Why Is Malaysia's Ruling Party UMNO So Powerful? (1994)

Incorporated (1994): A report on the influence of Malaysia's ruling party UMNO in all aspects of Malaysian society.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: kzbin.info_c...
Synopsis: Malaysia's government is unashamedly mixing business with politics. It is a combination which seems a recipe for success. For 37 years massive economic growth has proved a persuasive combination for voters and the ruling Malaysian coalition party UMNO. 'Malaysia Incorporated', as politicians proudly call the country, encourages close business ties with the government, leading to UMNO control in almost all aspects of the Malaysian economy, from the media to construction. The only losers are those outside the ruling party. Everything is geared to benefit ethnic Malays and party members; to get a government contract, or even a university scholarship, having party membership is a must. Strict rules are enforced to keep the order; political rallies are illegal, and speaking out about the government's discrimination against Indian and Chinese minorities can lead to a spell in jail. ABC Australia speaks to ministers, experts, and Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, to uncover the scope of influence that UMNO wields.

Mahathir is so charismatic and charming that intelligent and his trademark sacastic smile 😂 that makes any interviewer in the world look and sound stupid

[@Sejara1528]

If UMNO wants to lead the country again with full support, they need to: - Kick out the criminals from the party - Start to appoint more talented MCA and MIC MPs into the cabinet. - Reduce our national debt

[@baconpancakes8899]

Who do you suggest be kicked and how do you suggest we reduce the National debt?

[@Sejara1528]

@@baconpancakes8899 Old members like Zahid, Tok Mat, and Pak Mail. PH already a few steps ahead with how many youth involve in their party. Also, government currently are on their right track to reduce the national debt. I just hope that no corrupt officials spoil the progress.

It seems like everyone is missing the point here, yes the video was dated way back in 1994, but ALL the facts brought up in the video still hold true to this very day. Why condemn the age when we've yet to learn from the past?

[@SyahrulSalim85]

Yes, UMNO have brought Malaysia to where we are today. Maybe the best and fastest method at that time was Malaysia Inc. However, it doesnt work anymore. Malaysia is stagnant. We need new strategy to grow.

Malaysia - Always so close to high-income, developed status but never was able to become one.

yeah but not never able bro... maybe another decade or 5 years. According to world banks...HDI index is still low at 0.8 as high income, very high income is at least 0.85-0.9 HDI index.

[@chboy80]

Wow, how things have changed dramatically 24 years later, in 2018! UMNO was good for Malaysia from its independence until around 2009 when Najib Razak became PM. It was downhill for UMNO from there.

In Malaysia, a successful Bumi is a politician while a successful non-Bumi is a CEO of a fully-private company. Malays were subconsciously brought up to believe that it's not technical skills that bring success, but social skills, because all these powerful Malay politicians are barely good at anything else except politicking.

@Ammar Mohammed Ridzuan DSWA jdk presiden parti undur diri bg kt suami plk jdk presiden, anak jdk naib presiden, lps tu jdk plk timb pm. DSAI mengamalkn nepotisme dan kronisme juga masih gagal jdk pm. So bkn isu nepotisme atau kronisme yg buat DSAI gagal jdk pm. Sebaik dpt pengampunan, satu malaya DSAI pusing salam cium tangan para sultan yg mana tidak dilakukan oleh muhyidin mahupun ismail sabri. Jadi faktor arisktokrat bukanlah alasan knp DSAI xjdk pm. Bukankah cartel ni semua sebahagian dari pembangkang? Dan pergolakan dlm PH yg masih belum reda. So dari dua hal ini kita dpt pastikan kegagalan DSAI jdk pm adlh disebabkan keGAGALan DSAI sbg pemimpin pembangkang dlm menyatukan kumpulan pembangkang. Sesuatu yg gagal dilakukan oleh DSAI tetapi berjaya dilakukan oleh Tun. Menumbangkn BN walaupun jauh lebih tua, bukan orator yg hebat, x ada tagline bombastic. Acting PM 1997 itu pun sbb cobaan utk DSAI jdk pm yg mana DSAI spt biasa GAGAL.

[@muhammadalfatih7138]

E. Dead serious bro

[@didyara]

Muhammad Alfatih I’m not sure where you’ve been getting your information from but I’m assuming that either you’re not a Malaysian or a PPBM supporter because to say that Mahathir devoted his life for the people is a deluded statement to be honest. Mahathir is nothing but the epitome of corruption and greed itself. This man has single-handedly plagued the nation when he was the leader of UMNO for a mind numbing 22 years. Under his regime, he was an authoritarian who silenced and imprisoned his opponents who are ironically working under him now. He terminated a lot of people even Malaysia’s founding father Tunku Abdul Rahman just for him to get into power. Under his rule, Mahathir promoted plutocracy, racial politics, crony capitalism and tyrannical leadership. Mahathir has endorsed and trained corrupted politicians such as the infamously acclaimed kleptocrat Najib Razak as his own protégé back when he was president of UMNO. Didn’t you know that Najib was his Youth Chief back when Mahathir was the President of UMNO ? To make matters worse, this senile old man was re-elected as the current PM making him the oldest head of state in the world. As of now, PH has done shit all for this country. Our economy is heading for a recession, unemployment continues to soar, political conflict is on the rise and this is all happening again under Tun Dr Mahathir. So tell me, how is this doing any good for the rakyat ?
