Abstract:
Although the population in Malaysia is still not considered elderly in Asia, the number of elderly population has recorded a steady increase since the early 1990’s. Findings from the Department of Statistics’ 2000 Census reveal an increase in the percentage of elderly from 5.9 per cent in 1991 to 6.2 per cent (about 1.5 million) in 2000. This is a clear indication that demographic ageing is taking shape in Malaysia.

The paper is aimed at discussing the Muslim men perceptions towards political participation among the Muslim women as based on the research data gathered from April 2002 to April 2003. In findings, it is concluded that the Muslim men do agree for the women to participate in politics. They do not oppose for the women to be appointed as representatives at Dewan Negara. However, for those women who are involved and aimed at the level of public decision-making or so-called Parliament House, some ‘qualifications’ constructed by them need ‘to pass’ before they are accepted to participate in it.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.  Author: Roslina Ismail.

The article discusses the author's view regarding the case of Datuk Jeffery Kitingan in the Malaysian Court. The author provides an expert advice in the form of an affidavit, which was requested by Harjeet Singh. The affidavit was intended to be presented as an expert opinion that the charges involving the alleged corrupt transfer of funds to bank accounts in Hong Kong by Kitingan, a Sabah Kadazan-Dusun politician and the Director of the Sabah Foundation, were indeed politically motivated.

By investigating the development process of Malaysia’s healthcare policy and various mode of healthcare privatization, this article aims to outline the behavior and triangular relationship of state, interest groups and civil society which form the basic network of healthcare policy.
 
Since the launching of its privatization policy in the early 1980s, Malaysian Government has gradually opened up the once public hospital dominated and non-profitable organization supplementing healthcare market for private investment. Related policies include: (1) encouragement for private hospital and private medical insurance business; (2) corporatization of government hospital, such as IJN and teaching hospitals; (3) introduction of full payment system in the public hospitals; (4) setting up of private wing or commercial accounting department in the government hospitals ;(5)contracting out non-medical services, such as medical store and health support services.
