Malaysia's 15th general elections, held on Saturday, brought forth not just a fractured verdict on Sunday, but also fears that the electorate including the 6 million new young voters - have veered towards race and religion narrative against the affirmative, progressive economic discourse this multiethnic nation presented in earlier polls.
