Think
KUALA LUMPUR - ON THE night of March 8, as news of seats falling like ninepins to the opposition trickled in, a grim Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi and his deputy upped and left the room.
Now that the March 8 Malaysian general election is over, all eyes are on whether the charismatic de facto leader of Parti Keadilan Rakyat - and presumptive opposition leader - will re-enter politics by way of a by-election.
FIREWORKS burst into the night sky in Kuala Lumpur as I was rushing out a report on the Malaysian elections.

SEX, power and downfall was an old story even when Shakespeare was masterfully weaving his plots. Just think what he would have made of modern America, where that familiar tale capsizes political careers with startling regularity. Bill Clinton may have got away with it, just. Others - senators, governors, congressmen - have not been so lucky.
