The other side of Malaysia’s enviable economic and multiethnic stability: The Obstinate Resilience of ‘Money Politics
Many governments, in their zeal to progress and deliver the fruits of development, are caught in a web of unsavory habits and practices that impair not only their international image but also domestic legitimacy. One such perennially persistent and resilient disease is ‘money politics.’ Taking Malaysia as a case study, we note that despite sustaining a remarkable record of economic and multiethnic stability, the country has also been helpless in …

Singapore’s Ethnic Relations’ Scorecard
This is an assessment and analysis about the Singapore government’s management of its multiethnic, plural society; particularly its ethnic minority, the Malays. It appears that, in spite of its relative success in pursuing the national integration quest, the State (read: Government) is still grappling with some pertinent socioeconomic and religious identity issues besetting its Malay citizens. Not only has the latter’s malaise lagged behind their…
Singapore Malays: Being Ethnic Minority and Muslim in a Global City-State
The Quest for Leadership Legitimacy among Singapore Malays
Much has been written about the problems and concerns affecting the Malay ethnic minority in Singapore. These include issues such as their socio-economic situation, relatively low educational performance, and increasing incidences of social ailments like high rates of drug addiction, divorce and youth delinquency. In the context of Singapore's multiracial and multi-religious fabric, little has been articulated about what is here argued to be a co…
The Singapore Minority Dilemma
This article addresses two areas that have received little attention in discussions about Singapore's Malay dilemma: (1) the numerous and persistent Malay public seminars and conventions calling attention to their plight, and (2) the government's similarly persistent resistance to such calls, seen as inimical to the national interest
Islam in Southeast Asia
Islam is a major religion in Southeast Asia, with Indonesian Muslims comprising the largest Muslim population in the world. Events and developments since 11 September 2001 have added greater attention to Islam and its adherents in this part of the world. This general survey of Islam in Southeast Asia is intended to inform, explain and update readers about the more significant aspects of Islam in Southeast Asia, then and now. These include the fol…
Singapore Muslims: The Quest for Identity in a Modern City-State
The plight of ethno-religious minorities the world over can be meaningfully appraised by reference to the political context and circumstances within which such minorities operate. These include factors such as a country's history and religious demography, the state of majority-minority relations, geo-politics, the extent of development and modernization, and governmental policies. Thus, when one studies the case of Singapore's principal religious…
Constitutional‐Electoral Reforms and Politics in Singapore
The existence of a dominant one‐party system in Singapore makes legislative passage of constitutional and electoral system reforms easy. Such a system has enabled the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) government to formulate and implement sweeping reforms with little difficulty, however controversial they are. Since 1980, the Singapore government has instituted nonconstituency MPs, nominated MPs, group representation constituencies, and an elect…

The Socio-Economic Dimension in Singapore's Quest for Security and Stability
ingapore may have received kudos from the international community for charting many firsts, particularly on the economic front, but the fact remains that the republic is indeed a very small island-state and a state perpetually haunted by its sense of vulnerability. The country is merely 640 sq. km. in size and has a population of only 4 million people. Having no natural resources and comprising a predominantly ethnic Chinese populace in a region …
Illiberal democracy and the future of opposition in Singapore
There are quite a number of ways by which politics in Singapore can be meaningfully approached. One perspective is to focus on the guiding beliefs and values of the People's Action Party (PAP) governing elite and its nature of state governance since its assumption of power in 1959; it has ruled the state continuously since then. Its success in turning Singapore into a modern metropolis the envy of many has helped to buttress and legitimise its ru…
