On May 9, 2018, Malaysians took part in the 14th General Election, and the opposition Alliance of Hope (Pakatan Harapan) won 113 seats in parliament, ending the 60-year reign of the ruling National Front (Barisan Nasional). The following are comments posted at reddit. [Pakatan Harapan comprises Bersatu, PKR, DAP and Amanah.]

50 years in the future, we will look this moment 9th of May 2018 as the day where Barisan Nasional fall for the first time since our independence. And the most memorable part is that, we did it using democracy by voting similar to how we achieve our independence. No blood, no violence, all by a simple pen stroke and a purple forefinger to remember. Take a bow Malaysian, we did it ‘our’ way.

MiloTruck:

Tomorrow we will like our great and grand parents watching the Proclaimation of Merdeka on 31st August 1957. Damn. Bawang masuk mata.

mrJirap:

It really is a touching moment

reclusivepterodactyl:

my eyes are welling up. i’m not even a malaysian, but i’ve lived here so long that this is home. i am SO fucking PROUD of this nation.

Smiling-Dragon:

It’s a huge and difficult thing that the Malaysian people have just achieved. Despite the odds against you - including some terrifying tactics being employed - you’ve prevailed, and done so with dignity, aplomb and virtue. Of course, the really hard work is just beginning, there’s years and years of damage to undo, but you’ve just proven that you are undeniably up to the challenge!

It is certainly a proud day for Malaysia and Malaysians. I think all Malaysians, regardless of who they support, can find some sort of pride in the election. We had an open election, no blood, 76% of voters participated, and the votes counted even though the current ruling party lost. The popular vote and number of seats also correspond. I didn’t think it would happen but I am incredibly proud. It isn’t a perfect process for sure but democracy really did take place.
