		In the 1999 general election, rocked by the arrest and trial of former UMNO deputy Anwar Ibrahim and the subsequence formation of the Barisan Alternatif opposition coalition, UMNO's share dipped to 54% of the vote and 102 out of 144 seats despite allegations of vote-rigging.
		On 25 June, 1987, an appeal was filed by 12 of the UMNO delegates (one of whom, Encik Hussain bin Manap, withdrew unexpectedly in August) to have the assembly and the election of April 1987 declared null.

	10th General Election in Malaysia
		Pemantu, a grass roots election observers group had received complaints of "phantom voters" in the electoral rolls and had made an inference that there was a "systematic attempt to organize the voter registration" to favour certain parties.
		In all previous elections, UMNO the leading component of Barisan Nasional was seen as a true representative of Malays and have been overwhelmingly voted to power in the Malay heartland (Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis).
		On the election results, the headline of the Malaysian newspaper "Star", read "UMNO's worst fears come true." If this is true one can expect the ruling coalition led by UMNO to make special efforts to bring back the disillusioned Malays to their camp.

		The most recent national elections, in March 2004, were conducted in a generally transparent manner, but the opposition complained of the ruling coalition's exploitation of the powers of incumbency.
		The election law makes it an offense for a candidate to "promote feelings of ill will, discontent, or hostility." Violators could be disqualified from running for office, and during the March 2004 national elections both the election commission chairman and the prime minister warned candidates not to violate the amended law.
		The government generally restricted remarks or publications that might incite racial or religious disharmony; it also attempted to restrict the content of sermons at mosques in the states controlled by the governing coalition.

		The massive victory of Malaysian Prime Minister Datu Sri Abdullah bin Ahmad Badawi in the general election on 21st March sent a clear message to all that Malaysian voters have rejected conservative or orthodox version of Islam.
		Furthermore, the election result shows that the deep divide in the Malaya community, caused by the September 1998 sacking and arrest of Anwar Ibrahim, the former Deputy Prime Minister, seems to have been healed.
		The election has demonstrated that Malaysia is a pillar of stability and democracy has taken a firmer root in the country than some of other fragile democracies in South-East Asia and North Asia.

		But Malaysia's Election Commission, nominally independent, has consistently bowed to the ruling coalition's desire for the shortest of campaign periods, and that's exactly what this is. Scheduled for only 18 days from when parliament was dissolved, this year's election period is the shortest in Malaysia's history.
		The Election Commission chairman contended that there is a "need to form a new government quick enough" and to ensure "there are no uncertainties that could threaten the safety of people".
		According to a study commissioned by the election watchdog Malaysians for Free and Fair Elections (Mafrel), there is a strong possibility of "phantom voters" in the electoral rolls as of last September (the latest rolls are updated through last December).

		General Assembly of Malaysia's premier ruling party, UMNO, in late September, was the first to be addressed by Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi as party president.
		Having led the party and its ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional, to an overwhelming victory in the general elections in March, he was expected to preside over a celebration of his leadership.
		So just as Abdullah had served his father, PM Tun Razak in 1969 as Secretary of the National Operations Council, now it was his turn, he said, to be a faithful deputy to Abdullah as PM.

		If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry, and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader, according to a new TIME poll conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2.

		Rashid and the Election Commission had been seriously remiss, irresponsible and negligent in the conscientious discharge of their constitutional duty for the conduct of elections in failing to address this bane of the election process in the country down the decades.
		In countries like India where the Election Commission is an intrepid symbol of integrity of fair election laws and their enforcement, fearing neither the ruling parties nor the Opposition, an order would have been issued to suspend elections.
		Turnout can be expected to be higher during General Elections because voters prefer to vote the Opposition to represent them in the Federal Parliament – as a check and balance, and to deny the BN of its two-third majority.

		The financial crisis that swept across Asia in the late 1990s had a limited impact on the Indians in comparison to the country's other groups as the Indians were largely exempt from the benefits of Malaysia's rapid economic growth during the previous decade.
		The Indian proportion of the Malaysian population continues to decline from a high of more than 15% early in the 20th century to around 8% due to emigration in search of a better livelihood.

		I hope that the forthcoming MCA elections will be transparent, without “phantom voters.” If the elections were fair, then I believe the outcome is too close to call at this time.
		MCA must be strong with core values founded on love of and care for the Chinese community as well as fairness, justice, integrity, discipline, courage in their convictions, and tolerance for differences in opinions.
		By ensuring that its forthcoming party election in August 2005 will be clean and transparent, and by offering its members clear viable choices for the leadership position, MCA will be leading our country into a new era of democratic party contestations where the best man can win.
