Ethnic Indian minorities show their might in the just concluded general elections by supporting Anwar
In the cities, 10% of the local Malays embraced the opposition. Over 2.5 million ethnic Indians arrived in Malaysia during British rule, the majority of them Tamil Hindus, but also Punjabis and other north Indians.
Ibrahim Suffian, director of programmes at the Merdeka Centre, an independent polling agency, said dissatisfaction was most evident among Indian voters. “There were all kinds of stories of how Indian voters volunteered help to the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (pas) throughout the country,” he said.
“It is clear that what the people want are accountability, transparency and the rule of law,” says Anwar Ibrahim, the long incarcerated de facto leader of the opposition People’s Justice Party (pkr). Ibrahim is prevented from running until next month owing to a politically motivated corruption charge. But both his wife and daughter were victorious. Yet the tipping factor was the general feeling that the government had been lagging behind in curbing prices and bureaucratic high-handedness. The ruthlessness was most noticeable in cases involving temple demolitions and political insensitivity in relation to matters concerning religion and racial origins. Perform or perish was the only choice given to the Malaysian contestants this time. This had never happened before.
