U.S.–Saudi

$142 Billion U.S.–Saudi Strategic Arms Pact 


I. Executive Summary

On 13 May 2025, the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia formalized a $142 billion defense-industrial framework, announced during former President Donald J. Trump’s strategic visit to Riyadh. Touted as the largest bilateral defense package in U.S. history, the accord underpins Washington’s recalibrated posture in the Middle East while bolstering Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 defense autonomy agenda.

The pact integrates high-technology procurement, capability transfer, and joint operational architecture, reinforcing Saudi ambitions to achieve force modernization, localized defense manufacturing, and strategic deterrence.

II. Structural Composition of the Defense Accord

The agreement is distributed across five primary modernization domains, each addressing a core aspect of future warfare and allied interoperability:

1. Aerospace Superiority & Strategic Airlift

Prime Contractors: Boeing, Lockheed Martin

Deliverables:
  • F-15SA Fleet Modernization: AESA radar integration, advanced EW suite, and multi-role munitions compatibility
  • Strategic Lift Assets: C-130J Super Hercules procurement for tactical mobility, logistics, and disaster response

Deliverables:
  • C4ISR Integration Framework: AI-enhanced battlefield awareness, predictive analytics
  • Quantum-Resistant Encrypted Communications
  • Cloud-Native Data Fusion Infrastructure: Inter-theater intelligence pipeline and real-time decision support
  • End User: Saudi Armed Forces Cyber Command, MODA
III. Strategic Support Capabilities

Beyond primary armament and platforms, the agreement includes critical support enablers to ensure lifecycle sustainment and operational readiness:

6. Space-Based Assets & Early Warning

Prime Contractors: Lockheed Martin, SpaceX (via DoD facilitation), Northrop Grumman

Deliverables:
  • Satellite-Based ISR Systems: Strategic surveillance, early warning, space domain situational awareness
  • Ground Segment Infrastructure: Command uplinks, orbital tasking systems
  • End User: MODA, RSNF
7. Training, Doctrine & Sustainment

Prime Contractors: SAIC, CAE, Booz Allen Hamilton

Deliverables:
  • Simulation-Based Warfighter Training: Aircrew, infantry, and staff officer curricula

8. Commercial Offsets & Industrial Localization

Prime Contractors: GE, Honeywell, Raytheon Technologies, Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI)

Deliverables:
  • Co-Production Facilities & Local Assembly: Rotorcraft parts, avionics, defense electronics
  • Workforce Transfer Programs: STEM training, defense logistics education
  • Technology Licensing & IP Transfer
  • End User: General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI), SAMI
IV. The F-35 Conundrum: Geostrategic Ambiguity

Despite Riyadh’s long-standing ambition to acquire the F-35 Lightning II, the aircraft remains outside the current framework:
  • Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge (QME) remains a statutory constraint within U.S. FMS doctrine.
  • Discussions are ongoing under Congressional oversight but no delivery commitments or clearances have been issued as of Q2 2025.
V. Contextualizing the $142 Billion Valuation

Much like the 2017 $110 billion Trump-era announcement (which realized only $34.6 billion in contracts), this package includes:
  • Pipeline LOAs (Letters of Offer and Acceptance)
  • Legacy MOUs rolled forward
  • Projected FMS over a multi-year horizon
Analysts caution that the $142 billion figure is aspirational, not a confirmed contract ledger.

VI. Integration Within a $600 Billion Strategic Umbrella

The arms agreement forms a core pillar of a broader $600 billion U.S.–Saudi bilateral investment framework, which includes:
  • $20B for AI data centers in Arizona and Texas
  • $14.2B in GE turbine systems to rewire Riyadh’s energy grid
  • $4.8B in Boeing commercial aircraft for Saudia and Riyadh Air
VII. Strategic & Geopolitical Implications

Force Interoperability: Reinforces joint U.S.–Saudi operational alignment across the Gulf, Red Sea, and Levant theaters

Deterrence Positioning: Counters Iranian influence; hardens Yemen frontier; hedges against non-state actors (e.g., Houthis)

Normalization Limbo: Riyadh maintains preconditioned stance on Palestine; no diplomatic breakthrough with Israel is embedded in the pact.

