"They are being sore losers. They can't take the disappointment of losing the election," he told reporters outside the Dewan Rakyat today.
“I consider this as an end to the Black 505,” he added.
Shabery also criticised the opposition for taking their oath in Parliament while their supporters were protesting against the election results outside of the Parliament yesterday morning.
“I pity those who laid down on the road, while opposing the police yesterday. While they were protesting, their leaders were taking their oath in the Parliament,” he said.
“Their leaders received the benefits (of being a MP) and sit comfortably in the Parliament,” he added.
