A Brief Analysis of Malaysia's Eleventh General Election
UNISCI DISCUSSION PAPERS Octubre de 2004 A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF MALAYSIA’S ELEVENTH GENERAL ELECTION AUTOR1: JOSEPH CHINYONG LIOW IDSS- NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY SINGAPUR FECHA: October 2004 Introduction The Malaysian general election held on 21 March 2004 proved to be the most successful electoral victory for the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN or National Front) in the history of Malaysian electoral politics. The BN coalition party, fronted by UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) along with major allies the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) and MIC (Malaysian Indian Congress), garnered a total of 199 of 219 parliamentary seats and limited the opposition to a meager 20 seats. All in all, the BN won 64% of popular support. Results of state elections, held concurrently in all the states in the Malaysian federal system with the general election except for Sarawak, were equally impressive, with the BN amassing a total of 453 out of 504 state seats. More striking however, were the results in Kelantan, the stronghold of the Islamic opposition PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia), and Terengganu, which PAS managed to wrest from UMNO at the 1999 elections. How did BN manage such a dramatic reversal over such a short period, and what are the implications of this result for the future of Malaysian politics? 1999 Indeed, in order to assess the magnitude of the BN’s “comeback” at the 2004 general elections, it is worth revisiting the outcome of the previous elections in 1999 so as to give our discussion a proper context. 1 Las opiniones expresadas en estos artículos son propias de sus autores.

Malaysiakini.Com March 10, 2007 Soon Li Tsin and Kuek Ser Kuang Keng
‘Dr M punished me for Kasitah probe’ Malaysiakini.com March 10, 2007 Soon Li Tsin and Kuek Ser Kuang Keng Mohamad Ramli Abdul Manan’s last major assignment as Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) officer was investigating allegations of corruption involving former land and cooperative development minister Kasitah Gaddam. Soon after he and his team of 15 officers had completed the probe, he was moved out his post as Sabah ACA chief. He believed it was former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad who ordered him to be transferred out of Sabah and put in cold storage at the ACA headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. “I think (it was) Mahathir because when I ask them (ACA officers), they said it was orders from high up. That was in 2000,” he told malaysiakini in an exclusive interview. “A few Sabah ministers went to see Mahathir but I have no proof (of that). I asked ‘why are you all treating me like this’, and they said orders from the top. Who else?” Since last week, Ramli has been in the media spotlight for his claims that his ex- boss, ACA director-general Zulkipli Mat Noor - the country’s top anti-graft fighter - was himself corrupt. The revelations came from a report sent last year by Ramli to then IGP Bakri Omar. The report, first published by malaysiakini, contained explosive allegations against Zulkipli - ranging from corruption to sexual assault. Zulkipli (left) - who has been ACA chief over the past six years - has denied the allegations. A special task force involving the police and the Attorney-General’s Chambers has since been set up to probe Ramli’s allegations.
