He got a stake driven through his heart and now rests in pieces. Oh..welcome back Count. So the world is fair after all...even Count Dracula is afforded resurrection. But don't know why it took 5 days and not 3. Anyway, Count, enjoy your re-incarnation, resurrecton or whatever!. Now, did I say the world is fair? Hmmmm..may be not, otherwise that ec chairman would have taken measures to uphold 'caretaker government' concept or replied to YB Lim's letter explaining the reasons for not doing so rather than asking his secretary to bulls**t his way around.

But here the questions are (1) whether it is true or not true, in law or reality, that once the suit is filed, the election has to be postponed (unless caretaker govt is conceded); and (2) what is the strategy behind forcing a delay in election - does it favour of the Opposition; does it imply that Opposition is not ready or what?

Instead, the immediate response of the government will be a total ban on all media from reporting the court’s declaration. Besides, none of those enforcement agencies such as the Election Commission, the ACA, the AG or the Police will do anything to enforce the court’s ruling. I believe it will be more beneficial for DAP to devote its full energies and financial resource for the general election. I will do my part by donating to the DAP election fund.

Somehow I cannot bring myself to believe that DAP didn’t have RM50,000 to defend public interest.- posted above Perhaps at this point with the GE so near, the said amount has already been earmarked for posters etc. At other times it would not have been a problem. To use it up, would mean inability to pay the printers etc. I don’t know what to say. Somehow I cannot bring myself to believe that DAP didn’t have RM50,000 to defend public interest.- posted above
