Abstract

This study aims to understand how Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) functions as a political ideology within the context of Brunei Darussalam’s absolute monarchy, to analyze its formation and the core components of Malay identity, Islam, and monarchy, as well as to evaluate its implementation in public policy, the education system, and governance. Furthermore, this research seeks to explore how MIB sustains monarchical legitimacy and political stability amid global modernization, while also identifying its implications for transparency, public participation, and modern governance in Brunei Darussalam. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a literature study method. Primary data were obtained from official government documents of Brunei Darussalam, while secondary data were derived from academic literature. The research instrument used was a literature data recording sheet designed to organize findings from the literature review. The analytical technique applied was content analysis, which systematically interprets the content of texts and documents. The findings reveal that the concept of Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) represents a political ideology that integrates Islamic, Malay, and monarchical values to affirm Brunei Darussalam’s national identity. This ideology serves both as a symbol of nationhood and as a foundation of political and moral legitimacy that underpins the Sultan’s authority within the absolute monarchy. MIB internalizes cultural and religious values to foster social cohesion and political stability amid global uncertainty. The governance system of Brunei demonstrates that political stability can be achieved through ideological and moral legitimacy rather than through electoral processes as in democratic systems. This model places trust, obedience, and moral responsibility as the fundamental pillars of state governance, where monarchical power is perceived as a manifestation of the nation’s religious and cultural values.

Abstract

This study examines the layered barriers faced by Sherly Tjoanda in constructing her political leadership identity in North Maluku as a leader simultaneously carrying three minority attributes: a woman, of Chinese descent, and a Christian in a predominantly Muslim region. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on public document analysis, media coverage, KPU electoral data, and recent academic literature (2022–2025). The theoretical framework integrates intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989), the glass ceiling concept (Morrison et al., 1987), hegemonic masculinity (Connell, 1995), and transformational leadership theory (Burns, 1978; Bass, 1985). Findings identify three clusters of barriers: gender-structural barriers rooted in patriarchal norms and party recruitment systems, ethnic-religious identity barriers that mobilize majoritarian sentiment, and legitimacy barriers questioning her political agency. Nevertheless, Sherly successfully navigated these barriers through transformational leadership strategies characterized by empathy, a public service narrative, and the productive mobilization of public sympathy. Her victory with 51.68 percent of the vote in the 2024 regional election demonstrates that local democratic maturity can transcend identity boundaries. This study contributes to the intersectional framework in Indonesian women’s leadership scholarship and enriches the literature on transformational leadership within complex identity contexts in local politics.
