However noble Google's sentiment may be, in business terms it was "effectively a suicide note" when it came to the search business, as one rival Internet executive put it.

The differences are shattering unity in the coalition. Prime Minister Najib, who still enjoys majority Malay support, is on a major charm offensive to steal away the minority Chinese and Indian voters - who together are 35% of the electorate of 13.7 million voters - who supported Anwar in 2008. "Najib is winning the hearts and minds of the people with his campaign," says Pandyan, referring to the "We Are One Malaysia" campaign, which is based...
