Will the pendulum swing back?

DAP’s massive wins in Chinese seats in Sarawak suggest that the Chinese pendulum has swung all the way to the other side. Will the pendulum defy gravity and stay there or will it now begin to swing back?

WHEN the drizzle persisted as dusk fell in Kuching, some thought it would dampen the grand finale ceramah that DAP was staging on the eve of the Sarawak election. But the crowds came in spite of the weather, little dots of heads stretching as far as the eye could see. Many were clad in red, the theme colour of the DAP’s campaign.
