The so -called new country is not to challenge the existing system under constitutional regulations, but to respond to the arrival of democratization. Through various political and economic reforms, the efficiency, value and culture of state organs will be transformed.The family building plan expands the social alliance in order to reshape the country's personality and spirit.
Malaysia realized the first political party rotation in 2018, but the owner's regime collapsed soon, but in 2022, the second political rotation was created.Observing the problems faced by Malaysia's emerging democracy, it can be said that only political parties rotate, without political and social transformation, including ethnic and religious disturbances, are caused by the transformation of the society that has not yet completed.It has spawned a new regime, but it has not been able to get rid of the old country, and the national system and social economic structure have not been transformed.
Whenever a successful democratization case, it is by no means staying from the old government to the new government. It also needs to present a new national personality and different social consensus.Under the continuous impact of the Malaysian Democratic Movement since 1998, the new power group replaced the old regime, but it has not yet stepped out of the character of the old country, let alone the emergence of new countries.
Malaysia was independent in 1957, but the first founding of the country was actually in the early 1970s.At that time, the state organs that were shaped at that time continued to this day. The current cultural, economic, and political structure was established after the May 13th incident, which is different from the national spirit when independence in 1957.UMNO established a new country in the social crisis that year, established national cultural policies, new economic policies, strengthening bureaucratic organs, and transformation of foreign relations.Even after more than 50 years later, political parties have rotated, but the new regime inherits the original old country.
Therefore, the historical tasks of the new regime are not after the government, but it still stays in the operating logic of the old country. Instead, it is necessary to transform the social and economic structure and make new national character and national habits.
The so -called new country is not to challenge the existing system under constitutional regulations, but to respond to the arrival of democratization. Through various political and economic reforms, the efficiency, value and culture of state organs will be transformed,Only to expand the social alliance can reshape the country's personality and spirit.
The personality and habits of the new country must be manifested in the new consensus of institutional reform, economic performance, and political community.
System reform is the primary project of the main transformation of the people, and it is also a prerequisite for democratic consolidation.The meaningful institutional reform has strengthened the neutral professional spirit of civil servants. It not only regulates the later governors, but also guarantees that the existing ruling party is not treated by the existing party.
More importantly, an institutional reform with positive significance can be declared to state organs and vested interests: the spirit of the new era has arrived, and the interests of the interests of the old regime and the former authoritarian attendant model are about to fade out.If you persist in institutional reform, it will also affect social style, repair procedure justice, professional ethics, corporate governance, accountability spirit, academic standards, and workplace specifications.On the surface, the reform of the political and economic system is essentially to reshape the spiritual consensus on morality, ethics and intelligence.
Should be applied to the new economic and allocation model
Emerging democracy requires legitimacy. Economic performance can strengthen the legitimacy of democratic politics, making people believe that the direction of democracy is good and just.However, sustainable economic performance also needs to be achieved through economic structure reform, otherwise it cannot change the predatory relationship of the old regime, as well as the new economic and distribution model.For example, even if the spirit of the New Economic Policy (NEP) continues, at least it must be more pragmatic and accurate in practice. From the predatory interest relationship, it is adjusted to a strategic growth strategy that is conducive to the competitiveness and professional power of indigenous people.
New countries must have new weather.Economic performance that echoes democratic transformation cannot stay in the old model of pursuing growth figures, but to find new economic cumulative strategies and rebuild political and business relations.After the disappearance of globalization and Chinese dividends, the past low -growth model cannot be continued. The new regime must independently construct the feasible industrial policy, support the strategic industry, strengthen competitive constitution, and improve the efficiency of state -owned monopoly institutions, improve the political politicsAppointment mechanism.Policy bureaucrats need to strengthen planning and innovation capabilities to meet the governance needs of developed countries.New countries must also develop a positive policy of welfare measures, rather than lack of directional populist subsidies.
Of course, the most arduous project of the new country is not the utensil system, but the reshaping of the national spirit and cultural value, otherwise democracy will consolidate the protracted.In recent years, many countries have suffered a decline in democracy, which originated from the rise of identity politics.The political Islamic trend faced by Malaysia, in addition to exposing unequal distribution, lack of national capabilities, and the threat of technological changes to grassroots people, during the democratic transformation, because of the anxiety of identity and political anxiety, the political of Malaysia, the political transformation, to Malaysia, the politics of Malaysia,The community loses a sense of consensus and cohesion.
Therefore, the new regime must show their ability in cultural strategies, and urgently need to shape nationalism that conforms to a diverse society through culture, morality and value concepts, and integrate the national and people's consensus on political community.
The consensus of reshaping the political community must also be based on cultural and artistic policies, including enhancing local cultural identity and creating common memories of movies, music, literature, and historical moment.Youth nationals need common citizen education, rather than distinguishing moral education training based on religious beliefs.The new regime should attach importance to community culture and community creation. This is a way to strengthen the people's feelings and links of land, and cultivate community democracy and local identity in local culture.
Malaysia has entered the ranks of emerging democracy. It is necessary to go from transformation to shape.In addition to doing a good job of political and economic governance, how to distinguish between spiritual and consciousness from the old countries, and establishing the self -confidence and pride of the people is the plan for a century -old renewal.Prime Minister Anhua quoted Liang Qichao's Xinmin in his Asian Renaissance.At that time, Liang Rengong tried to evoke the consciousness of the Chinese and emphasized that "the new people are the first urgent work today in China", and Anwar takes himself as the planner of Madani.Must.
