More than 50% of the Malaysians have "spoken" through the ballot box on 5 May 2013 that they do not want BN to be the government of Malaysia.
Sadly, our electoral system has been drafted in such a way that a "losing" party with less than 50% popular vote can claim power to rule!
Of course, BN was quick to use their racial mind-set to say that Malaysian Chinese have rejected the BN. This is grossly misleading if one is to look at the racial composition of Malaysia. It was reported in 2004 that Malaysian Chinese made up of only 25.4% of the total population. In fact with the declining birth rate among the Chinese, that percentage is even lower today.
It is obvious that in the GE13 election, even assuming that all Chinese voted against the BN (which is definitely not possible), a very significant number of non-Chinese have voted against the BN and not what BN has tried to make many to believe.
