Introduction
In the 1980s, the understanding and practice of Islam in Malaysia
entered a new phase. The global Islamic resurgence coupled with local
Malaysian factors saw numerous important events talcing place. First, in
1981 Dr. Mahathir Mohamed became Malaysia's fourth prime minister.
Second, in 1982 the opposition Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) was
taken over by new leadership that claimed total commitment to setting
up an Islamic state and rejecting nationalism and ethnic politics. Also, in
the same year, Anwar Ibrahim, then the president of the Malaysian

a positive factor to develop the Malays ...