VIII. Risks, Oversight & Accountability

Conflict of Interest Probes: Persistent scrutiny over Trump-affiliated Gulf investments

Human Rights Concerns: Escalation in Yemen, internal repression, unresolved accountability for Khashoggi

Oversight Mechanisms: GAO review sought for offset integrity, defense job creation estimates, and timeline accountability

IX. Strategic Outlook: Executional Viability

This agreement signals a renewed defense-industrial alignment between Washington and Riyadh. However, its executional integrity hinges on:
  • Congressional authorization cycles
  • Regional escalation volatility
  • Saudi defense-sector absorption capacity and sustainment architecture

Strategic Rating:

Watchlist — High Aspirational Value | Moderate-to-High Execution Risk

Gaza

As of 26 May 2025, the Gaza Strip remains the epicentre of a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian catastrophe, exacerbated by sustained Israeli airstrikes on civilian infrastructure, including educational institutions and UN-designated shelters.

1. Targeting of Educational Institutions and Civilian Shelters

Multiple Israeli air assaults have resulted in severe civilian casualties, including a disproportionate number of children:
  • Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School, Al-Daraj (Gaza City): An early morning airstrike on 26 May resulted in 13 fatalities and 21 injuries. The facility was functioning as a shelter for internally displaced persons (IDPs).
  • A subsequent assault on a separate school in the vicinity claimed 20 additional lives, including multiple women and children, with reports of victims being severely burned.
  • UNRWA-Operated School, Al-Bureij: On 25 May, a double-strike on a UN school—housing approximately 2,000 displaced civilians—led to 30 deaths, many of whom were women and minors. Survivors described catastrophic conditions, including entrapment and fire-induced suffocation.

2. Civilian Fatalities Across Gaza

Additional airstrikes across multiple governorates have further compounded civilian suffering:
  • In Deir al-Balah, a strike on a tent encampment resulted in the deaths of a mother and her two children.
  • In Jabalia, a similar incident killed five civilians, including a pregnant woman and a child.
  • In Khan Younis, an airstrike on a physician’s residence killed nine of his children, sparing only one survivor. The youngest victim was seven months old.

3. Allegations of Incendiary Rhetoric and Dehumanization

Statements attributed to Israeli political figures have further intensified international concern:
  • On Israeli Channel 14, Moshe Feiglin, a former Knesset member, declared: “Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy... We need to conquer Gaza and colonize it and not leave a single Gazan child there.”
  • An unnamed Israeli activist was quoted saying: “You need to destroy their offspring.”
  • These declarations, if verified, may be interpreted under international law as incitement to genocide and violations of the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit targeting civilian populations.

4. Humanitarian Catastrophe and Starvation as a Tactic
  • According to B’Tselem, a leading Israeli human rights NGO, the Israeli government has been accused of “using starvation as a method of warfare”. The blockade and military control of 77% of Gaza’s territory has precipitated an unprecedented crisis in access to food, potable water, fuel, and medical supplies.
  • The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that over 95% of Gaza’s schools are either damaged or completely destroyed, thereby eradicating formal education for more than a million children.

5. Rising International Repercussions and Calls for Accountability
  • Spain has publicly condemned Israel’s operations as "inhumane", advocating for immediate arms embargoes and sanctions.
  • Since March 2025 alone, over 3,785 civilians have been killed, raising the cumulative death toll since October 2023 to approximately 53,000, amid allegations of collective punishment and indiscriminate warfare.

14/5
Subject: Reproductive Violence & Humanitarian Aid Weaponization: Occupied Palestine
Date: Q2 2025


SECTION I – EXECUTIVE SYNOPSIS

Subject assessment indicates a credible pattern of state-facilitated reproductive harm and systemic food deprivation targeting Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. Accumulated evidence supports legal thresholds under Article 2(d) of the Genocide Convention, with tactical convergence between medical violence, demographic sabotage, and logistics-based population control.


