It is an expected result for this GE14 for us that Tun M will win..we Malaysian knows.. foreign news do not follow the real story or real source well enough.
Suz N agreed
agreed . in fact many foreign news like
CNN missed the opportunity to cover this historic win from day 1 .
Agreed
Not really. Considering the “horrible” controversies around BN, it should have been a landslide win. But, BN still hav about 35% of the seats and PAS itself has 10%. PH just passed simple majority to gain control. It was really right on the wire.
malaysian choose tun m not the others…
christina k not really, if they are then it is very saddening to know people need Tun to snap out of it.
When he said that he will be the 7th PM for only 1-2 years.
Wonder why Malaysians out there can be dense then? Will they let BN win, if Tun didnt decide to venture into politics again?
Im 21 but I couldnt vote, but Im sure as heck will vote for the opposition, not because of Tun.
Not my Name i agree with u. its a very strategic plan.
Not my Name you are still young kid… u are definitely grew up in the cities, in most rurals area, the populations are still need subsidies and help from the gov, that prev gov keep giving them, examples in sarawak some areas are only accessible by flight, food and goods can only be transport by flight, and those flight fully subsidised and sponsored by gov.. for us who living in the cities we can get a kitkat easily by going to the nearest 7e, for them if you want a kitkat u need to wait a shipment from gov by flight.. what Tun M did was genius, he campaign at these rural areas by saying that saying DS Najib was living like king while they remain poor in this rural areas and give assurance that thay will have their life taken care off, where old pakatan harapan before Tun M dint do. Rural population vote are 4 times more powerfull than those who live in the cities, thats how BN won on GE13.. so believed me, PH won because of Tun M..

And you act like Tun is the only guy who have ever reach out to rural areas. Mat Sabu been doing that since he was in PAS. And he is not the only one.
Nah, I grew up in a family of opposition. I know how much my dad struggled to win this. We hated Tun for so long. Im still not fond of him, but hating is too personal now Najib has turning Malaysia as the joke for the past 10 years.
Like I said, isnt it sad to be needing Tun to wake up? Opposition been winning votes by more than 50% in GE13. Tun only give it a little push.
Zarith Azmir DSAI has been pointing out about 1MDB and Najib’s submarine many years ago.
You guys are really expecting him to want to work his ass off at his age? He told everyone from the start he would be the PM for only 1-2 years, cause he deserves a real ‘pension’. His work should be congrulated, but to say he is the reason PH win, nah.
92 years old and still looks young… Hope to get justice for Indians as well….
what kind of justice u need? Are you malaysian?
Kartini Illias yes i am…y u want to gv me justice ar? Mind your own bussines
I’m sure they will be something plan for u all 👍
Just choose the smart leader..all of us will be safe
Yes I wanted to fight for our cause..since we fought for our freedom as Malaysians. It should be equal for all Malaysian but since you kindly told me to mind my own business I will stay silent.My apologies for annoying you
Everybody are free to comment but just 1 point: Malaysia is an oil producer and full of natural resources. Malaysia is a rich country. So please shut the hell up about our financial problems.
Shocking! …a large news organization like this…interviewing a Caucasian expert about Msian affairs. Shd sack the entire research dept!
I prefer anwar ibrahim
Tun M cuma lead dlm 1-2 tahun saja…lps tu baghu dia bg kt anwar.sabaq dulu bg dia perbetui blk keadaan.semua nih berkat doa dr arwah Ustaz Fadzil Noor dulu supaya Tun M umoq panjang dan dapat tgk apa kerosakan yang dia buat dulu.
Othman Ahmad but Tun M always legend !
encik jasmie teknisen cabuk totally agree with u, just look at the five counsel of elders appointed by Tun M to help advice on our economy, each of them is superman la… and i dont think current anwar is able invite them to step in
Othman Ahmad Anwar is not as smart as Tun
Prefer Tun M. Anwar just a person who is good at rhetoric or talking in such a way to glorify himself. Tun M never did that. He talked to let people understand his points, and what he wants to do or be done according to his best understanding of any issues. Tun M never tried to satisfy people in his talking but he knows what need to be done, and what kind of advisers needed. Anwar prefers to make people think he is great, and therefore sacrificing for him instead of the nation. Glorify him, glorify him, and still glorify him.
Late news foreign medias … work faster
HELLLLOOOOOO WE LOVE TUN AND HE IS BRILLIANT WE WANT HIM TO STAY. ANWAR CAN WAIT
WHY ARE YOU MAKING A BIG DEAL OF ANWAR?
UNMAHATHIR? HE IS THE MOST HUMBLE AND KIND MIND AND MOST LOVED
WE SHOWED THE WORLD THE WORKINGS OF A TRUE DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD
TUN MAHATHIR IS LOVED BY US ALL.
Nothing impossible with Tun Mahathir, respected.
Tun M and Anwar…like a boss..👍👍
I agree anwar can wait
The greatest challenge facing Malaysia’s new govt under PH is having racial politics creep BACK into its governing ranks! i.e. persons appointed to positions in governance NOT based on ability or competence/proper qualification (meritocracy) But based on race, religious belief, n SPECIAL connection or affiliation!
PKR political party of Anwar Ibrahim wins 1st Place in Msia”s 14th General Election.
Anwar was a tortured prisoner in 1998 by Mahathir, whose protege global kleptomaniac Najib Razak was instructed to continue jailing Anwar, till 2018!
So, what is devilish, and what is not?
