Malaysia’s Youth Party Exits Ruling Coalition Amid Corruption Concerns

Malaysia’s Youth Party Exits Ruling Coalition Amid Corruption Concerns
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) made a significant announcement on Sunday, declaring its departure from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s ruling coalition due to mounting corruption concerns. This decision comes in the wake of the dropping of graft charges against the country’s deputy premier.

MUDA, a youth-centric political entity with only one elected lawmaker, exiting the coalition won’t significantly impact the government’s stability. However, it could potentially jeopardize Anwar’s quest for a two-thirds parliamentary majority, a necessity for enacting crucial constitutional amendments and other pivotal reforms.

The move by MUDA follows last week’s controversial decision by prosecutors to dismiss numerous charges against Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who leads the scandal-plagued United Malay National Organisation (UMNO) party. Anwar relies on UMNO’s support to maintain a parliamentary majority.

Anwar has repeatedly asserted that he did not interfere in the decision to drop the charges, which sparked widespread public outcry.

MUDA contends that the dropping of the case raises serious questions and contradicts the government’s commitment to combating corruption and upholding the rule of law. In a statement on Sunday, the party expressed concern that this decision tainted the country’s legal institutions and appeared to normalize a culture of corruption.

As a consequence of its decision, MUDA has positioned itself as a third force within the opposition but intends to lend support to the government when a two-thirds majority vote is required for implementing institutional reforms.

The prime minister’s office has yet to provide a response to these developments.

Anwar assumed office following a divisive general election in November the previous year, forming a government in partnership with one-time rival UMNO to break a parliamentary deadlock.

In 2018, UMNO lost power for the first time in Malaysia’s history due to widespread anger over corruption allegations involving figures like Ahmad Zahid and former Prime Minister Najib Razak, both of whom have consistently denied any wrongdoing.

Najib is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence for his involvement in graft related to the multi-billion dollar scandal at the state fund 1MDB and faces additional bribery charges.”
