Malaysia's ruling coalition has won a simple majority in the country's election, extending its 56-year rule.
The Election Commission said Prime Minister Najib Razak's Barisan Nasional (BN; National Front) coalition won 133 of the 222 in parliamentary seats - its worst-ever election performance.
The opposition won 89 seats, up from 82, in Sunday's election.
Defeated opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim accused the ruling coalition of widespread fraud.
Voters - some 80% of whom cast ballots - had been faced with returning the ruling coalition or choosing Mr Anwar's untested three-party alliance, Pakatan Rakyat.
Malaysian shares reacted positively to news that the BN had won.
The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index jumped 6.8% to a lifetime high of 1,808.90 in early trade on Monday. The local currency, the ringgit, hit a 10-month high.
