AHRC Human Rights Correspondence School (HRCS)

Lesson series 16: National Security Laws (Internal Security Act, Emergency Laws etc.,)

Through ISA governments give themselves and their agents the authority to implement acts which in normal circumstances would be illegal.

Illegal arrests, detentions and unfair trials under the Internal Security Act (ISA).

Since the enactment of the ISA in 1960, thousands of people, including trade unionists, student leders, labour activists, politicians, academicians, NGO activitsts and members of religious groups, have been arrested and detained without trial for indefinite periods. The ISA provides for “preventive” detention without charge or trial, solely on basis of the opinion of the Minister for Home Affairs that the detention is necessary in order to safeguard the security of the nation. Former detainees have reported that they have been tortured, especially in the first 60 days of solitary confinement and incommunicado detention in a police cell, when they are pressured to admit to the alleged crimes.

Q. Who has the obligation to supervise the observance of these limitations?

A. The Judiciary in the country

In particular, the higher judiciary. Thus, the need to hold the judiciary accountable.

For example, it will be useful to study what has happened in Malaysia in recent decades. At present, the ISA is used by the Malaysian government without there being any National Emergency. The ISA is being used as the “normal” law and not as law imposed during extremely abnormal situations. In this way, the liberty and civil rights of the citizens is at the mercy of the politicians or a politician.

Questions:

1. What role has the Judiciary in your country played with regard to national security laws?

2. What happens when the Judiciary does not intervene to examine the validity of government use of such laws?

3. Do you have similar cases from your own country or other countries you know?

B. UNITED NATIONS Human Rights bodies

T here is urgent need to encourage states to become parties to UN Treaties, by signing and ratifying, in this case, at least the ICCPR

Example: Malaysia is not a party to ICCPR. Thus, the UN bodies functioning under ICCPR are unable to intervene on gross violations of human rights there and on the abuse of ISA.

IV. Some Problems for discussion

1. A group of persons who have not violated any normal laws are kept under detention. The authorities claim that the detention is justified under ISA. How will you criticize this position? What will you do to get these people released? What will you do to abolish the ISA?

2. ISA regulations state that the Judiciary has no right to examine it or to declare it invalid. How will you criticize it? What action will you take to nullify it or abolish it?

3. If some bad judges do not want to hear cases regarding ISA or similar laws, what will you do?

Future lessons will deal with other areas of the SA such as freedom of expression and access to information.

Isolation

I need neither kinship nor friendship.
What i need is to be alone to think... to find out...
The one thing that's got me through everything in my life... The one thing i could always trust... has been my isolation.. which has never been more certain than it is right NOW.
Therefore, please keep your hands off, asshole! ... and then leave me alone... all my life. I beg mercy of Your Satanic Majesty.
What the hell am i going to be? Yup, i might going to be driven mad soon... i guess (and i afraid).
I hate myself. =(

悼 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生

日 前 從 報 上 獲 悉， 畢 生 致 力 于 推 廣 我 國 音 樂 藝 術 事 業 的 音 樂 工 作 者－ 尊 敬 的 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生， 不 幸 已 在 民 國 九 十 七 年 七 月 二 十 七 日崩 殂， 離 開 了 我 們。

和 老 師 曾 有 一 面 之 緣， 依 稀 記 得 是 在 民 國 九 十 二 年 于《 黃 河》 和 平 歌 舞 劇 上。 當 時 的 我 就 好 像 一 位 小FAN 似 的 捧 着 老 師 的 音 樂 作 品 集《 星 夜 行 程》 索 求 簽 名。 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 還 親 切 的 詢 問 我 是 在 學 習 哪 種 樂 器， 并 勉 勵 我 精 進 向 上。 老 師 的 循 循 善 誘， 莫 不 敢 忘。 可 惜 的 是， 一 年 后 堪 稱“ 音 樂 白 癡” 不 通 音 律 的 我 最 終 還 是 不 得 不 選 擇 了 放 棄 二 胡。 雖 然 如 此， 當 得 知 老 師 不 幸 罹 病 癌 癥 后， 內 心 仍 默 默 祈 禱 老 師 抗 癌 成 功。 奈 何 天 妒 英 才， 滄 海 雨 泣， 文 化 晦 冥， 攀 木 腐 心。

