MUAR: With only 12 votes difference between MIC and PKR candidates, both parties are expected to ask for a recount.
Party members at the voting centre say almost 98% of the votes have been counted so far.
"We are waiting for all the votes to be counted before asking for a recount," a party member said.
The state seat is caught in a four-corner fight with Lee Ming Wen (Warisan), Arthur Chiong Sen Sern (PKR), Tan Heng Choon (Gerakan-PN) and S Supayah (MIC-BN).
PKR's promising candidate Maszlee Malik has been defeated in Layang-Layang.
PKR is yet to win any of the 20 state seats it contested.
