Election night - 09 May 2018

Malaysian time 1700 hr:

Seems this time there's less complaints of suspicious Bangla around, though I viewed a videoclip that showed altercation between very aggressive locals and some alleged Bangla. Nothing like a bit of koon t'au boe to add drama to the day, wakakaka.

I am not sure how the ending went, but last I saw of the videoclip, some more elderly blokes were mollifying those alleged to be Bangla and guiding them away.

Additional sad drama was a couple of elderly citizens passing away while in the queue. Condolences.

As for me, I had a relaxing day watching Chinese and Korean TV dramas, wakakaka.

Song Hye Kyu 

17:45 hr:

Earlier at Butterworth, an elderly man was denied entry to his polling station when he turned up in shorts.

This was in spite of the EC Boss Mohd Hashim Abdullah saying his EC won't as long as the voter adhered to the law.

Under Section 26 (1) (g) of the Election Offences Act 1954, voters are only prohibited from wearing any type of clothing that displays names of candidates, political party symbols or logos at the polling stations on election day.

Maybe bloody Lil' Napoleon can be hauled up to explain for his interpretation of 'fake laws'. He was heard to say "before this it was allowed, but now, what to do?" .

He is a fCking liar.

Another voter in my home village discovered to his shock 'someone' had voted in his name. Though he showed the EC his untainted finger, the SRJK(C) Kong Min polling station officials refused him entry to vote, which has been sheer bureaucratic bullshit. He lodged a police report.

1800 hrs: 

From FMT - Selangor reported 77.97% turnout when polling closed at 5pm while Perlis had 84%, Pahang, 77.64% and Kelantan 74.1%

For such an important GE, it's surprising Selangor has such a turnout. I'd expect it to be in the mid-80 percentile. Mahjong kah?

The constituency I am quite interested in is Teluk Intan between Mah Siew Kiong and Nga Kor Ming, to see whether the voters there like a bloke like coarse-mouth Nga, wakakaka.

2015 hr:

In Ipoh Timor, Wong Kah Woh from PKR DAP (Wong is DAP DAPSY Chief and not from PKR) defeats MCA's Kathleen Wong - Wong was Tebring Tinggi's ADUN who vacated his seat for Dr Aziz Bari.

Looks like Nurul has been wise to scoot off to PP. Raja Nong Chik is leading in Lembah Pantai - he leads with 14,997 undi, Fahmi Fadzil (PKR) 13,032 and Fauzi Abu Bakar (PAS) 2,623.

Thus far, BN 21, PH 16, PAS 1, Others 2

But Ayer Itam doesn't look encouraging for Liew Chin Tong,. The count thus far:

BN - Wee Ka Siong - 5,463
PH - Liew Chin Tong - 5,025
PAS - Mardi Marwan - 1,172

Blast, it seems Minister Ismail Sabri holds on to Bera.

In Sungai Siput, PKR's Kesavan Subramaniam has won the Sungai Siput parliamentary seat. He defeated PSM’s Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj in the contest. Sorry to see a good man down.

2140 hr:


PAS' Shaharizukirnain Abd Kadir wins Setiu.

Police have denied the pictures circulating on social media of the army being deployed in Putrajaya


To be confirmed - Nga Kor Ming wins Teluk Intan. 

I suppose Mah was living a political life on borrowed time as he only won against Dyana Sofya by 238 votes in the TI by-election, and that with a DAP parachuted Malay female candidate who was abused by the 'dirty tricks' department.

A fake bikini photograph of DAP candidate Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud, which first appeared on the Internet, re-emerged in a number of Malay villages a week into the Teluk Intan by-election campaign.

Netizens pointed out that the photo, which was earlier posted in pro-BN blogs, is really that of Filipino actress Pauleen Luna.

PKR's Fahmi Fadzil wins in Lembah Pantai,. Too bad, Raja Nong Chik, the residents there obviously don't appreciate your hard efforts.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng won both his Air Putih state seat and Bagan parliamentary seat, while Penang DAP chief Chow Kon Yeow retained his Padang Kota state seat and won the Tanjong parliamentary seat.

As for the heavily fought Perai state seat, P Ramasamy appears to have retained the seat for a second term, while the Tanjung Bungah seat eyed by Penang BN chief Teng Chang Yeow has been won by DAP’s Zairil Khir Johari.

2200 hr:

I think we need to keep a one-minute silence for the MCA. It lost

(i) Bentong - previous seat of MCA president Liow Tiong Lai
(ii) Labis - previous seat of Chua what-his-name (son fo CSL)
(iii) Tanjong Malim is a goner, only to be confirmed

If Wee loses his Ayer Hitam seat to Liew Chin Tong, then we have (borrowing looes74's song Aloha Oe)  to say Farewell to the MCA:

To be confirmed - BN's Ahmad Zahid Hamidi wins Bagan Datuk.

Nazri retains Padang Rengas.

BN’s Ugak Anak Kumbang also won the Hulu Rajang.

Independent candidate Jugah Anak Muyang wins Lubok Antu.

The 3 biggies, Mahathir, Najib, Zahid have all won whilst Wan Azizah, Mat Sabu and Lim Guan Eng have too.