民 國 五 十 年 代 末 六 十 年 初， 就 在 那 共 匪 逆 賊 發 動 文 化 大 革 命， 大 陸 同 胞 如 沸 如 焚、 中 懷 饑 溺、 臥 火 抱 冰 的 年 代； 就 在 那 熱 血 青 年 紛 紛 投 身 人 類 自 由 與 奴 役 制 度 之 爭， 為 正 義 而 反 共， 圖 民 族 之 復 興， 求 國 家 之 完 整 的 年 代， 在 時 任 中 華 民 國 駐 馬 副 領 事 的 蕭 副 總 統 萬 長 先 生 的 努 力 下， 臺 灣 當 局 慷 慨 的 提 供 獎 學 金， 資 助 不 少 倍 受 當 時 聯 盟 政 府 沙 文 主 義 教 育 政 策 打 壓 而 面 臨 出 路 無 門 的 獨 中 生。陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 就 是 其 中 之 一。 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 毅 然 只 身 赴 臺， 入 讀 師 范 大 學， 主 修 理 論 作 曲。 民 主 臺 灣 的 那 段 歲 月， 為 老 師 日 后 的 音 樂 專 業， 奠 下 扎 實 的 根 基。

回 國 后， 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 無 私 的 為 本 地 特 別 是 南 馬 的 音 樂 藝 術 作 出 巨 大 的 貢 獻， 可 謂“ 鞠 躬 盡 瘁， 死 而 后 已”。 除 了 較 為 人 熟 悉 的 在 民 國 七 十 七 年 與 詩 人 小 曼 共 創 二 十 四 節 令 鼓 外， 老 師 更 是 大 馬 現 代 詩 曲 的 啟 蒙 者。 與 長 提 彼 岸 鄰 國“ 新 謠” 相 對 稱 的 新 山“ 馬 謠 交 流 站”， 便 深 受 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 的 影 響。 在 老 師 不 遺 余 力 的 推 動 下， 南 馬 特 別 是 新 山 的 合 唱 團 如 雨 后 春 筍 般 紛 紛 成 立。 新 山 能 夠 從 一 個 眾 所 周 知 的“ 文 化 沙 漠”（ 想 當 年 大 將 書 行 在 新 山 開 設 分 店 不 久 即 夭 折 嗚 呼） 轉 型 成 一 文 化 氣 息 濃 厚 的 都 市， 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 該 記 頭 功。 遺 憾 的 是， 老 師 一 生 為 在 新 山 設 立 一 間 有 水 準 的 音 樂 廳 而 奔 走， 卻 始 終 不 能 如 愿。 新 山 音 樂 廳 之 夢 想， 竟 成 老 師 未 了 的 遺 志。 文 化 建 設 尚 未 成 功， 文 化 界 同 仁 仍 需 努 力！

恰 恰 就 在 不 久 前 的 七 月 二 十 日， 團 結、 文 化、 藝 術 及 文 物 部 宣 布 把 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 列 為 國 寶 級 文 化 遺 產 在 世 人 物， 以 肯 定 老 師 為 推 動 文 化 而 作 出 的 偉 大 貢 獻。 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生 得 此 稱 號， 可 謂 當 之 無 愧。

以 印 度 圣 雄 甘 地 說 過 的 這 句 話， 來 做 為 本 文 的 總 結， 我 想 是 最 為 恰 當 不 過 的 了：
“ 當 人 把 一 生 奉 獻 給 一 件 事 情 時， 祗 要 他 在 這 樣 做， 他 已 經 是 個 偉 大 的 存 在 了。”

謹 以 此 文悼 陳 老 師 徽 崇 先 生。

PKR : Choice Between Laisser-Faire Economy and New Left Economy

I agree with the Gov’s decision : Let the self-correcting mechanism in the market resolves the oil & food crisis in long-run because i believe that nobody can avoid from Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand. However, i don’t negate the people’s rights to hold a street protest. Thus, i support the existence of 6 July Protest, but NOT its goal : to against the Petrol price hike.

But what most worry me is the New-Left (or Populist) economics promoted by some Oppositions. For example, re-distribution of land and RM6k to give away to poor family. These ridiculous suggestions may help Pakatan Rakyat Coalition State Gov to gain their own political fortunes, surely will bring big trouble to Msia Economic in long-run. I don’t negate that the low income-Msians may suffer from Globalism. I sympathize the farmers from South Korea also. But i believe that only with the existence of Trade-free lead to upgrade our productivity and then resolve the shortage of Oil & Food supply in long-run. We should learn from the lessons in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Their stupid and populism Gov pampered domestic corporation with subsidy and protest them with trade barrier, despite the huge National Debt. As a result, central banks have no choice except create more money and then led to stagflation nationwide. Finally whole country was bankrupt! Thus, i prefer to Libertarian Economic than Keynesians’ Big Gov.

