Certainly you can’t be realising only now that this country lack free and fair election. In fact this country lacks more than free and fair election. Election to municipalities and local authorities for example is another big issue that the oppositions should be focusing on. I am sorry if I irritate you. Why didn’t you come out earlier given your ability and connection? Ishwar Nahappan, May I know where were you and what were you doing all these years.

It is no different from what it was during the 22 years Mahathir ruled with an iron fist. He liberally used the ISA to stifle all opposition. HE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS IF THE GREAT MORONIC LEADERS OF THE MIC, MCA AND GERAKAN HAD LIFTED A FINGER TO RAISE THEIR OBJECTION. The fact is these leaders could not or would not question Mahathir (aka UMNO) because they were more interested in their positions in the cabinet and the crumbs thrown to them. As Saint pointed out, the few Indians doing well in the corporate sector are there because of their diligent, hardwork and enterprising nature. Tony Fernandez bought an ailing debt-ridden airline for RM1/-. Mahathir did not give him a handout. Mahathir for all his shrewdness would have thought he was blessing Tony Fernandez with bankruptcy. Almost all the Indians and Chinese who support the BN are the party officials and members who have siphoned off all the wealth meant for the respective communities. It is not too late to rectify the situation. The important thing is to make a start. First internal party feuds and open declaration of leaving the Opposition parties should stop at once. The BN is just waiting to capitalize on these. With the mass media in their control, they can send all the wrong messages to the people about the Opposition. Second not enough publicity is given about all the corruption and wrong-doings of the BN. Not all are computer savvy. Only the educated people go online to read the blogs. I am yet to see fliers highlighting what the layman is interested. Thirdly the masses do not know when and where the Opposition parties (DAP, PKR) have their political rallies/dialogues and 'ceramas'. The candidates standing for a particular constituency should make it a point to visit areas supportive of their cause as well as other areas to gauge the reasons for their reluctance to vote for the Opposition. Make a concerted effort to woo them over. It is not easy to break the BN monopoly on money politics but disgruntled and dissatisfied people have been known to take whatever is given to them and still vote for the oppostition. Finally do the Opposition have moles in the midst of the BN election machinery to find out what plans they have to use Mat Rempits and other thugs to intimidate voters and bringing in phantom voters. There is not much time. Let us put our resources (meagre or not) and energies to see that the BN is denied a 2/3 majority. VOTE FOR DAP!

To me these TVs do not exist. We do get better coverage from Aljezzira. Bn and company are only day dreaming that they will win hands down. Well, the answer is blowing in the wind and the Goons are for a real sock. I only pray that God will be with all malaysians who are votting to make their best choice. The opposition parties are also malaysians and citizens of this country. Why not give them a chance. Now I leave the people to deside. Is there TV1,TV2,TV3 and NTV7?. To me these TVs do not exist.

DAP need new leaders who are capable enough to convince the people's support. With their constant internal squabbles, one may wonder if Kit is being too soft and too compromising. Many characters have come and gone through the DAP doors, and in the transitional process, have caused great damage with their selfish, power crazy attitude, casting a very Chinese based image for DAP when in actual fact, we all know its a multi-race based party. We hope you can play a more active role at the top echelon and complement our Karpal Singh up there and bring in more of the other races to join DAP. We must be grateful and thankful to Samy Velu for being such an idiot all these while. He and many others like him in the BN zoo have made DAP a much stronger party. All the best.

Now they stop their cars, check their I/Cs and question them as to why they are on the roads, where they come from and where they are going to? Next they will walk into restaurants to harass Indians. They will ask why you are eating there and not at home? The police will look at every Indian as an Opposition supporter or a Hindraf member.
