Voting is over, and the results are about in. BBC reports; see also the comments.
Never, since 1969, has such result been achieved. I'm glad to say that Malaysians have begun to see the point.
I'm also laughing at what some analysts blame as "flippant" or "comfort" working i.e. voting for the opposition for the sake of it. After all, most of the wins came from urban states/areas. Which is not entirely true, since Perak and Kedah aren't the most developed of areas, and PAS has just taken backward Kelantan by a bigger majority. Pade doh!
One could just as easily say that urban voters are smarter, more informed than orang kampung...
Oh, and BN's 2/3 majority has been broken.
We'll see the results of our actions soon enough...
As for me, all I have to say is...amen.
(Also notable: That pesky Hindraf guy who got detained under ISA for disrupting the peace and making seditious comments, among other things, got elected to a state seat. Oh the irony.)
