Making sense of Malaysian politics
Manage episode 349115438 series 2909505
We freely acknowledge Malaysia can be a difficult country for us to keep track of, especially over the last four years which saw dramatic governmental changes mid-term. But no need to worry as we're joined by Dr. Lynette Ong of the University of Toronto to take us through the twists and turns of recent Malaysian politics and what the results of the recent election mean for the country. None of the major coalitions managed to achieve a simple majority in parliament after the election, leading to a period of negotiation between political forces. Anwar Ibrahim, who’s been the leader of the opposition on multiple occasions since 2008, has managed to create an alliance of centre-right and centre-left political parties to become the leader of the ruling coalition.
