The Election Commission (EC) has yet to confirm the results at press time but Pakatan is claiming a simple parliamentary majority of 112 seats. “It was a total Malay earthquake that has changed the political landscape of the country,” said Merdeka Centre CEO Ibrahim Suffian. The Chinese voters, on the other hand, had been clear from the start that they were still against Barisan, especially Umno, and everyone could see that it was going to be another Chinese tsunami. Malaysia is in uncharted territory should the EC confirm Pakatan’s claims on the elections result. The concern among many Malaysians now is that there should be a peaceful transition of power once the EC is able to confirm the results of GE14.
