YOURSAY | ‘DAP’s 40pct seat reduction should be a strong wake-up call.’
BN bags 48 seats in landslide win, Harapan retains 8
Anonymous_3f4b: This is very, very good. Syabas, congratulations to Bangsa Johor for showing the way in Peninsular Malaysia.
Pakatan Harapan is demolished, and DAP gets its second drubbing after Sabah. It would be better if DAP lost all 17 seats it contested. There would be 17 eggy presents for them.
Syabas MCA, Harapan deserves to lose. They are devoid of majority Malay support; the Indian votes are gone, and the Chinese votes are down 40 percent at least.
DAP can call itself the “Disintegrate Actionless Party” if the same scenario repeats itself in Negeri Sembilan.
It is expected that Bersama lost. A new political kid on the block with no money, no resources, no manpower and no logistics. They contested only 15 state seats with no chance of forming the state government.
The people want clear choices of who will be the next government in waiting, not a trial-and-error type of mish-mash politics.
Relatively speaking, BN’s multi-racial and multi-religious approach is way better than Harapan’s, with its fake reformasi and Madani ideology.
PinkJaguar7289: This is a big yes - this was a long-awaited victory and a genuine comeback. While others relied on loud rhetoric, arrogance, and political theatre, the winners played a disciplined, silent game: listening, organising, and letting the ballot box speak.
Sometimes the strongest comeback is not announced from the stage; it is built quietly on the ground and revealed on election night. Congratulations to them.
Meanwhile, DAP’s fall from 10 seats in 2022 to just six in 2026 - a loss of four seats, or 40 percent of its representation - should be a serious wake-up call.
Voters are tired of recycled rhetoric, endless political lecturing and the arrogance displayed at some ceramahs, as though public support is guaranteed.
People want humility, accountability, and practical solutions, not leaders who speak down to them.
When a party stops listening and starts believing its own applause, the ballot box delivers the verdict.
DAP’s fall from 10 seats to six is the ballot box telling arrogant, recycled politics that voters are no longer guaranteed.
GP2025: It appears that once again, BN and particularly Umno should thank Harapan for this overwhelming support for a corruption-tainted party. The voters punished Harapan, but BN benefited from it.
I have to grudgingly admit that BN played a good game at Harapan’s expense, thanks to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. If he had severed ties with BN/Umno, this wouldn’t have happened.
It also shows voters still haven’t learnt strategic voting. Vote for alternatives who won’t win enough seats to form a government, but who will deprive the parties of the votes to win.
Apanama is back: The majority of voters are risk-averse and play it safe. They get what they vote for.
Nothing is great about Umno Baru except that they have given former premier Najib Abdul Razak a discount on his jail term.
Now DAP can come up with a “gotong-royong” strategy with Umno Baru on Najib's pardon application for the second time.
However, this win will not have a multiplier effect throughout the country. Umno Baru and its president, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, will become more arrogant and deluded as a result of the current win.
It appears that DAP is struggling to win more seats. This is DAP’s strategy by its secretary-general, Anthony Loke. Well done, Loke. “Terus berusaha” (Keep it up).
Wait for your next slap in the Negeri Sembilan polls, which will be the best one in your home base.
DAP should stay put in the coalition government to enjoy perks and benefits, including pensions. Don’t pull out. Let the voters send you people packing. “Baru nampak cantik” (it will look great then).
Milshah: The Johor election results, which concluded last night, are as expected. There will be those who want to pin Harapan’s losses to failure to implement reforms.
Anwar and DAP need to be prepared with the keyboard warriors I warned at the start of the election.
But it does not make sense to vote for BN, which made no reforms. If any, Bersama should win some seats, which they did not.
As I said since the beginning of the election, BN will win because Johor is a BN fortress. Umno is Johor, and Johor is Umno. The party also has a very popular menteri besar in Onn Hafiz Ghazi, and BN has the endorsement of PAS.
Congratulations to Onn, Umno, and BN. Now, on to Negeri Sembilan polls!
This election has nothing to do with Harapan’s shortcomings at the federal level. Anyway, don’t take heart; it’s normal to have winners and losers.
BobbyO: The Chinese voters are practical as they know it is easier to deal and do business with Umno. If not, why the sudden change in their mindset?
Why vote for a party that has proven time after time that it is corrupt to the core? Is it because it is easier to do business and Johor has a good future ahead of it?
Also, it is a known fact that Johor has a ruler who has entrepreneurship running in his veins. He wants Johor to prosper and be like its southern neighbour.
Well, congratulations to all the winners. Let us hope that the nation also prospers together with the success that Johor brings.
To DAP and especially PKR, you have an uphill battle to regain your support. Drastic measures need to be put in place; if not, you will be returned to the opposition bench and reduced to a mosquito party.
Anak Malaysiaku: Johoreans will taste their own medicine; they voted as if BN would give them better governance.
Look at BN leaders, they are not going to drive Johoreans to a better future. Johoreans have made a big mistake. Check the situation in five years’ time.
The winners are Singaporeans. Johor BN lacks leadership, drive, and initiative, as more talents flow to Singapore. Vietnam and Thailand will face less competition from incompetent Johor.
The biggest losers are young Johoreans whose future is further doomed while the elites enjoy.
Harapan should bite the bullet and eliminate corruption without fear or favour and stop playing race and religion games. They have to act fast as the 16th general election is coming.
We all want our country to prosper, but not with corrupt and useless leaders. It is a pity that Johoreans are not mature enough to see this. - Mkini
