馬來西亞長期執政聯盟繼續執掌政權

Election officials say Malaysia's ruling coalition has won a simple majority in parliamentary polls, extending its 56-year rule after a tough fight with a strengthened opposition alliance.

Final results from Sunday's election show Prime Minister Najib Razak's National Front coalition capturing 133 of Malaysia's 222 legislative seats, and 89 for the opposition's three-party alliance. The results show a decrease of several seats for the ruling coalition, and an increase for the opposition compared to the 2008 election.

Hours after the polls closed on Sunday, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, in a message posted on Twitter, said his coalition will not accept the results until elections officials explain "alleged instances of fraud." He did not offer details, and it was not clear what effect formal appeals might have on the outcome.

More than 10 million people cast ballots for a record turnout of about 80 percent.

The opposition campaign centered on allegations of ruling party arrogance, abuse of public funds and racial discrimination by the government against the country's sizeable ethnic Chinese population.選舉官員說，馬來西亞的執政聯盟在議會選舉中贏得簡單多數勝利，在跟力量加強的反對派聯盟展開一場激烈的對決後，終於得以再次延續已歷時56年的執政。

星期天選舉的最後點票結果顯示，總理納吉布的國民陣線贏得馬來西亞222個議會議席中的133個，反對派領導人安華的三黨聯盟贏得了89個議席。結果顯示，執政聯盟的得票數下降了幾個席位，反對派獲得的席位比2008年的選舉有所增加。

星期天投票站關閉後幾個小時，反對派領導人安華在推特上發佈信息說，在選舉官員就“舞弊指稱”作出解釋之前，他的聯盟不接受選舉結果。他沒有說明細節。現在還不清楚正式上訴可能對選舉結果產生何種影響。

1000多萬人參加了投票，創下破紀錄的80%投票率。

反對派的競選把重點放在對執政聯盟的批評指稱上。反對派聯盟指稱馬來西亞政府狂妄、濫用公共資金、並對人數衆多的華裔人口實行種族歧視。
