The magic number could well be 65, not 36, in Negri Sembilan

AS Negri Sembilan prepares for another important state election, much of the political conversation has revolved around a familiar number: 36, the total number of seats required to secure full control of the State Legislative Assembly; although the minimum needed is 29 seats in Negri Sembilan to garner a 2/3 majority.

Electoral majority naturally attracts attention because it determines who governs.
