coalition party, consists of UMNO, MCA and MIC, as a race-based component parties. It established
after the independence day of Malaysia. The rising of The National Front were ruling coalition of Malaya
from 1957 to 1963, and Malaysia from 1963 to 1973. It was then became ‘Barisan Nasional’, The
National Front from ‘Parti Perikatan’, The Alliance Party. The Alliance Party had won the most seats in
the General Election on 1959, after Malaya had gained independence on 31 August 1957, which won
74 of the 104 seats contested. Later on, the alliance party has failed and lost the 14th General Election,

government in the 14th General Election, and the rise of new coalition, and Malaysian view on the
current government in regard to its performance. Secondary sources are utilised in conducting the

the result of the 14th General Election, also other sensitive racial and religious issues had partially
contributed. While the current administration is still struggling to win the heart of majority of the
populace, promises were made to fulfil their manifesto despite numerous challenges confronted. |
