Defining Democracy in Malaysia

The following is a blog entry by Lim Kit Siang, a prominent leader of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in Malaysia. He has served on and off in the Parliament since 1969. He has also been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) on a number of occasions. In this particular post, he offers a thoughtful comment on the challenging process of democratization. Not surprisingly, he is openly critical of the narrow way in which the Malaysian government has interpreted democracy and Malaysia's democratic transition.
