Why PR Fail In Bagan Pinang?

Even before the results was released, I already anticipated that PAS had only a good 50% chance of winning. My instincts say it ain't going to be a smooth ride because Bagan Pinang was indeed a hardcore stronghold for BN. Although it was a landslide win for Isa Samad, still any logic thinking person would smell something fishy within those 5000+ majority that he garnered. Well, a lost still a lost and there's nothing much we can do about but to reflect to ourselves for the mistake that had...

9th By-Election in 9th State

There we go again! Another by-election for Pakatan Rakyat to test their ground has just appeared with the death of BN's assemblyman Azman Md.Noor, the incumbent of Bagan Pinang, a small Malay concentrated constituency located in the south of Port Dickson. With issues of Hindu temple in Selangor and Kg.Buah Pala still looming around, this breaking news was indeed a karma-come-around slap in the Election Commission's face for favouring BN in the Perak constitutional crisis. Nonetheless, it...

Perak Crisis: Stupidest CPO Called Zulkifli

Perak CPO Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said the act of removing V. Sivakumar from the state assembly as it was 'requested' by the new speaker Datuk R. Ganesan. Perak CPO, as any typical RCMP CPO has to look smart to outsmart, but this dumbo seem to fail big time when he can't even differentiate legitimate speaker and illegitimate speaker. For cryin' out loud, this smart ass even said “The request was made because the speaker found that he could no longer control the situation. The...

Battle of Batang Padang

Batang Padang is my district where I dwell ever since I was born. It has always been a BN stronghold but the most recent tsunami does create some confusion and uncertainty. Things will never be the same again after March 8th as no BN seat is a safe seat, if not now but definitely for the coming GE. Here are my analysis on my district's verdict. P72. TAPAH Datuk M. Saravanan (MIC) (n) Tan Seng Toh (PKR) Tapah has always been an UMNO-BN stronghold. Having an MIC there is not a problem as...

Dear JOHN

Dear J.O.H.N, Oh how I hate to write, Dear J.O.H.N, Pakatan Rakyat let you know tonight, That our trust for you all has died away, Like grass upon the lawn, And tonight we pledge to fight you another day! You lot sucked big time. Be gone to the darkside you...

Perak Chaos: My Message to My King II

After delivering my short message via DYMM Tuanku official guestbook, I dropped an email to DYMM Tuanku's special PR officer with a semi-lengthy message in hope that my message and many other Perakians will be heard. Here is what I've said; "Ampun Tuanku beribu-ribu ampun, sembah patik mohon di ampun. Patik mohon mengadap sembah Tuanku dan memohon Tuanku memperkenankan untuk bubarkan Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak untuk membolehkan rakyat Tuanku mengundi dan memilih kerajaan, demi untuk...

Perak Chaos: My Message to My King

Perak has descended into chaos and as a proud anak Perak, I am not missing this opportunity to make my bid to seek a cyber audience from my King so that a snap-election can be held in the event of PR Perak under siege by the evil wrong doings of Najib and his frog unit codenamed J.O.H.N. Here is my message; "Ampun Tuanku beribu-ribu ampun, sembah patik mohon di ampun.  Limpah kurnia dan kasih tuanku tidak terhingga kepada bumi Perak dan patik sebagai jelata bumi bertuah ini ingin...

Codename J.O.H.N: Destination Perak

My day was shocked and shattered by the news of the 'collapse' of my homestate; Perak. The usual browsing routine suddenly became lifeless as I was stoned in front of my monitor reading 'simplified' frontpage of Malaysiakini. The 'simplified' page was due to high traffic earlier in the morning surging towards the site by die-hard Pakatan supporters. It made my 'day' for awhile as I usually glued to my PC this hour but my normally fun routine became almost like a sort of 'mourning'. Since...

From Permatang Pauh to Parliament

Congrats Dato' Seri. Next stop - Putrajaya. Make sure the crossovers will take place. You said the 16th. That was merely 3 weeks shy. I was hoping that it will happen. Anyway, good luck in serving us and we are hopeful that you could fulfill your promises just like what you have promised us in your series of ceramahs and PC's, not only for the folks in Permatang Pauh (PP) but the entire rakyat of the nation. Your warcry outrun (and outsmart) the BN machinery though they came with an army...

Goodies From Pak Lah: More Petrol Hike

It was confirmed now that the 'goodies' from Pak Lah did came in the 'form' of petrol price increase that was being announced just a minute past midnight today. What was seen as a drastic approach has caused the toll to the rakyatl. Petrol increased to RM2.70 (+78sen) from previously RM1.92, and diesel increased to RM2.59 (+RM1.00) from previously RM2.58. The ironic thing about all this is DPM Najib 'assured' Malaysians in February 2008 that there will be no increase after the general...
