Abstract
Fuelled by hopes and aspirations of Malaysian citizens, the results of GE14 provided a break from history and a starting point to redefine citizenship and progress for the nation-state: create a New Malaysia . This research analyses political engagement and perspectives on modernity in a nation-state that is characterized by fragmentation.
