After this week's closest election in Malaysia's history, the ruling National Front returned to power with a majority in parliament. The opposition alliance, however, won more than half the votes. The result has left a divided country, with the opposition alleging electoral fraud, and many in the ruling coalition are blaming the ethnic Chinese majority for their poor performance. Rian Maelzer reports for VOA from Kuala Lumpur.
