In two days time, the tenth National Congress of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) will kick off in Port Dickson. The 3-day congress will be attended by around 150 delegates and observers. This year’s congress is special in that it commemorates a decade of PSM’s existence in the Malaysian political scene. It also is the first congress since two party members were voted into political office in the last general election, breaking the four-decade drought in which there were no socialist representatives.

Semenyih, May 18 2008
It came as a shock to me to see more than 900 Bangladeshi citizens in small groups chatting and hanging and some looking far away…around the PSM Semenyih branch office at Fasa 5, Bandar Rinching. This was at the end of February 2008. We were informed that they were stationed there by their Embassy, pending employment agencies finding them job. As it was election period, some of them helped us with election work and we provided them food. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »
Parliamentary democracy is such a contradictory affair. The widespread understanding is that it enables the voice of the 25 million rakyat to be heard through the 222 elected representatives in parliament and more than double that in the state legislative assemblies. Parliamentary democracy gives the impression that an elected representative is the mouthpiece of the people, someone intimately in touch with and familiar with the reality of the lives of the rakyat.
