ISEAS 50th Anniversary Lecture and Exhibition

 

ISEAS 50th Anniversary Lecture by PM Lee Hsien Loong, and Exhibition

 

ASEAN needs to be an effective and central player in the region, and further deepen mutual understanding amongst members so as to socialise ourselves to think regionally, and not just nationally. ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute has a role to play in this by continuing to produce excellent research on Southeast Asia to enrich our collective knowledge and shape mindsets. This was the core message of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s lecture commemorating the institute’s 50th anniversary held at Orchard Hotel on 13 March 2018.

“PH’s campaign in Kelantan: How will it Pan Out?” by Norshahril Saat

 

2018/22, 9 March 2018

Malaysia’s general elections should happen weeks from now. The ruling BN and PH are already busy with their walkabouts and roadshows even before official campaigning begins. In the rural state of Kelantan, small scale campaigning has already begun: political parties have started the traditional “flag warfare” (perang bendera) by hanging party symbols along the main roads to increase visibility. This escalated before the Chinese New Year celebrations last month, with parties targeting those returning to the villages during the holidays.
