This has drawn greater attention to the region and to the enhanced role it now plays in international relations and global economics. The sustained effort made by Southeast Asian nations since 1967 towards a peaceful and gradual integration of their economies has had indubitable success, and perhaps as a consequence of this, most of these countries are undergoing deep political and social changes domestically and are constructing innovative solutions to meet new international challenges. Big Power tensions continue to be played out in the neighbourhood despite the tradition of neutrality exercised by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The Trends in Southeast Asia series acts as a platform for serious analyses by selected authors who are experts in their fields. It is aimed at encouraging policymakers and scholars to contemplate the diversity and dynamism of this exciting region.

Historically, UMNO splinter parties have never been able to threaten UMNO in this state. Since independence, Johor has always been seen as an UMNO bastion. • PPBM has moved quickly to establish themselves in all parliamentary and state constituencies in Johor, however, and it has been rather successful in attracting support from those aged below 35. Their key challenge remains the rural and female voters. • Identity politics is a major hurdle for PPBM. The presence of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in the Pakatan Harapan coalition — of which PPBM is a member — is a hurdle in attracting Malay support. Among Malay voters, DAP is perceived as a threat to Malay privileges. • At the same time, PPBM leaders in Johor believe that their contribution towards the coalition is not yet fully recognized by their coalition partners who insist that PPBM contests only in constituencies with a large Malay population. Areas with a high percentage of Malay voters are difficult for PPBM to win because UMNO tends to enjoy huge support in such constituencies, and PPBM leaders argue that they deserve more mixed seats to run in as well. 17-J03213 01 Trends_2018-02.indd 7 8/1/18 9:42 AM • Winning Johor, or some other state, is crucial for PPBM. Should the coalition fail to win at the federal level, PPBM will need a base to avoid disintegration. 17-J03213 01 Trends_2018-02.indd 8 8/1/18 9:42 AM Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia in Johor: New Party, Big Responsibility By Wan Saiful Wan Jan1 1. INTRODUCTION On 9 September 2016 the Malaysian Registrar of Societies (RoS) gave approval for the establishment of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), following the splintering of the main party in the country’s ruling coalition, the United Malays National Organization (UMNO). PPBM was then officially launched on 14 January 2017, boasting some of the most famous names in Malaysian politics today as its top leaders. Malaysia’s longest-serving Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was named as Chairman, and former Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin as President. Former Chief Minister of the northern Malaysian state of Kedah, Mukhriz Mahathir, who is Mahathir’s son, was named Deputy President. Right from the start, PPBM projected itself as a party that champions the Malay agenda. This is a position traditionally dominated by UMNO, who has always been able to fend off other contenders.2 PPBM’s Malay agenda also bucks the trend among Malaysian opposition parties who usually prefer to take a more multiracial and multicultural approach. This is a bold strategy, and makes clear that PPBM aims to replace UMNO as the political party for ethnic Malays in Malaysia. Bearing in mind that 1 Wan Saiful Wan Jan is Visiting Senior Fellow at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore, and Chief Executive of the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), Malaysia. 2 A notable previous contender was the Parti Melayu Semangat 46 formed in 1988 by former Finance Minister and former Vice-President of UMNO, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. But the party survived for just eight years. Razaleigh dissolved the party and rejoined UMNO in 1996. 1 17-J03213 01 Trends_2018-02.indd 1 8/1/18 9:42 AM UMNO today is led by Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is suffering from various allegations of corruption and whose popularity rating has been very low for many months,3 the establishment of PPBM is a development that cannot be ignored. Soon after the party obtained the RoS approval, Muhyiddin declared that it would work towards wresting the southern state of Johor from the ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional (BN).4 This announcement was not surprising. Johor is after all Muhyiddin’s home ground. Not only is he Member of Parliament for the Johor constituency of Pagoh, he was Chief Minister of the state from 1986 to 1995. Johor is also the birthplace of UMNO and has remained the party’s bastion since 1946, which makes the proclamation by Muhyiddin worth scrutinizing further. Is this a realistic target for the fledgling party? This essay seeks to answer that question. It presents the author’s analysis of media coverage and academic literature on the topic, together with findings from an extensive fieldwork conducted between April and August 2017. During the fieldwork, interviews were conducted with national, state and divisional leaders and activists of PPBM, other parties in the opposition coalition, and UMNO. More time was spent in rural areas with a high proportion of Malay voters because these are the areas where PPBM is expected to focus on. The author also travelled to various parts of rural Johor to interview community leaders and villagers, including in eight FELDA5 settlements, to gauge grassroots reactions to PPBM. Following this introduction, the essay is divided into five sections. Section 2 provides a brief description of Johor’s demography, economy, and political history. Subsequently, it looks into the formation and the 3 Time magazine named Najib as among the five world leaders whose ratings are lower than President Donald Trump <http://time.com/4785127/michael-temer- nicolas-maduro-donald-trump/>.

