Forms of Government 18

~ The Koboi Project

18. Autocracy: A form of government wherein a single person has unlimited power, usually but not necessarily a form of despotism. Malaysians might associate the term with the long reign of Mahathir Mohamad as Prime Minister, although his rule was effected under the auspices of Democracy..

Update 17. 12.2022: Some quarters are now suggesting that Anwar Ibrahim’s Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)signed with his Unity Government supporters on the eve of the vote of confidence on his new government, is a prelude to a new Malaysian Autocracy! The MOA allegedly contains a condition that misconstrues Article 49A of the Federal constitution as it refers to it as the basis for a clause that requires government MPs to vacate their seat if they vote against the prime minister. On the other hand one cannot but sympathize with the new PM in his desperate need to restrain Malaysian parliaments inherently amphibious condition – its tendency towards Katakcracy!

Forms of Government 9

9. Democracy: A form of government that was a modernist ideal, but is turning out to be a postmodern illusion. As we know in Malaysia it can co-exist with Hypocracy, Ethnocracy, Hypnocracy, Infocracy, Meritocracy, Idiocracy, Plutocracy and Theocracy.
