Today I was quoted in an article in The Malay Mail Online by Ida Lim covering a forum, “GE14: The polls, the money, the stakes”, which was hosted yesterday by the Australian National University (ANU)’s Malaysia Institute and Gerakbudaya. I discuss how the Opposition’s strategy is to focus on the “glory days of the Mahathir-Anwar team” during Malaysia’s financial boom of the 1990s, and on promoting the narrative of past multiracial harmony.
