Challenges of Democratic Transition

Beginning with Tun Dr Mahathir’s statement to reform political party financing and GLCs, the author of 'Minister of Finance Incorporated: Ownership and Control of Corporate Malaysia' published last August, takes us through the many challenges the country faces in this transition from authoritarian to democratic rule. Starting with an analysis of GE14 - including the alleged secret pact between UMNO and PAS - we look at the shape of things to come.