In Msia, i guess Anwar Ibrahim is an opportunate choice. In my view, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) is just like a Rojak, a centrist political party consists of various convictions. On the other hand, it encourages interparty democracry. That’s also the reason why i prefer to PKR than the radical Democratic Action Party (DAP). I hope Azmin Ali, an America educated-libertarian economist can keep a balanced relationship with Dr. Syed Husin Ali, the pro-left leader in PKR.

However, my confidence on Anwar Ibrahim shaked by his recent action. As a result, now i’m trying to understand PKR’s ideology : “ promoting social justice, economic justice, eliminating political corruption and human rights issues within o non-ethnic framework” and its Agenda Ekonomi Msia (AEM) first before i confirm my mind-set.
And of course, i’ll always continue to against the crony capitalism by Barisan Nasional (BN) with no doubt. In this sense, i match with the left-wingers’stand. But in principle, my view is completely contrary with them. Although i thank and cherish the contribution from left-wingers like Parti Komunis Malaya and Parti Buruh in building Msians’awareness, but this does not mean that i accept their point. I’m a right winger who pro-Kuomintang instead.

Inflation Arising From The Oil & Food Crisis

Despite compliants of people, the Gov resolved to raise retail prise of petro and rice drastically. In my personal view, i throw my full support into PM Abdullah, who courageously pursue public interest regardless of the political consequences. However, we shall not ignore the social costs that inflation has imposed on Malaysians.

Inflation ranks high on people’s list of major national problems, generally even ahead of judicial partiality. However, most of us have many misconceptions about it. Some believe that inflation systematically erodes the purchasing power (the decline in what money will buy)of wages, are appalled by rising prises even when wages are rising just as fast, and blame inflation for any unfavorable changes in relative prices. What a crock of shit! The wages people earn are also prices (prices for labor services). During a period of inflation, wages also rise and, in fact, the average wage typically rise more in step with prices. Thus, contray to popular myth, workers as a group are not usually victimized by inflation. Nor does inflation lead to “unfair” prices due to the working of economy’s self-correcting mechanism that cures the inflationary gap. Of course, not all of the costs of inflation are mythical. For example, inflation redistributes income in an arbitrary way that distorts society’s distribution of income. The actual income distribution should reflect the interplay of the operation of free market and the deliberate efforts of Gov to alter the distribution. Infation interferes with and distorts this process. In addition, senior citizens who are trying to scrape by on pensions suffer badly from inflation. Other costs of inflations include regulation of public utilities & interest rate and so on are also very real indeed. As a result, people consider inflation to be something bad inevitably leads to alarming political leaders manage the economy in a way that promotes their own political fortunes (esp the unreasonable and ridiculous MPs from DAP) rather than stabilize the economy through Adam Smith’s invisible hand.

In recent years, Malaysia have encountered stagflation that often follows in the aftermath of an inflationary boom arising from Oil & Food Cisis. First, the nations constituting the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) got together on a collusive agreement to limit production that succeeded in rising the price of crude oil. To Malaysian consumers, this showed up as a substcutial increase in the price of petrol. To Malaysian firms, this action meants that one of the important inputs into their production process-energy-rose drastically in price, thus increasing the cost of doing business. Second, crop failure (because of poor weather and other factors) in many parts of the world sent agricultural prices soaring. Because food prices are an important component of the cost of living, this shortage added directly to inflaction. And it also contributed to inflation in two indirect ways. First, since some agricultural scraps are used as an alternative energy source, the higher agricultural prices led to higher energy prices. Second, the accelerating consumer prices encouraged labor to strive for more generous wage increases. The general lesson to be learned from these two crisis is as important as it is clear: The typical results of an adverse supply shock are a fall in output and an acceleration in inflation. This is the only one reason why the world economy is plagued by stagflation recently and it can happen again in future if another series of supply-reducing events take place.

