drama at the world cup. iran harvest slade, the welsh dragon's willing to yell at off. my been, i stated, iranians were sadly beaten in the only game against england for this victory sets up a crucial match, the usa in their final group. gay is, are the headlines. news continues herein al jazeera. that's after inside story. ah. after decades in opposition unwavering him has become malaysia's new prime minister, but he's the 4th leader in 4 years and faces a strong conservative opposition. so well on what abraham and bring political stability to malaysia. this is inside story.

ah, i haven't seen a welcome to the program veteran malaysian politician on why, but he has been sworn in as prime minister. it follows negotiations after last saturday's election in which no alliance secured a clear majority in his long quest for the top job, the 75 year. busy lead street protests for democratic reforms, a strong together, a multi ethnic coalition, while in prison on charge is widely seen as politically motivated on raw, has pledged to fight corruption and focus on the economy. promising to give up his salary as prime minister will get to our guests in a moment. first, this report from florence louis in kuala lumpur from

a parent to opposition leader. and why brian's long career in politics has culminated in him being sworn in as prime minister of malaysia. my so yeah, and normally the blame i on all the brain do solemnly swear to perform our duty as prime minister, sincerely answered the best of my ability along the way. he was twice imprisoned for sodomy, charges, widely seen as politically motivated. his 1st imprisonment sparked street protests and led to the birth of a reform movement. upon his release, he united the opposition parties and turned the coalition into a formidable political opponent. he was jailed a 2nd time 2 years after he let the opposition to the biggest electoral games in 2013 on was alliance of hope, one, the largest number of seats in saturday's elections, but fell short of a majority. his biggest rival is meeting jesse, who leads the 2nd largest block,

made up of a right wing malay centric party. and a religiously conservative party days of negotiations failed to produce a coalition with majority support. the political impasse was only broken when the king also than abdullah appointed unwise after speaking to several and peace. this all over all condition. wonderful. local militia o support to say they welcome honours appointment. the multi ethnic coalition is seen as more reform minded and liberal. i'm happy, we've waited too long for this, and it's time for us to receive someone who can give a better commitment to malaysia. analysts say there will be no honeymoon period for the new government. he has to put in place

a cabinet that conveys credibility and competence. the same fact he has to probably face the child is very soon in order to prove that he has majority support, embodiment. also, anyone in his rival, lead in yassin, has challenged onward to prove his level of support when he didn't, has also refused the king's proposal. the 2 sides set up a unity government annoyed by him face as challenging weeks and months ahead. he'll have to introduce reforms to fix the economy. he'll also be leading a country where the racial and religious divides appear to have deepened. florence louis al jazeera, quite alone, poor. ah, a less bringing, i guess. now to talk more about this in kuala lumpur, we have me for zeal. a member of the malaysian parliament and chief of information for prime minister on way behaves people's justice party. joining us from tokyo,

james chai, a visiting fellow at the i. c. s. use of is track institute and in singapore we have meredith weiss, a professor political science at the university of new york and opening good to have you all with us. so from if a deal, if i could start with you, is this a coalition that can work? i mean he's, he's got some tough challenges ahead. has in the way, but him it's quite strange bit a little, you know, i mean, strange strange menagerie if you would like to call it that we were just a few days ago fighting against each other and now we are in the same government together. i think the circumstances are such english, you know, when the king decrees that you, former unity government, most political parties, a baltic leaders will, will have to follow. i think the only exception is when he didn't party, which has decided to remain in opposition. so all right,

now we're all listening to the key, meredith, why will he be able to unite the seemingly divided nation? i think so, if nothing else, i think that this is the more stable outcome than if this were indeed a unity government inclusive market in particular time. and so i agree with that. this is an unusual menagerie of parties, but at the same time it includes all of the major groups within malaysia to an extent that wouldn't be possible, but really any other combination of parties. so hopefully this will indeed be uniting as opposed to more devices. james char, i was, you will take, honestly, we will, i'm way behind, be able to navigate this strong strain of, of malay nationalism and as well as a returned to the religious. right? yeah, i think this election was that there is a rise in terms of conservatism across the country,

especially across the west. malaysia is some experience instruct. he's going to fall by the birch pot. and what that necessary is that the rest of the country looks very poor, the right and contradictory of what the future to be and death will have been a correlation either consist of different or listed the accompaniment 3 to one that serving is respective functions seems to be the best, the best recipe to represent race, religion, and region, which is precisely what came up for this government to be just taking a step back for a moment. family friends, zeal. this is we've had 3 malaysian prime ministers in the space of 4 years. why, why do you think that is, i mean what, what's, what's behind the recent history of political instability, do you think? yeah, i think a lot of it happen because it began into the eating with the end of the hedge of

money off. but it's not, not, not the national from that have been in power for 6 decades. melissa had never been in a situation where by this i so now, last led by mr. g, because up now is languishing in prison. we've never see any other political party take charge. and as a result, there became a contestation of what was ostensibly to be representatives of the malays, the so called majority ethnic group in malaysia. and that was not sufficiently resolved, because i'm know, which is the main component body was still dominant. yet dr. mojave, it was leading a couple of with his party. but to at that time with the teams was diminutive, was very small. and as a result, a series of treachery and cities are partly helping began. and then we saw teachers

