Malaysia's political landscape is shifting, primarily due to the increasing influence of Islamic-oriented parties such as the opposition Perikatan Nasional (PN). Discontent with the ruling coalition's liberal agenda has led to significant electoral successes for PN, achieving control in several states during the 2023 elections. PAS, a key member of PN, promotes conservative Islamic policies, including hudud implementation and stricter dress codes. This reflects a broader 'green wave' of support for conservative Islamic values among younger Malay voters, highlighting the ongoing ideological battle in Malaysian politics.
"In the states PAS governs, such as Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, and Perlis, it has been pushing for policies aligned with its conservative Islamic ideology, including efforts to implement hudud (Islamic criminal law)."
"The opposition Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition has been gaining popularity and electoral ground over the past decade, achieving an astonishing electoral success in the 2023 state elections."