Although the economy seems does indeed have a self-correcting mechanism that tends to eliminate inflation, its beneficial effects on inflation are sometimes swamped by strong infationary forces such as the rapid increases in aggregate demand. On the other hand, the self-correcting mechanism cannot always be relied upon. Thus, the Gov should play its role in fighting inflation, the evil of macroeconomics. But the question is how should the Gov’s ability to fighting inflation through fiscal and monetory policy? Don’t forget, the cost of reducing inflation by restrictive fiscal and monetory policies is a temporary rise in unemployment! Infation can be caused either by rapid growth of aggregate demand or by sluggish growth of aggregate supply. Thus, the Gov have many choices to make such as rising taxes, cutting Gov spending (for example, cut down the Ministries’ allowance), adjusting the open market operations and so on-can be used to decrease aggregate demand. However, some people favor Gov policies that encourage the growth of aggregate supply. Some possibilities include reduce taxes on earned income to encourage people to work harder; reduce taxes on corporations to encourage more investment, and thus faster growth of the capital stock; reduce taxes on interest and dividends to encourage more saving; and provide greater support for research and development (perhaps through tax incentives) to improve technology and then speed up the growth of productivity. These four policies all share the same goal: expansion of aggregate supply.

The conclusion, no matter which policies may possibly play the role in the fight against inflation, particularly in the long run, the Gov “must seek to reduce inflation at a lower cost in lost output and employment” (Jimmy Carter, January 1980). Consequently, a number of suggestions have been offered for eliminating the inflation. Some of these plans have actually been tried, others are still untested ideas. They range from governmental exhortations to hold down infation to outright prohibition of wage or price increases. They include efforts to improve the functioning of labor markets, plans to enlist the tax system in the battle against inflation, and institutional changes designed to rob inflation of its social costs. Although each of these ideas is worthy of consideration, the Gov must understand in advance that none is a panacea. The war on inflation, the evil of macroeconomics will last years, not months.

Forgetful S. Subramaniam

Once again the BN Gov go back on its word in general election campaign that promise a 4 sides-highway from Segamat to Muar.

In the Parliament debate recently, the Gov formally(and overbearingly) declared to postpone it sine die without caring about the feelings of Segamat people.

Disappointingly, S. Subramaniam, MP for Segamat seems pretend ignorance of this issue. The debate was requested by Halimah Mohd Sadique, MP for Tenggara who is also a veteran politician in Johor. While our S. Subramaniam has forgotten all about his election promises. He seems prefer to visit the MIC branches nationwide in order to gain personal support rather than fulfil the obligations of a MP(to serve the people).

Stand up! Segamat people! Together we shout the willing to risk anythg in our fit of desperation!

Pressure on the corrupt and inept Barisan Nasional!

A Religion to Believe? Or An Education to Practise?

佛历2552年佛诞日过去了，扰扰攘攘后我们是否应静心思考？

以下纯属个人想法：

与其把佛教定位为一个宗教，不如说它是一种教育，教导我们用出世的思想来处理入世的事务，更为恰当。为什么要学佛？“佛”是梵语“觉悟”的音译，因此学佛是为了要学“觉悟”，要了解宇宙间事变的真理，如此而已。

现在学佛的人很多，佛教看似兴旺，可事实上正面临着很大程度的衰退。有些人一味盲修瞎练，一开始就读起像华严经、心经等深奥的佛典。念了几年，除了会诵些吓人的名词如“色即是空，空即是色”、“无人相、无我相”之外，对什么是佛教要义，却往往说不出以然来。佛教之所以会被误以为迷信，不读经藏之过矣。

佛教是个给人躬行实践的教育，而非给人“信仰”的宗教。佛教说的“法相真身”其实就是哲学里宇宙的“本质”。研究佛学，可补科学之偏。

I Swear!

It's really a hard time whle life w/o her...
I could hardly hold myself up whle she turn me down...
I've been in paradise, but i've never been to me...
I've been to experience some sufferings of the past in my life, but she tops them all...
I let myself go to the dogs aft she turned me down. I quit my job, and sat at home feeling sorry for myself...
Time alone will efface those pleasant & unpleasant memories, i guess (and i hope)...
If there’s anything she need, i won’t be far away, i swear...

