MAY 19 — The 13th Malaysian general election will be held some time between now and April 2013.
These elections have the potential to be the most free and fair elections held in the country for several decades.
For the coming elections to live up to this potential, we call on the government and other major players and stakeholders to scrupulously observe the following priority concerns which we see as key to ensuring an outcome that can have greater legitimacy among Malaysians and outside observers:
We must not let foreigners rule our states
By Edward Linggu
Among popular debate topics is the suggestion that only Peninsular Malaysia-based political parties can be national parties and anything from Sabah and Sarawak must be local.

Reject BN wrongdoings, says MCA veteran
Malacca MCA Wanita chief Kian Sit Har, who has earned the scorn of party president Dr Chua Soi Lek for attending the Bersih 3.0 rally in Malacca on April 28, insists that the party must stand up against any BN wrongdoing.
"Nowadays, we cannot be neutral. We have to choose between right and wrong.
