Attempts to persuade Billi Lim not to contest as an Independent Candidate for the Malaysian 12th General Election was not successful (Interview with Billi Lim). In the interview, he boasted that he has a 50-50 chance at winning the election. He managed to only garner 1895 votes, way below 50%.
The election results are as follows:
Selangor:
Barisan Nasional - 5
PAS - 4
DAP - 4
PKR - 9
Independent - 0
Federal Territory:
Barisan Nasional - 3
PAS - 1
DAP - 5
PKR - 4
Independent- 0
None of the Independent Candidates won in the above elections
Result of individual Independent Candidates, votes obtained plus majority:
State Assemblies:
Rawang N14 Y23
Independent - 704 votes (lost)
majority - 4192
Batu Caves N16 Y23
Independent - 379 votes (lost)
majority - 3639
Port Klang N46 Y25
Independent - 580 votes (lost)
majority - 4407
Sungai Pelek N56 Y25
Independent - 816 votes (lost)
Majority - 1572
Parliamentary seats:
Kelana Jaya P104 Y24
Independent (Billi Lim) - 1895 votes (lost)
Majority - 5031
Lembah Pantai P121 Y26
Independent (Periasamy) - 489 votes (lost)
Majority - 2895
Labuan P166 Y27
Independent - 2014 votes (lost)
Majority - 8457
It was fortunate the swing against the Barisan Nasional was so strong that the effect of the Independent Candidates taking away a portion of the protest votes were nullified.
