Nurul Izzah è stata eletta vice presidente del Partito al cui comando c'è il padre, Anwar Ibrahim, che è anche il premier del paese. Nessuno nega che Nurul Izzah, già volto simbolo del movimento degli anni '90 noto come “Reformasi”, abbia grande carisma e capacità. Ma tutti pensano di essere di fronte a un ennesimo caso di nepotismo. Cosa che per la Malaysia, così come per tanti altri paesi asiatici, non sarebbe per niente una novità.

(Apologies for the audio quality in this episode - technical issues got in the way, but we couldn't let this conversation go unheard. Thanks for sticking with DoMore!) Anwar Ibrahim is in power, but does he really have the people's support? Malaysia's political landscape is shifting, and the Malay community's stance on Anwar, the rise of PAS, and the power of Sabah and Sarawak are shaping what happens next. In this episode, we break down why the Malays haven't rallied behind Anwar, how economic struggles fuel political discontent, and why social media is rewriting the rules of the game. But here's the real question: Can Anwar deliver? With UMNO losing ground, Sabah and Sarawak demanding more control, and economic recovery tied to political survival, his leadership is on the clock. Will reforms and stability win him long-term support, or is Malaysia heading toward another political shake-up? Tune in to get the full picture.

It's appalling. And therefore we have to speak up.” - Prime Minister Anwar IbrahimThe story of Anwar Ibrahim is one of the most remarkable in modern day politics. After being kicked out of the Malaysian government by his own mentor in 1998, Ibrahim quickly became the leader of Malaysia's opposition movement, only to later be imprisoned on false and politically motivated charges. Today, Ibrahim has gone from sitting in solitary confinement to sitting in the highest seat in Malaysian politics, after winning the premiership in 2022 at the ripe age of 75. He now leads one of the world's fastest growing economies, and one of the most diverse countries in his part of the world, which also happens to be a Muslim-majority democracy. Mehdi traveled to Kuala Lumpur to sit down with Prime Minister Ibrahim for a wide-ranging interview on his fascinating political journey; his growing ties to Russia and China; Trump, Islam and Islamophobia; and of course, his ferocious criticisms of the Gaza genocide and Western support for Israel.Paid subscribers can watch the full discussion above (free subscribers can watch a 10-minute preview).

Jim and Ray talk to Dr. Euan Graham of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute about how Malaysia's positive relations with Beijing--despite ongoing tensions in the South China Sea--may be attributed to its deep economic ties with China. In particular, Malaysia's Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has taken a friendly stance towards China and downplayed security concerns, even as China continues to press its maritime claims. They discuss Malaysia's approach to geopolitics as it is about to assume the rotating chair of ASEAN, with which Beijing has been slow-rolling South China Sea Code of Conduct negotiations for decades--a circumstance that has grated on leaders in the Philippines who have sought stronger ASEAN support. For this reason, ASEAN's centrality in managing security issues is increasingly in question.Malaysian leaders see their approach as being pragmatic and flexible, while they see the Philippine approach as being unnecessarily confrontational. In "There I was...", Jim tells the story of his meeting with Anwar's daughter and the U.S.'s efforts to secure Anwar's release from jail two decades ago.

How does a country deepen its relationship and do business with China without risking retaliation by the US and its allies? How can a nation protect its territorial claims in the South China Sea yet maintain a delicate balancing act with its neighbours with their own views and claims? Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim discusses these issues and more, including his deep anguish over the Israel-Gaza war, in this extended version of Talking Post with Yonden Lhatoo.

On this episode of Frankly Speaking, we hear from Malaysia's Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, after he addressed fellow leaders at the World Economic Forum's Special Meeting in Riyadh.    We ask him why he's advocating for Saudi Arabia to assume a larger role in world affairs and the current state of Malaysian-Saudi relations, drawing from his personal relationship with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince.   We also explore his critique of Western hypocrisy in the ongoing crisis in Gaza and address ongoing reports concerning high level Malaysian government corruption.