我想我这一辈子都只会用一个杯子和水瓶了…
两个都是她送的… 杯子是去年情人节；水瓶是去年圣诞节。
虽然两个都是作为礼貌性的回礼；都是代表着拒绝的意义… 但是我会好好地珍惜的。
我只知道，我这辈子做得最对的事情就是跟随她transfer outlet；最错的是吓到她。

Tribute To Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek

国父孙中山先生的三民主义原本就包括了民族主义、民权主义和民生主义。

蒋公并非是要谋私利而行独裁。他是恪遵国父遗训，渐推军政、训政、宪政三个阶段的治国方针。图国之兴复，盼民之自强。
蒋公青天白日之心与日月争辉，惟处处受挫于地方上的反革命军阀如李宗仁、冯玉祥、张学良、白崇禧等误国之贼，人神共愤。
历史证明，蒋公一叶知秋，其“攘外必先安内”之明，纵孔明再生不过尔尔。奈张学良受共匪奸细所惑，发动西安事变，误国之甚，莫过于此。
民国三十七年，蒋公更自愿下野，牺牲小我以促成国共和谈。惜代总统李宗仁竟携款潜逃美国，再加上豺狼共匪委蛇以虚，引俄入室，大陆逐此沦陷。

八年浴血抗日，蒋公身先士卒，奋勇杀敌，国军元气大伤。
毛贼则与八路军苟且偷生，只待日军投降后，接收伪械和俄共资助。单单缴获之重型坦克就达近千辆之多。
国军倾全部之空军力量，也只能每日空降三千士兵，接收上海、天津等几个城市，余者皆落入俄共傀儡手中。
天亡蒋公也，非战之过，非民心之失！

今有无知之徒狂言污蔑先总统蒋公尧舜之德，凡吾国民，当正谣之。
先总统蒋公不得已实施戒严，只因共匪间谍渗透台湾。
要知道国军退守台湾初期，美国持“不干预中国内政”政策，国军只得孤军抗敌，外患内忧下，非适宪政之时，先总统蒋公无奈权宜行事。
直到韩战爆发，共匪无顾人民苦难“抗美援朝”，美国人方同意协防台湾。惟先总统蒋公深谋远虑，明了国家民族主权操于自己手中，发愤自强，在台兴水利、疏南北，先经济而后政治，五院（行政、立法、司法、监察、考试）宪政逐式微。情势所逼，非蒋公之过。

夫先总统蒋公不肖煽动民粹，不齿分裂国民，不忍社会动荡；逐令流氓之辈民进党有机可乘，捞取廉价政治筹码，祸国殃民焉。

槟城缩影：乞丐满街乞讨、商业活动肃条？

故蒋总统经国先生

作为大马工业州的槟城尚且如此，更何况其他发展较落后的地方？

八十年代大马、中华民国、新加坡和韩国的人均收入相去不远，被誉为亚洲新崛起的经济四小龙，它们入口技术，出口制成品，迅速累积庞大的外汇存款。
如今大马年均收入六千美元，中华民国万二，韩国万五，新加坡三万。以出口为导向的经济转型是关键。

七十年代开始，中华民国在国际外交上节节败退：中美断交、被逐出联合国。国府转而打拼经济，时任行政院长的故总统蒋经国先生，誓完十大建设。在当时几无人相信耗资八百亿美元的十大建设可以在国府外汇存底只有十几亿的情况下完成，但故总统蒋经国先生以“今天不做，明天就会后悔”的名言，成此不朽大业。
诸类火车电气化、东西高速公路、核化发电厂、台中港营造、石油化学厂等为中华民国台湾日后走出二次石油危机，一跃成世界第六大出口国奠定基础。中华民国台湾能从一九八一年的负六十亿出口，创造出一九八七年的净五千亿出口的奇迹，不是没有理由的。

反观大马，似乎只满足于中小型工业的成就。大马拥有天时（政治上的相对稳定如军方的中立、免于冷战的旋涡）、地利（丰富的自然资源和策略性的地理位置）、人和（英国殖民地时代留下的行政官僚制度和英语国际商业环境），就是独缺一个具有前瞻性、有魄力的计划！将来就算有，恐也会沦为另一个贪污的温床，哀哉 ！

中华民国万岁！

我发现一个可怕的事实：

我一点也不爱国，我内心深处向往先总统蒋公介石先生管治下的中华民国。
蒋公，您是人类的救星；蒋公，您是民主的长城。
所谓的爱国只不过是我用来自欺欺人的幌子。
“三民主义、反攻大陆、剿共抗俄、复国雪耻”等口号在我心中回荡，让我热血沸腾。
自中原板荡，共匪窃国，凡吾国民，当发愤洗荡巢穴，蹀血北京，尽屠共匪，亦且快国仇之万一。
取故地上版图，余之愿。
我羡煞持有中华民国国民身分证的人，是个不折不扣的国民党极右派。

伤生于南夷之荒，
恐路遥归梦难成。
思悠悠，恨悠悠；恨到归时方始休。

Life is Like a Box of Chocolates...

