Too many

Since the general election in May i.e. about eight months ago, there have been four by elections. Another one is ongoing while there's another is waiting in line. That will make it six. That's a big number by any standard. Four of them were because the elected representatives passed away. One was because of a resignation to pave the way for Anwar to come back. Another one was because it was declared null and void due to money corruption. Going by the proceedings so far, there will be yet another one. It has gone to the appeal court but I believe the by election will be held. So that makes it seven in total in less than a year after the general election. I don't know when the government can start governing when you have by elections every now and then.
