Why real political change in Malaysia is unlikely FMTNews FMTEng
Malaysia is under pressure from various corners of the nation, as to what the country should look like in the future.
The two PH governments are most probably just a blimp in what is the natural government of Malaysia. These blimps were not caused by popular mandates, but by political infighting between a fractured and now splintered Malay polity, who used Pakatan Harapan for their ends in power plays. In GE15, PH did not win enough seats to govern. It needed Malay-centric representation with influence beyond its 30 MPs to govern. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim must govern as a primarily Malay-centric prime minister, if he is going to stay in power.
However, the Sultans were granted authority over Malay customs and Islam. They also had some discretion over the selection and appointment of their chief ministers, and hold pre- and post-executive council meetings with their executive councillors. This generation of rulers have great pride and feelings of responsibility for the legacy and heritage of their forefathers. The sultans will maintain the sovereignty of their respective Malay states, and will do this through their respective responsibilities for Malay culture and Islam. No ruler would ever allow anyone who did not respect this point of view as their chief minister.
