Nomination papers submitted
Flash - Nominations for Ipoh Timor parliamentary and three state assembly constituencies of Pasir Pinji, Canning and Tebing Tinggi accepted without objections - a one-to-one fight.
Nominations papers for Ipoh Timor submitted to Returning Officer at Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh Nomination Centre at 9.07 am. Also submitted are nomination papers for Thomas Su Keong Siong (Pasir Pinji), Wong Kah Woh (Canning) and Ong Boon Piow (Tebing Tinggi).
This was followed by the submission of the nomination forms for the Barisan Nasional candidates.
Awaiting for conclusion of nomination process, with nomination closed in 10 minutes’ time, followed by one hour for objections.
The curtain rises for the Electoral Battle of the Century - which is just not about the next five years but a vote about the first 50 years of Malaysian nationhood and the next 50 years.

Cool to read the news life from Nomination hall. BTW, why DAP hasn’t put up the full candidate list on the website? Can’t wait to see the list. Any three cornered fight in Sarawak???
February 24th, 2008 at 09: 58.52
I wish all DAP candidates every success. May all our wishes to deny BN a 2/3 majority come true.
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 04.22
Dear Saudara Lim,
PLEASE update a file with all DAP candidate and their election campaign Bank account numbers. This will assist others to deposit any funds directly into their account.
This is effective, safe and helpful for all.
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 05.08
Just go to http://www.dap-elections.com/
For official list, they will be published after all DAP candidates nominated successfully.
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 08.48
The RO just announced the end of the nomination, and giving 1 hour for objection.
Confirmed that there are “1-to-1″ fighting for Parliament and its 3 DUN seats DAP vs BN
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 17.38
Great to know whats going on from DBI. I was there this morning but the crowd is too big so I decided to send my children home first.
I went round the Pasir Pinji market this morning and many are solidly behind DAP.
However, there are still some who are still sympathetic to our course - still believing that the opposition’s hands will still be tied although we win the seats or deny the BN 2/3. Everywhere I go, I will meet this kindof voters especially the teachers, present and retired. For the retired teachers, they are just thinking of their pension. I know because I still meet my ex-teachers every month for morning coffee.
These are our target group. I hope in every ceramah or meet the people sessions, the speakers must address this issue cautiously. We must make them realise that their every votes count and the opposition can do something to change the corrupt BN. This message must reach them.
All the best to you and your team.
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 20.39
Tahniah! semoga menang besar nanti
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 24.41
Saudara Lim,
Pls keep up the fighting spirit in forcing a just, uncorrupted and healthy Malaysia. Too much corruption in the government is causing inflation to the rakyat. Pls follow up closely on 1.2 billion issue and bring justice to rakyat
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 25.42
Hey guys,
I just visited SUPP website. Seems that they have come out with a Say “NO” to DAP rap song.
http://www1.supp.org.my/
This song is modified from the Celcom commercial - “Who Says”
What do you guys think???
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 29.25

