The latest polls show a neck-and-neck race to the finish for ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) and opposition pact Pakatan Harapan (PH). Polling begins at 8am on Wednesday (May 9) at 8,253 polling stations which will remain open until 5pm. This newspaper's team of journalists on the ground reported long queues of voters at some of the polling stations. Two pollsters yesterday found that neither side has been able to secure a comfortable lead after an intense 11-day campaign. "I want all Malaysians to wake up to a happy Malaysia," the BN chief said in his hometown seat of Pekan, Pahang.
