This Reformasi Diary chronicles the sweeping
political and social events that rocked Malaysia following the sacking of former Deputy
Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim in September 1998. Consisting of a selection of my writings over the Internet in the period following the sacking, it is my eyewitness account of a wide variety of events - the twists and turns of the Anwar trial, the street demonstrations that were brutally put down, the euphoric political rallies by tens of thousands of Reformasi supporters all across the country, the thoughts and feelings of ordinary Malaysians caught in the wave of Reformasi. From political analysis and straight journalistic reporting to biting satire and classical literary themes, this diary tries to capture the spirit, colour, excitement and hopes of people demanding change and reforms as their country approaches the threshold of a new millenium. If you have any comments or views you would like to share with me, or would like to be confidentially blank-copied on my mailing list of the most recent articles, feel free to write to: sabri_zain@yahoo.co.uk
