Malaysia's PAS Warns Of Tension Ahead Of Polls

KUALA TERENGGANU – Reuters/AFP: MALAYSIA's Islamic opposition party has warned its supporters could 'run amok' if the election authorities block its candidates from standing in next month's general election.

'We anticipate this election will not be free and fair,' party leader Syed Azman Syed Ahmad told the 5,000-strong rally in Kuala Terengganu, the northeastern city that saw a violent anti-government protest last September. - Straits Times
