It’s by election time again! Well it is a tri-election this time – Bukit Selambau, Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai. 2 Bukit and 1 Batang. Doesn’t sound right. We have another Bukit in waiting – Bukit Lanjan. The orgy fest of the Bukits and Batang.. Ah Ah Har Har…
Few things. MSM is again, spinning for the establishment. So, let’s unspin the spin in this insignificant blog of mine.
If you read the MSM reports for the past few days, especially on Bukit Selambau by election, you may get this conclusion – Bukit Selambau Indian votes may shift because of ‘perceived’ change of Indian sentiments on the ground, reflected by the resignation by Jerai PKR division chief B. Kalaivanar and some PKR Indian leaders contesting as independents, defying the party’s rule.
Le’t start with Kalaivanar. I quote:
SUNGAI PETANI: PKR’s campaign for the Bukit Selambau state seat was dealt an early blow when more than 450 members, led by Jerai PKR division chief B. Kalaivanar, quit the party.

February 5, 2009 marks the saddest day in the history of Malaysia. Greed prevails.
It is final. No dissolution of DUN and BN is most likely to be the new boss in Perak. Politics is dirty and Umno just showed how despicable and dirty it is. People are worrying about the ailing economy and these maggots are celebrating their victory.
It is good that it happened as it is a blessing in disguise. Let’s put few things into perspective.
1) Victory?? Umno/BN must be really dumb to think it is the victor in this latest political drama. PR won big in PRU12, won Permatang Pauh and Kuala Terengganu – all this with huge public support but BN ‘wins’ back Perak and risk losing any remote remaining support from the rakyat for the dirty and ugly tactics – threats and bribes. A Malay saying ‘ayam menang (or menang sorak), kampung tergadai‘ is apt to describe this ‘winning’.
Tengku Razaleigh in his blog put it into perspective how BN will suffer the backlash and contempt if no fresh election is called.
“Angry voters nationwide will reject the BN even more vehemently in the next general election if snap polls are not held in Perak.”
KUALA TERENGGANU: Terengganu MCA has asked DAP to clearly state whether it opposes plans by its Pakatan Rakyat partner PAS to implement hudud laws should it ever come to power.
State MCA chairman Toh Chin Yaw said the presence of DAP deputy chairman Dr Tan Seng Giaw during the announcement of the PAS candidate for the Kuala Terengganu by-election at Stadium Negeri on Thurs- day reflected the former’s compromise over the implementation of the Islamic law.
Hello? MCA must be too dumb for not reading their own paper, because many times DAP already said it does not support hudud! How many times DAP needs to make its stand? Didn’t DAP left the informal coalition of PAS, KeADILan and DAP in 2002 soon after PAS proposed to have hudud in Terengganu? Do some research before making any stupid statements.
