Why does Malaysia keep getting personality clashes, party fractures, and political drama — while policy debates feel weak or missing? Because there’s a systemic incentive behind it: First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) (a “simple majority” seat system). Under FPTP, the goal shifts from representing votes to winning seats and consolidating authority. It’s easy to administer, but it can clash with the spirit of democracy: converting votes into seats fairly, and then into policy. #Malaysia #PolitikMalaysia #
