Judging from the trends of voting among the Chinese, who makes up almost 30% of total electorates nation-wide, it is fair to conclude that it was NOT the Chinese votes which triggered major inroads by the Pakatan in Selangor, Perak, Kedah and Penang. Since the debut of DAP in 1969, majority of Chinese voters were known to have consistently vote for DAP, instead of the BN-aligned MCA. Hence, DAP’s TRADITIONAL better showing in overwhelming Chinese urban constituencies like Bukit Bintang, Seputeh, Kepong, Ipoh, Batu Gajah etc. As such, the CHINESE FACTOR was not the reason behind the changing political landscape after 2008 GE.
