  • Making Sure Logistics Chain Continues Moving
    Making Sure Logistics Chain Continues Moving KUALA LUMPUR : The easy availability of face masks in Malaysia at a reasonable price during the most critical moments did not happen by chance. It was the result of a decisive move to ensure supply arrived here on time. In an interview to mark his impending 100 days in office this Thursday, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the matter was not a result of market forces at play. Owing to the sudden high global demand for face masks, initial supply in Malaysia was limited, leading to prices spiralling as high as RM2.50 to RM3 apiece. “Scammers also seized the chance to cheat anxious consumers We needed to act quickly. The Transport Ministry suggested the use of grounded aircraft – such as MASkargo – to bring in the masks. This was the fastest way because many ships were not sailing. “Credit goes to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for the brave decision to order a huge amount of face masks from China, up to 50 million pieces. “This flooded the market and reduced the tension during a critical juncture, ” Dr Wee said, adding that subsequent supply availability also allowed the government to set the ceiling price for the much sought-after item. A further decision by the government to waive the 20% import duty and 10% sales tax brought prices down further. On March 20, the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry included face masks under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering (Determination of Maximum Price) Order 2020 while at the same time banning the export of face masks.

  • Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Malaysia
    COUNTRIES AT THE CROSSROADS Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Malaysia Introduction Malaysia has over 28 million people, of whom approximately 63 percent are ethnic Malay, 25 percent Chinese, 7 percent Indian, and 4 percent Ibans and Kadazan-Dusun.1 Much of this diversity was created through the British formation of an extractive colonial economy, with the “indigenous” Malay community ordered into small holdings and rice cultivation, while the “non-Malays” were recruited from China and India into tin mining and plantation agriculture. Further, in preparing the territory for independence in 1957, the British fashioned a polity that was formally democratic, but would soon be encrusted by authoritarian controls. Throughout the 1960s, greater urbanization brought many Malays to the cities, where they encountered the comparative prosperity of the non-Malays. They perceived the multiethnic coalition that ruled the country, anchored by the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), but including the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) and the Malayan Indian Congress (MIC), as doing little to enhance their living standards. At the same time, many non-Malays grew alienated by the discrimination they faced in accessing public sector resources. Thus, as voters in both communities swung to opposition parties in an election held in May 1969, the UMNO-led coalition, known as the Alliance, was gravely weakened. Shortly afterward, Malays and Chinese clashed in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, sparking ethnic rioting known as the May 13th incident. Two years of emergency rule followed during which parliament was closed. As the price for reopening parliament in 1971, UMNO imposed new curbs on civil liberties, thereby banning any questioning of the Malay “special rights” that are enshrined in constitution’s Article 153.

    Publisher of scholarly books on economics, politics and social issues Advance Title Information World Rights PARTI ISLAM SEMALAYSIA (PAS): UNIFIER OF THE UMMAH? by Wan Saiful Wan Jan Pub. date: 4 Dec 2020 About the AUTHOR •Wan Saiful Wan Jan is Visiting Senior Fellow at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore. About the BOOK The Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) is no stranger to coalition politics. It has a long history of working with others, both in government and in opposition. Up until 2018, it used the framework of tahaluf siyasi as the guide to forming coalitions. Under the pretext of tahaluf siyasi or political coalition, PAS joined the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in 1974. It was also a key player in the Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah (APU), Barisan Alternatif (BA) and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) opposition coalitions. But in the lead up to GE14, PAS decided to form the Gagasan Sejahtera coalition with much smaller parties—Berjasa and Ikatan. It dominated this coalition and the two partners were largely insignificant. After GE14, PAS decided to partner with UMNO in Muafakat Nasional, under the pretext of a new strategy called ta’awun siyasi or political cooperation. This is a looser partnership arrangement, in which the partners are not strictly bound to each other. The formation of Muafakat Nasional is a historic development, as it brings together the two biggest and oldest Malay political parties for the time in an exclusive manner. Bersatu joined the pact in 2020, making Muafakat Nasional the biggest Malay political force in Malaysia today. PAS sees its role as a unifier of the Muslim ummah, holding and keeping the peace between UMNO and Bersatu.