Après plus de six mois de guerre à Gaza, et plus de 34 000 morts, la Malaisie regarde toujours attentivement l'évolution de la situation au Moyen-Orient. Pour rappel, le pays n'entretient aucun lien diplomatique avec Israël, et a toujours défendu la cause palestinienne. Dans ce pays à majorité musulmane, les manifestations de soutien à Gaza sont régulières, depuis quelques mois. La société civile a par ailleurs boycotté beaucoup de marques jugées trop proches d'Israël. Du côté des politiques, le Premier ministre Anwar Ibrahim a multiplié les déclarations sur le sujet ces derniers mois. De notre correspondante à Kuala Lumpur,Dans un quartier de Kuala Lumpur, une foule aux couleurs de la Palestine. Aisha, citoyenne malaisienne, participe régulièrement aux manifestations organisées depuis quelque mois, pour soutenir Gaza.« Je soutiens cette cause depuis mes années étudiantes, c'est-à-dire 2009. C'était en Australie, puis quand je suis revenue en Malaisie, j'ai continué à me rallier à la cause palestinienne », explique Aisha. « Nous avons un génocide qui est en train de se produire sous nos yeux, qu'on peut suivre à travers les réseaux sociaux… et c'est comme si on ne pouvait rien faire à ce sujet ! »Boycott des marques jugées proches d'IsraëlCes derniers mois, la société civile malaisienne a également exprimé leur soutien aux Palestiniens, en boycottant bon nombre de marques jugées trop proches d'Israël.Le mouvement BDS – Boycott, désinvestissement et sanctions, en Malaisie –, a même été poursuivi en justice par McDonald's avant d'abandonner ces recours au tribunal. Selon le docteur Nazari, président de BDS Malaysia, ces actions démontrent l'importance du mouvement de boycott dans le pays.« Le boycott est très populaire maintenant, parce que plus de gens sont plus conscients de la tentative de génocide du régime israélien envers le peuple palestinien », explique-t-il. « Les gouvernements du monde n'arrêtent pas Israël qui est en train de commettre ce génocide. Donc la seule façon pour les gens ordinaires d'aider les Palestiniens est de simplement boycotter, c'est la seule arme que nous ayons, et ça peut être une arme très puissante, comme on a pu le voir dans le passé. »À lire aussiMobilisations pro-palestiniennes en France: bataille politique autour des universités« Où avons-nous jeté notre humanité ? »Du côté de la politique, la Malaisie a entretenu et continue d'entretenir des liens diplomatiques avec diverses figures de l'Organisation de libération de la Palestine, mais aussi des dirigeants politiques du Hamas, considéré comme groupe terroriste par une majorité de pays occidentaux. Lors de son déplacement en Allemagne, en mars dernier, le Premier ministre malaisien, Anwar Ibrahim, a réitéré sa position diplomatique : « Nos relations avec le Hamas concernent la branche politique du Hamas, et je ne présenterai pas mes excuses à ce sujet. Nous n'avons aucune connexion avec aucune branche militaire », a déclaré Anwar Ibrahim.S'en est ensuivi un discours agacé, après une prise de parole de son homologue Allemand Olaf Scholz. « Vous ne pouvez pas trouver de solution en étant ainsi d'un côté, en ce qui concerne l'examen d'une question particulière, et effacer 60 ans d'atrocités. La solution ce n'est pas juste de libérer les otages. Qu'en est-il des dépossessions ? De leur terre, leur droit, leur dignité, leurs hommes, leurs femmes, leurs enfants ? Où avons-nous jeté notre humanité ? Pourquoi cette hypocrisie ? », a martelé le Premier ministre.Le Premier ministre malaisien défend ainsi, comme ses prédécesseurs, une solution à deux États, tout comme une grande majorité de Malaisiens.À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: les manifestants pro-palestiniens de Columbia délogés, heurts sur le campus de l'UCLA