SECTION II – REPRODUCTIVE TARGETING MECHANISMS

A. ICJ Submissions: Genocidal Prevention of Births

Originating State: Republic of South Africa
Forum: International Court of Justice (ICJ)
Statute Invoked: Genocide Convention, Article 2(d)

Documented Allegations:
  • Non-consensual obstetric procedures (e.g., C-sections absent anesthesia)
  • Medically unnecessary hysterectomies, resulting in irreversible infertility
  • Deliberate obstruction of prenatal care access via siege/movement restrictions
B. Malnutrition-Linked Reproductive Collapse

Clinical trends confirm:
  • 300% increase in miscarriage and preterm labor incidence
  • Drivers: nutritional insufficiency, potable water scarcity, and psychosocial stress from kinetic warfare conditions

SECTION III – HISTORICAL PRECEDENT & SYSTEMIC FRAMEWORKS

A. Ethiopian Fertility Suppression Case Study (Israel, 2013)
  • Target: Ethiopian Jewish immigrant women
  • Modality: Uninformed administration of long-term hormonal contraceptive (Depo-Provera)
  • Outcome: Documented 50% fertility rate reduction
  • Denials issued by state actors; contradicted by demographic trendlines and whistleblower records
B. Pharmaceutical Experimentation on Detainees
  • Allegation: Non-consensual human testing of unlicensed pharmaceuticals on Palestinian prisoners
  • Oversight: Israeli Ministry of Health (MoH)
  • Descriptor: “Clinical use of detainees as test subjects akin to lab animals” – Human Rights Watch (HRW) interview archives

SECTION IV – FAMINE DYNAMICS & LOGISTICAL DENIAL

A. Current Aid Logistics Profile (May 2025)
  • Documented Entry: <90 trucks/day (pre-war average: 600/day)
  • Classification (UNOCHA): IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophic) – ~22% population at famine risk threshold
B. Alleged Aid Manipulation
  • No confirmed chemical adulteration of rations detected (as of date)
  • Biopolitical weaponization inferred through strategic aid throttling
  • Operational effect: birth prevention via induced systemic collapse of maternal viability

SECTION V – LEGAL & FEMINIST FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS
  • Comparison to historic sterilization programs targeting Native American and African-American women (U.S.)
  • Legal analysis: Starvation + denial of reproductive healthcare = reproductive coercion, meeting IHL and ICL violation parameters
  • Status of enforcement: ICJ provisional measures ordered; compliance unverified

SECTION VI – LOCALIZED RESISTANCE FRAMEWORKS

Revival of First Intifada-era “resistance economy”:
  • Micro-production of preserves, flours, and essential goods
  • Civil rejection of Israeli-controlled food corridors
  • Signals emerging autonomy models in humanitarian supply chains under siege conditions
  • Operational Indicator Severity Index

SECTION VII – ANALYTIC ASSESSMENT TABLE

Threat Vector: Reproductive Violence
Operational Indicator: Medical abuse, forced infertility
Severity Index: High (meets legal thresholds)

Threat Vector: Aid Weaponization
Operational Indicator: Logistics control to induce famine
Severity Index: High (genocidal modality)

Threat Vector: Medical Experimentation
Operational Indicator: Detention-based pharmaceutical testing
Severity Index: Moderate–High (low visibility)

Threat Vector: Institutional Accountability
Operational Indicator: Enforcement of ICJ rulings, IHL violations
Severity Index: Low (systemic impunity)

Threat Vector: Civil Resilience Infrastructure 
Operational Indicator: Grassroots cooperatives, local food systems Rising (adaptive capacity evident)
Severity Index: Rising (adaptive capacity evident)


SECTION VIII – PRIORITIZED MONITORING DIRECTIVES

(A) ICJ Proceedings – Monitor progression of South Africa’s case, including amicus briefs and procedural orders.

(B) NGO Intel Aggregation – Amplify reporting pipelines from USCPR, JVP, Addameer, and Physicians for Human Rights–Israel.

(C) Aid Chain Vetting – Develop forensic oversight of incoming aid contents and sourcing pathways; track community perception indicators.

(D) Support Civil Infrastructure – Engage discreetly with local cooperatives to fortify food sovereignty models independent of state-controlled aid.

