Malaysia Decides 2008 - The Verdict

Malaysian went to poll on 8 Mac 2008.

By the dawn of 9 Mac 2008, it was clear that 4 states fell to the 'new government', a coalition of PAS, PKR & DAP ( Barisan Rakyat ) while Kelantan maintained under PAS. DAP took control of Penang in a clean sweep to form a new government with 2/3 majority.

At the Federal level, BN government was denied 2/3 majority in Parliament. Interestingly, Wilayah Persekutuan technically under the control of the Barisan Rakyat with only 1 seat won by Barisan Nasional (BN) in Setiawangsa Parliamentary seat. Amazing...

I would think the 12th General Election was the most interesting election in Malaysia's history. The landscape of Malaysian politic has now changed. I hope for the better.

The full result is as follows:
