Conference on Election and Democracy in Malaysia 2011, 2011

The Sarawak State Assembly was dissolved on March 21st 2011, paving the way for the 10th Sarawak State Election (SSE). Nomination was held on April 6th 2011 and polling date was set to be on the 16th April 2011. This allows a period of 10 days for the contesting parties to campaign. A survey was carried out prior to the campaign period to gauge the opinion of the youths in the Bidayuh-majority area of N16, Bengoh to find out their attitudes and outlooks on several issues, including their opinion on local, state and national issues; selections of prospective election candidates and political parties involved; campaign methods; and succession plan. A total number of 20 respondents were randomly selected to be interviewed. The objectives of the survey were to collect input and information about the current political scenario in Sarawak, especially in the context of SSE 2011, to identify the issues that may arise in the SSE, to review methods and strategies that will be carried out by the political parties involved in this election, and to review the perceptions and views of the Bidayuh-majority area in the context of the SSE 2011. This early review would then be compared with the actual election result for the area to identify the voting trends among the Bidayuh-majority area of N16 Bengoh.

ELECTORAL PATTERN AMONG THE MALAY VOTERS IN SELANGOR IN 14TH GENERAL ELECTION 2018. ELECTORAL PATTERN AMONG THE MALAY VOTERS IN SELANGOR IN 14TH GENERAL ELECTION 2018

The 14th Malaysia General Election (GE14) has featured a very interesting competition between the Barisan Nasional that ruled Malaysia since independence and Pakatan Harapan, that has been gaining positive momentum among the voters in Malaysia. During the 13th General Election, Barisan Nasional won 133 parliamentary seats out of 222 seats contested and managed to form the government with a simple majority. Although Barisan Nasional managed to form the federal government in GE13, at the Selangor State Assembly, Pakatan Rakyat managed to form the government by winning 44 seats from 56 seats contested and Barisan Nasional only managed to win 12 seats. What is more interesting, in PRU14 shows the emergence of the mainstream political wave among Malay voters who have turned to Pakatan Harapan compared to the GE13. Pakatan Harapan has not only succeeded in taking over the federal government but has also succeeded in strengthening their political domination in Selangor. At the federal level, PRU14 result shows that Pakatan Harapan has won 113 of the 222 seats contested and Barisan Nasional only won 79 seats. Meanwhile, in Selangor, Pakatan Harapan has won 51 seats and Barisan Nasional only won 4 seats. This scenario indicates a change of electoral pattern among the Malay voters who is the backbone of UMNO and Barisan Nasional over the years. Therefore, this article analyzed the changes of Malay electoral pattern from various perspectives with special focus on the Selangor State Assembly seat.

Sarawak State Election 2011: Survey of Malay Voters’ Behaviour in BN Critical Areas of N24 Beting Maro and N30 Saribas

2013

The 2011 Sarawak State Election (SSE 2011) has proved to be one of the most exciting and intense elections the country has seen throughout its almost 50 year history. Results from the state and general election have been alarming with the opposition parties increasing their seats in both the state and national level. Although Barisan Nasional (BN) managed to retain its two-thirds majority seats (55 out of 71) during SSE2011, it was still considered a major loss. The opposition managed to increase their seats in thestate legislative assembly from two in 2001 and then nine in 2006 to 16 in 2011. This clearly indicates a change in voting behaviour among the voters in Sarawak. In GE 2008, five state governments fell to the hands of various parliamentary opposition parties. Thus, it gives some impacts to both the ruling government and the opposition political parties. The declining of seats and majority votes obtained in certain areas indicated a preliminary warning to BN. In view of tha...

Contest Over the Malay Votes in the Marginal State Seats of Perak: A Case Study of N.43 Tualang Sekah

2021

This study was conducted by employing the observational, electoral and statistical analyses to examine the ferocious battle over the Malay votes for the 14th General Election (GE14) in the marginal state seat of N.43 Tualang Sekah, Perak. There were three main findings of this study. Firstly, Barisan Nasional/United Malays National Organization (BN/UMNO) relied heavily on the party and governmental machineries and stronger grassroots in its campaign, Pakatan Harapan/Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PH/PKR)'s campaign focused on cybercampaign, walkabouts, and programmes and rallies featuring party heavyweights while Parti Islam Se Malaysia (PAS)'s campaign was less active due to strong reliance on grassroots and limited resources. Secondly, BN/UMNO's victory in this seat was shaky because over half of the voters voted against it by voting for either PH/PKR or PAS. BN/UMNO's Malay votes plunged while its Chinese and Indian votes deteriorated. BN/UMNO held on to this seat since it won half of the Malay votes owing to its strong support among female and older Malays. On the other hand, PH/PKR failed to flip this seat since it lost most of the protest votes against BN/ UMNO among Malay voters to PAS. This inevitably complicated PH's efforts to form the new state administration since it was short of a single seat to rule Perak before the defections of UMNO's assemblypersons. Thirdly, the issues of the slowing economy and soaring cost of living trounced the racial and religious sentiments since almost two-thirds of Malay voters considered the former in the

Asian Social Science, 2014

The population is comprised of people eligible to vote in the election to 13 in the state of Kedah and the sample of 500 respondents. The study took into account six focus areas in Kedah which cover four parliamentary constituencies and divided into six in the state of Kedah. They are Jerlun constituency (DUN Kota Siputeh) and Kubang Pasu (DUN Jitra and Bukit Kayu Hitam) which represent the ruling party-BN, while for the opposition, this study chooses the Parliament of Merbok (DUN Tanjung Dawai dan Bukit Selambau) and Pendang (DUN Tokai). The findings show that the quality and standard of living are the most important issues that are expected to be manipulated by the public during the election campaign as compared to other issues. Voters are so concerned by the rising cost of living in recent years due to the rising of prices, including fuel prices, and studies show they (people) feel pressured on the rising of living cost. As such, the contesting parties must update this problem and try to give priority to the development of physical infrastructure such as physical development, economic and social in one to match that quality of people's living standards and this should be done carefully.

The 13th Malaysian general election: Uncertainties and expectations

Malaysia held its 13th general election on May 5, 2013 which was a contest between two coalitions, the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) and the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR). The latter's expectations for an outright win did not materialise. The election results have shown a rather status quo with minor losses and gains for the two coalitions. This study analysed the 13th election and found a number of noticeable trends. The Chinese voters have voted overwhelmingly for the opposition. The political culture of Malaysia is also shifting toward more participatory type with increased social and economic mobility. The days of one-party dominance in Malaysia are apparently over. The electoral politics in Malaysia might become more polarised along ethnic lines which may require reshuffling of its coalition framework and design.

Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, 2019

This study aims to determine Lun Bawang voters' opinion on issues that would influence their vote in Bakelalan (N.81), Sarawak. A survey was conducted in the village of Kampung Puneng Berayong, located in the Lawas P.222 parliamentary constituent. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was distributed to 250 Lun Bawang voters. The questionnaire highlighted key issues on development, NCR land, and good governance. It is assumed that rural voters tend to vote based on the rational choice approach which meant they would consider what benefits could be gained by supporting a particular candidate or political party. It was found that local electoral issues such as development and native customary rights (NCR) land were more favored compared to national issues on corruption such the 1MDB case.
