For example, on 4 August 1999 the key witness in Anwar's sodomy trial testified that police had ordered him to amend the date of his alleged sexual encounter with Anwar. Anwar's former driver Azizan stated under cross examination that Assistant Police Commissioner Musa Hassan had told him to change the date from May 1992 to May 1993 because the apartment that the incident was alleged to have taken place was not even built in mid 1992! (source: Agence France-Presse (AFP), reported on GERAK-NET, 4 August 1999).

The "Battle Royal": The UMNO elections of 1987
-
M. Ayoob and N. Chee Yuen, Institute of Southeast Asian Affairs, Singapore
-
Following an elite struggle between Mahathir and his former minister of trade and industry, Razaleigh in 1987, 11 members of UMNO resigned from the party and challenged the result of the 1987 party elections in which Mahathir had narrowly defeated Razaleigh. The judiciary found that UMNO was an unlawful society because 30 of its branches had not been registered in 1987. Mahathir quickly formed UMNO Baru (new UMNO) to prevent his rivals using the party name but again they challenged this action in the courts. Mahathir finally countered by suspending the country's top judge the Lord President. For more details of the Mahathir-Razaleigh struggle, see A. B. Shamsul, 'The "Battle Royal": The UMNO Elections of 1987', in M. Ayoob and N. Chee Yuen, Southeast Asian Affairs 1988, Institute of Southeast Asian Affairs, Singapore, 1988).

In 1983 a constitutional crisis ensued in Malaysia over Mahathir's attempt to remove the monarch's right to withhold assent from parliamentary bills. Although a compromise deal allowed the monarch 30 days in which to return a bill with comments the monarch's blocking power was removed. For more details see B. T. Koo, Paradoxes of Mahathirism: An Intellectual Biography of Mahathir Mohamad, Oxford University Press, Singapore, 1995, pp 202-209.

For example, in 1993, despite appeals by Mahathir that the post of deputy president of the UMNO should not be contested, Anwar Ibrahim, then Finance Minister and Vice President of UMNO, successfully ousted the incumbent, Ghafar Baba. However, concerned by the prospect that a similar challenge might occur for the Presidency in 1996, Mahathir pushed through a series of internal party reforms that effectively ensured that an incumbent President could not be challenged. For more details see Case, 1997a, op cit, Ref 9, pp 399-401.

This was regarded as a significant move since Anwar had replaced Daim as finance minister in 1991. Daim is regarded as one of the most powerful and wealthiest men in Malaysia and a favourite target for those who accuse the Prime Minister of fostering cronyism (for further details see E. T. Gomez and K. S. Jomo, Malaysia's Political Economy: Politics, Patronage and Profits, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1997, pp 54-55).

PAS has duly enlarged the 'For Members Only' banner under the title header, but openly goads the government by distributing the newspapers to street stalls where it can be openly purchased. PAS leaders believe that the growing support for the party, especially among the Malay rural and urban poor will discourage the government from banning the publication outright for fear of the backlash that might be generated.

Ironically the ease by which thousands of pro-Anwar supporters were able to access the Internet can partly be attributed to the promotion by Mahathir himself of the so-called Multimedia Super Corridor project. The project aims to create a high-tech digital network linking businesses, government, schools, and universities around the capital and its environs. Prompted by the project and the media promotion of it, the number of so-called Internet cafés that have sprung up in central Kuala Lumpur is remarkable for a developing country.

The only major piece of work on this subject to date is Gary Rodan's work on Singapore. While welcome, Rodan's article presents an overly pessimistic account that suggests that political control is much more of a possibility than has yet to be demonstrated. For example see J. M. Guehenno, The End of the Nation State, University of Minnesota Press, Victoria Elliott, 1995.

In 1990 a similar opposition alliance led by the breakaway Malay party Semangat '46 won 35 seats in parliament although the overall number of opposition seats was higher than in 1999 because the Sabah based PBS has defected from the ruling coalition and proceeded to win the 14 seats it contested (see H.

All of those interviewed between May and June 1999, whether Western or Malaysian, agreed that economic growth had resulted in the growth of an increasingly active middle class in Malaysia. While views differed about the overall impact that this had had upon Malaysian politics all agreed that it created increased demands for reform and transparency.