Tổng thống Philippines Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ngày 29/01/2024 bắt đầu chuyến viếng thăm cấp Nhà nước Việt Nam đến ngày 30/01. Riêng về vấn đề Biển Đông, nhân chuyến đi này, Marcos Jr. có lẽ sẽ cố thuyết phục Việt Nam ủng hộ đề xuất của ông về một bộ quy tắc ứng xử riêng giữa Philippines với Việt Nam và Malaysia. Nhưng nói chung Hà Nội vẫn dè dặt với những sáng kiến của Manila về vùng biển tranh chấp với Trung Quốc. Ngay trước khi kết thúc chức chủ tịch Hiệp hội các quốc gia Đông Nam Á ASEAN năm 2023, Indonesia đã huy động các ngoại trưởng của khối này đưa ra tuyên bố riêng về Biển Đông ngày 30/12 trong bối cảnh căng thẳng leo thang, đặc biệt là giữa Philippines và Trung Quốc. Bày tỏ “mối quan ngại”, tuyên bố của các ngoại trưởng ASEAN kêu gọi các quốc gia tranh chấp ở Biển Đông “ tự kiềm chế” và “tránh những hành động có thể làm phức tạp thêm tình hình”. Đặc biệt ASEAN đã đề cập đến “khu vực hàng hải của chúng ta” và tái khẳng định “sự thống nhất và đoàn kết” giữa các thành viên, trong đó có Philippines, một quốc gia sáng lập ASEAN đã có nhiều xung đột với Trung Quốc xung quanh khu vực Bãi Cỏ Mây ( Second Thomas Shoal ) trong vài tháng qua.Tuy nhiên, ASEAN đã không chỉ trích đích danh Trung Quốc, một đối tác thương mại lớn của khối và cũng không đưa ra bất kỳ trợ giúp cụ thể nào cho Philippines, ngoài việc nhắc lại cam kết về các cuộc đàm phán dường như không bao giờ kết thúc với Trung Quốc về Bộ quy tắc ứng xử ở Biển Đông COC. Một số nhà lãnh đạo ASEAN còn gián tiếp chỉ trích lập trường cứng rắn hơn của Philippines trong vùng biển tranh chấp với Trung Quốc. Vì thấy không thể trông chờ vào sự hỗ trợ của ASEAN, Philippines dường như đang muốn dựa vào liên minh chiến lược với các nước láng giềng có cùng chí hướng, đặc biệt là Việt Nam.Vào ngày 20/11/2023, ông Marcos Jr. tuyên bố Philippines đã tiếp cận các nước láng giềng như Việt Nam và Malaysia để xây dựng một “Bộ quy tắc ứng xử” (COC) ở Biển Đông riêng giữa ba nước, trong khi chờ bộ quy tắc ứng xử giữa ASEAN với Trung Quốc mà tiến trình đàm phán vẫn diễn ra quá chậm.  Đây không phải là lần đầu tiên tổng thống Marcos Jr. kêu gọi thúc đẩy các cuộc đàm phán COC riêng với các nước láng giềng của Philippines, vì ông muốn tận dụng ảnh hưởng tập thể để phản đối các điều khoản có lợi cho Trung Quốc trong bộ quy tắc ứng xử đang đàm phán với ASEAN. Đồng thời thông qua việc đe dọa đưa ra một COC riêng, tổng thống Philippines cố gây áp lực buộc Trung Quốc phải nhượng bộ trong hồ sơ này.Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ ngày 17/01/2024, nhà nghiên cứu Biển Đông Hoàng Việt nhận định về sáng kiến của tổng thống Marcos Jr.:“Philippines là một quốc gia nổi tiếng xưa nay có rất nhiều sáng kiến. Ngay cả sáng kiến đầu tiên về bộ quy tắc ứng xử COC từ những năm 1990 là bắt đầu từ phía Philippines. Chính vì vậy Philippines đã rất năng nổ trong việc tìm kiếm một bộ quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông. Nhưng Philippines là một nền dân chủ, một tổng thống chỉ nắm quyền một nhiệm kỳ tối đa là 6 năm và chính sách có thể thay đổi rất nhiều, cho nên lập trường của Philippines về vấn đề này luôn luôn thay đổi. Dưới thời tổng thống Aquino III, Philippines đã khởi kiện Trung Quốc ra Tòa Trọng tài Thường trực. Nhưng đến 2016, khi Duterte trở thành tổng thống thì Manila lại xoay trục về phía Trung Quốc, hoàn toàn muốn thúc đẩy quan hệ với Trung Quốc. Đến thời tổng thống Marcos Jr. thì lại có thay đổi.Có lẽ đây là một sáng kiến tốt của Philippines? nhưng thành công của nó thì chúng ta còn phải cân nhắc và chờ xem. Chưa kể là từ 2012, các nước ASEAN đã thống nhất với nhau một bộ quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông, gọi là bản dự thảo bộ quy tắc ứng xử số 0, do Indonesia khởi thảo. Tức là trước đó, do sự rất chậm trễ của tiến trình đàm phán về bộ quy tắc ứng xử, đã có những ý kiến rằng nên chăng các nước ASEAN tự mình đưa ra một bộ quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông, rồi sau đó mới đưa Trung Quốc vào? Toàn bộ các nước ASEAN đã đồng ý với bản dự thảo của Indonesia. Sau đó, ASEAN đã mời Trung Quốc tham gia, nhưng Trung Quốc từ chối. Bản dự thảo bộ quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông đó đã bị vứt vào sọt rác. ASEAN và Trung Quốc phải làm lại từ đầu trong tiến trình đàm phán về bộ quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông, tại vì trong bộ quy tắc ứng xử này, Trung Quốc là bên tham gia cực kỳ quan trọng, bởi Trung Quốc hiện là cường quốc lớn nhất khu vực, cả về kinh tế và về quân sự. Nếu không có sự đồng ý của Trung Quốc thì rất khó. Mười quốc gia ASEAN đã đồng ý một bản dự thảo bộ quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông thế mà vẫn chưa thể buộc Trung Quốc tham gia, thì liệu 3 quốc gia như Việt Nam, Malaysia, Philippines có thể khiến Trung Quốc chấp nhận ngồi vào bàn để đàm phán các điều khoản đó hay không? Tôi nghĩ là không chỉ Việt Nam, mà cả Malaysia đều phải cân nhắc kỹ vấn đề này.” Ngay sau tuyên bố của tổng thống  Marcos Jr. về việc soạn thảo một bộ quy tắc ứng xử riêng, phát ngôn viên bộ Ngoại Giao Trung Quốc Mao Ninh đã cảnh báo rằng “bất kỳ hành động nào rời xa khuôn khổ và tinh thần của Tuyên bố về cách ứng xử của các bên ở Biển Đông DOC đều sẽ vô hiệu”. Tuyên bố này không chỉ cho thấy Trung Quốc chống lại đề xuất