Salient has been printing News from Malaysia and Singapore for a number of years now in an effort to cater for the large student population from those countries, and to increase the awareness of New Zealand students of the internal situation of Malaysia and Singapore.

Because Malaysian politics are extremely complicated (contrary to what the Pols dept will tell you) Salient will be running more general articles later in the year giving an analysis of the parties and people involved so keep watching — especially if you are a New Zealand student.
