We zoom in to the scenic hill plantations of Cameron Highlands to look for insights at the polling district and saluran-level. https://t.co/KGDCYMGrtq (Analysis by @tindakmalaysia) #GE14

A radical proposal: To ensure any redelineation exercise is competitive, let the opposition coalition lead the efforts to redraw the lines – https://t.co/iTMfhxzWme #gerrymandering #GE15

Many suspect the Election Commission of giving unfair advantage to a certain political party in #GE14 – but how significant was the #gerrymandering? The graphs say it all: https://t.co/iTMfhxzWme

[DataTarik @DataTarik]

8.6 out of 100 Malaysians found themselves voting in a new parliamentary district in #GE14. Why was this so? When does #redelineation become #gerrymandering? https://t.co/iTMfhxzWme

[DataTarik @DataTarik]

If redelineation was carried out fairly, why do @barisanasional safe seats show little change in voters? And why do @pakatanharapan_ safe seats show significant numbers of voters moved around? The data suggests gerrymandering was carried out to benefit BN. https://t.co/iTMfhxRxdM

In the spirit of #WorldCup, we take a look at the teams Malaysians support. Stronger teams are more closely followed. However, moderately strong teams are more popular than you would expect – such as Mexico, Iceland and Japan! 🇩🇪🇦🇷🇧🇷🇲🇽🇯🇵 https://t.co/NASyVJfTO2

What is voter suppression? Did the Election Commission's use this tactical move? How did this affect turnout & outcomes? https://t.co/JEddi3W4WZ #GE14

[DataTarik @DataTarik]

The data is clear — @pakatanharapan_ supporters were most motivated to vote, maintaining their safe seats, while winning some marginal seats from @barisanasional. https://t.co/JEddi3W4WZ

[DataTarik @DataTarik]

Supporters staying home cost @barisanasional the election. https://t.co/JEddi3W4WZ #GE14 #MalaysiaBaharu #MalaysiaMemilih

[DataTarik @DataTarik]

Show up to vote, or stay home? The #GE14 election outcome was shaped way more by the turnout of @barisanasional than @pakatanharapan_ supporters. https://t.co/JEddi3W4WZ

Midweek elections. Unprecedented results. Peaceful transfer of power. Malaysia, kini standing in the eyes of the world. https://t.co/m0PeieDuJ9 https://t.co/qtZyK3duVc

It's been exactly one month since May 9th. #GE14 briefly put Malaysia on the world map – we were featured by international news outlets as an instance of democracy done right. Well done, Malaysia! https://t.co/m0PeieDuJ9

Although voting is not compulsory here, Malaysians defy the trend when compared against other countries with similar levels of political rights/freedom. https://t.co/m0PeieDuJ9
