Blue Skies: BN won the Malacca polls as expected, with MCA and MIC piggybacking on BN.

However, it was a great night for DAP; it won the seats it contested, defying expectations despite tough fights in a couple of them.

Gerakan, meanwhile, was nowhere. Sorry for Bersama; great hopes, but the young party still has to make its mark.

I also feel sorry for PKR, Amanah and Bersatu; they went into the race as underdogs.