of government every 12 months. and it ultimately led to a very untimely demise of the smile summary administration. and now this is where we are essentially we have the all or the collapsing and a new order trying to build itself. so we're in between kind of like in between period, meredith, why, what does on why abraham himself bring to this? i mean, this is, this is the job that he's been trying for for much of the last 30 years now. and he's finally there 75 years old. what, what can he do now? well, i think of nothing else. he brings a desperate desire to be prime minister, which in this circumstance could actually be quite the glue that coalition need. and as much of he will do what it takes to make this class. but i do think that's what that what is especially warranted at this point is that we take on something of a statesman like role, which is, i think, actually quite a good fit for him. leave perhaps some of the issues of policy making of ironing

out differences to others within his party and his component parties within the coalition. and instead for himself really tried to be a peacemaker to represent both a malay and a slam as side that he historically came to power in his early days with, with that as a backdrop. but also the same multi ethnic fairly progressive. not so conservative bands that his coalition has really happy and starting back in the late 1990 s and the pharmacy period, which is when he had left on no, not, not voluntarily. and then really started to champion this new surfacing alternative that has now developed into the contemporary a pocket handheld upon the the lines of hope it's imagined. james child, i mean married is touched on the fact that he has this kind of multiethnic

coalition. but the opposition that he faces is, is quite strong as well. and it's rooted in this malay nationalism and conservative conservatism. how, how hard is it going to be to navigate that as he pursues these policies? so what i know a brain has do, and i think this is something very rich, is the best way of actually acting against the right of meliss naturally. but let me, i mentioned before is to get the friends who are in favor of a conservative future. and the intersection between that conservatism and poverty is accurate causes libby and therefore committed its birth agenda actually addressed the cost of living a including asking minister to what or sorry, i think it was,

it was over time to set up specially things back to the soul that issue because he knows that if you can address it and improve the life of people, what was the concern this site, you could actually draw them to the wall. the 2nd thing that you would do is that you would adjust the language they use and did something that is quite natural. what, what you're bringing to do, which is the things that you could not appear to be to get into the point of threatening the position of william with them in the country. so drawing debt one balance in the center is what i know you, but you can find me 50. if we take this beyond the, did the domestic politics and all the various ethnic and religious issues. what is the state? what is essentially a state for malaysians right now? what, what are the biggest challenges the country faces socially as we can nomic, and some of the most difficult times have come to, you know,

we were entering and the big fees of course. 19, lot of people have lost jobs. it's stuff on the grow. and i think a lot of people are hoping that this administration does not think of itself as bring your honeymoon period. it's. it's really getting right into the kitchen. then really cooking up some solutions for people. so you know, messing up the 1st 30 days will mean something really significant for religions because the price of goods are going up. ordinary food products like chilly chicken eggs, you know, it is, seems to be hard to come by and they're really expensive. so i think at the end of the day it's about, you know, making sure that there's food on the table for ordering lesions. so mr. antoine really has a lot of work ahead, and it's only been a day since he was wanting. it will take a few more days before he sets together the team. for his cabinet, we expect

a probably sometime mid next week. a new covenant will be formed if not entirely, perhaps perhaps half of the team, but he has given an indication that his, his primary focus and his big priority will be people's welfare and cost of living . yeah, you mentioned inflation, nerin and inflation is indeed a global problem right now. but those problems are acute in malaysia. morale, meredith weiss, as, as family mentioned there, there's really no honeymoon period is there for this government. what are they going to have to do to, to tackle the economic problems? yeah, i agree with everything from these. i said, so even if we look at the most recent administration that you asked earlier about the level of turmoil of the past several years. a lot of that obviously was personality challenges was the fracture bring up the coalition for all sorts of reasons related more to party politics than external factors. but it was also

a really difficult time to be governing because of coverage because of the economic challenges because of all of that. and so it's not all that surprising that more hidden governments in particular, which came in really, as the pandemic started to pick up, then collapsed quite ignominy asleep fairly quickly, after probing parliament for nearly a year. and so in this case, we have a more stable bases coming in. we have this broader coalition. we have an electoral mandate, we have a lot of hope that they can also said, but it's a very challenging time to be governing. we're on the cost, but what appears to be a global recession. inflation is an issue, but other economic concerns also were quite high and voters might. so we had among different vote segments, inflation jobs, economic development. also, anti corruption is something that relates very closely with inflation or with, with economic challenges within immolation, contact. all of these were 1st and foremost, and voters nines. and so i think i'm on

a coalition really need to come up with an economic plan to appoint people within the cabinet. and within other government bodies where trustworthy, who are capable or not. they're as little appointees, but because they have actual skill and ideas and commitment. really incredibly to adjust the economic challenges head on. what does all of this mean for malaysia's place in the well james, char, i mean, it was, it was mentioned how i'm a hebrew. he was very much globalist. what implications does this have for malaysia dealings with its neighbors and beyond that? yes, so generally on what you on you spoke to days will reflect that personality and soto. his leaderships thought that we can use that yet. go with us. government, that was a very open global mention. so what that means is that we need very close to him like indonesia, as well as the rest of the se agent partners. there will be virus by lack per month

