The morning after a closely fought 13th general election, Twitter Jaya has woken up to contemplate reality from a variety of perspectives.

Politicians are not the only ones tweeting their thoughts - a lawyer, writer, political analyst and an activist are also in the mix.  

A selection of the day's tweets follows.

Anwar Ibrahim , PKR's Permatang Pauh MP (in separate tweets):

Wear black ... Seharian di pejabat hari ini dengan berpakaian serba hitam. Hari yang muram untuk demokrasi. (Wearing black in office today. A depressing day for democracy.)

Daphne Iking , founder of Baajookoo, Eleanor & Lebosi (in a tweet and on Facebook ):

NONE Congratulations to Barisan Nasional. Congratulations to all winners. Now here's to working together and giving us, the rakyat, the best.

I'm glad election is over because whatever colour I wear, gets misconstrued for me favouring one party to another (or a NGO) Didn't quite like that.

So just in case I get that same crap, I am donning virgin white. To represent a new clean slate. For everyone, old and new, to make things right again. For the people.

Zaid Ibrahim , lawyer and former politician (in separate tweets):

National reconciliation? Lets see if Utusan understands that. 

PM must do 3 things. Scrap BTN, reign in Utusan , apply Sedition Act to Umno as well; then I believe him ...

One more thing declare Perkasa illegal, the(n) I believe him.

M Kaveas , PPP president:

PPP had tough seats. We dare to fail. Tho we lost 5 sets of the game, our team BN won the Championship. We are still proud 2b BN partners.
