Abstract

ABSTRACT The ‘green wave theory’ has haunted the explanation of the rise of the Malay-Muslim coalition – the National Alliance (Perikatan Nasional, PN) – in the 15th Malaysian general election held in November 2022. PN mainly consists of two political parties, the Pan-Malaysia Islamic Party (PAS) and the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (Bersatu), a splinter of the former dominant party – the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). Although PN was not able to form a national government after the election, it has more than doubled the number of seats won by PAS and Bersatu in the last election in 2018. Expressing caution over the general belief that the ‘green wave’ reflected entirely the Malays’ positive support to PN, this article offers another side of the story: PN’s gain was UMNO’s further decline due to factionalism and elite break-up, manifested in disengagement, sabotage and party switching among its estranged leaders.

巫统在GE15:派系斗争及其影响
摘要在2022年11月举行的第15届马来西亚大选中,“绿色浪潮理论”一直困扰着马来穆斯林联盟——民族联盟(Perikatan Nasional,PN)的崛起。PN主要由两个政党组成,泛马来西亚伊斯兰党(PAS)和马来西亚统一土著党(Bersatu),后者是前主导党马来民族联合组织(UMNO)的一个分支。尽管PN在选举后未能组建国家政府,但它已经使PAS和Bersatu在2018年上次选举中赢得的席位增加了一倍多。这篇文章对人们普遍认为“绿色浪潮”完全反映了马来人对PN的积极支持表示谨慎,并提供了故事的另一面:PN的收获是巫统由于派系斗争和精英分裂而进一步衰落,表现在其疏远的领导人之间的脱离接触、破坏和政党更迭。

The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest.
