On Sunday, it was reported that Malaysia’s tightly contested general election ended in a hung parliament. The coalition led by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim won the most seats followed by a grouping including the country’s Islamist party a few seats behind. Anwar’s Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition secured 82 seats in the 222-member parliament while former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s Malay-based Perikatan Nasional (PN) trailed behind with 73 seats.
