This project aims to monitor and analyse the drivers and players in Malaysia’s evolving political system. It seeks to discover the key implications of rising political instability for the governance of Malaysia. Themes of interest include party and coalition politics, state-federal relations, public health and security, race and religion, and the mobilisation of youth and civil society. To contribute to research and public awareness, the Programme produces papers and commentaries, collaborates with experts, and organises events to discuss current developments of interest.
