Malaysia National Front suffers a major lost

National Front or more commonly known among Malaysian as Barisan National (BN) has suffered one of the worst losses in BN history, by losing Pulau Pinang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor and Kelantan to the opposition party. I personally have never seen such a major loss by a ruling government before, especially under the father of development, Tun Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohamad. To be honest the news came as quite a shock to me, I know the opposition party would win a number of seats this election, but I could never have imagined such a victory.

I am not claiming to be a political analyst, but lets look at the fact. After Abdullah Ahmad Badawi take over the Prime Minister seat, in 2004 election he lead BN to win 91% of the Parliamentary seats. That is a monumental success for the party, the people believed that he is able to fight corruption and govern Malaysia to a better future. But in this election, under the same Prime Minister, he also lead his political party to one of the worst lost ever. Base on my common sense and my gut feelings, that goes to show the people is not satisfied with his performance, and the people want more from their government.

Badawi is rumored to resign after the government is formed, but the news is not confirmed.
