WHAT IS HYBRID REGIME?????

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Democracy_Index&oldid=458436966"

1981 2003 : Tun Mahathir held the post 2003 2009 : Pak Lah took Tuns place Focus on Malaysia ; resilience has been flunctuated Under Pak Lahs tenure, Malaysias hybrid regime have been re-equilibrated

many governments wish to extend their tenures in hybrid regime type Under institution that are effectively manipulated: -election records, yet disperse voter grievances Regimes resilience depends which elites are unified or divided

Malaysias political regime: quasi democracy, an illiberal democracy, semi or pseudo democracy, and as neither authoritarian nor democratic Displayed as resilience with National Front Government, centring on UMNO (win 8 consecutive general elections)

To explain resilience: a. UMNO-led gvt tightly controlled media outlet b. Gvt seriously hindered opposition parties, NGOs and organized labors c. Detaining protesters w/o trial for long periods d. Narrowed judicial independence through wash out

During electoral front, gvt skewed constituencies (gross malapportionment, intricate gerrymandering) Perpetuated quiescence among mass Malay, quotas on uni placements,recruited foreign investors Imprison Anwar-PAS won half the Malay popular vote

Tuns retirement suddenly lead to reduction of mass criticism over his leadership and related pressures on the regime
Mid 2002 Tun declared he would retire Oct 2003 Pak Lah become PM

Pak Lah judged as timorous and very cautious Come out with Civilizational Islam, devout in content,unmilitant in practice

To re-equilibrate, Pak Lah had actively to deploy his leadership qualities in pursuit of 3 aims: a. Recalibrate substantive distribution among elites, mass publics and foreign investors b. Reordering relation c. Through institutional adjustments

Restrain all the corrupt practices of political elites Has re-energized mass Malay followings: during general election 2004, they won greatest victory ever PAS stunned!! After won GE, must face UMNO assembly election

April 2004: 2days ethics seminar 31 May: deadline!! But.. Also want to restore integrity What he did ?

To redouble the resilience, institution also need to be adjusted Courts able to reclaim some of the independence

Federal Court High Court Shah Alam

Tun manipulated institution boldly = unable to contain imbalances Pak Lah readjusted institution mildly, restoring some of judiciarys independence = regimes having re-equilibrated Cant be perpetuated for long time, may fade