Subject Profile: Yasser Abu Shabab
Type: Non-State Armed Actor
Region of Operation: Gaza Strip (Primarily Northern Sectors)
Affiliations: Armed gangs; reported ISIS-adjacent ties
Status: Active – re-emerged in military uniform as of May 2025


Executive Summary

Yasser Abu Shabab has resurfaced in northern Gaza as the de facto commander of a criminal-armed network engaged in the disruption of humanitarian aid operations. Publicly claiming to “secure” aid convoys, his group is widely accused of looting and extortion. Intelligence assessments suggest his activities are being tolerated—or strategically leveraged—by Israeli military forces as part of a broader destabilization effort aimed at eroding Hamas' centralized authority through non-ideological proxy actors.


Behavioral Indicators


Militarized Rebranding:
Public appearances in tactical gear; self-positioning as a logistics enforcer.

Criminal Activity:
Directly implicated in theft, extortion, and interference with aid distribution.

Proxy Characteristics: 
Open-source and ground reports indicate tacit Israeli protection or deconfliction.

Public Perception: 
Deeply unpopular with civilians and resistance factions; viewed as a profiteer exploiting Gaza's humanitarian crisis.


Strategic Implications

Governance Disruption: Abu Shabab’s emergence represents a tactical blow to Hamas’ operational control in the north, filling the vacuum with non-ideological armed actors aligned with criminal objectives.

Humanitarian Obstruction: His group's manipulation of aid flows is contributing directly to the breakdown of organized relief efforts, particularly in famine-vulnerable corridors.

Community Fallout: Heightened tension among affected populations risks triggering retaliatory responses by local militias or Hamas elements seeking to restore order and credibility.

Proxy Warfare by Non-State Actors: His operational pattern is consistent with indirect warfare strategies, enabling chaos through deniable partnerships and fragmented control zones.


Situational Threat Assessment – Gaza (Q2–Q3 2025

Analytical Objective: Assess Abu Shabab’s destabilizing influence on Gaza's governance, security, and humanitarian infrastructure.


Actor Identity:
Indicator: Armed gang leader with ISIS-linked network
Assessment: Non-state, opportunistic, non-ideological
Impact: Medium

Operational Capacity:
Indicator: Controls mobile armed units disrupting aid logistics
Assessment: Tactical disruption, limited strategic reach
Impact: Medium–High

Political Alignment:
Indicator: Unaffiliated with Hamas; likely tolerated or used by Israeli forces
Assessment: Proxy actor within broader destabilization strategy
Impact: High

Civilian Relations:
Indicator: Accused of looting, extortion, intimidation
Assessment: Unpopular; destabilizes community cohesion
Impact: High

Engagement with Israel:
Indicator: Reports of protection or coordination during aid operations
Assessment: Suggests plausible deniable collaboration
Impact: High

Threat to Hamas:
Indicator: Undermines resistance authority via black-market networks
Assessment: Weakens central governance legitimacy
Impact: High

Threat to Humanitarian Corridors:
Indicator: Direct involvement in aid theft and distribution sabotage
Assessment: Compromises relief corridors in famine zones
Impact: Critical

Long-Term Implications:
Indicator: Represents shift toward criminal-led governance under siege conditions
Assessment: Institutional collapse risk in northern Gaza
Impact: Critical


Recommendations for Monitoring Units

(1) Map logistical corridors and checkpoints where Abu Shabab’s forces operate, with emphasis on convoy interception points. 

(2) Task HUMINT / SIGINT / OSINT units to confirm Israeli posture—look for ROE adjustments, patrol gaps, or radio silence patterns in Abu Shabab–controlled zones.

Hati berbunga

Ara selamat tiba di Cyprus pagi Sabtu. Aku telah menunda jadual penerbangan ke hari Selasa, yang asalnya dijadualkan berlepas pada petang Ahad. Aku maklum bahawa Ara masih keletihan; biarlah dia berehat sehari dua sebelum mengambil alih tanggungjawab menjaga kembar. Menjaga empat orang anak kecil sememangnya bukan tugas yang mudah.

