  - PKR’s Dr Xavier Jayakumar leading in all streams in Kota Raya state seat

  - PKR’s Tian Chua leading in Batu by 3,743 votes.

• PKR in unassailable lead in Bukit Tambun - 7.05pm

  PKR's Law Choo Kiang has taken an unassailable lead of 1,500 votes for the state seat of Bukit Tambun. This may be the first Penang seat to fall to opposition hands.
  
  Early reports indicate DAP candidates are leading in many Penang state seats.

• Poor turnout in opposition’s favour? - 6.55pm

  A very poor turnout in Taiping, especially among the Malay voters, is expected to cause some problems for incumbent M Kayveas. Similarly poor voter turnout in Selangor's Kapar and Klang, again among Malay voters, could benefit PKR and DAP in both seats.

• Opposition takes lead in key hot seats - 6.47pm

  Based on ground reports, DAP candidates are leading in the early stage of the count. Tony Pua is leading by 1,800 votes in Petaling Jaya Utara. Fong Kui Lun is similarly leading by 3,000 votes in Bukit Bintang. Hannah Yeoh is leading the Subang Jaya state seat.
  
  In Klang, DAP's Charles Santiago is also leading at this very early stage. PKR's S Manikavasagam is also in the lead in neighbouring Kapar.
