Abstract

This study discusses the transition of political culture of Terengganu Malay community which began from the time of the Malay Sultanate until the 13th general election. Political culture of the traditional Malay society was feudal in nature. Sovereignty in the traditional Malay politics became absolute monarchs and nobility. The people claimed to shed completely loyal to the ruler. However, after independence, UMNO did often act as sultan in the modern era. This is because UMNO is the most powerful party in the context of Malaysian politics. UMNO often highlight his image as protector to the Malay interests through its economic development policies. Malays support for UMNO very strong and dominant. However four series of elections in Terengganu in 1999, 2004, 2008 and 2013 Malay political culture has entered a new politic when UMNO is no longer dominant in Terengganu. Both parties namely UMNO and PAS in particular have the opportunity to shape a balanced government in Terengganu.
