After toppling the 61-year dominant Barisan Nasional through a historic election victory in
May 2018, expectations are high for the new ruling government led by Mahathir Mohamad
and the Pakatan Harapan to fulfil their promises for socio-economic reforms and regime
change in Malaysia. But what have been the institutions of the prevailing regime that need
to be reformed and changed? This article offers a critical review of the evolving development
agendas since the 1990s of the successive governments of Mahathir Mohamad,
Abdullah Badawi, and Najib Razak, each couched in different catchphrases: Wawasan
2020, Islam Hadhari, and 1Malaysia. A close reading of these programs suggests that their
substance articulates two persistent logics: the ruling elite’s constant requirement for
political stability enforced by a strong state; and, the need to adapt to the demands and
opportunities of accumulation in specific phases of Malaysia’s capitalist development in
the context of globalization. The analysis reveals the attempts at maintaining authoritarian
neoliberalism, or a neoliberal economy embedded in an authoritarian polity, as the de
facto social regime in contemporary Malaysia. By examining policy documents, speeches,
and news reports, the article discloses how this regime had been enunciated or reified in
public discourses, policies, and actions of the respective administrations.