“Forrest Gump” is an enchanting and creative parable about a contemporary holy fool.
The film tells us the story of a simple man through life, meeting historical figures, influencing first-hand events while largely unaware of their significance, due to his low IQ of 75.

Much of Forrest’s philosophy comes from his mother. Forrest often recalls her favouritesayings, “Mama always says ‘Life is like a box of chocolates... You never know what you’re gonna get.’” and “Stupid is as stupid does”.

Mama always had a way of explaining things so Forrest could understand them. “Don’t ever let anybody tell you they’re better than you, Forrest. If God intended everybody to be the same, he’d have given us all braces on our legs.”

On his first day of school, Forrest is befriended on the school bus by a girl named Jenny. “I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life.” “She was like an angel.” From that day on, Forrest and Jenny was always together, just like peas and carrots.

“I’d never named a boat before,” but there was only one Forrest could think of. The name is “Jenny”. The most beautiful name in the wide world.

Jenny’s death cause Forrest to question the nature of life. “I don’t know if Mama was right or whether it was Lieutenant Dan. I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental- like on a breeze, but i miss you, Jenny.”

Kleenex moment: Forrest Gump visits Jenny’s grave under neath their tree in Greenbow, Ala. ‘I miss you, Jenny,” He says. “If there’s anything you need, i won’t be far away”.

There is a long and fascinating tradition of the holy fool in spirit literature.Those people follow the dictates of the heart and are often able to affect great works of mercy and compassion. Their brand of selflessness is free of reason’s madness and the ego’s frivolous grandeur. Holy fools play no heed to the wordly pursuit of power, status, or financial success. That is why they are usually deemed crazy and forced to live as lonely outsiders.

The world will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump.
Hopefully, Forrest Gump will encourage many of us to express aspects of the holy fool inside ourselves.

Unreasonable Mahathir

马哈迪完全没有退出巫统的理由。
因为他，当年巫统才被法庭宣判为非法组织。
八九年党选，马哈迪制造幽灵支部，操控成绩，再加上以巫青团长党职贿赂时任彭州务大臣的纳吉临阵背叛拉沙里，导致彭州选票一夜转向，马哈迪才惊险过关。
后法院以巫统出现幽灵支部为由解散巫统。马哈迪被迫另组新巫统，惟其合法性被质疑，拉沙里成立四六精神党，表回复旧巫统四月六日创立时的精神之意。马哈迪竟干预司法，当时被革除的最高法院院长后来认为：马哈迪必须不惜一切捍卫新巫统的合法性，否则的话他和所有新巫统党籍的部长都会完蛋。
因此，个人认为一手摧毁巫统的马哈迪，没有资格讲什么拯救巫统的屁话（至少在道德标准上），别忘了阿都拉的烂摊子也是他留下的！

巫统: 腐败? 革新?

建国初期在巫统贵族派东姑阿都拉曼统治下，执政党集团的内部权力分配尚算平衡，如马华仍能掌控财长等重要部门。

五一三事件后，少壮派敦拉萨乘机夺权。他大事扩张国阵，“以党治国”，巫统实力迅速膨胀，一党独大，执政党集团内部的权力平衡逐告失衡。

胡先翁时代，巫统残余的左翼势力几全被肃清，为日后巫统逐渐靠拢资本阶级埋埋下伏笔，开金钱政治之弊端。

标榜着新希望的改革派马哈迪在八十年代上台后，巫统革新的努力最终仍是昙花一现。面对着元老派如拉沙里的围剿，他利用首相职权“以国治党”（恰恰与敦拉萨相反），打击异议者。马哈迪对党内领袖诱以官职，并把巫统与国营企业如玲珑集团挂钩，造成巫统金钱政治泛滥，道德标准一落千丈，其以往做为民族权益急先锋的形象一去不复返矣。

贪污的严重性迫使自诩道德派的回教学者阿都拉在上台后把肃贪列为首要任务，惟其懦弱的作风令此雄心勃勃之举最终还是沦为笑话。二零零八年大选，腐败的巫统被选民唾弃。可惜可耻的是巫统惨败后，不但没有痛定思痛，反而是党内不断涌现出伴随着金钱利益的权力斗争，甚至还弄出有人因不满没被委以更高职位而拒绝入阁的闹剧，巫统内部腐败风气之盛可见一斑。
