Pakatan Raykat or the People's Coalition is the third attempt by the main opposition parties in Malaysia to form a coalition to challenge the electoral dominance of the Barisan Nasional (BN) or the National Front. This paper argues that in spite of the internal and external challenges faced by Pakatan Rakyat, including ideological differences, the institutional weaknesses of Parti Keadilan Rakyat and the continued attempts by the BN to destabilise the government in Pakatan Rakyat-controlled states, this opposition coalition will probably outlast its predecessors. The opposition's successes in the post-March 2008 by-elections have increased the vote-pooling incentives for these parties to stay together. The formalisation of Pakatan Rakyat as a registered political party mirroring the BN will increase the longevity of the opposition coalition even if it does not enjoy the same kind of electoral success in the next general election
