STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE (English): ONG TEE KEAT, Former deputy speaker of the lower house of Malaysian parliament
"The present model of electoral democracy is widely touted as the West creation and has ever since been made the one-size-fits-all benchmark for democratic rule worldwide. Unfortunately, this turns out to be a fallacy, the cohesive transplant of electoral democracy, either through military intervention or brutal regime change, as was initiated by Washington in the developing world, has only added more failed states and ensuing humanitarian disasters to the lists. People's wellbeing and aspirations are nowhere to be seen. The so called people-elected governments install individualized states, merely play pawns to the foreign power puppeteers."

Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Beijing.
