I was very keen in observing this GE as some of the candidates from both side of political divide were involved in the same organisation as I did, the Malaysian Youth Council(MYC). Some were there before my time, some served together with me. There are those who managed to win while some did not succeed.
There are quite a number MYC former leaders whoo stood in the election.
1. Tajol Rosli - former president-Umno-former Perak MB-won his state seat but lost his State
2. Ali Rustam- former president-Umno-Melaka CM-won his seat and retain Melaka CM
3. Khir Toyo-former president-Umno-former Selangor MB-won his seat but lost his State
4. Hasan Malek-former president-Umno-Kuala Pilah MP-won his seat and appointed Deputy Minister
5. Saifuddin Abdullah-former president-Umno-Temerloh MP-won his seat and appointed Deputy Minister
6. Shamsul Annuar-Current President-Umno-Lenggong MP-won his seat in first bid

8. Idris Haron-Current Deputy Pres-Umno- Tangga Batu MP- reelected and appointed Deputy Minister

Anwar Ibrahim, the de facto PKR leader was a former MYC president. He is expected to stand in a by-election after April 15. What will be his destiny?
