After another three years in prison, Anwar was released in 2018, following a royal pardon from Malaysia’s king. His political coalition had joined forces with his former enemy Mahathir Mohamadto win the election that year. They capitalised on public anger at then Prime Minister Najib Razak and the multi-billion dollar 1MDB corruption scandal… ending Barisan’s six decades in power. New PM Mahathir promised to hand the reins to Anwar within two years. But that agreement - and the government - collapsed after just 22 months.

Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin is on trial for money laundering and abuse of power. He’s accused of using his position to receive $51 million in bribes into his party’s bank account. He rejects the allegation, saying the money was for projects to help the people and the economy. Muhyiddin’s coalition narrowly lost to Anwar’s in the 2022 election. |
At a Kuala Lumpur sessions court, the prosecution alleged that Muhyiddin abused his position as prime minister to receive bribes of 232.5 million ringgit ($51.44 million) in a bank account belonging to his party, Bersatu. The former premier and opposition leader was charged with four counts of abuse of power and two counts of money laundering. "Jana Wibawa was a project during the Covid-19 pandemic to redevelop the country's economy especially to save bumiputera contractors who would have gone bankrupt. "Sadly, this was politicised as if it is a scheme to steal the country's money," said Muhyiddin. |

(SOT hustle bustle) It’s early on a Wednesday morning and the crowds have descended on one of the biggest markets in the capital Kuala Lumpur. With its mix of cultures, Chow Kit market reflects Malaysia’s social fabric. (REVEAL 1) By law, all Malays are Muslim - they make up nearly 60% of citizens…
(REVEAL 2) Together with the other indigenous people, they are granted special status in the constitution…
( REVEAL 3) The rest are ethnic Chinese, Indians and other minority groups. Anwar is the first prime minister from a multiracial party in Malaysia. He has long promised equal rights for all. But it’s a divisive issue in a country where politicians exploit race and religion to win votes. Anwar UPSOT : We will never compromise on the principle that this is a country for all Malaysians, irrespective of race and creed. |
Article 160 of Malaysia’s constitution: “Malay” means a person who professes the religion of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay language, conforms to Malay custom and— (a) was before Merdeka Day born in the Federation or in Singapore or born of parents one of whom was born in the Federation or in Singapore, or is on that day domiciled in the Federation or in Singapore; or (b) is the issue of such a person; https://www.jac.gov.my/spk/images/stories/10_akta/perlembagaan_persekutuan/federal_constitution.pdf Bumiputeras (Malays + other indigenous peoples) make up 69.9% of Malaysia's citizens.

In the northern state of Penang, first-time MP Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan is known as “the giant killer”... after he handed Anwar’s daughter Nurul Izzah a shock defeat in the last election. The constituency they contested in has long been seen as Anwar’s stronghold. Fawwaz is a preacher from the hardline Malaysian Islamic Party, or PAS. It has the most seats in the opposition coalition.

biggest victory in its history.
(00:48:21). If (elections in) the six states turn out
the same way,

part of it goes against Islamic values.

Some of the most vicious and viral attacks are on TikTok - a social media platform popular with the youth/young. Half of the electorate nationwide are below 40 years old…
and the opposition Perikatan Nasional has also tapped on
TikTok to better connect with young voters.

Half of the electorate nationwide are below 40 years old… Malaysians aged 18 to 39 comprise half or 50.3% of voters on the electoral roll, which will be used in the 15th general election (GE15). The electoral roll as of August 2022 was officially released by the Election Commission (EC) today, after it announced November 19 as the polling date for GE15 and the state elections for Perlis, Pahang and Perak. https://www.thevibes.com/articles/news/74747/youth-voters-form-50-of-ge15-electoral-roll-ec 10689326/21173638*100 = 50.4% |
