COMMENT | I am going to declare that I called it weeks before the election that it will be a hung Parliament and no coalition will win enough seats to form the government on their own.

At the end of the day, they would either have to form a unity government or a minority government with a confidence and supply agreement (CSA).

But Malaysia isn’t used to that and everyone was still caught up in hoping for a coalition or party that they supported to win. They were also obsessed with who will be each coalition’s prime minister candidate. The country just needed to have a clear winner and an authoritative individual that they could see, touch and feel to lead.

This is old Malaysia. A Malaysia that only knew...
