    COMMENT | Almost D-day for DAP: Will it leave or stay in cabinet? | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    COMMENT | This Sunday, Aug 16, more than 4,000 eligible DAP delegates will cast their votes. They will choose whether (i) DAP leaders who are in the cabinet should resign their positions but continue to support the Madani government as backbenchers (“leave”) or (ii) DAP leaders should remain in the cabinet and serve out the rest of this parliamentary term (“remain”). There are good reasons for the delegates to vote for DAP to remain in the cabinet. These include... COMMENT | This Sunday, Aug 16,

    COMMENT | Harapan must return to reforms even if it's too late to fight BN-PN tide in GE16 | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Pakatan Harapan won 11 seats (DAP nine, PKR two), with two of its political heavyweights, Transport Minister Anthony Loke and former menteri besar Aminuddin Harun, losing their state seats in Chennah and Linggi respectively. Harapan’s vote share was 39.7 percent this year compared to 44.4 percent in the 2022 general election. COMMENT | As I predicted, BN-Perikatan Nasional easily won the Negeri Sembilan state election by winning 25 out of 36 state seats (70 percent), with BN winning 18 (includin

    COMMENT | BN-PN likely to form N Sembilan govt, but some seats can narrow margin of victory | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    COMMENT | Pakatan Harapan is putting up a brave fight to retain its hold on the Negeri Sembilan state assembly when the voters in the state cast their votes on Aug 1. Even though Harapan has been in control of the state legislature for two terms (from 2018 to 2023 and from 2023 to the recent dissolution of the state assembly), it has never had dominant control of the state assembly. Table 1 below shows that Harapan won only 53 percent of the popular vote and 20 out of 36 state seats in the 2018

    COMMENT | Putrajaya, Johor must put focus back on aligning policies | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    COMMENT | With the conclusion of the Johor state election on July 11, my hope as a former policymaker is that the federal and Johor state governments can put their focus back on aligning policies related to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JSSEZ). More than a year since Malaysia and Singapore signed the JSSEZ agreement, it is clear to me that there needs to be some significant adjustments on the part of the federal and state governments to make the planning and execution of the JSSEZ a

    COMMENT | Harapan, DAP leaders still in denial about Johor | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    COMMENT | BN had won a landslide victory in the Johor state election, bagging 48 out of 56 state seats (85 percent) with a popular vote of almost 60 percent. However, the reaction of Pakatan Harapan, especially DAP leaders, seems to reflect a state of continued denial with very little admission of what went wrong in a disastrous campaign for the coalition. When I first projected a landslide victory for BN in Johor, about one week into the campaign, this projection was met by scepticism among som
