  • DAP Moves to Ease Fears Over Islamic State Malaysiakini.Com January 21, 2011
    DAP moves to ease fears over Islamic state Malaysiakini.com January 21, 2011 Following attempts by Umno and MCA to intimidate Chinese voters in Tenang with PAS' Islamic state agenda, DAP is moving to allay such fears, stressing that PAS is now a party that fights for all ethnic groups. "MCA is sleeping, thinking that it is still 1999 when people were afraid of an Islamic state. In fact, PAS is now talking about a welfare state and its battles for the benefit of all races," Johor DAP chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau said at a DAP dinner in Labis last night. "Umno is the one still talking racial politics. We don't call our home minister Hishammuddin (Hussein), we call him Kerismuddin because he always brandishes the keris." Besides Boo, other DAP leaders expressed their support for PAS at the RM50 a head fund-raising dinner attended by some 800 passionate Chinese supporters, where DAP also raised another RM4,555 in on-the-spot donations. DAP Rasah MP Anthony Loke rebutted MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek's statement earlier that Chinese who voted for PAS would be sending the Malay community the message that they were willing to accept the country as an Islamic state. "We will vote for PAS on Jan 30 for a fair and corruption-free government, not for an Islamic state. We vote to change the government, not merely for PAS, nor an Islamic state," Loke (right) said. The party youth chief then turned aggressive: "If we vote for Umno, it means that we accept Umno's continued oppression of us and allow the party to continue its extreme racial statements and behaviour." Islamic state is not Pakatan common policy His statement was echoed by DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang, who pointed out that Penang, Selangor and Perak, which are ruled by Pakatan Rakyat, have not turned into Islamic states.

  • 'I Fear Not Jail, I Fear Only Allah' Free Malaysia Today 27 March 2014
    ‘I fear not jail, I fear only Allah’ Free Malaysia Today 27 March 2014 Oleh Luke Rintod PENAMPANG : Even with a looming five-year jail sentence hanging over his head, defiant Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim told supporters in Sabah Wednesday he feared no one but Allah. “I fear not to be jailed. I fear only Allah. They can send me to jail again, and I will continue to speak up for the people and against Umno. I will fight the corrupt Umno leaders till the end,” he thundered at a Reformasi 2.0 gathering of about 500 at Kampung Ramaya in Penampang, last night. The PKR supremo blasted the current Umno-led federal government as the most rotten regime Malaysians had ever witnessed. He said opposition and hatred towards the Umno-led federal government is mounting by the days and it would be unstoppable. “Umno is ruining this country with corruption, indignity and incapability of good governance. The people must stop this rot. “Stop Umno from playing racial and religious issues, and the only way is throwing them away from Putrajaya,” said Anwar in his hour-long fiery speech that captivated his responsive audience. Anwar who is also the MP for Permatang Pauh said the result from the Kajang by-election in Selangor showed that PKR and Pakatan Rakyat have the support of 60% of the electorates and that PKR has the support of the majority of Malays too. “So all the talks by Umno leaders that PKR is only supported by the Chinese and Indian communities proved to be false.

  • 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.
