Conservatism in Malaysia is particularly tied with religion. Islam is a major religion in Malaysia, with many religious groups being highly influential on politics or political groups. The conservative United Malays National Organisation were a dominant political force for several decades.
Islamic conservatism has existed in Malaysia since the 1970s, with many Muslim groups taking conservative stances on human rights, women's rights and LGBT rights.[1] Conservatism is perceived to have increased in the country in the 21st century.[1][2] Close Malaysia–Saudi Arabia relations are thought to have in part influenced this trend.[2][3] Conservative Muslim values have occasionally influenced educational institutions.[4]
