GE14 was a monumental day in Malaysian history as the people voted out the incumbent Barisan Nasional government, which had been at the helm of Malaysia for 60 years. However, the events that have transpired over the past couple of years, namely Langkah Sheraton, has made some people wonder “what did GE14 actually accomplish? Did the people change anything?”Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ampang P99 seat is a nine corner fight featuring five women candidates. Will this just be a toss up between former Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities and incumbent MP Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin who will be defending her seat under the Parti Bangsa Malaysia ticket and Pakatan Harapan's Rodziah Ismail? Will voters forgive her for the Sheraton move? Zuraida won the seat in GE14 under the PKR ticket and in 2020, she infamously joined the Sheraton Move which saw her defecting to Bersatu leading to the downfall of the Pakatan Harapan government. For insights, we speak to Shazwan Mustafa Kamal, Associate Director, Vriens and Partners.Image credit: Shutterstock

No other seat exemplifies the dilemma between party and candidate that voters are faced with better than this seat. It's a crowded field with 7 contenders for the seat, but all eyes are on caretaker Health Minister Khairy Jamaludin running for Umno, Barisan Nasional and Datuk. R. Ramanan of PKR, defending what is long seen as the PKR stronghold. The incumbent MP, M. Sivarasa held this seat with an overwhelming majority in GE14 but was dropped this time round. For insights, we speak to Dr Lau Zhe Wei, Assistant Professor, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).Image credit: Shutterstock

19th November will be the day that Malaysians head to the polls for our 15th General Elections. With the impact of COVID-19 still fresh in our minds, and an urgent need for healthcare reforms, will we see healthcare being a priority on political parties' manifestos? Independent health policies specialist Dr Khor Swee Kheng joins us to look back on what we've achieved since GE14, and what's on his wishlist for GE15 manifestos. Image Credit: Shutterstock

More details continue to emerge on the Ministry of Defence's award in 2011 of a RM9 billion contract to Boustead Naval Shipyard for six littoral combat ships. PKR MP for Subang, Wong Chen, helps us sift through some of these details and how this scandal might shape the trajectory of GE15 similar to how 1MDB did for GE14.

After decades of authoritarian rule by the Barisan Nasional coalition, a new alliance, Pakatan Harapan, was voted in in 2018, marking Malaysia's first-ever transfer of federal power through elections in what was widely heralded as the start of a democratic transition. But that new government collapsed within two years, and Malaysian politics has remained unstable ever since. With elections likely to be called soon, what accounts for the remarkable turbulence in Malaysian politics, and what does it say about how regimes are remade? Joining Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories, Professor Meredith Weiss discusses the state of politics in Malaysia, reflecting on the promises, both fulfilled and broken, brought about by GE14, and, looking to the future, considering ways for Malaysia to continue moving forward. About Meredith Weiss: Meredith Weiss is Professor of Political Science in the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy at the University at Albany, SUNY. In several books—most recently, The Roots of Resilience: Party Machines and Grassroots Politics in Southeast Asia (Cornell, 2020), and the co-authored Mobilizing for Elections: Patronage and Political Machines in Southeast Asia (Cambridge, 2022)—and a dozen edited or co-edited volumes, she addresses issues of social mobilization, civil society, and collective identity; electoral politics and parties; and regime change and institutional reform in Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia and Singapore.

For the last few months, the team behind the FreedomFilmFest have been releasing a specially curated Freedom film playlist every weekend - dubbed ‘Weekend Watch with FreedomFilmFest' - on their YouTube channel. This week, the film set to be re-released is the 2017 documentary film "Saving Malaysia". The film looked at the Pakatan Harapan coalition that emerged prior to GE14 to ‘Save Malaysia’ and which saw old political enemies become allies, with the collective aim of toppling the Barisan National led government of the time. We find out more about what the film explored from its director, Sheridan Mahavera, who is also a former journalist and who currently manages the Freedom Film Network’s programme to reform film censorship.Image credit: Wikimedia Commons

Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) was registered by its founding members on 30th April 1998, though it was only formally registered 10 years later. But from 1998, they have been at the forefront in fighting for the rights of the working class, including on issues like housing for all, rights for workers and decent living wages, climate change and renewable energy, quality and affordable healthcare, and so much more. Though faring poorly at GE14, the party continues to advocate for and help marginalised communities in Malaysia. In a belated nod to International Workers' Day, we speak to Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj, the Chairperson of Parti Sosialis Malaysia, about all the party does to help the working class community, and their plans for the future.

