Malaysia Election Result

Here is the election result in Malaysia, 8 March 2008 :

The Barisan Nasional (BN) has lost 2/3 majority in parliament. It recieved less votes; 137 out of 222 seats, less than 62 per cent.

Despite that, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi says that he will not resign. Instaed, he will try to strengthen UMNO again. Today he has sworn as PM.

It is interesting that, this is the worst election result for UMNO since Malaysia's independence in 1957. It shows that Malaysians want something new for the country.

The result shows that the people from periphery are feeling upset with UMNO, which I think its priority is on central area of the peninsular.

Maybe this is a turn of Malaysia politics. And the decline of UMNO as the dominate party.

What about the minorities?
