BN PICKS ISMAIL KASSIM to STAND in ARAU (Bernama 22/06 22 JUN 1998 Candidate BN PICKS ISMAIL KASSIM TO STAND IN ARAU KANGAR, June 22 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN) has picked Arau divisional Umno Youth chief Ismail Kassim to stand on its ticket for next month's Arau parliamentary by-election, Perlis Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Shahid an Kassim announced today. Ismail, 38, who is also Shahidan's youngest brother and a UPM graduate, tendered his resignation as a senior Bernas general manager upon being chosen to stand for the by-election. Nomination has been fixed for Wednesday while July 4 has been set for polling if there is contest. Shahidan, who made the announcement at the Residency Hall in Jalan Kolam here said Prime Minister and BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad has endorsed Ismail's candidacy. Asked whether choosing his own brother to contest the seat would rekindle the controversial issue of nepotism, Shahidan said the matter did not arise at all. Shahidan said he was not involved in naming Ismail as the BN candidate for the by-election. "Don't link me with the selection," he said. Meanwhile, hundreds of well-wishers and supporters, gathered at the hall in the compound of the Menteri Besar's official residence, burst into applause as Ismail was named as the BN candidate. "I thank party president Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his deputy Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for choosing me," he said later. Before joining Bernas, the government-owned rice trading company, Ismail wa s teaching for 10 years. Ismail, who joined Umno 20 years ago, is also Perlis Umno Youth vice-chief. The Arau seat fell vacant following the death of the Member of Parliament Kamarudin Ahmad last May 25 of a stroke. -- BERNAMA AD rn.

    ISLAMIC RESURGENCE AND THE STABILITY OF MALAY NON-ELITE SUPPORT by GEOFFREY B. ROBINSON B.A. McGill University, 1978 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Political Science) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 1982 Geoffrey B. Robinson In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

Department of POLITICAL SCIENCE The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date AUGUST 26, 1982. Abstract This study analyzes the political implications of the Islamic resurgence in Malaysia. Based on a theoretical interest in the relationship between non-elite support and political stability, it examines the impact of Islam on the government's ability to maintain the support of the Malay population. Contrary to much of the existing literature on the subject, it argues that the Islamic resurgence, at present, does not pose a serious threat to the stability of Malay non- elite support for the political leadership. It further argues that the maintenance of Malay support has, so far, been achieved without jeopardizing the stability and legitimacy of the political system as a whole.

Shahidan berkata, Ismail direstui oleh UMNO Bahagian Arau dan dipersetujui oleh Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Shahidan berkata, beliau tidak terlibat dalam pemilihan Ismail sebagai calon pilihan raya kecil itu. "Jangan kaitkan saya dengan pemilihan ini," katanya. Mengenai pilihan raya kecil Parlimen Arau, Shahidan berkata, BN telah bersiap sedia untuk menghadapinya.

  • Electoral Politics in Malaysia: 'Managing' Elections in a Plural
    Malaysia: Lim Hong Hai Electoral Politics in Malaysia: ‘Managing’ Elections in a Plural Society Lim Hong Hai Introduction Elections are contests for the highest stakes in national politics and the electoral system is a set of predetermined rules for conducting elections and determining their outcome. Thus defined, the electoral system is distinguishable from the actual conduct of elections as well as from the wider conditions surrounding the electoral contest, such as the state of civil liberties, restraints on the opposition and access to the mass media. While all these aspects are of obvious importance to free and fair elections, the main interest of this study is the electoral system. The electoral system is important because it exerts an essential and independent effect on electoral outcomes, and hence on the balance of advantage among contestants in the struggle for representation and power in the political system. Channelled by and buffeting formal political structures, of which the electoral system is part, this contest for power is inevitably an expression of salient cleavages in society. In Malaysia, political mobilization follows ethnic divisions and the struggle for power is among political parties representing particular ethnic groups. It is therefore essential to begin with some basic information on the country’s political system and plural society. The Federation of Malaysia consists of 11 states in Peninsular Malaysia (i.e. the former Federation of Malaya, which gained independence from the British in 1957) and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, which joined the Federation of Malaya to form the Federation of Malaysia in 1963.
