    Seminar Abstract

    The 14th Malaysian General Election is a historic occasion in Malaysia’s political history. Not only has former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad staged a stunning comeback as the new Malaysian Premier, his Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition has successfully unseated the incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN) Government which has ruled Malaysia for an unbroken 60 years since the country’s independence. The outcome of GE14 has overturned prevailing and widespread predictions that the opposition’s chances are weak because of its fragility, whereas the BN will prevail in spite of its political woes. This seminar seeks to analyze the results and implications of the dramatic turn of events in GE14.  Specifically, this session will assess the factors which have shaped the outcome of the election, and address the impact of GE14 on the future of Malaysia’s domestic politics.  Thus, there will be discussions on topics such as voting patterns across different parts of Malaysia, voters’ choices and sentiments, the make-up of the new PH government, the future of the Barsian Nasional, the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), and impact of GE14 on the ethnic, religious, and social issues in Malaysia, etc.

    The seminar will feature a panel of RSIS researchers who will assess different aspects of the election.  Dr Mohamed Nawab, Coordinator of the Malaysia Programme, will address the topic of Malay votes and Northern States.  Dr Farish Noor, Coordinator of the PhD Programme, will discuss the issue of Sabah and China’s investments in Malaysia.  Research Analysts Mr Rashaad Ali will analyze the Southern States and Ms Chan Xinying will assess Penang and Chinese votes.  Mr Prashant Waikar will examine Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