Just checked Malaysiakini
So far there are 4 independent candidates nominating in Jelutong, Sungai Siput, Taiping and Lembah Pantai parliamentary seat.
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 32.44
Dear Saudara DAp members,
Hope DAP will also come up with an alternative media for supporters. PAS and Keadilan has announce such media in thestar.
We want to see uncensored news
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 44.06
To me, Malaysia is run by institutionalised bullies, corrupters, gangsters, goons, infidels, liars, monkeys, scumbags, thieves and all that are mentioned in the Book Of Hell!
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 44.46
lets kick the dirt out from the nation administration once and for all….
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 46.16
I wish all DAP candidates every success. May all our wishes to deny BN a 2/3 majority come true.
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 55.30
There will be a deliberate attempt to technically disqualify as many opposition candidates as they can possibly cheat. I hope our guys can be as careful as possible especially from DAP side cos otherwise it will be a big disappointment before we can even see the starting line.
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 58.15
I heard BN will going to protest Kit for his address.
We will know 5 mins later…
February 24th, 2008 at 10: 59.33
However, I guess there is no protest or objection from DAP.
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 00.39
The RO going out to make the official announcement now…
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 02.44
RO just announced the end of objection period.
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 06.27
No official objection filed, and the RO announced the official outcome .
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 07.02
EA, how could they protest address? I thought there’s no restriction of address on parliament seats? i know uncle kit’s address is still in penang but this shouldnt be a problem right??
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 09.39
Yessssssss………
big victory for DAP, PKR n PAS………..
Just change……………………
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 10.24
BN has nothing esle to protest erh!
Kit Siang, awaiting election results on March 08.
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 12.11
bad news from sekinchan. Something wrong with the form. DAP candidate might be disqualified…..
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 18.54
Aim to deny 2/3rds majority. Who knows come March 8th may win more than that.
In my place after the ADUN was dismissed by Pak Lah 3 days ago, the UMNO ” loyal supporters ” closed their Bilik Gerakan and removed all BN and UMNO flags from the streets. Now who is having internal problems.
I hear all these grassroot UMNO leaders are going to swing their votes to the opposition to teach Pak Lah a lesson.
God Bless Malaysia
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 21.35
A big change is sure to realise on march 8 2008. Vote wisely…. vote for a chnage don’t worry about the serier number on the volting slip….You can do it DAP !
Can someone check and see what ever happen in sekinchan for Dap candidate have been resolved?
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 25.08
“I see this as a gimmick to make things difficult for opposition candidates,” said Mustaffa Ali, state election chief for the Islamic opposition party PAS.
Mustaffa also criticised the Election Commission for providing exceptions on the use of indelible ink on voters’ fingers, refusing demands to abolish postal votes which Bersih says are manipulated, and not cleaning up electoral rolls.

February 24th, 2008 at 11: 34.09
i just can’t wait for march 8th. suddenly there is so much hope for malaysia.
think of nude squat case, policewoman tudung case, moorthy case, ravathy case, temple demolishment case, surau demolishment case, you tak suka you boleh keluar dari malaysia case, and the inaction by Pak Lah and his team.
Each time I think of these cases I feel so angry and when I look and my 2 small children, I wonder if there is a future for them in Malaysia.
Just Change It !!
February 24th, 2008 at 11: 47.23
On ON to you uncle Kit and the rest that will be going against BN.
BTW what happened to PKR candidate for Sementa. Failed to turn up? Bought over by UMNO?
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 05.46
latest news from sekinchan. The technical problem was resolved and DAP candidate is succesfully nominated. There will be a battle in sekinchan. What a scare!
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 10.29
Sorry for the wrong info. Just listen to 988 radio online and heard that Sekinchan is now in MCA hands. DAP candidate disqualified. what a bad start for DAP…..
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 14.17
I better not confused you guys. lets wait for the official news. haha..
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 18.08
Sekinchan lost?
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 23.01
Bro Kit & All the Opposition Parties,
Good luck & God Bless!
Let’s get rid of the Arrogant Corrupted Racist BN once & for all!
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 32.55
From what I heard on radio(988), sekinchan was lost. Might be a mistake from the radio station. But heard from others that dap candidate was succesfully nominated. let’s wait for the confirmation news.
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 40.21
Online Sin Chew reported that Ng Suee Lim (DAP) N.04 Sekinchan was disqualified due to wrong nomination date in the form.
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 42.50
Dear MALAYSIANS please remember these
” A NATION OF SHEEP BEGET A GOVERNMENT OF WOLVES”
Come election day, KICK THEM OUT .!!
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 45.59
We pray that the oposition, especially DAP will perform better and achieve its target number of seats. God bless DAP.
Their members should unite and not continue to sqauble over seats allocations, withdrawing from the parties and what not antics, cutting membership cards in front of government controlled TV camera, becoming a villain, like the one in Selangor.
It is sad that many DAP members and leaders are still ignorant of the real struggle represented by the party.
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 50.17
chong zhemin…. u’re so funny , don’t u ?
=)
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 52.28
It is a criminal waste to get the nomination paper disqualified on technical ground. It should never have happened, more so for oposition, and handed over the seat without a fight to the opposite.
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 54.26
Latest,sekinchan case already kow tim
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 54.52
Sekinchan ok after scare. Sementa state seat in Kapar parliamentary (Selangor) lost to BN as the Keadilan candidate did not turn up.
February 24th, 2008 at 12: 59.18
This is another bonker. How can a candidate fail to turn up, what a shame on the person and the party concerned for selecting him a bonker to be a potential people’s leader??
This is an easy fight for BN. Hope there won’t be too many of such cases at the end of the nomination day.
February 24th, 2008 at 13: 47.16
Heard most of the sekinchan chinese decided to vote DAP once again.
February 24th, 2008 at 13: 57.05
GOD BLESS THE OPPOSITION!
TOGETHER WE SHALL CONQUER!
PRAY HARD BN WILL LOOSE PLENTY OF SEATS!!!
February 24th, 2008 at 14: 21.25
Did the police create a roadblock and stopped the Sementa candidate from going to the nomination hall? Or UMNO members kidnapped him?
February 24th, 2008 at 16: 18.53

