IF the voices of the 9.67 million eligible voters across the six states who went out to cast their ballots yesterday (Aug 12) were to be summed up, then whether the truth hurts or otherwise, the real winner by virtues of numbers is none other than the opposition Perikatan Nasional (PN).

Here are 10 realities picked up from outcome of yesterday’s (Aug12) state elections in Selangor, Penang, Negri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu:

  1. Perikatan Nasional (PN) won big in Terengganu, Kedah and Kelantan as well as successfully making ds into Selangor, Penang and Ngeri Sembilan. PN won a staggering 146 seats compared to 99 for Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional’s (PH-BN). Given that it contested in all 245 state seats, PN achieved a praiseworthy 60% success rate.

PETALING JAYA: PKR MP Wong Chen has told the government the results of yesterday’s state elections are “a wake-up call” for it to reform.

While Pakatan Harapan retained power in Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, where it will form the new state governments with Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional made strong inroads in all three states, as well as achieve landslide victories in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.

“While the overall result is 3-3, these state elections have been a bruising fight for PH-BN,” the Subang MP said on Twitter (X).
“These state elections are a wake-up call for the government to reform.

“As such, going forward, the prime minister needs to organise the coalition parties on what fundamental reforms are agreeable by all, and then vigorously set an agenda to deliver them.”

He said this includes passing the Parliamentary Services Act and the Political Financing Act as soon as possible.
