BN won the Cameron Highland by election. It's not a surprise given the composition of the voters in the constituency and the party they support. The Orang Asli especially has always been voting BN while the Malays are split but the PAS votes this time went entirely to BN. Its a no brainer for them given the BN candidate is a Malay and Islam while the PH candidate is not. So to me, there is no significant change in the voting trend from GE 14. What makes the BN candidate win by a bigger majority is because the PAS votes went almost totally to them. The other factor is the percentage of voters voting. Only slightly more than 60%. This means that the outstation voters did not care to return to vote. They are mostly PH supporters who would have make a difference had they come back.
