    Malaysia: the 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania

    Malaysia: the 2020 putsch for Malay Islam supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Many people were surprised by the sudden fall of Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government on 21 February 2020, barely two years after winning the historic May 2018 general elections. This article argues that the fall was largely due to the following factors: the ideology of Ketuanan Melayu Islam (Malay Islam Supremacy); the Mahathir-Anwar dispute; Mahathir’s own role in trying to reduce the role of the non-Malays in the government; and the manufactured fear among the Malay polity that the Malays and Islam were under threat. It concludes that the majority of the Malay population, and the Malay establishment, are not ready to share political power with the non- Malays. Introduction Many people were shocked when the Barisan National (BN or National Front) govern- ment lost its majority in the May 2018 general elections. After all, BN had been in power since independence in 1957 and the Federation of Malaysia was generally regarded as a stable, one-party regime. What was even more remarkable was that the person responsible for Malaysia’s first regime change, Mahathir Mohammad, was also Malaysia’s erstwhile longest serving prime minister. He had headed the BN from 1981 to 2003 and was widely regarded as Malaysia’s strongman. In 2017, he assumed leader- ship of the then-opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH or Alliance of Hope) coalition and led the coalition to victory on 9 May 2018. He is remarkable as well for the fact that he became, at the age of 93, the world’s oldest elected leader.1 The was great hope that Malaysia would join the global club of democracy but less than two years on, the PH government fell apart on 21 February 2020.

    DAP Members and Supporters Go Bald to Protest Money Politics Malaysian Insider May 3,2013 by Opalyn Mok

    DAP members and supporters go bald to protest money politics Malaysian Insider May 3,2013 By Opalyn Mok GEORGE TOWN, May 3 — A total of 84 DAP members and supporters shaved their heads bald at the Kek Lok Si Temple here in protest against money politics. They include six people who are standing for election in state constituencies in Penang. Their move was to express disgust with Barisan Nasional (BN)-friendly non-governmental organisation 1 Malaysia Penang Welfare Club for organising free dinners and allegedly distributing money and holding lucky draws to woo voters. Among those who went bald was Betty Chew, wife of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who also did it to support her husband in the general election. “This is not organised by the party but an individual effort by all of us to protest against the money politics BN is using to win voter support,” she said. The DAP candidates who went bald were Pulau Tikus candidate Yap Soo Huey, incumbent Air Itam assemblyman Wong Hon Wai, incumbent Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu, incumbent Berapit assemblyman Ong Kok Fooi, incumbent Datuk Keramat assemblyman Jagdeep Singh and incumbent Sungai Puyu assemblyman Phee Boon Poh. Lim, who was present to witness the ceremony, condemned the blatant act by certain quarters in trying to win votes. “They are doing this openly in my constituency and I hope the voters will not be bought over by their tactics,” he said. In recent weeks, 1 Malaysia dinners have been held in almost all constituencies in the state but more so in the Air Putih state constituency where Lim is standing for election.

Today, ASEAN is an important hub in the global supply chain. However, global trade is now slowing due to multiple reasons, including external shocks such as terrorism and the recent Brexit. This would induce more uncertainties for ASEAN, which collectively comprises the seventh largest economy in the world.
