  • Background Paper
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by eDoc.VifaPol Background Paper No. 14 / September 2011 Malaysia’s New Economic Model Is the Malaysian government serious about economic liberalisation? Wan Saiful Wan Jan In March 2010, the Prime Minister of Malaysia launched the first part of Malaysia’s “New Economic Model” (NEM). It calls for a more liberalised economy and reduced government in- tervention. It also proposes a radical shift from the heavily pro-Malay affirmative action prac- tices that have been in place since the 1970s to a more inclusive and race-blind system. How- ever, when the final part of the NEM was published in December 2010, the initial radicalism and boldness seem to have been watered down following pressure from Malay nationalists. Pro-Malay agenda reappeared. Several actions by the government indicated that they are not as committed to economic liberalisation as they claimed to be when the NEM was first an- nounced. Nevertheless, overall, the NEM still promises significant steps towards the right di- rection. This paper provides an explanation of the NEM and a critical assessment of the poli- tics around it. Executive Summary Multi-ethnic Malaysia, politically dominated by its Malay majority, has been seeking to reduce inter- and intra-ethnic income-disparities for decades. The "New Economic Policy" (NEP), intro- duced in 1971, led to pro-Malay affirmative action policies, which are still in place today. In terms of economic development, Malaysia has made strides and growth has been decent. But continuous government intervention in the economy sees the country now stuck in a middle income trap.

While not necessarily at odds, these dual commitments nonetheless provide legal and symbolic resources for activists to advance contending visions for their states and societies. Using the case study of Malaysia, Constituting Religion examines how these legal arrangements enable litigation and feed the construction of a “rights-versus-rites binary” in law, politics, and the popular imagination. By drawing on extensive primary source material and tracing controversial cases from the court of law to the court of public opinion, this study theorizes the “judicialization of religion” and examines the radiating effects of courts on popular legal and religious consciousness. The book docu- ments how legal institutions catalyze ideological struggles that stand to redefine the nation and its politics. Probing the links between legal pluralism, social movements, secularism, and political Islamism, Constituting Religion sheds new light on the con- fluence of law, religion, politics, and society.

  • The Impact of Islamic Civil Society Organisations on Malaysian Islam and Politics
    21 April 2016 The Impact of Islamic Civil Society Organisations on Malaysian Islam and Politics By Assistant Professor Mohamed Nawab Mohamed Osman and Ms Saleena Saleem Islam is an important aspect in the state governance of Malaysia. The religious identity of the majority Malay ethnic group, who are predominantly Muslims, is highly relevant in how the principle of ketuanan Melayu (Malay dominance) is expressed in contemporary Malaysian politics. Not only does ketuanan Melayu establish Malay political dominance, it also elevates the position of Islam in society. Constitutionally, the Malay rulers are recognized as heads of the religion of Islam, Islam is the official religion of the country, and Islamic courts and institutions can be formed to regulate Muslims (Salleh, 2000). From early on, the UMNO-led government, which has been in power since independence, has seen it prudent to regulate Islam so as to influence the expression of Malay religious identity. Early efforts to do this include the state-sponsored religious missionary organisations that were formed in the 1960s such as the Persatuan Kebajikan Islam Malaysia (PERKIM, Islamic Welfare Organisation) and the Tabung Haji (Pilgrim’s Fund). These organisations were intended primarily to provide education on Islam and to support Muslims’ pilgrimage to Mecca (Sani, 2015). The post-independence focus of the government was to manage economic and social issues, which especially took precedence after an incident of inter-ethnic violence in 1969. Political contestations between the government and its main political rival, the Islamist party Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS), during this period were largely framed around ethnic rather than religious issues.

Hutchinson INTRODUCTION There is a highly coherent narrative demanding for political reform in Malaysia. Since the onset of the financial crisis in 1998, change agents are calling for an overhaul of Malaysia’s social, economic and political institutions. They demand a new modus operandi asserting that sixty years of uninterrupted Barisan Nasional (BN) rule has resulted in deterioration in the quality of governance. Issues of state patronage, underperformance of the bureaucracy, quality of leadership, integrity, transparency and corruption continue to plague the state. In making their demands reformists are calling for a small state, a more qualified state power, greater equality, meritocracy and toleration of beliefs.

  • Malaysia and the Hamas Connection
    MALAYSIA AND THE HAMAS CONNECTION Dr. Shaul Shay (Research Fellow, ICT) September 2014 ABSTRACT Malaysia’s government has long been at odds with Israel. Support for the Palestinian cause runs deep in Malaysian society. 12 Malaysian members were on board the Mavi Marmara. After Operation "Pillar of Defense" in Gaza, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mohamad Najib Abdul Razak, arrived in Gaza and met with Hamas Prime Minister, Ismail Haniyeh, and members of the Izadin Al Qassam Brigades. Hamas suspects revealed to interrogators that members of a Hamas cell trained in Malaysia intended to carry out a cross-border attack using a powered parachute. In addition, Malayasia was one of the main supporters of Hamas in the recent conflict with Israel (Operation “Protective Edge”). * The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). 2 Malaysia and the Hamas Connection Dr. Shaul Shay (September 2014) Islam has been at the forefront of Malaysian foreign policy since the 1960s, when it was used to foster Malaysian identity and counter the threat of Communism in the early days after independence. Malaysia’s government has long been at odds with Israel. Mahathir Mohamad, who served as Malaysia’s Prime Minister for 22 years, constantly criticized Israel and its policies against the Palestinians. In the inaugural speech given by Mahatir Muhammad to the Islamic conference that convened in his country in 2003, Mahatir made the following statements: “The Europeans killed six million Jews out of twelve million, but today the Jews rule this world by proxy.

  • The Malaysian Chinese Dilemma: the Never Ending Policy (NEP)
    Chinese Southern Diaspora Studies , Volume 3, 2009 南方华裔研究杂志, 第第第三第三三三卷卷卷卷, 2009 The Malaysian Chinese Dilemma: The Never Ending Policy (NEP) ©2009 James CHIN Abstract: The controversial New Economic Policy (NEP) in Malaysia has been used to marginalise the Chinese community. This article details the NEP's extensive economic, educational and social benefits to the bumiputera (essentially Malay) community on the basis of ethnicity alone, and how this has permanently harmed relations between Malay and non-Malay communities. While officially the NEP was supposedly designed to eradicate poverty and help the indigenous community to catch up to the non-indigenous, in reality the NEP was rooted in the ideology of Ketuanan Melayu (Malay political supremacy/hegemony). The article argues that an end to NEP-type policies is not possible even with a change in the Barisan Nasional (National Front) regime. Introduction 1 In May 1969, major racial riots broke out in Kuala Lumpur and other major urban areas in Peninsular Malaysia. The riots turned out to be a watershed in Malaysian politics. The government’s reaction was to suspend the constitution and impose emergency rule. When the emergency rule was lifted in 1971, the parliament was reconvened and a series of laws were passed without debate. The amended laws made it illegal to discuss sensitive issues such as the ‘special rights’ of the Malays and other indigenous population, (officially called bumiputera or “sons of the soil”), citizenship rights of the non-Malays, the Malay rulers, and the use of Bahasa Melayu as the official language. The government then set out to restructure the entire Malaysian political system to cement Malay rule.
