Malaysia elections: Outcome shows that a Malay tsunami swept all before it
It now seems there was a Malay tsunami after all. Malaysia's most keenly-fought general election has seen opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan (PH) pulling significantly ahead of Barisan Nasional (BN), in spite of the odds against it.
PH also added several states to the two it currently governs, Penang and Selangor, putting a majority of the country's 13 states in opposition hands for the first time.
This outcome appears to be why BN leaders and officials displayed a certain anxiety in the months leading up to the election.
