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 v

but those problems are acute in malaysia. maria 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 is 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 fact of the coalition for all sorts of reasons related more to the party politics than external factors, but it was also a really difficult time to be governing because of cover it 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 as many as lee fairly quickly after probing parliament for nearly a year. and so in this case, we have a more stable basis coming in. we have this broader coalition. we have an

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 o

about the state of democracy in malaysia. well, i think there is a very strong anxiety in our, among that asians are, as it is on around the world, you know, to pasco, v 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, you know, opinion being expressed 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 this coalition. so i think there is a lot a lot to be seen and, and we'll see what it mean for democracy. once 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 wo

it happens in malaysia. and for the values of islam, we are aligned with those and it could be exposed internationally so that we can get peace as well as any violent regression. this is where we would take leadership positions. >> there has been a history of political instability. i'm assuming that you expect that to change. >> we have this unity government. that puts us. >> this is the 19th of december. there is disparaging numbers. i think it is quite brief. ending all speculation about problems of instability. they used it to quell any former descent. this government is stable. >> it will be interesting to see how this plays out but we are out of time. thank you to all three of you. thanks very much for being with us. and thank you as always for watching. you can catch this program any time by going to our website al jazeera.com and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. you can also join the conversation on twitter. for me, and the entire team here, thanks for now. ... dave severin: give me a

talk me through the energy component and the oil risk to malaysia.ric: malaysia is an exporter and producer of oil, but it is also a significant producer of gas. that is what drives the balance of payments going forward. because of the issues in europe, they are spilling over into asia as well. to the extent we see elevated gas prices, that remains a positive for malaysia, even if we see oil drifting a little lower. i would make that distinction. the other thing to consider is going back to china. china has taken a lot of oil demand off the table. to the extent they are coming back next year, that should help to put a floor under energy, oil demand across asia and stabilize even revenues for a place like malaysia, that is still gaining fiscal revenues from oil and gas prices. manus: let's see if we can retest the $99, $100 level in oil as we go to vienna. good to have you with us this morning. let's get the very latest on the curb no crisis -- crypto crisis. genesis is struggling to raise cash. it warns it may need to file for bankruptcy. the concern

do you think we are likely to see that in malaysia?f the early numbers show that the young people who came out to vote voted for the islamic party. some assumed that young people were more assumed in bread and butter issues like economic opportunities. not concerned with religion. >> what can this mean for foreign influence? >> basically what we have is a new prime minister who is an old prime minister. that is good for him. he will serve as a prime minister for the second time. a lot will depend on which ministers will he keep? the former finance minister lost in a recent election. you can actually be appointed a senator. but it is too early to second-guess. i am sure there will not be any major disruptions. i think over the long-term people will worry that they will control the key economic posts. >> we saw the longest ruling prime minister lose his seat. what is his legacy look like? >> unfortunately, this is consistent with the saying all political careers and interiors. if he had stayed away from the selection, historians would've

to malaysia now, where the two main contenders to lead malaysia's next government have begun consultationsuce an outright winner. the veteran opposition leader anwar ibrahim — whose coalition alliance has won the largest number of seats, according to the election commission of malaysia — and the former prime minister muhyiddin yassin both said they could form a government with the help of other parties. malaysia's king has asked them to submit lists of their coalition partners by monday afternoon. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head has more. as expected, the results of this election were inconclusive, with none of the three big coalitions contesting it winning enough seats to form a government on their own and so we've seen furious negotiations, as they have tried to cobble together a coalition in time for the 2pm deadline set by malaysia's king. the former ruling party, umno, appears to have miscalculated badly in pushing for the election to be held now rather than next year, which is when the other parties wanted it, believing it had built up enough support to be able to reg

he was prime minister of malaysia twice. he came out of political retirement and his ninety's for the last general election. he combined forces with the opposition and let them to its 1st electoral victory. now is a major surprise that not only has he lost, but he's lost in such spectacular fashion. but analysts had largely predicted that his party would not be able to win a single seat. mainly because voters are pragmatic and they didn't not fancy that his monte would have any chance in forming government and ferns. what sort implications all their from the numbers we're seeing so far? so with we have them the numbers, the official results from the election commission now put the national alliance and the main opposition, the alliance of hope, neck and neck. and this is with about 10 seats left to go out of $222.00 seats in parliament. now the logical step, i imagine, would be for the national alliance to go into partnership with the national front. these are parties that were already working together in the previous govern

malaysia's king has asked them to submit lists of their coalition partners by monday afternoon.xpected, the results of this election were inconclusive, with none of the three big coalitions contesting it winning enough seats to form a government on their own and so we've seen furious negotiations, as they have tried to cobble together a coalition in time for the 2pm deadline, set by malaysia's king. the former ruling party, umno, appears to have miscalculated badly in pushing for the election to be held now rather than next year, which is when the other parties wanted it, believing it had built up enough support to be able to regain the power that it lost at the last election. in the end, it got its worst election result ever, just 30 seats for its coalition, as the conservative rural ethnic malays that are the bedrock of its support switched their allegiance to the perikatan nasional coalition, made up of umno defectors and the hard—line conservative islamist party. and that coalition now says it's in the best position to form a government, that it has got other parties onside

