Shouldn't the translation for Barisan Nasional be National Lineup rather than National Front -- 60.50.91.180 ( talk) 13:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
The term 'National Front' is never used in Malaysia. As a British citizen (and wikipedian since 2002) who mainly communicates in English, and who has lived in Malaysia for 5+ years, the term confused me when I read it on Wikipedia. In both Malay and English literature, it's always referred to as 'BN' or Barisan Nasional. For example, see today's British Language newspaper, the New Straits Times: http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/NajibcongratulatesSarawakBN/election/Sarawak/article?section=Topnews So, should the article be named with a term unrecognisable to almost everybody? Or renamed as Barisan Nasional? WillSmith (London) ( talk) 13:41, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Can we get more info on the nature of this party...? Is it right/ left/ center? Who controls it? Is it heavy with religious or economic interests?

I'm moving this back to Barisan Nasional, the proper name of the party, that's used in Malay and English. The literal translation of the name is national front, though. -- sabre23t 09:59, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
This artical is not NPOV and not encylopedic enough. It seem absurd to talk about an incident about "loyalty issue in a political party" in an encyclopedia entry. What i suggest is,

Image:Bn logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
In the Organisation section, there need a deletion of the quote that sound like this:
BARISAN NASIONAL IS A USELESS PARTI OF MALAYSIA, THEY ONLY KNOW HOW TO TAKE MALAYSIAS PEOPLE MONEY !
To the writer (s) of this statement, please take back your statement because the site you are writing or improving in are only for encyclopedic contents and with no political motive just like what have you wrote.
- On 9:53 P.M, 1st December 2008, the statement was deleted by the author of this warning statement. Please refer to history section for further information. Thank You.
That was hilarious. Unsourced, removed. Feel free to get a reliable citation and reinsert.

Someone changed the ideologies to "Kleptocracy, Corruption, and Cronyism". This is obviously not supposed to be this way, but I don't know what to restore it to. If someone could quickly restore the ideologies to their correct state that would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArserWI ( talk • contribs) 14:20, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
The section on contested seats is completely unnecessary and unsourced. With no source it is unreliable. Even with source, it is superfluous to the article, it is just random indiscriminate dump of information and therefore unencyclopedic. It is moreover ugly with the big blocks of colours and clogs up the article. You don't see it in any other articles on political parties in other countries. It should be deleted.
