Malaysia witnessed great challenges in 2020. On one hand，Affected by the globally spread of COVID-19，Malaysia’s political，economic and social development encountered difficulties. Economy has seen recession since the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 and 1998. On the other hand，political struggle became more and more fierce. Tun Dr.Mahathir stepped down unexpectedly. Although Tan Sri Mahiaddin Yasin became new Prime Minister of Malaysia，he was a typically weak leader in Parliament or Dewan Rakyat with only two-seat advantage. The new Prime Minister has been challenged not only by the opposition parties，but also by supporters in ruling coalition，making the political arena unstable. In future，the major task for Malaysia is fighting COVID-19，promoting economic development and building a stable government.
