Making Sense of the Melaka State Elections Results

The Melaka State elections took place on the 20th of November. Barisan Nasional proved that despite their defeat at the 2018 General Elections, they are not out of it yet. In Melaka, BN won 21 out of the 28 seats available, a two-third majority. Pakatan Harapan which won 15 seats at the previous elections retained only 5 (4 from DAP, 1 from AMANAH and PKR got completely wiped out). Perikatan Nasional managed to retain two seats. Dr Oh Ei Sun joins us to discuss.
