Parliamentary Seats (2008) - Kedah
In the 2004 elections, the opposition won only 1 parliamentary seat in Kedah - Pendang which PAS won by a miniscule majority of 50.
For 2008, the opposition stand a very good chance to win 5 of the parliamentary seats with another 5 seats within its grasp.

Parliamentary Seats (2008) - Perlis
The Arau parliamentary seat was won by the BN candidate in the 2004 elections with a majority of only 10% of voter turnout agaist Haron Din or PAS.
In 2008, the internal turmoil in UMNO in Perlis will work in favour of the opposition. It is highly likely that PAS will win the Arau seat this time around.
The other 2 parliamentary seats which will be defended by incumbents Azmi Khalid and Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad should be relatively safe seats for UMNO. However, their majorities will most probably be reduced due to the dissatisfaction of some Perlis UMNO members.

Parliamentary Seats (2008) - Federal Territories
The 2 hot seats to watch are the Kepong and Bukit Bintang parliamentary constituencies. The Opposition won both these seats in 2004 but with slim margins of 1,854 and 304 respectively.
Although the Opposition is expected to do better in 2008 and retain these seats it will still be tough fights. In Bukit Bintang, there will be a straight fight after MDP's Wee Cho Keong decided to contest in Wangsa Maju to prevent a 3-corner contest. This should be an advantage to the Opposition. However, the 6,000 postal voters in this constituency which tends to vote for the BN will be a big obstacle to the incumbent DAP candidate Fong Kui Lun.
If the Opposition can win the Wangsa Maju and Batu seats and retain the 4 seats it current holds, the Opposition can potentially get 6 seats parliamentary seats in Kuala Lumpur.

Parliamentary Seats (2008) - Johor
It will be difficult for the opposition to make inroads in Johor in the 2008 elections. However, in Segamat, the swing of Indian voters may allow the opposition to capture this seat which is currently held by MIC. DAP's Pang Hok Liong will again be contesting against MIC's Dr S. Subramaniam.
Another seat to watch is Labis where Chua Soi Lek's son is running. Chua was the incumbent but has to resign from all his government positions after the release of the sex video.