>… Husam said something about the BN calon not signing the nomination form.
>If the BN calon is disqualified, then PAS will win a seat — not sure if it’s Husam’s seat.
>> Same thing with Nik Aziz’s opponent in Pengkalan Pasir.
But his press secretary said that the SPR (Elections Commission) overruled that and Nik Aziz has to “lawan (fight)â€.
…SPR double standard ?
…So obvious SPR dirty trick seen by all on 24-2-2008.

February 24th, 2008 at 19: 04.19
MAKE SURE that those INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES lose their underwears!! Spoil sports!! nincompoopS!! What are they up to?
If Police reports have been made that the candidates were deliberately prevented to reach the RO’s office,then there should be allowed to nominate together with the presentation of the Police REports! Talking about practising democracy! It certainly looks like BN are desperate and are trying to take all kinds of action to frustrate BR[ Barisan Raayt]!!!
February 24th, 2008 at 19: 28.22
PKR needs to come down to earth. They claim to want to form the next government but can’t even provide candidates for the seats it wants to claim from DAP. So many seats won uncontested. What a let down…
February 24th, 2008 at 19: 40.39
Yeah it’s disappointing that seats were lost even before voters could decide.
http://malaysiawatch3.blogspot.com/2008/02/nominating-candidate-for-elections-need.html
February 24th, 2008 at 19: 55.11
More technicalities..
>>Mind you, in a number of other cases where the BN candidates were alleged to have balls-ed up with their registration forms, ‘twas only the ‘returning officers’ who saved them, in many cases not even providing any reason to the opposition why their objections were overruled and the BN candidates’ forms accepted. The Boleh-decisions
In one case Malaysiakini reported that PAS candidate Dr Lo’ Lo’ Mohd Ghazali (for Titiwangsa) objected to the nomination of BN’s Aziz Jamaluddin Mohd Tahir on the ’suspicion’ that Aziz’ statutory declaration did not contain the required stamp duty payment.
hahaha - EC chairman Abdul Rashid has been too clever by half.
It seems Aziz Jamaluddin also contravened election laws when he allegedly “paid his deposit with a personal cheque”. Cek calon BN di sahkan Bolehwan lah! hahaha
But the Election Commission officers - led by returning officer Che Yahya Che Soh - refused to allow the PAS team to go through Aziz’s nomination papers to verify the claims.
Che Yahya said he received directions from his superiors to the effect neither candidate are allowed look through the other’s nomination papers. What he probably meant was PAS couldn’t look at BN’s papers to see if there were indeed errors, like no stamp duty being paid
Very dodgy lah. But mind you, this is BN Boleh Land.
>> Please at all costs traced what personal cheque nos. for ‘election Writ’ to disqualify BN candidate. Later replaced with a ‘backdated bank draft’ or by ‘Cash deposit’ with ‘backdated KEW38 resit’?
February 24th, 2008 at 20: 47.37
“Sementa state seat in Kapar parliamentary (Selangor) lost to BN as the Keadilan candidate did not turn up.” KIT
This is not a good omen! PKR need to explain.