của Marcos Jr., mà còn thể hiện quyết tâm của Bắc Kinh ngăn chặn Philippines gây rối loạn tiến trình đàm phán COC giữa ASEAN với Trung Quốc. Ngoài việc thuyết phục hai nước ủng hộ bộ quy tắc ứng xử riêng, Philippines còn đặt mục tiêu lôi kéo Việt Nam và Malaysia vào cuộc chiến chống lại Trung Quốc ở Biển Đông để củng cố vị thế thương lượng của mình. Thông qua hợp tác với các bên tranh chấp khác, Philippines cũng có ý định ngăn chặn Trung Quốc có những hành động gây hấn ở Biển Đông. Nhưng trong một bài viết đăng trên trang EastAsiaForum ( Diễn đàn Đông Á ) ngày 02/01/2024, ông Nian Peng, giám đốc Trung tâm Nghiên cứu châu Á Hồng Kông (RCAS), Hồng Kông, cho rằng Việt Nam và Malaysia khó có thể làm theo đề xuất của Marcos về việc xây dựng một COC riêng. Theo nhà nghiên cứu này, khác với Philippines, Việt Nam không có ý định khiêu khích Trung Quốc ở Biển Đông. Thay vào đó, Hà Nội chủ trương dùng biện pháp ngoại giao để quản lý một cách thận trọng các tranh chấp lãnh thổ với Trung Quốc mà không gây tổn hại quan hệ song phương. Việt Nam khó có thể tham gia phe chống Trung Quốc của Philippines.Đây phần nào cũng là ý kiến của nhà nghiên cứu Hoàng Việt: “Về mặt lý thuyết, rõ ràng Việt Nam luôn ủng hộ những sáng kiến nào khiến cho bộ quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông sớm được ra đời và có hiệu lực, mà phải có tính pháp lý cao và phải dựa trên Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển năm 1982. Nhưng trên thực tế thì Việt Nam rất dè dặt với sáng kiến này của Philippines, bởi vì, như đã trao đổi ở trên, Philippines rất năng động đưa ra các sáng kiến, nhưng họ lại làm không chắc chắn, cho nên nhiều lúc Việt Nam lo rằng Philippines có những hoạt động mang tính “phiêu lưu” và điều này thì hoàn toàn Việt Nam không muốn, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh mà Việt Nam mới đưa mối quan hệ với Trung Quốc lên tầm cao hơn, sau chuyến đi của chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình sang Việt Nam vào tháng 12 năm ngoái.Nói cho cùng Việt Nam rất muốn ủng hộ Philippines hoặc là muốn Bộ Quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông sớm ra đời, nhưng Việt Nam lo ngại, một là sự phiêu lưu trong các quyết định của Philippines, hai là sự chia rẽ vẫn còn rất lớn trong nội bộ ASEAN, ba là sức mạnh của Trung Quốc. Trung Quốc vẫn muốn sử dụng ASEAN và sử dụng Bộ Quy tắc ứng xử trên Biển Đông như là một công cụ để loại các quốc gia khác như Hoa Kỳ khỏi việc đàm phán này. Philippines là một đồng minh của Mỹ, nên dựa hẵn vào Mỹ, luôn viện dẫn Hiệp định hổ tương quân sự ký với Mỹ 1951. Trong khi đó, Việt Nam chọn cách khác, đó là dựa vào sức mình. Trong lúc Việt Nam đang "đu dây", gọi một cách chính thống hơn là "cân bằng quan hệ" với Mỹ và với Trung Quốc. Đương nhiên Việt Nam "cân bằng" không có nghĩa là sẽ nhượng bộ Trung Quốc trên vấn đề Biển Đông, một trong những vấn đề gay góc nhất trong mối quan hệ. Nhưng Việt Nam hiểu rằng tranh chấp Biển Đông sẽ kéo rất dài và trước mắt Việt Nam phải làm sao duy trì được môi trường hòa bình để tránh xung đột quân sự và để Việt Nam có không gian để phát triển được. Tức là phải vừa giữ được chủ quyền biển đảo của đất nước, nhưng phải duy trì được sự phát triển kinh tế và từ phát triển kinh tế mới tăng cường được sức mạnh quốc phòng của mình. Bản thân nhiều học giả Philippines bạn của tôi cũng đặt vấn đề là liệu Mỹ có thực tâm giúp Philippines hay không? Nghi ngại của họ không phải là không có lý: Vào năm 2012, Trung Quốc đã chiếm đoạt bãi cạn Scaborough của Philippines mà phía Mỹ chỉ đưa ra vài lời phản đối thôi, không đủ để khiến Trung Quốc dừng tay.”Còn Malaysia từ lâu đã duy trì cách tiếp cận không đối đầu trong các tranh chấp ở Biển Đông. Bất chấp căng thẳng ở Biển Đông, chính phủ Malaysia luôn nhấn mạnh đến giải pháp ngoại giao. Kể từ khi thủ tướng Anwar Ibrahim nhậm chức vào tháng 11/2022, quan hệ giữa Malaysia với Trung Quốc thậm chí còn chặt chẽ hơn. Ưu tiên hàng đầu của chính quyền Anwar là tăng trưởng kinh tế thay vì gây bất ổn ở Biển Đông. Indonesia cũng đã có những sáng kiến để quy tụ một số nước ASEAN đối đầu với Trung Quốc, nhưng vẫn không có kết quả mong muốn, như ghi nhận của nhà nghiên cứu Hoàng Việt: "Bốn quốc gia mà Trung Quốc luôn cho tàu xâm phạm liên tục vào vùng đặc quyền kinh tế là Việt Nam, Philippines, Malaysia và Indonesia. Năm trước, Indonesia đã có sáng kiến là thành lập liên minh cảnh sát biển giữa 4 quốc gia này hoặc cùng với các nước ASEAN. Nhưng cho tới nay, các bước tiến hành khá là chậm chạp.Indonesia cũng đã có sáng kiến là tổ chức các cuộc tập trận chung của các nước ASEAN. Năm vừa qua cũng đã có thực hiện nhưng không có nhiều nước tham gia, trong đó có Philippines."Dầu sao, vì là hai nước đều có tranh chấp chủ quyền với Trung Quốc ở Biển Đông và thường xuyên bị Trung Quốc sách nhiễu, uy hiếp ở vùng biển này, Việt Nam và Philippines buộc phải tăng cường hợp tác chiến lược để đối đầu với địch thủ chung. Cụ thể, theo báo chí Philippines, nhân chuyến viếng thăm Việt Nam của tổng thống Marcos Jr., Manila và Hà Nội sẽ ký kết Bản ghi nhớ (MOU) về hợp tác giữa lực lượng Cảnh sát biển Việt Nam và Tuần duyên Philippines. Về kinh tế, tổng thống Marcos Jr. hy vọng trong chuyến đi lần này Manila sẽ ký được với Hà Nội một hiệp định mua gạo của Việt Nam để bảo đảm an ninh lương thực cho Philippines.

