Malaysians have a new leader with a familiar face after the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition won the General Election (Pemilu) in the neighboring country. Mahathir Mohamad (92 years old), the leader of the PH coalition, will once again lead Malaysia for the 2018-2023 term after securing 113 out of 222 seats in the Malaysian parliament.

PH, an opposition coalition comprising the People's Justice Party (PKR) and the Democratic Action Party (DAP), managed to overthrow the dominance of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition for the first time since Malaysian independence in 1957. The Malaysian politician, known as Dr. M, previously served as the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia from July 16, 1981, to October 31, 2003.

Falling public trust in the government, coupled with rising prices and the corruption scandal involving the Malaysian state investment company (1Malaysia Development Berhad/1MDB), led to a drastic decline in the BN coalition's performance. BN's seat count in this election was only 79, a significant drop from the 133 seats it won in the 2013 election.