  • Najib's Fork-Tongue Shows Again: Umno Talks of Rejuvenation Yet Oldies Get Plum Jobs at Expense of New Blood
    NAJIB'S FORK-TONGUE SHOWS AGAIN: UMNO TALKS OF REJUVENATION YET OLDIES GET PLUM JOBS AT EXPENSE OF NEW BLOOD 11 February 2016 - Malaysia Chronicle The recent appointments of Tan Sri Annuar Musa, 59, as Umno information chief, and Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah, 65, as Kedah menteri besar, have raised doubts whether one of the oldest parties in the country is truly committed to rejuvenating itself. The two stalwarts are taking over the duties of younger colleagues, Datuk Ahmad Maslan, 49, and Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, 51, respectively. Umno’s decision to replace both Ahmad and Mukhriz with older leaders indicates that internal politics trumps the changes it must make to stay relevant among the younger generation. In a party where the Youth chief himself is 40 and sporting a greying beard, Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak has time and again stressed the need to rejuvenate itself and attract the young. “Umno and Najib specifically have been saying about it (rejuvenation) for quite some time but they lack the political will to do so,” said Professor Dr Arnold Puyok, a political science lecturer from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. “I don’t think Najib has totally abandoned the idea of ‘peremajaan Umno’ (rejuvenation). He is just being cautious as doing so will put him in a collision course with the old guards.” In fact, as far back as 2014, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said older Umno leaders were unhappy with Najib’s call for rejuvenation as they believed it would pit them against their younger counterparts. He said the “noble proposal” that would help Umno win elections could be a “ticking time- bomb” instead.

  • Preliminary Phytochemical and Antimycobacterial Investigation of Some Selected Medicinal Plants of Endau Rompin, Johor, Malaysia
    Journal of Science and Technology, Vol. 10 No. 2 (2018) p. 30-37 Preliminary Phytochemical and Antimycobacterial Investigation of Some Selected Medicinal Plants of Endau Rompin, Johor, Malaysia Shuaibu Babaji Sanusi*, Mohd Fadzelly Abu Bakar, Maryati Mohamed and Siti Fatimah Sabran Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), Pagoh Educational Hub, 84600 Pagoh, Johor, Malaysia. Received 30 September 2017; accepted 27 February 2018; available online 1 August 2018 DOI: https://10.30880/jst.2018.10.02.005 Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB), the primary cause of morbidity and mortality globally is a great public health challenge especially in developing countries of Africa and Asia. Existing TB treatment involves multiple therapies and requires long duration leading to poor patient compliance. The local people of Kampung Peta, Endau Rompin claimed that local preparations of some plants are used in a TB symptoms treatment. Hence, there is need to validate the claim scientifically. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate the in vitro anti-mycobacterial properties and to screen the phytochemicals present in the extracts qualitatively. The medicinal plants were extracted using decoction and successive maceration. The disc diffusion assay was used to evaluate the anti-mycobacterial activity, and the extracts were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard chemical tests. The findings revealed that at 100 mg/ml concentration, the methanol extract of Nepenthes ampularia displayed largest inhibition zone (DIZ=18.67 ± 0.58), followed by ethyl acetate extract of N. ampularia (17.67 ± 1.15) and ethyl acetate extract of Musa gracilis (17.00 ± 1.00). The phytochemical investigation of these extracts showed the existence of tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, and steroids.

  • Malapportionment of Parliamentary Constituencies in Johor
    Malapportionment in the 2015 – 2016 Redelineation Exercises Prepared by: Penang Institute Malapportionment of Parliamentary Constituencies in Johor After 2016 Redelineation Proposal (First Display) Excessively under-represented parliamentary constituencies: No. Constituency Electorate As % of average 1 P162 Gelang Patah 112,081 176.71% 2 P159 Pasir Gudang 108,156 170.52% 3 P158 Tebrau 99,592 157.02% 4 P160 Johor Bahru 98,351 155.06% 5 P161 Pulai 95,980 151.32% 6 P163 Kulai 95,822 151.07% 5 P150 Batu Pahat 91,328 143.99% 6 P152 Kluang 88,212 139.07% Justification for excessive under-representation: None. They can have smaller electorates, if voters can be more evenly spread out across constituencies. At least one parliamentary seat should be taken from less populous areas and given to Greater Johor Bahru. Excessively over-represented parliamentary constituencies: No. Constituency Electorate As % of average 1 P143 Pagoh 36,387 57.37% 2 P142 Labis 37,569 59.23% 3 P157 Pengerang 38,338 60.44% 4 P155 Tenggara 40,670 64.12% 5 P151 Simpang Renggam 41,052 64.72% 6 P153 Sembrong 41,629 65.63% 7 P141 Sekijang 41,896 66.05% Justification for excessive over-representation: None. None of these parliamentary constituencies occupies a large landmass to qualify for over-representation as provided for by Section 2(c), the Thirteenth Schedule of the Federal Constitution. Tellingly, Mersing which has approximately twice the landmass than Pagoh has more voters than any of these. Ratio of Largest Constituency to Smallest Constituency: 3.08: 1 Changes in Malapportionment: Malapportionment is not mitigated by the redelineation proposal even though some victims of malapportionment have changed.

Since then, both conflict and compromise have occurred among the Europeans, Malays and Chinese, as well as other regional minorities, resulting in two regional dichotomies: (1) socially, the indigenous (Malays) vs. the outsiders (Europeans, Chinese, etc.); (2) politically, the rulers (Europeans and Malay nobles) vs. those ruled (Malays, Chinese). These features have a direct impact on economic development. A retrospective survey of regional political development and demographic features are therefore needed to provide a context for the later analysis of economic development. 1. Political development The formation of Singapore, Johor and the Riau Islands was far from a sudden event, but a long process starting with the decline of the Johor-Riau Sultanate in the late eighteenth century. In order to reveal the coherency of regional political transformations, the point of departure of this political survey begins much earlier than the researched period here. Political Development and Demographic Features 23 The beginning of Western penetration (pre-1824) Apart from their geographical proximity, Singapore, Johor and the Riau Islands had also formed a natural and inseparable part of various early unified kingdoms in Southeast Asia.
