Terima kasih Malaysia.

After a long, tiring day, the Election Commission has announced that Barisan Nasional has won the 13th General Elections. As of press time, Barisan took 128 parliamentary seats to Pakatan's 78.
While a majority of Malaysians switch off their TVs and head to bed, some Netizens took to their social media sites to voice their opinions, congratulating both parties for a great fight.

However, Barisan's win was also met with angry responses and criticisms, thanks largely to alleged rigging of votes and unexplained black out incidences in several polling stations. The backlash was so bad, in fact, that Netizens are 'blacking out' their Facebook profile pictures as a sign of protest.
The future of Malaysia is getting more worrying now. More than ever. #pru13 #ge13

You may have won in numbers. But you will never win the hearts of your countrymen. #ge13 #pru13

Although I am not Msian, am disappointed with election results nevertheless. Msians don't deserve dirty underhand politicking! #GE13 #PRU13

But the again, not everyone was in a foul mood. There are some Malaysians who try to diffuse the tension by tweeting words of comfort:
RT @hfzisml: BN has won the parliament, but PR has won Malaysia. Chin up, friends. We can change this. #GE13 #PRU13

Have faith... Every change, every revolution has to start some where #ge13 #pru13 #malaysia
