Apparently, Mr Untouchable just received his marching orders from God.
The shock of losing his Istana must have been "heart" breaking.

The Aftermath: The End of May13 Spectre
"Don't go out to KL, it is not safe after the election", thats the first thing my mom-in-law told me (in Hakka) after the massive victory by the Barisan Rakyat. I was thinking of shopping in Pavilion. No surprise there since she is 65 years old and have horrible memories of the spectre.
Or, perhaps she had been brainwashed by the Chinese papers to believe that May13 will happen if Chinese vote for the Opposition. I personally don't believe any of the bull from the Chinese-papers. Fear mongering is their forte.
Unfortunately, the English papers started to send subtle messages of the likelihood of racial clashes if people voted the Opposition. One ex-MP from MCA even threatened the voters with May13, which you can read in Lulu's blog.
One thing that I am glad (I am happy about plenty of things) about the aftermath of Election 08 is the end of the May13 Spectre. I doubt any politician in future will ever give this threat to voters again.
Here is what is reported by Leslie Lopez
THE last time Malaysia was rocked with a spectacular election upset that threatened the ruling coalition government, race riots followed. But there will not be a repeat of the May 1969 communal clashes after last weekend's stunning election results which robbed the Barisan Nasional (BN) of its two-thirds majority in Parliament and had the opposition take over an unprecedented five states.
Here is why:
1. Unlike in 1969, when Malaysians voted along communal lines and the Malay political dominance was put in doubt, the rejection of BN at the weekend was a result of a multi-racial political tsunami.
2. Also, the economic clout of the Malays has expanded tremendously. They hold a huge stake in the national economic pie and undermining that would be foolish.
The BN government did try to raise the 1969 bogey in its election campaign, stressing that only the Umno-led coalition could ensure peace and stability.
In the final lap of campaigning, less subtle messages appeared in several mainstream newspapers, which raised the spectre of communal clashes should the people cast their vote for the opposition. But the strategy did not work.
Many young Malaysians who reached voting age in the past 10 years do not carry the baggage of the May 13 riots because they have enjoyed uninterrupted economic prosperity and political stability. The opposition coalition, led by former deputy premier Anwar Ibrahim, also took great pains to reassure the Chinese and Indians that the Malays would not tolerate any attempts by the BN to stir racial problems.
At a huge gathering in the Malay enclave of Kampung Baru on the fringes of the capital Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Seri Anwar said that both his Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and PAS, would defend the non-Malays. 'There will be people who will want to stir race problems. But we in PKR and PAS will defend our Chinese and Indian brothers,' he told a cheering crowd of predominantly Malay supporters.

Bursa Suspended, Reacts to Geopolitical change
Bursa fell more than 10%
Latest news:KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia halted trading at 2.58pm after the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) fell 10%, which is the maximum limit. The KLCI fell 130.01 points to 1,166.32, the biggest one-day percentage loss in recent years. Turnover was 913 million shares valued at RM2.47bil.
Losers hammered gainers 887 to 19.
Also: Key Asian markets fell in the morning session Monday on growing fears of a recession in the United States while in Malaysia, sentiment was further weighed down after the Barisan Nasional failed to retain its two-thirds majority in Parliament.
As we have just barely recovered from the euphoria and lack of sleep of the Election Aftershock, Malaysia - brace yourself for an economic aftershock.
In all likelihood, BN will blame us (for voting for change) for the fall of the Bursa, when in fact it is a regional sentiment as US is in recession and the Oil price is now at record level.
One only need to look at who are the big losers to realise that there are mainly those in property development and concessionaires. There is no surprise there, right since a cleaning up will soon happen and investors are running scared!

Day of Upsets on CNN Frontpage
Such is the impact of this massive change.
The day of Upsets is also not confined to just the political arena where the mighty have fallen.
The Devils and the Blues also suffers embarrassing defeats to minnows.
Its all a sign from God that the time is up for the evil, corrupt and proud.
