The Battle Begins...

...in the 215 (of 222) parliamentary and 503 (of 505) state constituencies.

Yesterday, after nomination closed, Barisan Nasional won 7 parliamentary and 2 state seats unopposed.

Among them was the Pengerang parliamentary seat in Johor which is in the hand of Youth and Sports Minister Azalina Othman Said.
Signed, sealed and delivered.
It was second-time lucky for her. In 2004, she also won uncontested.

Elsewhere, bloggers are contesting in this general election.

They are Badrul Hisham Shaharin (P131 Rembau), Jeff Ooi (P50 Jelutong), Tony Pua (P106 Petaling Jaya Utara), Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (N32 Seri Setia) and Elizabeth Wong (N37 Bukit Lanjan).

And I wish you all the best!