Aku menyambut ketibaan Ara di lapangan terbang. Sebaik sahaja pulang ke rumah, aku telah siapkan mandian limau purut sebagai bilasan terakhir selepas mandi — bertujuan memulihkan tenaga serta menyegarkan badan dan minda. Sebelumnya, aku siapkan juga air rendaman daun bawang untuk tujuan refleksologi. Usai mandi, Ara tidur lena hingga masuk waktu Asar.

Malamnya, setelah makan malam, kami meluangkan masa membaca buku bersama anak-anak. Kembar turut serta, memilih buku bergambar karya Robert Sabuda — antara penulis buku kanak-kanak pilihan ramai ibu bapa. Ilustrasinya yang kreatif dalam bentuk pop-up berjaya menarik minat anak kecil mendekati dunia pembacaan dan meminati buku. 

Selesai sesi membaca, Ara tidurkan kembar. Aku juga masuk tidur lebih awal malam itu. Hati terasa sungguh bahagia — aku menerima sebuah hadiah: kereta mainan, berupa trak 4WD dan lori kontena. Aku letakkannya di atas meja di sisi katil. Hadiah itu sangat bermakna. Sepanjang hari aku tersenyum — hati berbunga-bunga. Sukar digambarkan dengan kata-kata.

Ibn Hazm & Kuasa Cinta

"Ada satu petikan puisi, untuk hidup bersama kita perlu ketepikan cinta. Ketika di usia muda, tentu kita tak setuju"
"Semua orang kawin sebab cinta, clearly"
"Cinta elemen yang penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Kata Ibn Hazm, cinta adalah sebahagian daripada sifat manusia yang mendalam, menekankan dimensi emosional dan spiritual. Ibn Hazm percaya cinta melampaui daya tarikan fizikal dan berakar pada hubungan jiwa dengan jiwa yang lain. Cinta mempunyai satu kuasa transformasi dalam membentuk watak dan tindakan kita, menjadikan kita lebih penyayang dan berbudi pekerti"
*peluk lengan*
"Ibn Hazm menekankan banyak aspek tapi antara yang menarik berkaitan kepentingan memelihara bahasa ibunda, sains dan sejarah sesebuah bangsa. Tiga elemen ini dikaitkan dengan kestabilan politik dan kesejahteraan masyarakat"
"You really seem to know a lot about love"
"Well, if you want to master love, you should read Ovid's Ars Amatoria. It's an ancient book written in couplets as a guide to the art of love and seduction. The work is divided into three books — the first two are for men, on how to find and keep a lover, and the third offers guidance to women on how to win and maintain love"
"So, you’ve read the whole thing?"
"Belum. Abang baru tahu pasal buku ni dua tahun lepas. Why would I need to read it when I’m already a love expert?"
"Flirting expert"
"I am love itself, sayang"
"Abanggggggg"
"Hahahahahahaha"
"Jangan manis sangat boleh tak"

The Unity Government is undertaking a pivotal recalibration of Malaysia’s fiscal trajectory, anchored on sustainability, institutional credibility, and international alignment—particularly with the fiscal policy frameworks endorsed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. At the core of this recalibration is YB Senator Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan, serving as Minister of Finance II since December 2023. This briefing outlines the strategic contours of his role, situates ongoing reforms within the global macro-fiscal context, and identifies implications for inter-agency coordination.

II. Technocratic Fiscal Stewardship: Strategic Positioning of Amir Hamzah

Amir Hamzah’s leadership signifies a structural shift toward technocratic, non-partisan fiscal governance. With a corporate pedigree—including past appointments as CEO of EPF (KWSP) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB)—he represents a new fiscal orthodoxy centred on efficiency, accountability, and evidence-based policy.

His mandate includes:
  • Fiscal rule-setting under the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA)
  • Revenue expansion and tax system modernisation via the Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS)
  • Alignment with IMF macro-fiscal diagnostics, particularly in debt sustainability, deficit targets, and subsidy optimisation

III. Alignment with IMF Article IV Recommendations (2024)

During the 2024 IMF Article IV Consultation, Amir Hamzah functioned as the chief policy interlocutor, translating international recommendations into actionable national reforms. The IMF’s assessments validated Malaysia’s direction, citing commendable efforts in:
  • Enhancing fiscal discipline and reducing off-budget commitments
  • Rebalancing subsidies toward targeted frameworks, mitigating regressive fiscal outflows 
  • Broadening the tax base, including preliminary policy groundwork on potential GST reintroduction
This positioning enhances Malaysia’s credit profile, fortifies sovereign risk assessments, and signals regulatory coherence to capital markets and multilateral lenders.


