PONTIAN - Leaders for the ruling Pakatan Harapan alliance in Johor said Saturday's by-election result, which saw it being defeated by the Barisan Nasional in a landslide victory, was a signal from voters which must be taken seriously.

The PH suffered a massive electoral defeat in the Tanjung Piai by-election on Saturday, with its candidate Karmaine Sardini garnering 10,380 votes to BN candidate Wee Jeck Seng's 25,466 votes. It was the fourth electoral loss this year for the PH, which comprises the Parti Keadilan Rakyat , Democratic Action Party , Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, Parti Amanah Negara and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia.

"The majority obtained by the opposition is a shock and also a message to the entire Pakatan leadership," he said in a statement. Datuk Seri Anwar added that Pakatan respected the results and congratulated Barisan's candidate Wee Jeck Seng for his victory.
