[Compiled Chen Chengliang/Comprehensive Report] The results of the Malaysian general election on the 20th have been roughly completed. In the context of the failure of the largest political party, Umno, to integrate various factions within the party and the split of the opposition camp, no single party or alliance has won more than half of the House of Commons. The number of seats means a "hung parliament" (hung parliament).

However, the two major opposition alliances claim that there are enough seats to form a new government.

In addition, former Prime Minister Mahathir Mahathir lost the election or ended his 70-year political career.

The three major camps in Malaysia's political arena include the ruling coalition "National Front" (National Front) led by the current prime minister and vice-chairman of "Umno" (UMNO) Ismail Sabri Yaakob, and opposition leader Anwar ( Anwar Ibrahim's "Pakatan Harapan" (Pakatan Harapan), and former Prime Minister Muhyiddin (Muhyiddin Yassin) led the "National Alliance" (National Alliance).

Out of the 222 seats in the House of Commons, 219 seats have been decided, with the PH coalition winning the most 82 seats; the National Alliance has 73 seats.

As for the setback of the Barisan Nasional, which has been in power since Malaysia's independence until 2018, it has only 30 seats.

The Sarawak Alliance of Political Parties won 22 seats.

Elections for the remaining three seats will be postponed due to the death of a candidate in Kedah state during the campaign.

Sarawak and Sabah, which each have one seat, will be delayed due to weather.

After the general election results were announced, Perikatan Nasional leader Muhyiddin said that he was negotiating to form the next government and had received a letter from the palace informing him of the conditions needed to form the government.

He said that other like-minded political parties are welcome to cooperate, but Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional are not welcome.

Shimon's leader, the 75-year-old former deputy prime minister Anwar, criticized Muhyiddin for spreading rumors. He emphasized that it was impossible for the PN to form a government, and the PH alliance had won a majority of seats to form a new government.

He did not say who or what party he would form an alliance with, but said they had made written commitments that would be presented to Malaysia's supreme leader, Al-Sultan Abdullah, for approval.

In addition, the 97-year-old former Prime Minister Mahathir lost the election for the first time in 53 years. He was unable to be re-elected in the constituency of Langkawi (Langkawi), a resort destination, and ranked fourth among the five candidates.

The defeat could spell the end of Mahathir's 70-year political career.

As the chairman of the "Fatherland Action Alliance", Mahathir said before the election that this should be his last election.

Mahathir, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, was determined to be unable to be re-elected in his constituency of Langkawi (Langkawi), a resort town, and ranked fourth among the five candidates.
