Looks like a landslide victory for Barisan Nasional. Taking back Kelantan and Terengganu must be a welcomed bonus. This sends a clear message to PAS that its Islamist policies do not go down well with voters. Both its leaders have lost including its president. Proud statements by PAS leaders that DAP is obsolete is laughable. Even "troublesome" areas eg in Perlis and Kedah, was a stroll in the park.

Nevertheless, DAP has performed extremely well as compared to the elections in 1999. They look set to be the main opposition party. All its top leaders have won except for its secretary general Kerk Kim Hock, who was surprisingly beaten in Kota Melaka. But the emergence of Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh unscathed is probably the gem for DAP.

A holiday perhaps???

ps... BN failed to recapture Kelantan after the recount. But by a slim margin. Perhaps in the next election!
