  • The Fall of Warisan in Sabah's Election
    ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 29 January 2021 The Fall of Warisan in Sabah’s Election: Telltale Signs, Causes and Salient Issues Arnold Puyok* President of the Sabah Heritage Party (Warisan) Shafie Apdal (centre), shows his inked finger after casting his vote at a polling station during state elections in Semporna, a town in Malaysia's Sabah state on Borneo island, on September 26, 2020. Photo: AFP * Arnold Puyok is Senior Lecturer in Politics and Government Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Public opinion polls conducted prior to the 16th Sabah state election provided telltale signs of Warisan’s loss of support and impending electoral defeat. • Warisan’s fall from power was mostly due to the party’s inability to address the priority needs of the largely rural Muslim Bumiputera and Kadazandusun voters. • Research fieldwork during the election campaign and post-election analysis reveal that rural Sabah voters are more concerned with bread-and-butter issues, while their partisan loyalties are not steadfast. They are willing to trade their political support for programmes and policies that yield tangible benefits. • The new state government led by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) will face the twin challenges of appeasing increasingly demanding voters and delivering public goods effectively. • As GRS navigates these politically uncertain times, its future in Sabah looks unpromising. 2 ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION In the recent Sabah state election, GRS (Gabungan Rakyat Sabah), comprising BN (Barisan Nasional), PN (Perikatan Nasional) and PBS (Parti Bersatu Sabah), won 38 seats in the state legislative assembly, prevailing over a Warisan-led coalition by a six-seat margin.

  • Sabah Elections 2020: Sentiments Trending on Social Media
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 106 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 23 September 2020 Sabah Elections 2020: Sentiments Trending on Social Media Benjamin Y.H. Loh and Kevin Zhang* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 26 September, the East Malaysian state of Sabah heads to the polls. The state election was called following the defection of 13 assemblymen from the Warisan-led state government. • The competition is fierce, with 447 candidates from many parties contesting for the 73 state legislative assembly seats. The main battle is however being fought between Warisan Plus on one hand and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) on the other. Warisan Plus consists of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition and the Sabah-based Warisan, while GRS consists of Perikatan Nasional (PN), Barisan Nasional (BN), and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS). • The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed much of the political campaigns and discussions to online media platforms. Our research indicates that a vigorous online discourse has emerged in Sabah, particularly since the dissolution of the state assembly on 30 July. • Three key themes can be seen in the online media discourse among Sabahans: wariness against the role of “Cybertroopers”, cynicism over party-hopping, and a deepening political divide between Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia. • Both the incumbent (Warisan) and major opposition (BN) parties have been viciously attacked. The Warisan is painted as a pro-migrant party with poor administrative ability shown during their short tenure, while the BN parties are tagged as “robbers of the state” who failed to develop Sabah despite having exploited its natural resources for decades.

  • Malaysia: the 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy’
    Jurnal Pengajian Melayu - JOMAS, Jilid 32(1), 2021: 118-137 KUPASAN ARTIKEL ‘MALAYSIA: THE 2020 PUTSCH FOR MALAY ISLAM SUPREMACY’ (CRITICAL APPRAISAL ON MALAYSIA: THE 2020 PUTSCH FOR MALAY ISLAM SUPREMACY’) James Chin, The Round Table, (2020), Vol. 109, No. 3, 288–297 https://doi.org/10.1080/00358533.2020.1760495 Asmady Idris [email protected] Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Asri Salleh [email protected] Universiti Teknologi Mara, Cawangan Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Mohd Rizal Mohd Yaakop [email protected] Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi Malaysia Received: 11 Februari 2020; Accepted: 8 April 2021 Abstract The 2018 General Election (PRU) marked a significant point in the history of Malaysian politics when the major opposition bloc Pakatan Harapan (PH) ended Barisan Nasional (BN) rule of 60 years since gaining independence in 1957. However, the PH government, led by ex-premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, only lasted 22 months. Accordingly, the sudden collapse of the PH government drew many to offer their respective analyses. James Chin (2020) wrote one of them titled ‘Malaysia: The 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy’. He argued that, amongst the many reasons attributable to its sudden collapse, one stood out – the position of Islam and Malay supremacy in Malaysia. Since Malaysia is predominantly a Malay-Muslim country, such a profound claim warrants a thorough response. Thus, this study’s objective is to analyse and offer critiques on Chin’s work based on the three main factors, namely the concept of Malay supremacy, unreadiness of Malays to share power with non-Malays and the position of non-Malays e ISSN 2735 - 1904 https://doi.org/10.22452/JOMAS.vol32no1.8 118 Jurnal Pengajian Melayu - JOMAS, Jilid 32(1), 2021: 118-137 in the top government positions.