and of course malaysia don't want to finance the craft is a major issue. the top ranks of one of the main contenders varies national or national front is tainted with corruption. they were voted out in the last election, but made a political come back as part of a new alliance after the previous government collapsed because of infighting and defection. the main opposition, the alliance of hope is hoping to repeat the electro victory in 2018. then the, the national alliance, a relatively new partnership. they've been accused of encouraging the defection which led to the collapse of the previous government. and i think the considerations that people would meet now would be, which is the more fitting government, rather than where do i cost my protests vote, or redway express my dissatisfaction analysts regardless as malaysia the most competitive election. it's also one of the most difficult to call. some surveys predict the opposition will take the most seats, but not enough to form government on its own. the question of who leads malaysia may still not to be

this is the 1st time in malaysia's history that there is a hung parliament. but you also have to remember that for more than 60 years, maneesha was effectively a one party state. it was ruled by barrison last year. now the national front. it ruled unbroken for more than 60 years until it was defeated in the last elections in 2018. and then the opposition was briefly in power before it was toppled by in fighting and defections. now that was partly blamed on members of the other coalition block brake of the national who defected. but it was also, i think a lot of the blame was also partly placed on the national front who was simply trying to maneuver their way back into power. but analysts say this is a sign of a mature democracy that the country is moving from away from a one party rule to multiple parties. and it's also an indication of just how strong the other coalitions is that there is now a contender for different, for voters to choose from their different parties, different coalition for voters to choose from. rather than just to main viable parties, th

mr moore, malaysia politics is going to be very fluid from now on.ce jostling, they will have to get used to coalitions that might not last long, but remake themselves as different partners. also, clearly, the conservative ethnic malay vote stays conservative, it is not going over to the reformist wing. that has split malaysia between urban, ethnic chinese reformist malays and rural malays who are conservative and very muslim, but split remains right down the middle. in essenceit right down the middle. in essence it is quite a polarised country. essence it is quite a polarised count ., ., essence it is quite a polarised count .�* ., ., ., ., essence it is quite a polarised count ., ., ., country. jonathan head, we you there. thank _ country. jonathan head, we you there. thank you _ country. jonathan head, we you there. thank you for _ country. jonathan head, we you there. thank you forjoining - there. thank you forjoining us. more now on the world cup in qatar, and those comments from the president of fifa who called western countries hypocrites for

this has been described as the most competitive elections in malaysia history. and that's because you have more than 2 strong choices, but voters choose from. and the 1st is the national front led by. i'm no party but you sort of, i suppose you can describe it as the grand old party of malaysian politics. now the national front has dominated malaysian politics for more than 60 years until it was voted out in the last election than does the opposition lead by former deputy prime minister turned opposition leader on why it brought him? the opposition has been making steady gains. it defeated the national front in the 2018 elections then the new come at the national alliance. but it's made up of old faces. it comprises the malaysian islamic party as well as birth, such as seen as a splinter group of on the cell. also making the selection difficult to predict and also highly competitive is because there are 6000000 new voters because the ultimate, because of automatic voter registration. and also because the voting age has been lowered to 18 analysts say this group

so it appears malaysia will continue to be divided along racial and religious lines. and the 3rd implication is political stability may still continue to elude malaysia, the national front and the national alliance have been working together for the last 2 years. but it is a partnership that's been beset by in fighting and there's no reason to believe that a 2nd attempt at this partnership will be any smoother. there are concerns about the future of social media platforms. twitter run reports, almost $1200.00 employees have now quit. firms know to meet him from new c, o l and musk, telling workers to sign up for long hours at high intensity, or leave with 3 months severance pay to his office. buildings around the world have been closed until next week. but mosque was summoned software engineers to the main headquarters in san francisco to she is also facing legal action over recent last layoffs. i didn't get any time with our website. the address for that is under 0 dot com. ah.

now, all these parties have had a stint in governing malaysia. so voters will also be able to choose to decide who to vote for based on each party's performance in government. now complicating matters is the fact that they're 6000000 new voters because of automatic voter registration. and because the voting age has been lowered to 18, it's not a small number 6000000 considering this is a population of around 30000000 people. analysts say this group could be the wild card that could swing these election, so they're not just the most competitive, but also being described as one of the most difficult to predict. i'm some big names. the malaysian politics have got quite a lot of stick in this openly. absolutely. now this election, some analysts have described it as really for malaysians to choose between 2 visions of the future malaysia that they want. do they want to stick with mall the same or do they want to try something new? now, if they choose to stick with more of the same, then it would mean voting for i that the national front or the nationa
