Former politician Lee Hwa Beng was quick to realise that and he tweeted, "The death of the BN ADUN would put the Trengganu Assembly 16BN:15PR.This By-election would be interesting." Lam Seng Fatt, ABN News The death of the UMNO State Assemblyman for Kuala Besut Dr Abdul Rahman Mokhtar (picture) this morning at the age of 55, has suddenly woken up the political pundits who had gone off on holiday after the May 5 GE13. That is simply because Barisan Nasional won the State Government with a wafer-thin two-seat majority. With Abdul Rahman's death, it is now Barisan Nasional's 16 seats vs Pakatan Rakyat's 15. Assuming that Pakatan Rakyat wins the by-election, it will be a hung State Assembly of 16 vs 16 which could force a State election to be called. Former politician Lee Hwa Beng was quick to realise that and he tweeted, "The death of the BN ADUN would put the Trengganu Assembly 16BN:15PR.This By-election would be interesting."
