The After-Shocks post 16th N9 Election
Alarm bells are sounding after the "shocking" (really?) N9 Election which resulted in the loss of N9 by PH to the BN-PN "blue tsunami".
There are dire predictions that BN-PN can take the Malaysian Parliament by winning seats only in the Peninsula, a total of more than 120 seats can be won, only 122 are needed for a bare simple majority. Seats in Sabah and Sarawak need not be counted.
