Bangladesh goes to the polls
Bangladeshis will go to the polls today in the first election since the military-backed caretaker government declared a state of emergency and cancelled the general election 18 months ago.
Malaysia goes to the polls Saturday after an abbreviated election campaign in which the opposition coalition is seeking to capitalize on surging crime rates, a breakdown in race relations, spiralling inflation and other issues to end the ruling national coalition's unbroken 45-year hold on government.
