Election carousel in Asia

The round of elections in different countries in Asia has begun with Ttaiwan going ahead. Everybody actually expected a landslide win of the incumbent president Chen Shui Bian and his deputy prime minister Lu after the assassination attempt on them – however, the margin was razor thin – just 33,000 votes separated them.

Today is Malaysia's turn - everybody expects Prime Minister Badawi to win – and the greatest concern of the ruling coalition is that a low voter turnout would benefit the opposition.

We won’t comment on any of the elections until the picture is clearer, how an incumbent will further stir his or her country ahead, or if a winning opposition implements a different direction.
