马来西亚最大的在野党阐述了其对所控制的四个州的经济愿景，包括吸引更多投资的计划，并对在全国执政的前景愈发自信。
Malaysia’s biggest opposition party laid out its economic ambitions for the four states it controls, including plans to attract more investment, as it grows more confident about prospects of taking power nationally.
马来西亚伊斯兰党（Parti Islam Se-Malaysia），一个曾被视为只在农村马来族核心地区执政的伊斯兰政党，副主席艾哈迈德·萨姆苏里·莫克塔尔表示，计划在所谓的SG4组合的北部和东部州发展从稀土加工、半导体到可再生能源和伊斯兰金融等产业。
Parti Islam Se-Malaysia, an Islamist party once consigned to ruling rural Malay heartlands, wants to develop industries ranging from rare-earth processing and semiconductors to renewable energy and Islamic finance across the northern and eastern states that make up the so-called SG4 grouping, according to Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, the party’s vice president.
该党（简称PAS）正试图将其吸引力从保守的穆斯林基础选民中拓宽，并在瞄准国家治理的同时树立其经济资历。它的议席数已从2018年的18个议席稳步扩大到2022年的43个议席，成为单一政党中席位最多的，并控制全国13个州中的四个州。
PAS, as the party is known, is seeking to broaden its appeal beyond its conservative Muslim base and establish its economic credentials as it sets its sights on national governance. It has steadily expanded its electoral footprint from 18 parliamentary seats in 2018 to 43 in 2022, the largest of any single party, and controls four of the country’s 13 states.
虽然在马来西亚碎片化的政治格局中获得绝对多数将十分困难，但作为在野联盟“协作民族联盟”（Perikatan Nasional）的领头羊，PAS有望在未来的联合政府中成为主导伙伴。
While an outright majority would be difficult in Malaysia’s fragmented political landscape, PAS, which leads the opposition Perikatan Nasional alliance, could emerge as the dominant partner in a future coalition government.
“协作民族联盟在下一次预计于2028年初举行的全国大选中，有‘很大机会，甚至更大的机会’提升其表现，”艾哈迈德·萨姆苏里周一在该党于吉隆坡举办的首届商务与经济论坛上对记者说。该州在活动中与包括中国能源国际集团在内的投资者签署了谅解备忘录。
Read: Malaysia’s Islamist Party Gains Ground as Business Grows Wary Perikatan stands “a good chance, or even a better chance” at improving its performance in the next general election that is due by early 2028, Ahmad Samsuri told reporters on Monday at the party’s first business and economic forum in Kuala Lumpur. The states signed memorandums of understanding with investors, including China Energy International Group, at the event.
该计划的核心是马来西亚日益受到关注的矿产资源。四个州——登嘉楼、吉打、吉兰丹和玻璃市——约占全国稀土资源的70%，萨姆苏里表示，这使它们有潜力吸引矿业以外产业的投资。
A centerpiece of the plan is Malaysia’s increasingly sought-after mineral resources. The four states — Terengganu, Kedah, Kelantan and Perlis — account for about 70% of the country’s rare-earth resources, giving them the potential to attract investment in industries beyond mining, Samsuri said.
“目标不应仅限于开采和出口原材料，”同时也是石油资源丰富的登嘉楼州州务大臣的萨姆苏里表示。他说，在矿床具有商业可行性的地方，各州应推进加工、先进材料、技术转让和下游制造业，同时确保本地企业参与其中。
“The objective should not be limited to extracting and exporting raw materials,” said Samsuri, who is also chief minister of oil-rich Terengganu. Where deposits are commercially viable, the states should pursue processing, advanced materials, technology transfers and downstream manufacturing, while ensuring local companies participate, he said.
伊斯兰党的经济主张还包括计划探索一个伊斯兰金融中心，将符合伊斯兰教法的资本与四个州的投资连接起来，以及打造一个绿色能源产业中心，最终可能支持绿色氢能和绿色氨等产业。
PAS’s economic pitch also includes plans to explore an Islamic financial hub connecting Shariah-compliant capital with investments across the four states, as well as a green-energy industrial hub that could eventually support industries such as green hydrogen and green ammonia.
其提议包括修建一条连接吉打州居林高科技园（主要的半导体制造中心）与吉兰丹东海岸某港口的公路，以及在吉打州建设一个货运机场，旨在促进芯片和电子产品出口。伊斯兰党还希望扩建登嘉楼和吉兰丹的港口，作为改善贸易联系、为四个州吸引更多制造业和物流投资的更广泛努力的一部分。
Its proposals include a highway linking Kedah state’s Kulim Hi-Tech Park, a major semiconductor manufacturing hub, with a port on Kelantan’s east coast, and a cargo airport in Kedah aimed at boosting exports of chips and electronics. PAS also wants to expand ports in Terengganu and Kelantan as part of a broader effort to improve trade links and attract more manufacturing and logistics investment to the four states.
外国政府和公司开始考虑下一次选举后马来西亚的政治格局可能是什么样子。萨姆苏里表示，欧洲外交官最近向他询问政府更迭可能如何影响马来西亚与欧盟的关系。
Foreign governments and companies are beginning to consider what Malaysia’s political landscape could look like after the next election. Samsuri said European diplomats had recently questioned him about how a change in government might affect Malaysia’s relationship with the European Union.
“我们当然希望合作，我们希望双方互利，不仅是欧盟公司受益，马来西亚也能受益，”萨姆苏里说。他是一名航空航天工程师，拥有英国利兹大学的博士学位。
“Of course we want to work together, and we want to have a mutual benefit for both parties, not just the EU companies, but for Malaysia as well,” said Samsuri, an aerospace engineer who holds a doctorate from the University of Leeds in the UK.
当被问及他是否会成为伊斯兰党的总理候选人时，同时也是反对派联盟主席的萨姆苏里避而不答。“到时候再说吧，”他说。
Asked whether he could be PAS’s candidate for prime minister, Samsuri, who is also also chairman of the opposition bloc, demurred. “We’ll come to that when the time comes,” he said.
“政党需要展示其能将这四个州的优势转化为可持续的经济增长，”数字营销机构Digievo首席执行官Fazli Halim在论坛上表示。“真正的考验不在于这些州拥有什么，而在于它们能多有效地将潜力转化为投资、优质就业岗位、更高收入以及给民众带来更好的机遇。”伊斯兰党控制的这些州属属于马来西亚最不发达的州属之一，严重依赖联邦拨款或石油收入来推动增长。
The party needs to show it can transform the strength of the four states into sustainable economic growth, Fazli Halim, chief executive of digital marketing agency Digievo, said at the forum. “The real test is not what these states possess, but how effectively they can turn their potential into investment, quality jobs, higher incomes and better opportunities for their people.”The states that PAS controls are among Malaysia’s least developed, relying heavily on federal funding or oil revenue to drive growth.
伊斯兰党及其盟友也提议改变马来西亚联邦政府向各州分配发展基金的方式。Samsuri呼吁建立“州际财政与发展均衡公式”，使拨款更透明，减少受政治因素影响的可能性。
PAS and its allies are also proposing changes to the way Malaysia’s federal government distributes development funds to states. Samsuri called for an “interstate fiscal and development equalization formula” that would make allocations more transparent and less susceptible to political influences.
“我们不能否认州级与联邦机构之间也存在一些相互竞争和冲突的职权，”他说。“当我们在联邦层面执政时，将尽最大努力设法解决这些冲突。”
“We cannot deny that there are also some competing and conflicting authorities between state and federal agencies,” he said. “When we come into power at the federal level, we are going to try the best way how to solve” those conflicts.
