Megaman. Honestly I don't know on what basis you derive from to arrive to the conclusion that opposition would win by a 50% margin which I seriously think is too far-fetched.Don't get me wrong though for if it is true I'll be one of the happiest man on earth! The point is that the playing field is stacked so lopsidedly that it would be near impossible for opposition to deny two thirds majority rule to BN, not to mention toppling the regime ‘Impossible to rig an election to the point that they can reverse more than 50% margin.Anything less,maybe.’.

Nobody will ever remember all the good things that you have contributed to the country and society. But when you make one mistake the whole world will start condemning. Banning illegal substance in pig farming (what the hell the previous Chua Jui Meng did during his tenure … sleeping kah. No wonder Chinese scores highest among cancer patients), banning illegal substance in yellow noodle, promoting healthy eating, less sugar and less fat in Mamat stores (too many Malays and Indians suffer heart disease and diabetic and die by age of 50s and early 60s), strict rules for import of Chinese medicines which contain high level of lead, increase salary of doctors in general hospital and I know he is trying very hard cleaning up the mess in the Health Ministry and government hospitals and in the process probably offended many old foxes not forgetting own enemies in MCA due to his sudden rise. Dr Chua, you have done well for all Malaysians. Big Thank You to You (though I don’t vote for MCA). Hope 40% who condemning what you did in your private life are merely your political rivals, not we average Malaysians. If so our education system and country in general is in seriously trouble, quick to approve and forgive those corrupted ministers who squander of billions from the rakyat but slow to remember the good ones who did so much for the rakyat and country. Still remember what you mentioned in one of the press conferences when the hard headed pig farmers decided to go head on with your ministry. Dr Chua, “I am more worry to get my head chop off by 4 million Chinese than thousands of pigs farmers who decide to carrying on using the illegal substances and go on strike”. Salute you Dr Chua for being a Man of Word. You just show us you dare to relinquish all your political power for the sake of the nation, not like some formal Tun Ling Leong Sik, after so many scandals like Berjaya Industry (10 yrs ago), PKFZ and Transmile etc still dare to claim to be the champion for University of Utar. Wake up call for all Malaysians and Chinese in particular in this forum. Hello, are you there!? Unfortunately this is the world that we live in based on feedback from this forum.

You are not assuming that BN is so weak,not forgetting that BN is the incumbent. One would already be considered lucky if there is a close and fair fight. This is where rigging comes in to alter the result like postal votes. If rigging is not an issue, why do you think there was a peaceful protest held by Bersih? Its because reforms are needed to EC to ensure a fair and clean election so that the opposition will have a fair chance. Why do you think there is violence in Kenya? Its maybe partly because of "vote rigging". Let us be realistic megaman. you are not going to get a 50% margin. You are not assuming that BN is so weak,not forgetting that BN is the incumbent.

Impossible to rig an election to the point that they can reverse a more than 50% margin. Anything less, maybe. A small margin (less than 10%), definitely. Therefore, the only way the opposition can survive and continue to serve as a formidable check and balance in parliament is through an overwhelming mandate given by the rakyat.

Whether I’d be nominated to stand for the coming general elections is a matter up to the party leadership. If I do not get the nomination and support from my party, I’d understand.

Politics is all about perception.

Just like 007 movies. CSL's greatest regret is not 'aiyah, I should not have started screwing around'. He said that now he is glad that he is no longer a minister and VIP, just an ordinary citizen, and he can walk into any hotel and book any room without any fear. Carry on, ex-minister! Why is he referred to as a 60 or 61 old man? He was born in 1949 and is 58 years young. Looks like Malaysians can't count properly.
