 *The feeling of a Sabahan in Malaysia.* Malaysia is presently a polarized nation. I cannot claim to be a proud Malaysian while the country is run on racial and religious divides rather than meritocracy, and worst of all, there is corruption at almost all levels of the government, reaching dimensions unparalleled in scale.

*Malaysia's Grim Islamic Future - Asia Sentinel* https://www.asiasentinel.com/p/malaysia-grim-islamic-future A modern, moderate Southeast Asian nation of 34 million people with a healthy ethnic minority of Chinese, Indian, and indigenous groupings to go with its 58 percent Malay majority, Malaysia appears to be hurtling toward a 6th Century Islamic Shariah future. It is happening not because of overwhelming popular demand but because of years of cynical political manipulation and corruption. Dennis Ignatius, a former career top Malaysian diplomat and ambassador, has written a three-part examination of how this came about. It also appears on his blog www.dennisignatius.com . While it is longer than our normal format allows, we present it here because of its importance and because of his articulate analysis of how this tragedy has transpired.

POLITICS Asia Sentinel Malaysia's Prime Minister in Crisis Currency falls to lowest level in history OCT 31, 2023 By: Cyril Pereira The whole country is stunned by the drop in Malaysia's currency, the ringgit, to its lowest exchange rate of RM4.79:US$1. That has triggered calls for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to give up his dual role as finance minister and urgently appoint a competent one to focus on revitalizing the economy. Opposition members are calling for Anwar's resignation. His voters have seen no substantive reform after one year in power, either. Citizens are losing patience.
