Whoever you used to support, as long as you didn't vote for that party next election, it is in essence voting for the opposing party. That's how the math work.

For Federal Government, there are only 2 real coalition for now PH and PN. Unless you tell me there are 3 coalition out there, then it is different story.

many chinese people residing semenanjung did not fly back to vote. No promotional flight ticket.

Don't take voters for granted. If there is no better choice, many would abstain from voting.
