EMERGING TREND: Young Malaysians are voting across racial lines and this is a sign of unity, National Unity and Integration Department director-general Datuk Azman Amin Hassan tells Tan Choe Choe

In Malaysia, our politics is still race based, so there's still this demarcation by race when it comes to the election. But there's been a shift -- not just the Chinese shift to DAP. I've talked to the youths and the Malay Pas boys told me that they voted for DAP. They told me it's because they are Pakatan -- that there's an understanding between Pas and DAP.
