“…All kinds of democratic pathologies will proliferate if there is no change in election regulations and an increase in the performance of law enforcement that allows electoral crime plotters or actors to remain free to play a role in undermining the integrity of the electoral process. [17] An act that is prohibited by a regulation is accompanied by threats (sanctions) in the form of certain crimes for anyone who violates the prohibition. It can also be said that a criminal act is an act that is prohibited by a rule of law and is punishable by a criminal act, (i.e., a situation or event caused by a person's behavior), while the criminal threat is directed at the person who caused the incident.…”

Legislative candidates currently face large costs due to direct legislative election. Therefore, only candidates with strong finances have the opportunity to nominate. The situation causes the appearance of less qualified candidates. Instead of building knowledge, ability, and integrity, candidates only focus on building their financial strength. Legislative election violations may occur due to intentional elements or due to negligence. Anyone can commit election violations. Everyone has the potential to become perpetrators of election violations. As an anticipation, Law number 7 of 2017 on General Elections has regulated the election at every stage in the form of obligations and prohibitions with additional sanctions. To date, the legal sanctions are only about removal of names from nominations. No legal action has been taken regarding this issue. On the other hand, law enforcement officers also do not understand the application of material legal rules in the field of criminal acts related to general elections.

“…The existence of an exoneration clause, as can be shown, causes an imbalance in the bargaining stance between business actors (producers and consumers). [17] The agreement is still in force today based on the opinion that allows or does not allow the existence of the standard agreement in business activities, trade, or the financial industry. As a result, the author will attempt to discuss the standard agreement of the ideals contained in positivism's teachings or paradigm.…”

The conditions of this standard agreement can be provided by employing clauses that have been created or standardized and written in the form of groups with a large number that can be used for all agreements of the same type. The parties can create the standard agreement, although the contents are sometimes dictated by one of the parties. A unilateral standard agreement can also be defined as one that is determined by a party with a strong position in the agreement. It is actually the same as the legal requirements for an agreement agreement in general, which are contained in the provisions of Article 1320 of the Civil Code, as a legal requirement in the standard agreement or standard agreement. Even if it is included in the standard agreement, it is in violation of the parties' right to contract freely. However, as long as the parties do not object to the basic agreement being entered into, it can be regarded to be legitimate under Article 1320 of the Civil Code.

“…We propose a conceptual framework drawing from political settlements theory (Khan 2010) as well as contributions by Pritchett and Werker (2012) and Sen (2013), which we use to explain why growth decelerated in the post AFC phase, after a prolonged period of rapid economic growth. 2 To construct our analysis of Malaysia and Thailand's political settlements, we build on the platform provided by influential studies such as Doner (2009) and Khan's (2010) for Thailand and Gomez (2016) and Weiss's (2016) for Malaysia, but deepen their analyses by fine-tuning some of their classifications and periodisations. Gomez (2016:572) and Weiss (2016) for example, argue that Malaysia has had a "single dominant party" operating in a "competitive-authoritarian political system" since the late-1980s, a slightly messy analysis that obscures important shifts by bundling several concepts together.…”

The elusive quest for high income status—Malaysia and Thailand in the post-crisis years

Both Malaysia and Thailand were seen to be part of the miracle growth economies of East Asia and fast moving into high income status in the early 1990s. Following the Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) of the mid 1990s, both countries have observed prolonged growth slowdowns. In this paper, we offer a political economy explanation of the growth slowdown in Malaysia and Thailand in their post AFC phases. We argue that the nature of the political settlement in these two countries determined a growth strategy that was predicated on offering deals in the export-oriented manufacturing sector that was accessible to most firms, at the same time, offering closed deals to politically connected firms in the natural resource and services sectors. As the political settlement moved to a vulnerable authoritarian one in both countries, such a dualistic deals strategy became patronage based over time and detrimental to growth.
