Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of urban Muslim religiosity in Malaysia and the patterns of adaptation of Islamic values ​​in the context of contemporary social modernity. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study began with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Then it involved twenty urban Muslim informants aged 25–55 years in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Putrajaya through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and field documentation. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-stage thematic analysis. The findings identified five main sub-themes: the intensification of exoteric religiosity that is not always balanced by interior spiritual depth; digital piety mediated by social media platforms with tensions between authenticity and performativity; consumption-based religiosity through the halal economy and modest fashion ecosystem; the agency of urban Muslim women who actively negotiate religious identity among state, market, and community pressures; and the influence of political Islam and state-sponsored Islamization on the construction of urban Muslim identity. This study argues that modernity does not erode the religiosity of Malaysian urban Muslims, but rather transforms it into a more reflexive, individualistic, and hybrid form. The classical secularization thesis has proven inadequate to explain the trajectory of Malaysian urban Islam; what is taking place is a complex reconfiguration of religious expression and authority amidst constantly shifting global-local dynamics.

Abstract

The establishment of Danantara (Badan Pengelola Investasi Daya Anagata Nusantara) as the state investment holding introduces a new governance structure for Indonesia's state-owned banks, raising important questions about banking regulation, supervisory independence, and the public mandate of state-owned financial institutions. Existing banking legislation provides limited guidance on how this institutional arrangement should be reconciled with prudential banking principles and the established allocation of regulatory authority. This study examines the legal consequences of Danantara's controlling shareholding over Indonesia's Himbara banks through normative legal research employing statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The analysis focuses on the interaction between corporate control, banking supervision, and financial governance within Indonesia's legal framework. The study finds that the current regulatory framework leaves unresolved issues concerning the separation between ownership and supervisory functions, the preservation of prudential governance standards, the institutional independence of financial regulators, and the public-service orientation of state-owned banks. These gaps create legal uncertainty regarding accountability and regulatory coordination in the governance of state-owned banking institutions. The article argues that these challenges require a differentiated regulatory approach that distinguishes policy-driven state ownership from conventional corporate control. It proposes a legal framework for policy-based controlling shareholdership to clarify the allocation of rights and responsibilities, and to establish regulatory safeguards applicable to sovereign investment holdings in the banking sector. This framework contributes to the broader discussion on sovereign wealth fund governance and banking regulation by offering a conceptual model that may guide future legislative and regulatory reforms in Indonesia