The high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly is coming to a close, a week where the war in Ukraine and the defense of democracy took center stage. But no-shows included Russian President Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Rising Chinese power and influence in the Indo-Pacific region are a big focus for Anwar Ibrahim, the prime minister of Malaysia, balancing relations with both China and the United States. Christiane speaks to Ibrahim about this, as well as his own incredible journey from protest leader to political prisoner to prime minister.  Also: author Ann Patchett; author Loren Grush To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Depuis son élection en novembre dernier, Anwar Ibrahim est désormais Premier ministre de la Malaisie. Emprisonné à deux reprises pendant sa carrière politique, clamant à chaque fois son innocence, il a longtemps été perçu comme l'incarnation de la lutte pour les libertés civiles et la justice dans le pays. Aujourd'hui, après plusieurs mois de mandat, plusieurs ONG s'inquiètent et pointent du doigt l'absence de volonté politique en matière de liberté d'expression alors que des élections dans 6 États du pays auront lieu dans quelques mois. De notre correspondante à Kuala Lumpur, Dans la capitale malaisienne, les Organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) de défense des droits humains scrutent de près de possibles avancées en matière de liberté d'expression et beaucoup laissent entendre une certaine attente. C'est le cas de Sevan Doraisamy. Il est le directeur de l'ONG Suaram. « Ils font partie, depuis les années 1990, du mouvement de réformes. Donc, ils attendent changement par rapport aux gouvernements précédents. Mais ce qu'on voit maintenant, c'est que c'est la même vieille pratique qui continue », explique-t-il. « La question est : où est le point final à tout ça ? Parce que c'est comme ça que les autorités intimident et aussi arrêtent les gens qui organisent les rassemblements publics. On a l'impression que ça va vraiment très lentement en termes de droits civiques et de liberté d'expression. » ► À lire aussi : Anwar Ibrahim, le leader de l'opposition nommé Premier ministre en Malaisie Une utilisation de la police jugée « illégale et despotique » Juste après certains rassemblements publics qui ont donné lieu à des interrogations par la police au mois de mars, mais aussi à des enquêtes sur des critiques en ligne à l'égard du gouvernement, l'ONG Lawyers for Liberty (Les avocats pour la liberté), a récemment publié un communiqué dans lequel on pouvait lire « L'utilisation de la police pour protéger Anwar des critiques est “illégale et despotique” ». « On demande au gouvernement d'abroger certaines lois. Ils avaient fait la promesse d'en abroger dans leur manifeste », rappelle Zaid Malek, porte-parole de l'ONG. « Ce qui concerne plus ou moins ce qu'on appelle “The Sedition act”, ou encore le “communication anti media act”. Le droit d'expression, c'est le sacro-saint, et il doit être protégé coûte que coûte ! C'est à eux de le faire, c'est un gouvernement de réforme et c'est ce qu'ils avaient promis. Et c'est seulement ça qu'il faut faire. » Entre le marteau et l'enclume La liberté d'expression, lente selon ces ONG, reflète aussi la complexité de la situation politique d'Anwar, explique Sophie Lemière, chercheuse et anthropologue politique spécialiste de la Malaisie. « Je crois aujourd'hui qu'Anwar Ibrahim est véritablement prisonnier de ses allégeances politiques et qu'il est extrêmement difficile pour lui de manœuvrer entre son nouvel allié, le parti conservateur ethno-nationaliste malais qui, clairement, ne s'inscrit pas dans une grande démarche démocratique, et une opposition de majorité malaise très conservatrice », analyse-t-elle. « Et donc Anwar se retrouve vraiment entre le marteau et l'enclume pour tenter de conserver le pouvoir et ceci se fait aux dépens des libertés individuelles et des réformes promises depuis tant d'années. » Dans quelques mois, des élections auront lieu dans six États différents de la Malaisie. Le scrutin s'annonce crucial pour le Premier ministre. ► À lire aussi : Malaisie: le Premier ministre Anwar Ibrahim remporte un vote de confiance au Parlement