IV. Key Policy Instruments Under His Portfolio

Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan is currently overseeing several pivotal policy instruments that are structurally aligned with IMF frameworks and central to Malaysia’s fiscal reform trajectory:
  • Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) – This legislation institutionalises fiscal rules, including debt ceilings and deficit targets, to anchor long-term fiscal discipline and reduce procyclicality in public spending. The FRA represents Malaysia’s commitment to rules-based fiscal governance, a core IMF recommendation.
  • Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS) – The MTRS outlines a comprehensive roadmap for revenue expansion and tax system modernisation. It encompasses measures to improve tax compliance, reduce leakages, and broaden the tax base, thus ensuring greater fiscal resilience.
  • Subsidy Rationalisation Framework – This policy initiative aims to transition from blanket, universal subsidies toward a more targeted and needs-based approach. It is designed to reduce fiscal leakages, improve equity, and reallocate resources toward high-impact social spending—an area repeatedly emphasised in IMF fiscal surveillance reports.
  • GST Policy Re-exploration – Under Amir Hamzah’s stewardship, the Ministry of Finance II has reactivated internal studies and stakeholder consultations regarding the potential reintroduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). This move is intended to reinforce revenue sustainability and reduce dependence on volatile, cyclical revenue streams such as petroleum-related income.
Each of these instruments directly supports Malaysia’s macro-fiscal consolidation goals and positions the country in alignment with international best practices in public financial management.


V. Strategic Implications for Policy Stakeholders

Given the centrality of Amir Hamzah’s portfolio to national fiscal health, all relevant ministries and economic agencies must:
  • Ensure policy coherence with MTRS and FRA objectives in all budget submissions and fiscal proposals
  • Coordinate subsidy and social protection policy design with MoF II to align with rationalisation frameworks
  • Align tax policy reforms with international standards to maintain Malaysia’s competitiveness and transparency
  • Prepare for fiscal decentralisation impacts, particularly on states dependent on federal subsidies and grants


VI. Conclusion 

YB Senator Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan represents the fulcrum of Malaysia’s transition toward IMF-consistent fiscal governance. His role is critical in institutionalising reforms that enhance macroeconomic stability, regulatory confidence, and long-term fiscal sustainability

IMF

1. Background: IMF Structural Reform Orientation

Structural reform is a cornerstone of IMF’s policy prescription for fiscally or economically distressed economies.

Core components include:
  • Subsidy rationalisation
  • Labour market reforms
  • Privatisation of state assets
  • Public expenditure and tax system restructuring

Objective: Enhance macroeconomic efficiency and institutional resilience.


2. Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS)

An IMF-initiated framework adopted globally (also supported by OECD and World Bank).

Focus: Build sustainable, broad-based revenue systems aligned with medium-term fiscal planning.

Not externally imposed; to be tailored to national priorities.

Key caution: Avoid one-size-fits-all implementation lacking contextual sensitivity.


3. Malaysia’s Historical Posture on IMF (Post-1998)

1997–1998: Malaysia rejected IMF assistance under Tun Dr. Mahathir’s leadership.

Adopted independent crisis response:
  • Capital controls
  • Currency pegging
  • Selective fiscal measures
Outcome: Long-standing skepticism of IMF’s direct involvement in domestic policy.


4. Current Engagement: IMF Article IV Mission (2023/24)

Malaysia invited IMF for routine Article IV Consultation—standard across member countries.

IMF endorsed key fiscal reform initiatives:
  • Subsidy rationalisation
  • Tax base expansion
  • Long-term revenue sustainability
Engagement framed as technical consultation, not financial dependency.


5. MTRS Adoption and Alignment with National Frameworks

Malaysia formally adopted MTRS principles in fiscal policy design.

