MCA elections - noises without voices - Malaysiakini They probably take pride in what they see as a fact that MCA is more democratic and tolerant of divergent views than its three other major allies, namely the United Malay National Organisation (Umno), Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) and Gerakan, as well as its traditional nemesis Democratic Action Party (DAP). For those whose hearts and minds are still with the MCA, the contests are a sign that democracy and freedom of speech are alive and kicking in the second largest ruling party in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition. Seen from one perspective, it is true that the contestants and their supporters are much energetic and passionate in expressing their views now than their fellow politicians in the other parties. www.malaysiakini.com /opinionsfeatures/37826   (200 words)

Malaysian elections shape up as fight for Muslim soul Declaring a belief that PAS can wrest power from Mahathir's United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) in elections due within a year, the party congress emphasised its dream of turning Malaysia into an Islamic state complete with punishments such as amputation and stoning to death. Mahathir's UMNO has ruled since independence in 1957 through an alliance with Chinese and Indian parties, and observers say that even if PAS wins the battle for the Muslim soul, it is unlikely to gain enough support among these minorities to achieve its aim of taking power. He stressed that PAS would follow the legal path to power and was against the terrorist attacks on the United States and in Bali in neighbouring Indonesia. quickstart.clari.net /qs_se/webnews/wed/co/Qmalaysia-politics.RE4f_DSE.html   (661 words)