The world of comics, graphic novels, and illustrations in Southeast Asia has been gaining its fair share of global attention. These visual mediums have provided markers of national identity, such as that found in Lat's cartoons, and have continuously informed our imaginations and realities. But what is it that makes these ways of storytelling so treasured? And how do they inform our collective and individual ways of seeing and thinking? Join Eisner award-winning comic artist, Erica Eng and New Naratif Comics and Illustrations Editor, Charis Loke as we explore these question and their personal approaches to the visual form. Speakers: Karl Nadzarin, Erica Eng, Charis Loke Notes: 1. For more on the idea of drawing as seeing and thinking, see John Berger's wonderful essays 'To Take Paper, To Draw' and 'The Basis of All Painting and Sculpture is Drawing' which can both be found in the Verso publication of Landscapes: John Berger on Art. 2. Charis's Bersih rally sketches can be found here, while her GE14 sketches are on New Naratif (A Tale of Three Ceramahs; A Little Night Music; A Nation Votes). 3. Read Shaun Tan's thoughts on his seminal wordless graphic novel The Arrival, in particular, what he says about the intuitive resonance of looking at pictures as well as where he's pulling his visual references from. See also the wordless novels from the 1910s-1930s in woodcuts by Frans Masereel, like The City (Die Stadt) and Passionate Journey (Mon livre d'heures). 4.

Less than two years on from Malaysia’s political emancipation with GE14 and once again, the country is in political turmoil. Chandran Nair, the Founder and Chief Executive of the Pan-Asian think-tank Global Institute for Tomorrow (GIFT), offers a regional perspective of the crisis while attempting to view the current impasse through a positive lens.

The Electoral Reform Committee was formed shortly after GE14, in August of 2018. They were given a two year mandate, with their deadline fast approaching, to come up with ways to reform our domestic processes and close electoral loopholes. Following the submission of their interim report to the Prime Minister, we speak to Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman, Chairman of the ERC, to discuss their progress, the proposals that have been put forward, and what will come after.

New Mandala's editor Liam Gammon talks to Assoc Prof Bridget Welsh about how the institutions Pakatan Harapan inherits from BN complicate reform efforts, and ANU's Dr Ross Tapsell talks to Prof Shamsul AB about the social and ideological constants that GE14 didn't change.

There has been a lot of discussion about the remarkable result of the recent GE14, with many factors influencing the outcome. This week, we explore the role of the arts during the election period, and how politically-driven crafts might resonate with the public. We speak to two artistes turned politicians to hear their experiences and insights.

It’s been the year for PR vids, hasn’t it?

As Malaysia gears up for its 14th General Elections on 9th May, we take a look at what are some of the bread and butter issues that will be in the spotlight - MONEY FM 89.3 takes a look at this from an economic perspective with our expert guest Alvin Liew, Senior Economist, UOB Bank.

As Malaysians head to the 14th General Elections (GE14), the stakes have seldom been higher. The nature of the nation is now fiercely contested. While many Malaysians see the GE14 election season as another fraught debate over the core economic issues of the cost of living, inflation, and health and education infrastructure, there are also renewed fissures over the roles of religion and culture in determining Malaysia in the 21st century. And all of these issues arising at a time of great uncertainty in the region, as China rises and the United States retreats. In this discussion, recorded at an ANU Malaysia Institute—New Mandala public forum in Kuala Lumpur on 8 February 2018, Merdeka Center’s Ibrahim Suffian, Universiti Malaya Professor Edmund Terence Gomez, Malaysia Muda convener and lawyer Fadiah Nadwa Fikri, and ANU historian Dr Amrita Malhi unravel some of these themes with the latest available data and analyses with New Mandala Contributing Editor Kean Wong.