  • Weekly Strategy
    Monday, September 28, 2020 FBMKLCI: 1, 509.14 THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* WWeeeekkllyy SSttrraatteeggyy Market View, News in Brief: Corporate, Economy, and Share Buybacks Kaladher Govindan Tel: +603-2167 9609 [email protected] www.taonline.com.my Market View Possible Relief Rally Post Sabah Elections The local blue-chip benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) was stuck in range bound trade last week, as profit-taking and selling from retailers amid dwindling trading liquidity ahead of the six-month loan moratorium expiry was offset by gains in key rubber glove makers due to virus resurgence fears in Europe and other global hotspots. Domestic political woes casted a dark cloud over the market after opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim claimed a strong majority to form the next government, while delay of an audience with the king requested by him kept uncertainties elevated and sidelined investors. Week-on-week, the FBM KLCI added 2.51 points, or 0.17 percent to 1,509.14, as gains on Hartalega (+RM2.84) and Top Glove (+82sen) overcame falls on Petronas Dagangan (- RM1.40), Public Bank (-50sen), Axiata (-18sen) and Maybank (-13sen). Average daily traded volume and value last week dwindled to 6.62 billion shares worth RM4.06 billion, compared to the 8.2 billion shares and RM5.8 billion average the previous week, as trading momentum in small caps, ACE Market and penny stocks slowed considerably due to profit-taking and reducing retail commitments. Gabungan Rakyat Sabah’s (GRS) two-seat majority win in last Saturday’s Sabah state election could induce a relief rally today, supported further by the strong performance in the US equity markets last Friday and China’s strong industrial profits, which grew for the fifth consecutive month in August at 19.1% YoY.

RAJARATNAM SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES SINGAPORE 5 MAY 2021 Abstract Sabah’s political and socio-economic issues are linked to the state’s long and contentious history of migration. Many of these problems arose in the 2020 Sabah state election, which was underscored by anti-immigrant sentiments. Underlying all of these is the politics of identity of the Sabahans. Indigenous Sabahans such as the Kadazandusuns tend to separate themselves from the Malay-Muslim majority of Malaysia. This is compounded by the identities of Sabah’s migrant population, which remains largely “foreign” in the eyes of indigenous communities.

  • The Sabah State Election: a Narrow Win and Precarious Mandate for the New Government
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 131 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 17 November 2020 The Sabah State Election: A Narrow Win and Precarious Mandate for the New Government Anantha Raman Govindasamy* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 30 July 2020, the Sabah state assembly was dissolved by the Chief Minister Shafie Apdal, to nullify a coup against his administration by his predecessor Musa Aman. • Held on 26 September, the election involved a total of 447 candidates, including 56 independents, vying for 73 state seats. The main contest was between the Warisan-Plus coalition headed by Shafie Apdal, and the newly formed federal government-backed umbrella of coalition parties called Gabungan Rakyat Sabah. • Unlike previous state elections, the campaign was a low-key affair due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Chief Minister Shafie Apdal asked Sabahans to unite against a perceived West Malaysian domination of Sabah politics. • Gabungan Rakyat Sabah emphasized the failure of Warisan-Plus over the past 26 months to bring meaningful development to the state, and highlighted the need to have close cooperation with Putrajaya. • Gabungan Rakyat Sabah obtained a simple majority by securing 38 out of 73 state assembly seats. Warisan Plus won 32, and 3 state seats went to independent candidates. In terms of the popular vote, Warisan Plus had a slight edge over Gabungan Rakyat Sabah in winning 43.42%, or 317,541 votes. • This election failed to deliver a stable state government for Sabah. There is a possibility of infighting within the fragile ruling coalition of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah. * The author would like to express his gratitude to Francis Hutchinson and Lee Hwok Aun for their useful comments and suggestions on the initial draft.
