PETALING JAYA: As Malaysians go to the polls today, the wait begins for what the most keenly fought general election ever will bring. The earliest results are expected by around eight tonight.

Nearly 15 million voters will decide who will represent them in 222 parliamentary seats and in the 505 state seats in 12 states, in an election that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak says will determine the destiny of the nation.