Anchored in domestic legislation and budget planning:
  • Fiscal Responsibility Act 2023 
  • Madani Budget 2024
Emphasis on:
  • Transparent fiscal governance
  • Targeted social expenditure
  • Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) 


6. Structural Reform Pillars under the MADANI Government

Rafizi Ramli has prioritised structural reform to address:
  • Labour market rigidities
  •  Pension system liabilities
  • Inefficient universal subsidies
Government asserts reforms are domestically driven and not externally mandated.


7. Fiscal Risk Management Using IMF Methodology

Fiscal Risk Report 2023 (MOF):
  • Utilised IMF-aligned methodologies
  • Addressed:
      • Contingent liabilities
      • Off-budget fiscal risks
      • Public debt sustainability
Indicates methodological harmonisation with international fiscal governance standards.


8. Key Considerations and Risks

Malaysia has not sought IMF loans; policy alignment is voluntary and strategic.

However, excessive alignment without localisation may risk:
  • Perception of external policy capture
  • Erosion of economic sovereignty
  • Reduced policy flexibility for social protection and development priorities

Malaysia & IMF

Structural Reforms within the IMF Prescriptive Framework

Structural reforms are intrinsic to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) prescriptive architecture, particularly for countries grappling with fiscal imbalances and macroeconomic distress. These reforms typically encompass subsidy rationalisation, labour market restructuring, privatisation of state-owned enterprises, and comprehensive overhauls of tax systems and public expenditure frameworks. The overarching objective is to enhance macroeconomic efficiency and institutional resilience.

Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS)

The Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS) is an initiative introduced by the IMF to support countries in formulating robust, sustainable revenue policies over a multi-year horizon. Rather than serving as an externally imposed agenda, MTRS constitutes an integrated fiscal policy framework aimed at improving revenue mobilisation and fiscal governance. Its adoption must be context-sensitive, aligning with national priorities rather than replicating universal models uncritically.

Political Realities and Global Economic Environment

While the IMF’s engagement with Malaysia—particularly through technical consultations and Article IV surveillance missions—is standard for all member states, public perception remains sensitive to any semblance of externally dictated policymaking. The risk lies in overreliance on template-driven reforms that lack contextual adaptation to Malaysia’s unique socio-economic structure, potentially undermining national policy credibility and grassroots welfare outcomes.

RR vs NIA

Kempen merebut jawatan Timbalan Presiden Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) kini menjadi fokus nasional, menyaksikan pertembungan antara Dato' Seri Rafizi Ramli dan Nurul Izzah Anwar. Namun, perkara asas yang lebih penting ialah persoalan kelayakan Nurul Izzah, anak kepada Perdana Menteri, untuk bertanding jawatan ini, khususnya selepas kekalahan beliau dalam PRU DUN Permatang Pauh kepada Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan. Dalam konteks ini, terdapat banyak tokoh lain yang mempunyai rekod lebih kompeten dan kredibel. Kegagalan ini mencerminkan kemandulan politik dalaman parti dalam melahirkan kepimpinan yang berwibawa. Ia menimbulkan persoalan tentang budaya politik pewarisan yang terus membelenggu struktur kepimpinan PKR.

Kita perlu menerima hakikat bahawa kesinambungan dan ketahanan PKR dalam era pasca-Anwar Ibrahim adalah sangat rapuh. Parti ini terlalu bergantung kepada karisma peribadi Presiden, yang membentuk kebergantungan karismatik — kekuatan parti tidak bertunjangkan institusi tetapi individu. Karisma Anwar menjadi faktor utama yang menyatukan pelbagai ideologi dalam PKR, dari reformis Islamis, aktivis sivil kiri, buruh marhaen hinggalah teknokrat bandar progresif. Ketiadaan sosok setara yang mampu memainkan peranan penyatu ini bakal mengundang fragmentasi dalaman yang mendalam. Ini menimbulkan keperluan mendesak untuk membina struktur kepimpinan yang berlandaskan sistem, bukan lagi persona.

