  • Malaysia Begins Rectifying Major Flaws in Its Election System
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 12 July 2019 Malaysia Begins Rectifying Major Flaws in its Election System Thomas Fann* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The first change in government since independence at the 14th General Election opened up possibilities to reform the electoral system in Malaysia. Serious structural flaws concerning the independence of the Election Commission and unfair delimitation of the electoral constituencies are in need of correction. The new Pakatan Harapan government has administratively allowed the EC to function independently but legislative amendments, including amendments to the Constitution, are required to institutionalise the Commission’s independence. Other core reforms that need to be considered include: change to the current First- Past-The-Post system; re-delineation of the electoral boundaries; and enactment of a political financing act to curb corruption and abuse of political patronage. * Guest Writer, Thomas Fann is Chairperson of Bersih 2.0. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The 14th General Election (GE14) turned out to be momentous for democracy in Malaysia. On 9 May 2018, the rule of the once-invincible Barisan Nasional (BN) was brought to an end, and a peaceful transition of power was made to a new coalition government under the 93-year-old Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. With the change, Malaysia entered a political environment with new possibilities for democratic and electoral reforms. This article will highlight some of the key conditions and circumstances that made GE14 an uneven playing field for the opposition parties even before the election was called, and biased the conduct of GE14 itself.

  • HARIMAU WASHINGTON Embassy of Malaysia in Washington D.C
    HARIMAU WASHINGTON Embassy of Malaysia in Washington D.C. Newsletter Edition 2 1 January– 15 July 2016 Parting Words from the Ambassador 11 July 2016 After 2 years and 3 months as Malaysian Ambassador in Washington D.C., it is time to bid farewell to colleagues and friends as I wrap up my tour of duty and return to Malaysia on July 11, 2016. It has been a wonderful experience to be Ambassador to the most powerful country on earth and to have the opportunity to participate in shaping up U.S.-Malaysia bilateral relations to its present healthy and vibrant state. Trade and investment continue to flourish, visits by leaders have been most frequent, and cooperation between the Governments and the peoples have been most encouraging and productive. All these can only move forward and progress to greater heights, especially with the impending implementation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). On a more personal level, I want to thank all the officers and staff of the Malaysian Embassy for their support, contributions and team-work extended to me during the course of my duties. The various activities and events organized by them to bring together Malaysian Diasporas and students closer to the Embassy have been highly appreciated by everyone involved. The most recent Ramadhan and Eid celebrations have been particularly memorable as these coincided with the farewell events organized just before my departure to Kuala Lumpur. Hope to see most of them again some time in the future in Malaysia. Finally my special thanks to the Malaysian Government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in particular our YAB Prime Minister and YB Minister of Foreign Affairs for their confidence in me to lead Malawakil Washington as the fourteenth Malaysian Ambassador to the United States.
