Winds are already blowing and I won’t be surprised if they call for a dissolution of parliament at short notice and hold the next GE at lightning speed.

BA should fully focus on East Malaysia and East Coast as petroluem are highly the name of the game.
Anyway, the importation of voters from BN to these constitutional seats are massively arranged lately.

DAP must win more sits in Sarawak & Sabah. Put more effort in these two states and you will make your presence in the Paliment more meaningful.

Yes, a grateful servant of BN whose children studied overseas and could be working overseas, and whose assets are also outside of Bolehland.

Former science, technology and environment minister Law Hieng Ding delivered his farewell speech in Parliament on 29.10.07:

blah…blah….blah….. [then he talked about his dream - any resemblance to ML King's dream?]…. my dream of a future Malaysia which our future generations can truly be proud of should comprise four main elements – (1) Green mountains (2) Clean water (3) Clear skies and (4) Rich people.

….Ã¢â‚¬ËœRich’ Malaysians also mean a nation of people rich in culture and humility, rich in family and moral values, rich in knowledge and education, rich in understanding and spirit of cooperation, rich in love and compassion, rich in discipline and culture of working hard, rich in the spirit of religious and racial harmony and tolerance, and as a result of which rich economically and financially.

….The BN Government has been the mainstay of this country for the past few decades. It is a trusted, reliable and workable power-sharing concept. I have no doubt that it will be the party to form the government of this country for many more decades to come.

….Thankfully, the majority of Malaysians are a grateful lot and they have continued to support and respect the BN.

So said a grateful BN politician.

Votes given to DAP will not weaken the Chinese, it will not weaken the Malay and the Indian.

theStar, 30.10.07: Every vote given to the DAP will only weaken the Chinese representation in the Government, said Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin.

I can see that the Chinese have lost their representation since 26 years ago when The Done Master were conning his way up.
All along, Chinese seems to be believe that prosperities are lasting.
They worked hard each day to make a better home. They want what is best for their next generations.
Now, with Mr Boneless Man remarks, it’s just to confirmed that the Chinese are idiots born daily to serve the Ketuanan.

My bet is towards the end of 2008 or early 2009.
He knows he’s a 1 term PM, so he has to stretch it out.
Early next year, petrol and toll will rise. He will need at least 6 to 9 months for the rakyat’s anger to subside (Rakyat mudah lupa), before he calls fo the GE.
After that it’s sayonara from AAB, sailing off into the sunset with his new wife, aboard the yatch that is not his.

With a much corrupted administration and judiciary in the country, I see no point in having an election. BN will cheat openly for another thumping victory and where would it bring us to. Only to see more foreign thugs getting malaysianised, getting more frustrated to discover how unethical the EC can be. And when it gets challenged in court, we shall see much more dirt in the making. I would think a boycott by all opposition parties will be more effective. Frustrate the entire system and plead to DYMM to sack the entire administration, and reform the judiciary first before we go back to the electorial process on the level. Hope to see you guys 10 Nov.

public anger over rising prices and a looming US slowdown could spell trouble for the government as it heads towards elections.

As we all can easily predict over the coming UMNO GA, those leaders and their ‘supporters’ will raise sensitive issues again just to remind those outsiders about their ‘presence’ and also create that ‘feeling good’ Ketuanan mentality.
Of course, those leaders will act along the play and claim that it’s their culture and rights.
Anyway, lowerly breed mindset with below performance mentality with ‘gaya mesti ada’ style …. don’t waste time on them.

Enjoy the shows and performances as these people are doing their best to ‘con’ their supporters and members about their future.

As we all know Sdr. Lim is very conservative in prediction. Which means election is 100% in the next six months. Like some readers says, the primary reason is about price increase that cannot be delayed anymore.

This is a perfect election to point to UMNO flawed policy – eventually all of us have to pay for their failure. Whether its the NEP, the corruption, the subsidies, Islamization, the messed up judiciary, UMNO policies eventually makes everyone pay for their so-called ‘compromise’ except for the UMNO/BNputras who are rich enough to afford it.

To this end, I want to touch on Hissamuddin’s announcement that they will be brandishing the Keris in the coming UMNO GA. I want to congratulate him. He single handedly make the issue from that of race relations to that of UMNOputra self-interest!!!

At this juncture, the keris is no longer about whatever he says it is or used to be. At this point its about him not willing to admit he made a mistake and hence its about him protecting his own interest. He is after the highest office in the the country and at this juncture cannot admit he made a big mistake or he will be seen as to be unfit for that office.

Yes, the Keris is about UMNOputra me-ism i.e., Its about their self-interest, its about them never admitting they have been wrong badly. If you think about it its very appropriate me-ism symbol. The Keris is a dress-knife really – it looks pretty but really in a real battle like war, its useless. Much like UMNO Youth threats these days – its hollow. Carrying out those threats would actually kill of UMNO legitimacy in ruling Malaysia.

Yes, the Keris, like the Benzs,the four wives, the bungalows, etc now is the ultimate about UMNOputra cries of me! me! me!!!!!.

My bomoh whose services can be bought for RM2.00 says that there is another possibility not mentioned by Kit here.

Before the year is out according to him, there will be a declaration of emergency and Parliament will be suspended. My bomoh does not know if Parliament is sitting right now. He does not understand what ‘sitting’ means. Can you blame him??

My gut feeling is GE will be held before year ends –end of Nov or early Dec 2007.I think and tend to agree with Godfather’s sizing of the situation ie the external economic condition.The earlier they hold it the better the chance of avoiding a situation whereby the turbulent external environment (Oil reaching US100 a barrel is a great possibility before year ends and US subprime mortgage bubble burst has not vented out fully yet)will arrive to impart such a force that will affect cost of living detrimental to BN’s expectation of an easy win.
However what is important is Sheriff Singh’s question ie
regardless of when is DAP prepared?
The odds against DAP is massive—gerrymandering,non malay population made much smaller by design,postal votes, phantom
votes,short campaign, denial of TV and radio time and all kinds of dirty tactics.DAP’s weapon via the internet has only a small impact and whatever it is it will be on the urban area ( 1 million people say in an urban area will give you 12 or 13 MPs whereas the same 1 million in rural areas will give you probably give 60MPs or more).The crux of the problem is the Malay heartland.Question is can PKR or PAS change that?

I guess it is better if BN call an election b4 Anwar is free to contest.
Doing so will free Anwar to provide his fierceful attacks on UMO throughout Malaysia. Anwar will not need to worry his own constinuecy, he will have all his time to help opposition members to fight UMO and to win.
Anwar will easily get into Parliament if there is a by-election held a few months later when he again becomes eligible to stand as a candidate..
A by-election will need to be held if any of the UMO MP died suddenly. If they don’t die, one of the elected Parti Keadilan MPs can just opt to quit and force a by-election to make way for Anwar!
