The result reflects the frustrations of Malaysians who continue to grapple with rising living costs, an issue the PH coalition had promised to address in its election campaign.

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's ruling coalition lost its fourth electoral contest on Saturday since coming to power last May, uncovering deepening cracks in the young alliance mired by uncertainty over a succession plan for its top leadership.

Its popularity plunged to 41% in July, well below the 64% rate recorded when it took over power just over a year earlier, according to a survey by independent pollster Merdeka Center. "The decision is clear. The people are disappointed and want to teach PH and especially Tun Dr M. He should know what should be done immediately. No more delays!" Syed Husin said in a Twitter post.Tanjung Piai is the second seat that the ruling coalition has lost since taking power, but the first it has lost by such a large margin.
