But then came March 8, 2008 The surprising results of the General Election on that special day have started eclipsing the fears linked for so long to that spectral night forty years ago. All the three researchers from ISEAS who each authored separate chapters for this book were in different parts of Malaysia monitoring its 12th General Election during the thirteen days of campaigning. Their analyses provide new insights into the phenomenon that Malaysians now simply refer to as "March 8". Ooi Kee Beng scrutinizes in detail the electoral campaign in the state of Penang, Johan Saravanamuttu studies the case of Kelantan state and the elections in general, while Lee Hock Guan examines changes in the voting pattern in the Klang Valley. 606 $aElections$zMalaysia$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aMalaysia$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aElections$xHistory 676 $a324.9595054 700 $aOoi$b Kee Beng$01121203 702 $aSaravanamuttu$b J$g(Jayaratnam), 702 $aLee$b Hock Guan 712 02$aInstitute of Southeast Asian Studies 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345123603321 996 $aMarch 8$92787646 997 $aUNINA