I have to admit I wonder by 1200 hr whether Najib will have his 112 seats?


2230 hr:

BN's Rubiah Wang wins Kota Samarahan.
Pakatan has already won control of Penang, Looks like it might have also gained control of Negeri Sembilan and likely Perak.

To be confirmed - BN's Mustapa Mohamed wins Jeli.

Shahrir Samad loses Johor Bahru.

FRU called in at Ayer Hitam.

The FRU have been called in after PH supporters vent their frustration with the results so far in Ayer Hitam.

The FRU is monitoring the situation in front of the counting centre at Sekolah Menengah Datuk Seth.

Though it's still early days, PH supporters must have dreaded Dr Wee Ka Siong leading Liew Chin Tong thus far.

BN's Lukanisman Awang Sauni wins Sibuti

Lim Lip Eng wins Kepong.

BN's Tiong King Sing wins Bintulu.

To be confirmed - Moody wins Pagoh.

From MM Online (extracts):

Newly-crowned Batu parliamentarian P. Prabakaran is keeping mum as to whether he will join Pakatan Harapan or remain an independent MP.

He said he has discussed his options with his advisors including his father, who is his chief advisor.

“Soon, I will let you know (of his decision),” Prabakaran told the Malay Mail. He politely declined to speak any further on the matter when asked.
Wakakaka.

To be confirmed - PAS' Takiyuddin Hassan wins Kota Bharu.

To be confirmed - Reports say Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has lost in Rembau. Not that I am fond of him, but it'll be a great loss. Like Saifuddin Abdullah losing in 2013, the defeat of KJ will be a loss to the nation.

To be confirmed - BN candidate Wilfred Madius Tangau wins Tuaran.

Hannah Yeoh wins Segambut.

To be confirmed - PH's Noor Amin Ahmad has won Kangar.

cakap banyak wakakaka 

Ooops - Error in earlier report:

PKR wins Kota Anggerik, not PAS
10.30PM - Official results are in, and PKR's Najwan Halimi has won the Kota Anggerik state seat in Selangor with a 2,743-vote majority.

RTM had previously erroneously reported that PAS had won the three-cornered fight earlier in the nigh

Meanwhile in Permatang Pauh, Nurul is leading with 9,741 votes, while BN's Mohd Zaidi Mohd has 4,941 and PAS' Afnan Hamimi Azamudden 3,380 votes.

Thus far:

BN 53 - PH 51 - PAS 4 - Others 2

States-wise, PH has definitely won Penang and might also have won Perak, Negeri Sembilan and likely to win Kedah.

Sweetie Teresa Kok wins Seputeh (or whatever it's now called?).

Early report - PAS leading in 15 state seats in Kelantan.

Wakakaka, my favourite ex-UMNO-now-PKR man, Saifuddin Abdullah, who lost Temerloh in 2013, has made a comeback by winning the Indera Mahkota parliament seat in Pahang, smashing the man who hates Valentine's Day.

a decent politician 

Wong Shu Qi (DAP) retains her Kluang parliamentary seat with a higher majority of 20,384.

BN's Halimah Sadique wins Kota Tinggi.

BN Jamil Khir Baharom wins 8,459

Just 1 fCk vote difference thus there'll be recounts after recounts.
PAS Sabri Azit won a fairly sizeable 7,155 votes.



Thus far:

BN 53 - PH 60 - PAS 4 - Others 2

where PH now leads. I have to accept the Mahathir factor is working for PH.


2400 hr:


PH's Hasan Baharom wins Tampin.

Just a trivia on Kepong, Lim Lip Eng won 56,516 votes while his opponent from Gerakan, Ong Siang Liang obtained 4,888 votes.

Shouldn't there be a law - legitimate, moral or kesian-ness - or something against such bias, wakakaka. I wonder whether poor Ong will lose his deposit?

I reckon so as a candidate loses his deposit of RM10,000 (federal seat) if he couldn't win one-eighth of the votes cast. Since the total votes cast was 56,516 + 4888 = 61404 and one-eighth is 7675, and poor Ong obtained less than that, he loses the 10 grand.

never mind, 4888 is 'ong' so try 4-Ekor to recover your 10 grand

 wakakaka 

But there's always a silver lining in Ong's misfortune - he has at least 4,887 supporters.
DAP Tan Kok Wai wins Cheras.

DAP Sivakumar wins Batu Gajah.

DAP Kasthuri Patton wins Batu Kawan.

Nurul wins Permatang Pauh.

Green tsunami – PAS captures Terengganu, retains Kelantan - don't play play, wakakaka.

In total disregard for the exhortations of MCA and Gerakan, the people of Penang voted for Pakatan to retain rule of the State for the third term by winning 39 out of 40 state seats, effectively wiping out BN presence in the state.

PAS won the Penaga state seat in a straight fight with BN ONLY because PH’s candidate was disqualified on Nomination Day.

BN only managed to retain the Kepala Batas parliamentary seat (AAB's old seat) but lost all of its remaining state and parliamentary seats.

Thus far:

BN 63 - PH 95 - PAS 11 - Others 2

Goodnight or good morning.
