2024 is projected to prioritize the economy over politics following the series of elections in 2023. However, it’s anticipated that new laws will be introduced in the Dewan Rakyat to prevent lawsuits against Malaysian assets, such as those filed by individuals claiming to be heirs of the Sulu Sultanate.
Speculation over potential early elections by the Sabah Chief Minister and the upcoming election of the Opposition party, Bersatu, will likely increase the political temperature in the latter half of the year. Additionally, major trading partners and allies such as the United States, United Kingdom, India, and Indonesia will be electing new governments, further adding to the political landscape.
Aside from politics, the sporting world is gearing up for Paris 2024, offering an exciting event to look forward to.
