PAKATAN LOST INDIAN VOTES IN TENANG

EC announces official results:

BN - 6,699
PAS -2,992
Majority - 3,707

azlanBN's majority is 1,215 votes higher than the one it garnered at the 2008 general elections.

DAP's claim that it won 70% of Chinese votes in Tenang is based on the results from Bandar Labis Tengah, which is 95.7% Chinese. There, DAP has 69.8% share of the total votes (PAS bagged 851 votes as against BN's 365).
As for the other two Chinese-majority areas - Bandar Labis Timor (63.40% Chinese) and Labis (58.3% Chinese) - DAP is arguing that they are able to retain the Chinese votes there, but lost out on the Malay and Indian votes, resulting in PAS losing both polling districts which it won in the 2008 general election.