that he would suit his also commitment. ah, are creating a strong region, and that's the 3rd that there will be more free flow in terms of treat as a culture between nations. and that would be what was written countries, i think performance today, advantage of indonesia point what that was, the extent to automate is that when you have a strong of the h d, china, you as tension. and also what annoyed brain at that was that he was actively puts to both china and us and economic need benefit from both parties, which is what is needed in aging. i'm not picking one right, but practicing at his new active partnership with both parties,

a warm and teaming neutrality. so i think that would make each very attractive region not only academic potential, but also strong job type for me for you. what do you, what do you expect the government to do as far as promoting its place in the region and fostering good relations as james chai was saying that we were with not just china, but also the united states. i think i think mr. wise is a well healed, global traveler, i think he has many friends in many places. in fact, there yesterday, his very 1st press conference after being sworn in, i was there was quite, quite a wonderfully messy affair of because none of the prime ministers of this stuff have been booked together yet. here we are. she caught a call from the rest of the day. so also while we're doing this press conference,

he gets his call. but that shows, i think, just how the relationships that he has cultivated over the years, i think now is a good time for him to put a lot of those context. a lot of that network into action. i think we will be see probably prime minister lisa long of singapore b to call this morning and i think we are in full hopefully better days ahead where we certainly just place in the world we. i feel as, as a parliamentarian in leisure, perhaps, you know, the last 2 prime ministers, mr. we did, and then subsequently missed the spot. somebody perhaps did not take advantage off international fora, including united nations general assembly speech by the smell summary to

really reset these as position in the world. i think the unwashed will quickly cost correct on that. is that your view as well? marriage, if you expect more internationalist approach to to malaysia's foreign policy. now i do, i mean malicious foreign policy tends to be highly consistent. so i wouldn't expect any major course corrections or changes, but at the same time, the positioning visa be china visa be the us. these are the other partners you will see minor nuances. but that's nuances are important, especially in as much as malaysia is pulling itself away from and out of the many of the one m d b scandal for instance. and it's really trying to find ways to make sure that it maintains export markets and that it brings an investment. and it does all of these other things that, that allow it to regain its economic footing. given that malaysia economy is so highly externally exposed, that this is a country that is so tightly tied within global market. so any reassurance that on

mars able to give, and i agree that i think he will be able to give, that this is a country that is more stable, stable to little footing that is prepared to engage with the world that is not to be installation, just and that hopefully will also continue with some of the initiatives of recent years. for instance, towards trying to find resolution to the complex dyer as they are. and mamma, that malaysia has, as in the past, really tried to adopt something of a mediator role within asi. and so those sorts of things help to signal malaysia, stability and strength. it's ambitions, as a nation. and so i think all of those are likely to proceed hopefully and a healthy way under, on my leadership team's chart, you see that way as well as that malaysia could play more of a mediator role in the region. yeah. so, so i think that obvious,

which is quite an opportune moment as well because the rest of asia are current returning to my strong med do and, and traditionally didn't to kids. so and why and perhaps jacoby at the respects, i think it could stand as exception carrying both of the right one well of a be a boat to cite the koran at the same time being able to pursue a mob border. and i use that to progress going forward. i however, i don't necessarily think that they could only play a role. i do think that there is an active role that takes, but also pursuing the realm of self slamming extremism which happens in both malaysia and, and how they can use them as well as extend providing you to ship of knowing that

they're in reality where to be the value of the land, the allied bit more than i do is something that also could be expound internet so that that will guarantee as well as any prevention of violence, aggression. and i think this is where you believe your critique, leadership position with family fed zeal. how do you see this playing out then over the next few few months, i mean, as, as i mentioned a little bit earlier there, there is been a history of political instability in malaysia the last few years. i'm assuming that you expect that to change now with what he abraham has given the your a supporter of his why will things be different this time today knows that we have for the addition to this unity government, this essentially is

a coalition government. but with the unifying focus, and that puts us almost 2 thirds majority in parliament in terms of the numbers in terms of the n be set that support the government. and the same time he has indicated that parliament will be convened on the 19th of december. the 1st order of business will be a vote of confidence, which is rarely done for incoming prime ministers. but because there was some attempt at disparaging the numbers that on one has by mister meridian. oh, we don't want to be sorry yesterday announced that the 1st order business in parliament will be a vote of confidence. yeah. so i think this is quite unusual. wet, uncommon. and yet at the same time, i think it's quite quite brave and it will put to an end all speculation about problems of instability. i think mr. unwise is trying to kill 2 birds with one

stone. one is due to quell any form of descent within the collision, as well as showing to the world that this government is stable while it's certainly be interesting to see how this does that plan, but we are out of time now. thanks so much to review family fed james chai and marriage. it's weiss, thanks so much for being on his side story and thank he was always watching, remember using catch this program again. any time just go to a website as a dot com. and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com forward slash a j inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter handle. there is as a inside story for me as an see get and the entire team here. thanks for the me. ah.
