Abstract

ABSTRACT The 15th Malaysian General Elections (GE15), the first since the Covid pandemic lockdown, were supposed to bring back political stability, after three different prime ministers since 2018. The results were inconclusive with no single coalition winning the bare minimum to form a government. The King then asked Anwar Ibrahim to form a new government. The biggest surprise was the rise of Parti Islam Malaysia (PAS), which became the single largest party in Parliament. Another surprise was UMNO supporting Anwar to be prime minister. The role played by the King and the Malay rulers raised questions about the state of constitutional monarchy in Malaysia. PAS’s victory will have a profound impact on Malaysia’s reputation as a moderate Islamic country and will accelerate the trend towards Islamic identity politics.

安瓦尔漫长的执政之路：2022年马来西亚大选

摘要第15届马来西亚大选（GE15）是自新冠肺炎疫情封锁以来的首次大选，自2018年以来，在三位不同的总理之后，本应恢复政治稳定。结果没有定论，没有一个联盟赢得组建政府的最低票数。国王随后要求安瓦尔·易卜拉欣组建一个新政府。最大的意外是马来西亚伊斯兰党（PAS）的崛起，该党成为议会中最大的单一政党。另一个惊喜是巫统支持安瓦尔出任首相。国王和马来统治者所扮演的角色引发了人们对马来西亚君主立宪制的质疑。PAS的胜利将对马来西亚作为温和伊斯兰国家的声誉产生深远影响，并将加速伊斯兰身份政治的趋势。
