The reform movement in Malaysia

The reform movement in Malaysia

Desember 2007





The reform movement in Malaysia was launched by Anwar Ibrahim and his supporters after he was removed from his position as Deputy Prime Minister in 1998. This movement includes a massive demonstration against the National Front coalition government, which continued until Anwar was arrested and imprisoned in 1998.

Target campaign reform was the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad who is seen as a corrupt leader and has been in office too long.

As a result of the reform movement finally felt in the election of 2008, when the People's Justice Party (PKR) leader Anwar Ibrahim won 31 parliamentary seats, and together with Malaysia Islamic Party (PAS) and the Democratic Action Party (DAP) broke a two-thirds majority of the Barisan National Parliament.





Anwar Ibrahim

Gerakan reformasi di Malaysia dilancarkan oleh Anwar Ibrahim dan pendukungnya setelah ia dicopot dari jabatannya sebagai Wakil Perdana Menteri pada tahun 1998. Gerakan ini meliputi demonstrasi besar-besaran untuk menentang pemerintahan koalisi Barisan Nasional, yang berlanjut hingga Anwar ditahan lalu dipenjarakan pada tahun 1998.

Sasaran kampanye reformasi adalah Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Mahathir Mohamad yang dipandang sebagai pemimpin yang korup dan sudah terlalu lama memegang jabatannya.

Akibat dari gerakan reformasi akhirnya terasa pada pemilu tahun 2008, ketika Partai Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) pimpinan Anwar Ibrahim memenangkan 31 kursi parlemen, dan bersama-sama Partai Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) dan Partai Aksi Demokratik (DAP) mematahkan mayoritas dua pertiga Barisan Nasional di Parlemen.
