The ruling National Front (NF) is expected to win the 10th general elections in Malaysia, but it seems nothing is beneath its leaders in their attempt to guarantee that victory this Monday. In what observers call "desperate" attempts to win the majority of Malay votes and secure the much needed two-thirds majority, the NF has played hardball. Sacked and jailed Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had warned his wife and opposition members that the NF was ready for a very dirty campaign, the dirtiest ever in Malaysian history.
