2008 General Elections

Mobilise Peoples' Power to Defend Democracy!

30 Jun 2008

Post March 2008 is a period of great promise. Now both fronts, the Barisan Nasional and the Pakatan Rakyat, have to compete to prove themselves to the people of Malaysia. There is no doubt that the breaking of the 2/3 majority in Parliament as well as the conquest of 5 states by the Pakatan Rakyat has propelled Malaysian politics into a new era.

However it is an era that has great risks as well. UMNO is now akin to an injured tiger. Still strong because it is still the largest single party in the country and it practically controls the levers of government at the Federal level. However it faces the hitherto unthought of possibility of losing control of the Federal Government either at the next elections or even sooner if Anwar and the PR can induce enough BN MPs to cross over.
