Regardless of when the 13th general election will be held, there are 222 Parliament seats to be contested and several past leaders such as former Finance minister Daim Zainuddin have predicted a win by a simple-majority for UMNO-BN.
But very tellingly, they could not be sure if Prime Minister Najib Razak would be able to improve on the 2008 electoral results achieved by his predecessor Abdullah Badawi that were deemed to be disastrous as it was the first time ever that the UMNO-BN had conceded their two-thirds majority in Parliament.
Najib too seems to be quite confident that UMNO--BN can win but still refuses to announce the date for the ballot. This in itself is quite telling. If he was truly confident, he would have called for elections long ago and consolidate his grip on UMNO and Malaysia.
