Religion in elections

Buddhist and Christian youth groups have issued statements to reject Hudud laws and Islamic state in defence of the status of secular state.


The conspiracy of outlaw

The race between BN and PR these five years has turned complicated. Supporters’ fanaticism and the tense atmosphere they have hitherto built up might be exploited by discontented extremists. These extremists are likely to create chaos and multiply capers to attain their malicious goals.


Staging the climax

Although the reputation of Dong Zong has somewhat faded over all these years, its status and influence in the Chinese community should not be underestimated. It is not wise to be hostile to Dong Zong.


The obstacles to seize Johor

Pakatan Rakyat takes Johor as its front-line state while party parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang wishes to start off a political tsunami in Johor. The success or failure of the battle in the state might be the key deciding whether Pakatan Rakyat can take over Putrajaya.


'Allah' is more than just a word

With the Perkasa duo, Ibrahim Ali and Zul Noordin, entering the fray as Umno sponsored parliamentary candidates, racism and religious bigotry is set to rear its ugly head again especially over the 'Allah' controversy.


Every vote counts

Some 6,360 oversea voters will cast their ballots on April 28. Although these postal voters only make up an insignificant 0.05% of all the 13.29 million registered voters in the country, to many of these first-time postal voters, their votes carry historical significance, because this is the first time in the nation's history ordinary voters are allowed to send in their ballot papers by post. Only military personnel and civil servants posted overseas were allowed to do so in the past.


Speaking the truth

Compared to other political leaders, the candidness of PAS' Ustaz Harun Din is what his rivals should emulate.


Bad strategy

The election war is yet to reach a climax four days into the campaign period, as both the ruling and opposition coalitions still have to fix their own internal problems first.


To forget or not to forget

Still remember Zulkifli Noordin and Mat Taib? Unless you really have no idea who these people are, you shouldn't have forgotten them.


Are Chinese voters still fearful of PAS?

MCA advertised aggressively on newspapers targeting specifically DAP and PAS.
