Johor is known for its UMNO-born state on May 11, 1946, which has been the stronghold of UMNO in Malaysia since the first General Election (GE-1). The UMNO-led BN won GE-1 to GE-13 in the state for the state assembly by winning more than 2/3 seats. But in the 14th general election, Johor for the first time fell to the opposition party Pakatan Harapan (PH), which used the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) logo by winning 36 state seats compared to the BN (19 seats) and PAS only 1 seat. Johor politics changed again on February 26, 2020 when the PPBM (BERSATU) stepped out of the PH and formed the Perikatan Nasional (PN) along with Muafakat Nasional (MN) and a Indipendent people representative. This political dynamic is an interesting arrangement involving political strategy and art in order to gain political power either constitutional or have an interest. It is, therefore, the purpose of writing this article to analyze election politics in the GE-14 and post-GE-14. Based on the analysis of the 2018 GE results, field observations and secondary sources such as journal articles and conference papers, the findings show that the victory of the BN and the defeat of the BN in the GE-14 and the post-PN PN PN victory in Johor prove that nothing is impossible who remains in politics. Indeed, political science is full of dynamics and artistry. The stronger national issues influenced the political decisions of the people of Johor, and the state and local leaders of Johor also took their turn. PH victory in GE-14 fueled by support from China and India in addition to young Malay voters and most of the First Time Voters are influenced by social media. The implication of this article is that the victorious party must exercise the responsibility of a just and trustworthy government for the good of the people while the deceased must play a role as the builder in ensuring the physical and spiritual development of the people of Johor in the eyes of all politicians in the state.

The leadership pattern of youth association leaders is still seen in the old notch. A large number of youth leaders still depend on assistance from superiors in the success of youth programs. This gives an idea of the failure of youth leaders to be independent. The guidance and guidance given by Felda does not seem to be effective in forming youth leaders who are able to be independent. The phenomenon of dependence among youth leaders is very worrying because it can hinder the progress of Felda. Thus, this study was conducted to explore the dimensions, factors and strategies of dependence among Felda youth leaders. This study is qualitative in nature by using interview methods and analysis of related documents as data collection methods. A study informant was selected in this study who is a youth leader in Johor Region who is the President of Felda Youth Council. This study found that there are two themes related to the dimension of dependence, namely the dependence of financial resources and the dependence of the network of employment opportunities. While this study found that there are two factors that cause the dependence of Felda youth leaders, namely culture and systemic approach. Meanwhile, there are two strategies to overcome dependence on Felda, namely building relationships with external parties and running economic programs. It is hoped that the results of this study will benefit Felda in finding the best approach to develop a generation of youth leaders who are able to be independent in administering their youth associations. This is very important to ensure that Felda in particular and the country in general do not have a shortage of caliber leaders in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
