In late February 2020, the Mahathir Mohamad-led Pakatan Harapan
(Harapan, or Pact of Hope) government ended abruptly. Amidst
ensuing confusion, Muhyiddin Yassin led defecting Harapan Members
of Parliament, joined by UMNO and PAS, in an ad hoc Perikatan
Nasional (PN, or National Alliance) coalition to form a "backdoor
government". The PN protagonists cast themselves as a "Malay-Muslim
front" for preserving Malay dominance. Yet they unwittingly exposed
the parlous state of their "Malay politics", as shown by an absence
of "Malay unity", strongly contested claims to represent the
Malays, intense party factionalism, and subverted leadership
transitions. The parlousness of Malay politics emerged from the
failure of the Malay political class to meet many challenges
between 1997 and 2018. As the New Economic Policy and Vision 2020
political orders shed their combined twenty-five-year hegemony,
Malay politics could not recover its declining popular support and
legitimacy, or craft a fresh, broadly supported settlement. The
present is an unsettled conjuncture: the old order is passing while
Harapan's experimental regime has been subverted. Yet Malay
politics is unable to reform or tackle current issues
authoritatively. Instead Malay politics has turned inwards and
precipitated a disorder of the political system.
