  • A Study on Interruptions by the Chairperson in the Dewan Rakyat
    ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PARLIAMENT OF MALAYSIA: A STUDY ON INTERRUPTIONS BY THE CHAIRPERSON IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Bonn vorgelegt von Nor Azura binti A Rahman aus Johor, Malaysia Bonn 2021 Gedruckt mit der Genehmigung der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Zusammensetzung der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Stephan Conermann (Vorsitzende/Vorsitzender) Prof. Dr. Christoph Antweiler (Betreuerin/Betreuer und Gutachterin/Gutachter) Prof. Dr. Claudia Derichs (Gutachterin/Gutachter) Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26 November 2020 i ABSTRACT The election of the chairman of the House of Representatives, a chamber of the Malaysian parliament, has always been determined by the ruling party. The centralization of executive power has also absorbed the function of the chairman, so that the chairman acts partisanly in parliamentary debates. Also, the chairman has developed into an institution that carries out agenda-setting within the framework of the parliament. This raises the conceptual question of whether legislation in Malaysia is still performed independently by the parliament. The observed patterns require an attempt to re-conceptualize the roles as well as the assigned meaning of various expressions of parliamentary routine, including those that are unwritten and informal, for instance those which can also be termed “subjective forms of rule” at one's own discretion. In my doctoral thesis, I apply an interdisciplinary analytical framework that relates to accountability studies, as well as micro- sociological direct interaction, the interpretations of procedural interactions in conversation, as well as studies of political discretion in parliamentary operations. My main research question asks how the Speaker of Parliament fulfils his responsibilities by disrupting ongoing parliamentary debates.

  • PH Coalition Not Affected by Infighting Within Component Parties - Dr Mahathir Mahathir BERNAMA 22/01/2019
    PH coalition not affected by infighting within component parties - Dr Mahathir Mahathir BERNAMA 22/01/2019 VIENNA, Jan 22 (Bernama) -- Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the coalition would not be affected by any infighting in certain parties and so far, the coalition has been functioning well as the government. "Within the parties themselves there maybe some fights for positions (and) so on but that has not affected the PH coalition. We have four parties and one not in the coalition but in the government (Warisan). "The four parties are equally strong and we have to reach (a) consensus whenever we have anything to decide... there might be differences but we can live with it and up to now we are functioning quite well in the government," he said during a Dialogue Session with Malaysians residing in Austria and the Slovak Republic here last night. He was responding to a question from the floor whether the coalition had infightings after being elected the government since May last year. PH comprises four parties – PKR, DAP, Pertubuhan Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah). Replying to another question, Dr Mahathir Mohamad said nuclear power would not be the source of energy for Malaysia until experts and science find a solution for treating nuclear waste and reverse the process of extracting the radiation so it would not affect people's health. The prime minister said the waste generated by nuclear power was dangerous and trying to get rid of it would be a problem. "Because up to now science has not managed to reverse the process, you can activate the material to function and have radiation ( for power but) no way to reverse it.
