BN won Malaysia 12th general election (PRU12) but with lesser majority, big win for opposition parties
Quick update on what is going on. BN has won 12th Malaysia’s general election (PRU12) with simply being the majority. Out of 222 seats contested, as of now, BN obtained 124 seats with opposition obtained 68 seats. To gain 2/3 majority, BN is required to get 148 seats.
PAS maintains in ruling Kelantan state for the 4th terms in a row thus dashing BN hopes to take over this state from PAS. DAP and PKR will form a coalition state of Penang where they won numbers of seat from BN. Barisan Alternative has majority seats on a few states namely Selangor, Perak and Kedah.
Several big names lost on their contested seats, namely Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon, Dato’ Seri S Samy Vellu and his MIC’s deputy president, Dato’ Dr M Kayveas, Dato’ Seri Sharizat Jalil, Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin. There are more names than that, but I couldn’t remember.
Blogger, Jeff Ooi won parliament seat he contested, but I forgot which one.
I stayed late up till morning, until the broadcast show ended, and I hope to get more details tomorrow. But I believe other prominent political bloggers have more and better updates and analysis than mine.
huhu, I can’t get access to MalaysiaKini.Com. Probably they are flooded with traffics.
Jeff Ooi blog also unaccessible last night
They were being hacked or rerouted by the Gov.
Urghh, I hate those minister you mentioned.
By the way, Jeff Ooi – Jelutong. He was responsible of drawing more than 50k crowds to his ceramah. ITs almost a record!
Just to add, this is by far the best drama of 2008. Im soo happy, I couldnt sleep at all!
Zaki this is good news for me anyway..we need the opposition in the parliaments to balancing of government.
I did not know the Jeff Ooi the blogger contested…That’s good…
I’m now having a slightly different view on what is going on. Let’s see if I could spend sometime to write about it. Outstation to Penang next week, so I need to prepare something..
I always prefer to refer to web 2.0 social media such as blogs and youtube rather than local media.
Well, just to get the bigger, clearer and more complete picture.
Balance restored.
i can’t help but think, it would be good if this kind of results happens to the browser market share.
ie won the majority of internet users, but with lesser majority. big win for firefox and opera
LOL
No joke, it was a hack by the gov!
maybe they think of development only,not charity to malaysian and help malaysian to live better,that is why they win with lesser margin
it did bring a lot of traffic to mt site that day especially with the keyword election result. the funny thing is, i dont hv any post discussing it
