Malaysia’s May 9 general elections caused a shock upset, with the Barisan National (BN) losing control of the government for the first time since independence in 1957. This was an historic win for the opposition against the corrupt, authoritarian ruling party. ... For the left, the Malaysian Socialist Party (PSM), which criticised the opposition for running Mahathir, failed to make any electoral breakthrough and lost its only federal seat. PSM central committee member *S Arutchelvan* (known as “Arul”) spoke to *Green Left Weekly*’s* Alex Salmon* about the elections. ttps:// www.greenleft.org.au/content/malaysia-corrupt-rulers-ousted-upset-vote-socialist-suffer-setback -- www.greenleft.org.au * subscribe <https://www.greenleft.org.au/subscribe/details> * donate <https://www.greenleft.org.au/donate/details> _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
