MALAYSIA ELECTION RESULTS 2008

The Barisan Nasional will form the next Government as it has won more than half the parliamentary seats

However, the coalition suffered some of the greatest defeats in its history

The Barisan lost Kedah, Penang, Perak & Selangor. And PAS strenghtened its grip on Kelantan

Here are some note-worthy results

1. The late Indian leader Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, lost his seat

Apart from the popular grief of the constant tol price increases, the Indians apparently had other issues with their leader

He's down....

2. Popular blogger Jeff Ooi blogged himself

and rocked himself into parliament with the Jelutong seat

Oi Jeff, i never knew you could rock?!?! haha

3. Guan Eng from DAP is the new CM of Penang, replacing Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon

Man, im proud that Malaysians are finally up for a change

The Opposition won 11 of Penang’s 13 parliamentary seats and 29 of 40 state seats.

DAP emerged the biggest victor, with seven parliamentary seats and 19 state seats while PKR won four parliamentary and nine state seats. PAS won one state seat.

The results came as a shock not just to the Barisan Nasional but also the Opposition as Penangites had thrown 90% support behind Barisan in the 2004 polls. The last time Penang fell to the Opposition was in 1969.
