thank you for having me. so of this. absolutely right. it is the 1st time for malaysia to experience a home parliament after an election are not necessarily a home parliament ever. but what are the next steps from here on? it's very clear um, any leader of the parliament who is able to convince the angle or the king that he is able to form a government will be invited to form a government that has already been done in the last few hours. and the palace has also issued a statement as of today, calling for parties with a large number of seats to provide the names of the coalitions that will be formed, that they would like to form, as well as their prime ministerial candidate by 2 p. m to morrow, following which the algo would therefore defied on who has this coalition possibility of forming the government after that, it's basically office does go how, what does this mean formulators democracy essentially, you know, we saw the largest turn out of voters ever in malaysia. electro history with the 5800000 new voters. it was actually quite difficult to expect what the turnout would be. but it has, looks like, you know, people that come out in droves despite the rain in certain parts of the country. so . so there were some surprises in this election, but ultimately, if this can be resolved over the next 24 hours, what we would have is the form of political stability as much economic stability that the country really has needed over the last 4 years. so far i saw you reacting to some of what tricia was saying there, so i wanted to see if you wanted to jump in and also i want to ask you, i mean, what kind of timeline do you think we're going to see going forward when it comes to forming a coalition. well, the discussion are ongoing since last night. tide has been pretty intense for every observer and even more for the politicians who are in the game right now. and we know that a few has been have been sidelined from the game. we had a few surprise and it's, it's that what made me smile a when to show as we're speaking, we did not expect, you know, this is actually the so, well we could call it a wave, you know, wave of support for the families party that gain you know, an incredible number of seats compared to 2018. and i think that the show that you know, the, the malaysian use. well 1st time voters, actually we had for some voters as well to war or older. you know, so as i've been voting in mass for, for these time it's friday, which is, which is a very interesting phenomenon. i mean, from outside of militia that, of, of the river assume that, you know, this younger electric would definitely be a more liberal one. so it's, it's very interesting to see that, you know, the voices, their opinion in a very different direction compared to what was expected by some people. let me ask you to elaborate a little bit on what sophie was talking about these games that were made by the islamic party in malaysia. does this mean that malaysians are increasingly voting along religious lines? well, malaysians have been voting along, religious and racial lines. since our modern timely memorial, right. and i think over the last few years you have seen, for example, none malays, mom lo team for the reform use the side of the original spectrum. while a large portion, all conservative malay voters would prefer at that time or no, and by less extend, this islam is past party. now we're essentially seeing a reverse, all preference solve this conservative malay voters, namely the 1st choice is passed party and perhaps a 2nd. not the choice would be the more racial least or no party. well, moving forward, i think as this past party gains more friends throughout an insulin, malaysia, we are likely to see more seats falling to their hands in for future actions as well. already we are seeing, for example, yet another state, a state of police in extreme, not a malaysia. now falling into the hands of this, that is let me pass party. and they are also making the head ways to the west of and in solar, malaysia, trisha from your perspective were the results in any way a surprise. and so i think just before the election, there were a lot of different pulling company if that came out with their expected outcomes. for me, there were 2 things that were not surprising. first we knew that our lease, i expected that there would not be any single coalition able to pass the simple majority required to form a government that much has happened. so how parliament was very much expected. so there was no surprise on the 2nd thing was what we're seeing now, which is the active negotiation taking place where a coalition government, basically a coalition off coalitions is in the works where because no one collision can form government the negotiations have had to take place of seeking out collisions from other parts of the dra graphical regions of malaysia essentially, and ease malaysia are bias robots. so the 2nd thing that also no surprise, i think, as has already been stated in this interview so far, pasta is bombing party, the performance of pass. that was probably the most major surprise. i expected them to do very well in the smaller rural states. off the north and the east coast of peninsula malaysia, which they have done well in. but i think to sweep the lion's share off the seats. so now they are the single largest party in parliament. after $222.00 thieves. they have, you know, 4449, i think different according to the calculations, but basically they are the lion's share holder of seats. what does this mean? essentially the, i here to stay. i think there are very different reasons why the malay electric chose to go with this coalition. and we don't know enough information at this point, but i can just, you know, suffice to say that number one, they were unhappy with the ruling berries on national coalition or the, i'm no coalition. the less racialized one that isa pointed out. and it wasn't alternative for them, and i think this trend is something that in other muslim countries around the world, right? so if you don't want to go with the current version of a party, the other alternative would be the slamming version. and that's what we seen. so that's one that's clear. the 2nd thing, of course, is the rise of this conservatism. and i don't know that we have enough information that indicate to us i chose that part because of that reason. i think that is what the speculation is at the moment. it's very easy to make those