February 24th, 2008 at 21: 18.38
This is not a good omen! PKR need to explain.
Yes PKR must explain. It could be the candidate chosen did not want to contest in the first place. I got the feeling that the opposition is so short of quality candidates.
February 24th, 2008 at 21: 22.36
waterfrontcoolie Says:
MAKE SURE that those INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES lose their underwears!! Spoil sports!! nincompoopS!! What are they up to?
Could be financed by BN. Notice that all highly contested constituencies have independents. Must try to get the message out to the voters in those constituencies. Cowardice tactic by BN again.
February 24th, 2008 at 21: 32.49
“I got the feeling that the opposition is so short of quality candidates.” limkamput
I’d agree if by ‘quality’ you mean candidates who have integrity. We must remember that PKR is still essentially a splinter group of UMNO, with leaders spurned by UMNO’s top leadership years earlier, and those who were tainted by their loyalty to Anwar Ibrahim who saw no way up the ladder. They make easy targets for UMNO’s dirty tactics.
February 24th, 2008 at 22: 14.30
A real brave ‘Patriot’.
An 89-year-old grandmother … , an independent candidate for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat.
Possibly the oldest candidate in the 12th general election, Maimun Yusuf .
The divorced grandmother of seven said she had attempted to stand for elections four times previously, but didn’t qualify because of technicalities and a lack of documentation.
>> “I want to right the wrongs and bring down the price of essentials,†she said in her thick Terengganu Malay accent.
I believe she can be a better MP than the BN Umno MPs .
She talk sense, straight to the point , from rakyat’s hearts.
How about vote her into Parliament.
February 24th, 2008 at 22: 58.18
“I believe she can be a better MP than the BN Umno MPs”
Unfortunately, the question is not who can be a better MP in Parliament but who has the resources to garner support so he or she could be an MP.
February 25th, 2008 at 00: 25.34
BN will do everything with “Black Hand” assistance…
Anyway SPR no so clean as its pronounce…
February 25th, 2008 at 00: 45.51
I know it had been a very tiring day for candidates submitting their nomination papers with meet-the-people session and press conference after that then the DAP Ipoh Timor ceremah that followed till near to 11 pm. Someone sent me this and I like to share with you all. Just sit back, relax and enjoy…

May God bless all DAP candidates to win a great victory on 8 March 08 GE ! Come on, work all out and whole heartedly to gain support from the grassroots, RAKYAT and turn all negatvie voters become positive workers for DAP ! Vote for DAP = vote for a better Malaysia for us and our next 50 years generation ! Believe no more in MCA,MIC and UMNO’s lies and sins!
February 25th, 2008 at 12: 30.19
At the beginning, before GE we can see the ‘dirty tactics’ from BN with EC and Police backing up their acts to stop a fair and clean campaigns and nomination. BN will be ’seen’ to win 2/3 majority and many of these voters have no choice but to vote for BN because their livinghood is controlled by BN.
BN will never need to ‘kowtow’ to rakyat anymore from here.
BN can only be ‘taken down’ from inside.
What drives BN heroes together is monies and monies that ‘buys’ power.
With the new replacing the older ones, BN will be facing more internal demands rather than public cries. BN need to balance their wealth with the heroes and everyone just won’t let go of their shares. Anyway, KJ will be the ONE - chosen to bring down BN and also UMNO.
That’s great news to Malaysian.
February 25th, 2008 at 18: 50.22
Uncle Kit,
Since postal voters numbers can be verified, can someone tally it and compare it to last GE’s figures. Why the sudden increase?
March 1st, 2008 at 22: 18.12
Too bad I wasnot able to go to listen to the DAP talks on the 1Mar in Penang.
It was raining and it was fully pack up and jammeds up the roads.
This shows how much supporters DAP have.
Like to suggest to put it to ” LIVE ” talks in the internet so that some of the people will be able towatch and listen live if they are not able to make it there.
Feel bad that I was not able to go there on that day.
Anwy…You have my vote!!!!
