Notes

"March 8 holds great potential for eclipsing May 13 and erasing the fears linked for so long to that spectral night in the short but eventful history of Malaysia. All three authors of this book were monitoring Malaysia's 12th General Elections in different parts of Malaysia during the thirteen days of campaigning. Each chapter is a study of what they observed during those two weeks, analysed against a background of data gathered from other sources. Together, the book seeks to capture vital aspects of that momentous occasion."--Introduction.
