Prof. Dr., Chairman, Center for Akidah and Global Peace, Faculty of Islamic Studies, The National University of Malaysia / Senior Fellow at The Institute of Islam Hadhari, The National University of Malaysia, Malaysia Abstract The existence of Muslim-Buddhist conflicts in the Southeast Asian region such as in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand is based on the perception that Islam is a threat to Buddhism. While in Malaysia, although the relationship between the Muslims and Buddhists remains in harmony, there is a certain perception among Buddhists towards Islam. Hence, this article will discuss the forms of Buddhism's perception of Islam in Malaysia. The study was qualitative using document analysis. The study found that particular group of Buddhists in Malaysia had a negative perception of Islam, particularly on the implementation of Islamization policy by the government and the Islamic resurgence movement in Malaysia. This perception is based on misunderstanding of Islam which is seen as a threat to the survival of Buddhists in practicing their teachings. The study recommends the empowerment of understanding between the religious adherents through Islamic-Buddhist dialogue at various levels of government and NGOs.

  • Position Paper on Malaysia's Airports Industry Structure
    governance, POSITION PAPER MALAYSIA’S AIRPORTS INDUSTRY STRUCTURE DECEMBER 2019 This Position Paper outlines the Malaysian Aviation Commission’s position on an optimal structure for Malaysia’s commercial airports sector. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The performance of the airports industry in Malaysia is influenced by the behaviour and decisions of the Government of Malaysia (GoM). This is due to the latter’s overlapping roles in the industry as policymaker, shareholder, and provider of capex funding. The structure and implementation of the Operating Agreement (OA) between the GoM and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), operator of more than 90% of airports in Malaysia, is emblematic of these overlapping roles. The OA underscores the fact that the airports are GoM’s assets. Meanwhile, Khazanah Nasional Berhad (KNB), a sovereign wealth fund, is a major shareholder in MAHB, which is also a publicly listed company. The GoM also determines the overall policy direction for the development of the airports industry. Therefore, there needs to be a more transparent and structured capex funding model for airports in Malaysia, as well as, to mitigate conflicts of interest which may arise from the GoM’s overlapping roles in relation to the Malaysian airports industry. The industry also faces issues arising from MAHB’s limited commercial behaviour which affects service quality to airlines and passengers. The recent failure of the Total Airports Management System is one of many examples of these. These issues and the lack of clarity in the airport funding model have adversely affected the competitiveness and attractiveness of the airports industry in particular, and the aviation sector in general.
