Does Malaysia Need to Devolve More Power to States?

More and more states in Malaysia are feeling assertive and empowered, pushing the federal government to funnel more money to the state levels.

In light of the MA63 agreement, Sabah and Sarawak's negotiations with the federal government, as well as states such as Johor and Penang's demands for more, we explore this further with Dr Lee Hwok-Aun, Senior Fellow at the Malaysian Studies Programme, at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute.
