The world has, in recent times, witnessed People Power triumph over dictatorships in several nations.
In Malaysia, on 9th July, 2011, thousands descended on to the streets of Kuala Lumpur to demand reforms to our nations electoral process, long fraught with irregularities that render the citizens participation in governance illusory.
Yet, even as the government led by Dato Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak established a Parliamentary Select Committee to look into the matter of reforms to the electoral process, public statements are constantly issued by members of the government, including the Prime Minister himself, that the 13th general election is imminent.
The latest information, from reliable insider sources, is that, upon his return to Malaysia on 6th November, 2011, Najib will, on 11th November, 2011, seek and obtain His Majesty's consent to the dissolution of Parliament whereafter, the Election Commission will fix 1st December, 2011 as the date for nomination of candidates and 10th December, 2011 as polling day.