On 9 November 2022, Malaysia held its 15th General Elections. These elections took place within an unprecedentedly open and fragmented political landscape. Instead of the usual two main coalitions contending as frontrunners, Malaysia now has three main coalitions: Barisan Nasional (BN), Pakatan Harapan (PH), and Perikatan Nasional (PN). Not one of these coalitions won enough seats to form government, and it was only after much jockeying around that Pakatan Harapan, led by Anwar Ibrahim, was able to cobble together enough support to form the so-called unity government. Joining Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories, Dr Azmil Tayeb unpacks Malaysia's recent elections and its evershifting political landscape, discussing the return of ethnoreligious political parties, the future of coalition politics and the unexpected voting patterns of young Malaysian voters.

In the early 80's an organization called The National Endowment For Democracy(NED) was formed under the Reagan administration by a bi-partisan group of representatives, and bureaucrats to allegedly to foster democracy around the world. At its conception, 4 others subgroups were included; The International Republican Institute(IRI), The National Democratic Institute(NDI), The Solidarity Center, & The Center For International Enterprise(CIPE). This covered both political parties, Unions, & Private Business. According to former Intel Agents, & Journalists like the late Robert Parry, NED, & its other well funded, and well connected organizations were created to do what the CIA had been doing for decades, and that was to assist in the infiltration, and overthrow of foreign governments who weren't on board with the Western Elites business plans of expansion, and global imperialism. Today Ned funds over 2000 other NGO's around the world, and cand be found working closley with USAID, Freedom House, Bellingcat, Goerge Soros' Open Societies. Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, wherever there's a color revolution, you will find NED, and its vast legion of tax-exempt groups fomenting dissent, and looking for embers to heap gasoline upon. Often by way of education, or media including tv, print, radio, and internet. Under the guise of fairness, and equality NED does a little good in order to make way for its financial masters.

