating fees to be paid for search missions. Ocean Infinity has offered to provide search missions on a ‘no cureno pay’ basis (payment depends upon success and the recovery of property),” Ab Aziz said. He said the negotiations touched on other aspects, including payment terms and schedule, such as whether fees would be paid after the wreckage of the plane was found. He said it was required that the wreckage be certified as MH370 by the plane’s manufacturer, Boeing. “These details are being looked into as the cost is high,” he said in a reply to Dr Tan Seng Giaw (DAP-Kepong) during the minister’s question and answer session at Dewan Rakyat. Tan had asked if the government embarked on new efforts to locate the aircraft. Ab Aziz said Malaysia, Australia and China, in line with the spirit of tripartite cooperation, would consider further search operations should there be new, credible leads. He said the final report of investigations was being prepared. The report will be issued within one year from the suspension of the search operation, which was announced on July 22 last year.

  • Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent
    BIBLIOGRAPHICINFORMATION Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent: The Unofficial Appropriation of Rain Forest Title Rent by Rulers in Insular Southeast Asia Between 1970 and 1999 Source http://www.geocities.com/davidbrown_id/Diss/DWB.Fintext.doc Author 1 Brown, David Walter Author 2 NA Author 3 NA Publication/Conference Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation Edition NA Document Type Dissertation CPI Primary Subject East Malaysia CPI Secondary Subject Political economy; Sabah ; Sarawak; Geographic Terms Sabah; Sarawak Abstract NA CentreforPolicyInitiatives(CPI) PusatInitiatifPolisi http://www.cpiasia.org 1 Chapter 1 Introduction The world’s tropical rain forests are important socially and environmentally as well as by virtue of their contributions to economic growth. As these forests are logged, their social values as generators of rural incomes and their environmental services as biodiversity reserves, carbon sinks, soil reserves, and watersheds tend to diminish. Despite these facts, most governments in the tropics are unable to resist logging these forests in favor of national economic objectives, including: creation of a forest industrial sector, higher employment, positive balance of payments, and increased government revenues. However, given the high economic stakes that can be obtained from their forests, it is seems counterintuitive that tropical governments rarely succeed in optimally harnessing government revenue from this valuable natural resource. This staggering loss of revenue to developing countries obviously has important implications for economic development. Timber revenue could be used, for example, to finance the kind of strategic industrial policies that allow the high performing Asian economies to achieve high levels of economic growth. This dissertation argues that states with rain forests are often unable to collect optimal revenue from the massive profit earned by timber companies that harvest state forests because this profit already has a hidden destination.

  • Umno Dan Krisis; Penelitian Kepada Krisis Dalaman-Kes Terpilih
    UMNO DAN KRISIS; PENELITIAN KEPADA KRISIS DALAMAN-KES TERPILIH Ku Hasnan bin Ku Halim1, Ainudin Lee bin Iskandar Lee2, Suhaimi bin Sulaiman 3 1Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia [email protected] 2Universiti Utara Malaysia 3Universiti Malaysia Sabah ABSTRAK Demokrasi (Pilihanraya dan Pemilihan Parti) dan berasaskan amalan kebiasaan. Namun begitu dalam keadaan tertentu proses penggantian kepimpinan ini seringkali pula menimbulkan konflik dan polemik apabila ada keinginan untuk mengetahui kepimpinan itu secara wajarnya walaupun dilakukan atas nama Demokrasi (kebebasan untuk bertanding dan memilih pemimpin). Meskipun tuntutan Demokrasi membenarkan pertandingan (unsur keterbukaan), namun landasan sistem pemerintahan yang terbuka sifatnya itu akan menjadi agenda untuk mempertahankan kepentingan kelompok yang kecil sedangkan majoriti kumpulan yang lain menjadi mangsa akibat dasar liberalisasi serta keterbukaan itu. Maka akan wujud impak serta akibatnya. UMNO sebagai sebuah parti terbesar kepada orang-orang Melayu, telah menempuh tidak kurang daripada lima belas (15) krisis besar sejak parti itu ditubuhkan pada tahun 1946.

