Just yesterday (28th March), the Dewan Rakyat officially passed the motion on redelineation, with 129 votes for and 80 against. This resulted in a number of changes in polling stations and parliamentary seats across all states in the peninsular, namely Johor, Selangor, and Perak. In total, 98 of 185 seats the peninsular have reportedly had their boundaries redrawn.
