The think tank pointed out that pre-election, there was a prevalent sentiment that"Malay rights were being eroded and that Islam is under threat by non-Muslims" — which led to the situation where numerous ethnic-based political parties were fighting over the same demographic, the Malays.
"First, as their livelihood is seen as connected to corruption, they want clean and non-corrupt leaders. Second, they are looking for leaders that will safeguard the position and ‘take care’ of the Malays,” it said. Iman suggested there were three main points that were presented as threats to the Malay community prior to the election: the alleged threat of DAP, liberalism, and the polarising effect of PH chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who was despised by the conservatives.
Iman Research focuses on the domains of protective security, peacebuilding and sustainable development, with experts in sectors of preventing and countering violent extremism, ethnoreligious issues, social policy and community resilience.