In the early 80's an organization called The National Endowment For Democracy(NED) was formed under the Reagan administration by a bi-partisan group of representatives, and bureaucrats to allegedly to foster democracy around the world. At its conception, 4 others subgroups were included; The International Republican Institute(IRI), The National Democratic Institute(NDI), The Solidarity Center, & The Center For International Enterprise(CIPE). This covered both political parties, Unions, & Private Business. According to former Intel Agents, & Journalists like the late Robert Parry, NED, & its other well funded, and well connected organizations were created to do what the CIA had been doing for decades, and that was to assist in the infiltration, and overthrow of foreign governments who weren't on board with the Western Elites business plans of expansion, and global imperialism. Today Ned funds over 2000 other NGO's around the world, and cand be found working closley with USAID, Freedom House, Bellingcat, Goerge Soros' Open Societies. Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, wherever there's a color revolution, you will find NED, and its vast legion of tax-exempt groups fomenting dissent, and looking for embers to heap gasoline upon. Often by way of education, or media including tv, print, radio, and internet. Under the guise of fairness, and equality NED does a little good in order to make way for its financial masters.

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History episodes from the BBC World Service. Malaysia's Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, recounts being put on trial for sodomy and corruption. Our guest is the BBC's South East Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head, who tells us about Malaysian political history. Iran's first women's minister describes the challenges she had to overcome. We hear how the seat belt and cat's eyes were invented. And a Swedish man remembers the chaos when his country switched to driving on the right-hand-side of the road. Contributors: Anwar Ibrahim - Malaysian Prime Minister. Mahnaz Afkhami - Iran's first Minister of Women's Affairs. Gunnar Ornmark - step-son of the inventor of the modern seat belt. Glenda Shaw - great-niece of the inventor of cat's eyes. Bjorn Sylvern - on Sweden switching to driving on the right-hand-side.

On 20 September 1998, the former deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, was arrested and charged on suspicion of committing fraud and sodomy. Homosexuality is illegal in Malaysia but charges are rare and the case was internationally condemned as being political motivated. Anwar believed that he was being framed by his former boss, the Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. Almost 25 years on, Anwar shares his memories of the time with Matt Pintus.