Pemilihan jawatan Timbalan Presiden bukan sekadar kompetisi dalaman, tetapi merupakan indikator kepada hala tuju masa depan parti. Ketiadaan pelan peralihan kuasa yang jelas mahupun institusi pembangunan kepimpinan yang mantap menunjukkan kelemahan struktur dalaman PKR. Situasi ini memperlihatkan ketandusan pelapis yang mampu mendapat penerimaan konsensus akar umbi. Lebih membimbangkan, perlantikan berdasarkan hubungan kekeluargaan berbanding merit mengundang rasa skeptikal dalam kalangan anggota. Jika amalan ini diteruskan, ia akan menghakis kredibiliti PKR sebagai parti reformasi dan mempercepatkan proses disintegrasi dalaman. Akhirnya, parti bakal kehilangan legitimasi di mata rakyat.

Peristiwa “Langkah Sheraton” telah membuktikan PKR kekal sebagai entiti politik yang mudah tergugat apabila berlaku perbezaan strategik atau ketidakpuasan dalaman. Parti ini jelas kekurangan daya tahan institusi apabila diuji oleh konflik kepimpinan dan cabaran kuasa. Tanpa penyusunan semula struktur akar umbi dan pembaharuan ideologi yang menyeluruh, PKR akan terus kehilangan daya tarikan politik, khususnya dalam kalangan generasi muda dan kelas menengah bandar. Generasi ini tidak lagi terikat pada emosi politik, tetapi menilai prestasi berdasarkan prinsip tadbir urus dan kecekapan pentadbiran. Maka, penyusunan naratif dan sistem kepimpinan baharu perlu digerakkan segera untuk mengekalkan kepercayaan pengundi. 

Sudah tiba masanya untuk PKR membina sebuah Model Transisi Kepimpinan Ideal yang mampu menangani jurang antara idealisme reformasi dan realiti politik kontemporari. Model ini mesti dirangka dengan pendekatan sistematik yang menumpukan kepada institusionalisasi kepimpinan, dengan penekanan kepada kelayakan sebenar, bukan keturunan politik. Pemilihan pemimpin perlu berasaskan rekod integriti, keupayaan rentas kaum dan ideologi serta kompetensi dalam tadbir urus. Audit prestasi secara berkala dan pemilihan terbuka harus dijadikan amalan tetap. Pada masa sama, think tank bebas perlu digerakkan untuk melatih pelapis melalui kurikulum strategik dalam dasar awam, etika, komunikasi politik dan kepimpinan akar umbi.

Kita wajar mengambil pelajaran daripada pemikiran agung Ibnu Khaldun dalam karya klasik Muqaddimah, yang menggariskan lima fasa kejatuhan sesebuah pemerintahan: (1) Penaklukan dan kejayaan; (2) Kestabilan dan pemuliaan diri; (3) Kemakmuran dan kesenangan; (4) Kepuasan dan kompromi; (5) Pembaziran dan dekadensi. Dalam fasa kelima, beliau menulis: “Pemerintah hidup dalam kemewahan melampau dan membazir kekayaan yang dihimpun. Urusan penting negara diserahkan kepada yang tidak layak. Pengampu diangkat, pengkritik jujur dihina. Kadar cukai meningkat, hasil menurun. Ekonomi lumpuh dan sistem sosial tergugat. Kerajaan menjadi sakit yang tidak mampu dirawat.” Analogi ini sangat relevan dalam menilai kejatuhan sebuah negara.

PKR perlu segera beralih daripada pendekatan kepimpinan berasaskan warisan kepada sistem yang memartabatkan meritokrasi dan kecekapan. Kegagalan untuk merangka pelan transisi yang sistematik hanya akan mempercepatkan proses delegitimasi politik parti. Pembinaan struktur kepimpinan masa depan harus menekankan kecekapan teknokratik, kejelasan visi, serta keupayaan untuk menyatukan fraksi parti secara rasional dan inklusif. Sekiranya model ini tidak dibina segera, PKR akan terus terperangkap dalam krisis kepimpinan yang kronik dan kehilangan fungsi sebagai agen perubahan dalam landskap politik Malaysia seterusnya menyebabkan parti kehilangan daya saing dalam menghadapi realiti politik yang semakin kompleks dan mencabar.
