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...

Pakatan Rakyat Dinner in Bidor

I attended the Pakatan Rakyat dinner today with my uncle and aunts who were staunch supporters of Pakatan Rakyat and big fans of YB Nizar, YB Nga Kor Ming and YB Gobind Singh Deo. This was my 3rd political ceramah in one month ever since touching down in Malaysia from the UK. This dinner is to celebrate the victory of Pakatan Rakyat in Bukit Gantang. The ticket was already 'booked' exclusively by my uncle 2 weeks before the event, and guess what, we are the early birds who booked the...

Perak Crisis: Assemblymen ‘Ensemble’ Under the Tree

Pakatan Rakyat Perak made history today. YB Sivakumar and the Knights of Silver State brave through the thugs, the likes of PEKIDA, UMNO Youths and UMNO special branch - the FRU to the State Assembly building. As usual, BN-UMNO -ed machineries via the shameless police with absolute cowardice managed to lock the building down and barred entrances to stop the assembly. Mob tactics were used against the PR ADUNS to harass and intimidate them. Surprisingly, the police on guard did nothing but...

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...

P44=PAA=Pakatan Ambil Alih

Good thing DSAI's case was bailable, even at 20K, PR had nothing to lose. This will at least allow DSAI to concentrate on his campaigns in Permatang Pauh soon. I like to analyse situations, and I have found indications that shows the crushing defeat of BN soon is VERY imminent. Why did I say so? This is because P44: Permatang Pauh itself show signs in it's parliamentary numbering. Check this out; Permatang Pauh is P44. If you 'alphabatisize' the 44, the closest match to an alphabet has...