generalizations, but i think, yeah, we can like what the detail reasons were for people being motivated to vote along that you son trisha, was talking there about having to essentially form a coalition of coalitions. and she was talking about the fact that the key to the formation of any government is going to be states like, and sarah walk. and i want to ask you a little bit about that. i mean, either states sort of long sought to have greater influence at the federal level, correct? yeah, i happened to be from the state of about myself, or indeed you would see that the politicians abuse that use malaysian states. they would often make up the case of form or call me from law delusional powers. to do this malaysian state, to the extent that they would like more share saw for example, the countries revenues for the development and so on. while i think there is a need for more developments in least develop states, all malaysia. on the other hand, i think when it comes to political calculations such has the, the political parties of coalition or c from this is malisha that states will join which particular major west malaysian coalition. i think a calculation, it's very marcher, made more on, for example, the vested interest of the politicians in ra, much more than, for example, to improve the likelihood of the people that you sophie, obviously, you know, all kinds of horse trading and negotiations have already started in malaysia, i guess what i'm curious about is does the result of the selection mean that parties that were usually considered junior parties or not so important parties? are they now becoming the king makers? well, it independent who were calling junior aid per se to he's a really young party and, and you know, we, they're taking a leadership role in this negotiation because they are deleting forcing piano even if they don't have the highest number of seat. then we're looking at moodle, which is one of the very young party and they are definitely not, not a very strong force. big one is one of the youngest 5 years. well, it was just wiped out so, so we have new coalition as for sure, we have a very different kind of we had a shift out of shift and, and of fragmentation of the political scene. and we know we've seen but, but there is kind of a we recycling of you know, the role of the gay men and the actors and any sweat, it's very interesting. we have, we're a change of power dynamic are vis, vis selection. really sure. the strong rejection of, i'm know, at least of a fair in one of the a faction you now know it, it shows as well that you know, caroline has not been doing really well during this election. if ph has a very high number of seed, we should remember these thanks to the appears. well, so, so we have, i think the end of, of a narrow my especially for i'm know for mohammed my high tier as well. and for a few very be leaders. so. so we daffy turning a peach. there is, there is a new dynamic. so on that we need to analyze our father once we're going to have more detail on the results. i'm sorry to interrupt you, but, but i am curious to follow up with you about the point you were making about some of the sharks and, and you did mention a former prime minister marty mohammed, the fact that he lost his parliamentary seat. he's 97 years old. he's one of asians most enduring politicians. this was his 1st electoral defeat in more than half a century. how shocking was that? very shocking. as so i had the opportunity to follow my heart. you're doing is 2018 campaign or for my book, and i did our was in long how we until the last hurrah mine hours last night in his office as well for the results. ah, so it is. it is shocking. it is striking for his team. is struggling for him. ah, so a lot of people didn't i expect that he would be doing so poorly. ah, we could see that there were, there was a change of, of wave in long cow we definitely, a lot of young people are. even if they still do have, you know, a lot of respect for it's kind of varies from father figure are the age was, was a very strong factor. as enduring covina as well, is parliamentary office in on car. we did not do so well in supporting our people, evelyn coey, so that, that really played a lot in a vis results or so again, at the end of an era it's, i mean now is, is not in the scene anymore. my, my trauma is no longer there, a lot of people are calling for is i hate to resign. this might be as well. one of the, maybe the last, you know, last time that i no worries is running for a p. m position. so, so we are seeing that can you generate generation coming up and it's, it is actually very interesting. tricia, i saw you nodding along to some wood. so if you were saying so it looks like you wanted to jump in. so please go ahead. oh, well i know, i think i ideas issued a statement today and be pretty much said the same things that there is a new generation of fresh basis. if the parties especially, i'm know, we're in need of transformation and before the election, the results of this election just show how much more internal transformation is needed, not just for i'm not across the board. so there is a greater demand. i mean, the fact that we have so many new waters, the kinds of messages and the narrative that need to get out to reach the young voters. i mean, the reality is that politics and militia to day are still very much politics of malaysia say 10 years ago, 20 years ago. you've been on the kinds of leader as a potential leaders, as potential prime minister. our positions are the same names that have been in circulation for a very long time. so, so you know that there will be increasing demand for this sense of renewal. i think it's going to happen for, i'm no, any particular. i mean, if we talk about that for a little bit, not to law, not so long ago, they were the dominant party at the 20182018 that was the poorest showing. and then this time in 2022. it is again, the poorest going in history based on national as a whole, you know, with only 30 seats really quite dis small, are not yet decimated, you know, sufficient to be able to negotiate and form a block in government that's in play at the moment. both, you know, the pretty got a national and a packet on her edition that got the largest number of seats as coalitions are, are actively trying to get ice on national on their site because 30 seats can really sway them 11 way or the other. so we will know by tomorrow, but i think the point here is