BARISAN Nasional received an early boost with three wins declared in Sabah and Sarawak.

Bernama reported that the ruling coalition has retained Serian, Tanjong Manis and Kalabakan.

The government-controlled media generally report the good news for BN and are painfully slow to report opposition wind.

At present, BN has 16 seats and Pakatan Harapan holds 12. – May 9, 2018.
