Johor DAP chief Liew Chin Tong pointed out that Pagoh MP Muhyiddin Yassin's constituency size was dramatically reduced, which he claimed may be aimed at defeating the former Umno leader.

PKR's Sri Andalas state assemblyperson Dr Xavier Jeyakumar claimed the EC transformed his seat from a racially-mixed one to a Malay seat.
