In a country where politics and power are organised along racial and religious lines, minority ethnic Indians and Chinese, who together make up about a third of the population, have been turning up in droves to night-time opposition rallies in the past two weeks of campaigning.

The two communities have shown clear signs of discontent with the coalition, which is dominated by the United Malays National Organisation - the biggest ethic Malay party - and the BN concedes that a protest vote by Chinese and Indians could cost them some seats.
