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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