  • THE RISE and FALL of S46 (Bernama 06/10/1996)
    06 OCT 1996 S46-Events THE RISE AND FALL OF S46 By: Ali Mamat KOTA BAHARU, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- Parti Melayu Semangat 46 occupied a place in Malaysian politics for eight colourful years, going through many ups and downs. At the onset of its formation, the Umno splinter party's performance was most encouraging, especially in Malay-majority states. However, the 1995 general election results showed that the party was not only further from achieving the objective of its struggles, but support from Malays who were once strongly backing the party was also eroding as an increasing number of S46 members returned to Umno. Apart from that, S46's former allies began to distance themselves from the party, beginning with its partners in Gagasan Rakyat including the Democratic Action Party (DAP), Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM). And the latest to leave the party led by former Finance Minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah were its partners in Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah (APU) -- PAS, Berjasa and Hamim -- who had been in power in Kelantan since 1990. Under such circumstances, Tengku Razaleigh was left with no choice in his pursuit of his struggle but to dissolve S46 and take his followers to Umno en bloc. S46 held a special assembly today to obtain the mandate of at least two-thirds of its members before the party is dissolved. Following is a summary in chronological order of S46's formation and events surrounding the party including its cooperation with opposition parties, break up with PAS and holding of the Malay Unity rally last Thursday which was attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

  • The 2008 Malaysian Elections: an End to Ethnic Politics?
    04_JEAS9.1_Pepinsky.qxd 1/13/09 3:30 PM Page 87 Journal of East Asian Studies 9 (2009), 87–120 The 2008 Malaysian Elections: An End to Ethnic Politics? Thomas B. Pepinsky Malaysia’s twelfth general elections, held on March 8, 2008, dealt a stunning blow to the incumbent Barisan Nasional regime. For the first time since 1969, the coalition did not receive its customary two-thirds majority in the lower house of parliament. Moreover, the opposition was able to form governments in five out of eleven peninsular Malaysian states. This article uses electoral, economic, and demographic data to test a number of potential explanations for these outcomes. Evidence indicates that the regime’s decreased majority is the consequence of non-Malay voters’ rejecting the incumbent regime in favor of secular opposition parties. KEYWORDS: Malaysia, elections, authoritarianism, democratization, ethnic politics he Malaysian general elections of March 8, 2008, were a land- Tmark event in the country’s political history. For the first time since 1969, the ruling coalition failed to gain more than a two-thirds ma- jority of seats in the lower house of the Malaysian parliament. In five of eleven state elections on the Malay peninsula, opposition parties denied the incumbent coalition even a simple majority. These results stunned in- ternational observers and many Malaysians alike. Foreign media deemed the results a “political earthquake” (Agence France-Presse, March 9, 2008; Wall Street Journal, March 9, 2008). Echoing the comments of Democratic Action Party chairman Lim Kit Siang, opposition politicians and bloggers have termed the results a “tsunami.” While the Barisan Na- sional (BN, National Front) has formed a government and its simple ma- jority in the parliament allows it to pass legislation, for the first time in Malaysia’s history it will not be able to change the Malaysian constitu- tion at will.

Schement Distinguished Professor of Mass Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women’s Studies John S. Nichols Professor of Mass Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines how socio-political blogs contribute to the development of democracy in Malaysia. It suggests that blogs perform three main functions, which help make a democracy more meaningful: blogs as fifth estate, blogs as networks, and blogs as platform for expression. First, blogs function as the fifth estate performing checks-and-balances over the government. This function is expressed by blogs’ role in the dissemination of information, providing alternative perspectives that challenge the dominant frame, and setting of news agenda. The second function of blogs is that they perform as networks. This is linked to the social-networking aspect of the blogosphere both online and offline. Blogs also have the potential to act as mobilizing agents. The mobilizing capability of blogs facilitated the mass street protests, which took place in late- 2007 and early-2008 in Malaysia.
