Malays as a 'dominant majority'
It has been more than 100 days since the political tsunami of March 8. Other than the pervasive doubt as to whether Pakatan Rakyat could deliver results in states under its administration, the single most important issue uppermost in the minds of many voters is perhaps whether or not the Malay electorate has truly changed.
Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, no stranger to racist politics, has been quick to rub salt into the wound of his anointed successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi by accusing the latter of causing the deep divisions within the Malay community. But Mahathir's sarcasm is also reflective of the radically transformed political equation, while the bogey of May 13 is now exorcised.
