Article Abstract:
The United Malays National Organization is holding divisional elections in March 1998 and 90 of the 165 posts are being contested. Malaysian people are eager for change but this is unlikely to result in a battle between Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim because they realise that Malaya is in economic crisis and a political battle would be very harmful. Mohamad is unlikely to relinquish power willingly and Anwar realises that Mohamad's supporters would criticize a direct challenge against him.
