Given the humiliating defeat of Chinese parties in BN, there is a strong likelihood that the new Cabinet will be devoid of Chinese representatives.

Malaysia's premier said in comments published Wednesday that Chinese voters who deserted him in Sunday's election had been deceived by "racial sentiments" stirred up by the opposition.

Both the MCA and Gerakan have decided not to accept any Cabinet posts. It seems righteous and sorrowful, but just like the suicide of Xiang Yu, a prominent military leader and political figure in the late Qin Dynasty, it is always disputable whether it is an act of a hero, or a coward.

A healthy competition between the two coalition would be a blessing for the country and its people.

It was so difficult for me to get out of my bed this morning although I was already wide-awake, quite early in fact in spite of the late night vigil for the final outcome of GE13. I am still trying to absorb the shocking outcome not only of Limbang parliamentary seat but all the rural seats where PKR stood in Sarawak except in Miri, an urban seat, where Dr. Michael Teo stood.

The dust has settled on the GE13 outcome in the midst of millions of question marks. A much bigger question mark that comes with it, is whether a "Chinese tsunami" as claimed by the PM has actually taken form in view of the fact that majority of Chinese voters have dumped Barisan Nasional in GE13.

Independent Malaysian polls watchdogs on Wednesday disputed the government's insistence that weekend elections were free and fair, citing "serious flaws" in the electoral system.

Barisan Nasional (BN) supporters should not be dismayed with results of the 13th general election (GE13) as the important thing is the party can form the government.

Malaysia's opposition appeared headed for a clash with authorities Wednesday, saying it would defy a police threat to stop a protest rally by its leader Anwar Ibrahim over disputed election results.

Malaysian police have declared illegal a rally planned for Wednesday night by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to protest against election results that he says were "stolen" through massive fraud.