that with new faces in the game and also farming up the way in which politics is done in the country. i think that's a lot to think about. and i do hope that this is an opportunity for more whichever gl government. it's the power to rethink the entire rules of the game. to think about ways to incentivize young people to come in professionals and have no real farms that are so crucial to strengthen our parliament. for example, there's so much to be done. and i do hope that this opportunity is just not lost by the farming government you some, if unwanted by him, is able to get the support that he needs to become prime minister. now, how remarkable a political comeback would that be? well, annoy abraham has been trained to be the prime minister for quite a number of years, i think, according to my car, at least 30 years. s not being very successful in doing so. but of course, in the process years ex spouse, a lot of these ideas and policies for reforming the country and so on. most of them are very positive and i think a lot of voters, of course, those who voted for him and use coalition. they're looking forward to these policies be now finally implemented. but as things are getting under way for forming coalitions, it would appear that there is a coalition led by bursa to and, and this is some is passed body. they look that perhaps to that next government and such a coalition would almost inevitably be dominated by islam is passed body because they have the most number of seats in parliament, even though nominally was still be the prime minister. well, for 2nd term, and we'll look at again, examples for many other such countries. immediately turkey would come to mind such a dominant by party. typically the country would sort of be generate into easily broad democracy if a democracy at all. so for a couple of minutes, let me just ask you, what were the main issues that voters were concerned about in this election? and also the fact that voter turnout was so high and that there were so many young voters in particular. what does that say to you about the state of democracy in malaysia? why a cinder is a very strong anxiety and are among the asians are, as it is on around the world, you know, to pasco, ve, recovery context. economy was definitely, you know, what plays a very big role in this campaign out what it, what it means for democracy. well, you know, i mean we, we had a very high turn out and we have the result of what democracy is. so there is this new wave of opinion being expressed that there is this as well, new demands as tricia explained really well. and so we, we have a landscape that is fully changing. we have new demands, higher expectations. the results for sure my be surprising, but you know, we might as well see maybe in his famous party was gonna normalize itself being always new responsibility in these coalition. so i think there is a lot a lot to be seen and, and we'll see what it means for democracy wants the government is, is being formed. i would wish that, you know, ph could accept or be invited to form a government. and then we would have something very stable, but i'm not sure that this is going to work. egos are underway in the way. and so we just very quickly, we have less than a minute a do you think that there's a chance that malaysia's political landscape becomes less fractured now? no i think it's it's going to be it's gonna take a while and this reconfiguration is, it is really gonna take time and it's i seen a lot of people are a little bit hammered by the result, including the politicians are and you know, the discussion are going very strong and we might see, you know, some new coalitions and new friends she being created. we have a few independent speak independent as well, who could actually join some of the coalition despite the load that it was put in place. you can still, you know, like independent candidate can, it can be friendly to certain coalition or to be 1st that and power dynamics so. so we might have a few more, you know, change n, n and movement in the next few weeks. so, you know, we need to keep an eye on, on that. all right, well, we have run out of time, so we're gonna have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much for all of our guests. so feel amir o e son and trisha jo. and thank you to for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, al jazeera dot com, and for further discussion, go to our facebook page at facebook dot com, forward slash ha, inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter or handle this at ha inside story from him or how much of jerome and the whole team here for now. and ah, opened in time for the world cup. this new part of ham and international airport has been designed to offer often tired and stressed out passengers a different travel experience. surrounding the tropical garden of 65 new shops and restaurants and passages capacity has increased by nearly 50 percent. this bill of dough hot water front will be given a new role by replacing the power with this temporary gallery, gives a peek into the design of the new museum in the brand new city. a blue sail cutter is national libraries hoping for more visitors during the world cup when they come here realize how we came up with an outage. there are more than a 1000000 books here during the final therapy. special events related to the world cup. the world cap is about more than sports. it's reflecting and transforming the culture of an entire country. indonesia your investment destination, the world's 10th largest economy, is busy transforming, ready to beat your business. partner with a robust talent for politically and economically stable and strong policies being the powerhouse indonesia is confirmed by the g. 20 presidency. bringing opportunities for you in vest indonesia now as a journalist of arab origin, he woke up and got on me a lot to me. it's an opportunity to show the world what middle eastern culture and hospitality is all about. here at alpha, mom i, the stadium is shaped like the traditional mail head here. i'll get to you seeing my ab heritage showcase like this brings my culture into a modern world in a futuristic way. i'm excited to have the walk up on our doorstep. nothing will compared to covering the event in a place. i hope we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the wow. so no matter what lucy, with the news and kind of for that matter to you, move. ah, the beautiful game began.
