The Negeri Sembilan state election may be over but its political implications are only beginning to unfold.
Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional emerged victorious in the polls, with a commanding two-thirds majority.
Analysts say the results point to a further consolidation of the ethnic Malay vote and raise fresh questions about the evolving political landscape heading into the next general election.
What lessons should political leaders take from this outcome? Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Aliran’s Dr Azmil Tayeb, an associate professor at USM’s School of Social Sciences, and Dr Tricia Yeoh, as associate professor of practice, at the School of Politics, International Relations and Economics, University of Nottingham Malaysia, where she is also director of its Asian Institute for Policy and Engagement.
