Prominent scholars across the political divide and academic
disciplines analyse how the dominant political parties in Malaysia
and Singapore, United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and the
People's Action Party (PAP), have stayed in power. With a focus on
developments in the last decade and the tenures of Prime Ministers
Najib Tun Razak and Lee Hsien Loong, the authors offer a range of
explanations for how these regimes have remained politically
resilient.
Sabah's 2020 election was Malaysia's pandemic election. While
attention has centred on the impact the election had on the
increase of COVID-19, this collection brings together scholars,
journalists and social scientists who were on the ground on Sabah
to analyse what happened, why, and the broader implications of the
outcome for Sabah and Malaysian politics. The book is the first
in-depth study of a Sabah election. It is multidisciplinary, with
authors from different perspectives, and the majority of the
authors are from Sabah. Traditional explanations prioritize the
federal-state relationship in shaping Sabah politics. This
collection challenges this paradigm, suggesting that politics in
Sabah should be better understood as a reflection of conditions
within Sabah-as Sabahans struggle to navigate and survive on
Malaysia's periphery.

Singapore underwent substantial changes during the 14-year tenure
of the country's second Prime Minister, Goh Chok Tong (1990-2004).
Coming after many years of growth and stability, the period brought
to office a new generation of political leaders whose task was to
sustain and build upon the policies of their predecessors. It was a
challenging period, punctuated by the Asian financial crisis of
1998 and the SARS epidemic in 2003. The 45 essays collected in this
volume review a range of issues from domestic politics and foreign
policy to economic development, society, culture, the arts and
media, and assess the legacy of Goh Chok Tong's premiership.
