ON SATURDAY, just as Malaysians were going to the polls, this newspaper published an analysis giving various scenarios regarding the outcome and what they would mean for the country.

Editorial
THE rebuke Malaysian voters delivered to the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) in Saturday's elections was stunning, a warning that they would not be taken for granted any longer. From non-Malay voters this was an unequivocal demand that the long-ruling coalition re-evaluate its assumed multi-racial compact so as to give the Chinese and the Indians their just due in jobs and education.
