This paper addresses the subject of media control in Malaysia under the Barisan Nasional (BN--National Front) regime, the coalition of ethnically-based political parties that has ruled the country since independence. There is no denying that the Barisan National (BN, the ruling coalition headed by UMNO, the United Malays National Organization) won a sweeping victory in Malaysia's March parliamentary elections. Thus in Malaysia the long established dominion of the modernizing Barisan Nasional government faces the prospect of both internal factionalism and external challenge. |
