Description

In this study of Malaysia’s new political economy, Gomez unwraps decades of political involvement in Malaysia’s corporate sector, focusing on the omnipresent control of government-linked investment companies (GLICs) through a complex system of power which rests at the apex body that is Minister of Finance Incorporated (MoF Inc.).


Malaysia possesses a unique history of government-business relationships, spanning from a piece of legislation that permitted the Executive to own companies since 1957. The nexus of a variety of ownership methods and directorship ties, as well as bailouts, have ultimately led to the accumulation of corporate wealth in the hands of a mere seven GLICs. A series of events that includes Tun Mahathir Mohamad’s unprecedented move to concurrently take on the role of Prime Minister and Minister of Finance has shifted enormous corporate power to the office of the Executive.
