The United Malays National Organization (UMNO) has ruled the ethnically and religiously diverse constitutional monarchy of Malaysia since independence in 1957. Dissatisfaction with pro-Malay affirmative-action programs and corruption generated important opposition gains in the March 2008 elections. In the 2013 elections, the UMNO-led coalition retained power but failed for the first time to win more than 50 percent of the popular vote. The government maintains investments in such key sectors as banking, media, automobiles, and airlines. In 2014, a Malaysia Airlines plane was lost in the Indian Ocean, and another was shot down in Ukraine. Malaysia is a leading exporter of electronics and information technology products; other industries include agricultural products and automobiles.
