Karim Raslan discusses the strengths Expectations and weaknesses of Mahathir’s hand-picked successor,Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. He maintains that Abdullah will do well at moderating the influence of Malaysia’s more radical Islamic leaders, but page 9 doubts whether the new prime minister can live up to the excessive expectations that the polit- ical transition has engendered. M. Bakri Musa expresses hope that Abdullah will succeed where M. BAKRI MUSA (in his view) Mahathir has failed.

  • Remarks by the Honorable Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar
    By : DATUK SERI SYED HAMID ALBAR Venue : PUTRAJAYA Date : 22 APRIL 2004 Title : REMARKS AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE OIC ON THE MIDDLE EAST The Honorable Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Prime Minister of Malaysia H.E. Dr Abdelouahed Belkeziz, Secretary General of OIC Excellencies Ladies and Gentlemen Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahhibarokatuh, I would like to thank The Honorable Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Prime Minister of Malaysia today for his presence at this Special Meeting. I also thank delegates from other countries for their attendance. I know we have given very short notice but your attendance shows the importance and relevancy for this meeting to be held. As Chairman of the 10th OIC summit, Malaysia feels duty bound to call for this meeting amidst the problems and crisis facing the Muslim world and the Ummah. We witness the continued violence in the Middle East, be it in Palestine or Iraq and we also witness the arrogance of power and total disregard for international law and the multilateral process. In other words, we are facing all kinds of pressures in our intention of giving credibility and integrity to the Islamic Ummah. What is obvious is that there is a need for unity and cohesion amongst the Muslims if they want to be counted in the global affairs. Failing to do this would mean that we would continue to be sidelined, marginalized and deprived in making decisions for our own future. Others will instead make it for us. Finally, it is in this context that Malaysia has called for this special Meeting, hoping that in the spirit of brotherhood and unity, we will be able to sit down together to look at ourselves and chart our plans.

  • MEGAT JUNID MADE a FULL MINISTER (Bernama 28/05/1997)
    28 MAY 1997 Anwar-Cabinet MEGAT JUNID MADE A FULL MINISTER KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Megat Junid Megat Ayob was promoted as a full minister today, after over 10 years as Deputy Home Minister, most of which was spent tackling the drug and illegal immigrant problems which threaten national security. He was appointed Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister in place of Datuk Abu Hassan Omar in a minor Cabinet reshuffle announced by Acting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar told a news conference at his office here that the post of Deputy Home Minister would be taken over by Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Tajol Rosli Ghazali. Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Azmi Khalid was promoted deputy minister to take over from Tajol Rosli. On the possibility of a bigger Cabinet reshuffle in future, Anwar said that was the prerogative of the Prime Minister. "It may be held from time to time depending on the need and the vacancies," said Anwar who described today's appointment as "filling a vacancy" agreed upon by the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad is on two months' vacation overseas. The appointment is effective Saturday when the swearing-in will be held. The post of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister was vacated by Abu Hassan on May 2 after he was named as Selangor Menteri Besar-designate. Abu Hassan, however, has to win the Permatang state by-election tomorrow to qualify for appointment as Selangor Menteri Besar. Megat Junid, 54, was appointed Deputy Primary Industries Minister in July 1984 before moving to the Home Ministry in August 1986.

Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi – former Prime Minister of Malaysia Your Hon. Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed – Minister of International Trade & Industry of Malaysia Mr. Tan Sri Michael Yeoh – Chairman of The 10th ASEAN Leadership Forum Distinguished Participants Ladies and Gentlemen, I am honoured to participate and address the ASEAN Leadership Forum which brings together eminent leaders from Governments, businesses, think-tanks, academic and civil societies, to deliberate on key leadership challenges and issues facing ASEAN. The theme of this year’s forum 1 “ASEAN at a crossroads: Towards a Common Future, Shared Prosperity and Regional Stability” is highly appropriate and relevant as we are only two and a half years away from the deadline for achieving an ASEAN Community in 2015 by which time, at a crossroads, ASEAN will also have to decide which direction it will take in its continued process of integration. As a reflection of the commitment of the Governments and peoples of ASEAN to Community building, we may recall that while the idea of building an ASEAN Community was reaffirmed only in 2007 by the Leaders of the Association through their Cebu Declaration, it first came about at the 9th ASEAN Summit back in 2003, and the signing of the ASEAN Charter constituted another landmark. The Charter reaffirmed ASEAN’s vision of and commitment to the ASEAN Community as one of peace and stability and shared prosperity and progress.

The BN coalition party, fronted by UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) along with major allies the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) and MIC (Malaysian Indian Congress), garnered a total of 199 of 219 parliamentary seats and limited the opposition to a meager 20 seats. All in all, the BN won 64% of popular support. Results of state elections, held concurrently in all the states in the Malaysian federal system with the general election except for Sarawak, were equally impressive, with the BN amassing a total of 453 out of 504 state seats. More striking however, were the results in Kelantan, the stronghold of the Islamic opposition PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia), and Terengganu, which PAS managed to wrest from UMNO at the 1999 elections.

  • Amnesty International MALAYSIA Human Rights Defender Faces Trial
    1 amnesty international MALAYSIA Human rights defender faces trial 10 May 1996 AI INDEX: ASA 28/06/96 DISTR: SC/CO/GR Amnesty International is concerned about the forthcoming trial of Irene Fernandez, the Director of Tenaganita, a women’s non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital. Irene Fernandez, aged 49, was arrested on 18 March 1996 and charged under Section 8A(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act1 with publishing “false news” in a report on alleged human rights violations in camps for detained migrants. She is currently on bail awaiting trial which is scheduled to take place from 10 to 14 June 1996. If found guilty, she faces a prison term of up to three years. Should she be imprisoned, Amnesty International believes Irene Fernandez would be a prisoner of conscience. Amnesty International is concerned that Irene Fernandez is to be tried solely because of her peaceful human rights activities. The organization is urging the Malaysian authorities to withdraw all charges against her and to address the findings of Tenaganita’s report by establishing an independent public inquiry. TENAGANITA’S REPORT Tenaganita’s report, released in August 1995, details allegations of a pattern of abuses in camps for detained migrants, including a series of deaths reportedly caused by malnutrition, beri-beri and other treatable illnesses. During the course of a year Tenaganita staff interviewed over 300 migrant workers following their release from detention as alleged illegal immigrants at various centres in Semenyih, Juru, Kelantan, Johore and Melaka. Most of the migrant workers interviewed are believed to be of Bangladeshi, Indonesian or Filipino nationality.
