摘要
政治两极化的有害影响和未解决的联盟内部分歧导致政党叛变,这导致了希望联盟(PH)政府的垮台,以及取代它的Perikatan Nasional (PN)政府的脆弱地位。在2020年的大部分时间里,国内政治都以希盟和爱国阵线联盟之间以及爱国阵线联盟伙伴Bersatu和巫统之间的权力斗争为标志。随着新型冠状病毒感染症(COVID-19病毒)带来的社会经济痛苦的长期化,国民和当选政治家之间的信任赤字也在扩大。2020年的事件转折标志着马来西亚为改善其民主而采取的试探性步骤突然停止。
Malaysia 2020: Democratic backsliding amid the COVID-19 pandemic
The pernicious effects of political polarisation and unresolved intra-coalition differences resulted in political party defections that contributed to the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government and the tenuous position of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government that replaced it. Domestic politics through much of 2020 was marked by the subsequent power struggles both between the PH and PN coalitions and between PN coalition partners, Bersatu and UMNO. As the socio-economic pains of the COVID-19 pandemic prolonged, the trust deficit between the people and elected politicians widened. The turn of events in 2020 signalled an abrupt halt to the tentative steps Malaysia had been making to improve its democracy.
