Malaysia held the ninth Sarawak state election on May 20, 2006. It has invited various issues such as native customary rights land development, fuel hike and Chief Minister successor issue. Barisan Nasional won 62 of the 71 seats. The result was seen as a shock because BN failed to maintain the big mandate given from the previous election which was 60 of the 62 seats contested. The opposition meanwhile won 9 seats, reflecting new voting attitudes among the voters. This article examines the election issues and their performance in the election. This article also discusses the factors that influenced the voting patterns and the implications in the future. It is drawn from a 14 days fieldwork since nomination day, throughout election campaign period and polling day in May 2006.

The article regarding precedents in multi-party rule in Manitoba contained four errors that require a note of correction. By the late 1920s, Premier John Bracken's party was operating under the "Progressive" label, and no longer as the United Farmers of Manitoba. Furthermore, the agreement between the Liberals and the Progressives was formalized in February 1932, not 1931. Thirdly, following this agreement, the party operated as the Liberal-Progressive party. It became the Liberal party in 1961. With regard to the 1940 all-party coalition, the CCF dropped out of the coalition in December 1942 -- not 1943 -- when its leader, S.J. Farmer, resigned from cabinet. People don't vote for a party; they are voting for the best MP to represent their riding in Ottawa. That MP brings forward their ...

Adopting a governance perspective, this study analyzes the merger between closely-held Donohue Inc. and widely-held Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. Findings suggest that the absence of a controlling shareholder and weak board governance at Abitibi might explain both (a) its executives' interests in the transaction and (b) its CEO's compensation increase despite underperformance. Second, an intergeneration shift of control at Quebecor (Donohue's parent company) led to a strategic reorientation that (a) transformed Donohue into a target and (b) insured that Donohue's executives had incentives to pursue a deal. Finally, Donohue's noncontrolling shareholders benefited from the transaction while Abitibi shareholders experienced wealth reduction. The merger's aftermath provides some counter evidenc...

Although the two aforementioned dimensions have been recovered widely in previous research, the relations between these two dimensions have tended to vary across samples, both within and between cultures (e.g., [Duckitt], 2001; [Duriez] et al., 2005). In some samples, the two dimensions are nearly independent, but in other samples the relations are much stronger. In an attempt to understand these variations, Duckitt and colleagues (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt et al., 2002) and Duriez et al. (2005) have hypothesised that the strength of the relation between the two dimensions depends on the national political context and on the characteristics of the respondents. With regard to between-culture differences, Duckitt and colleagues suggested that the relations between the two dimensions are stro...
