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???

I wish all DAP candidates every success. May all our wishes to deny BN a 2/3 majority come true.

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.

Just go to http://www.dap-elections.com/
For official list, they will be published after all DAP candidates nominated successfully.

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

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.

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

Just checked Malaysiakini
So far there are 4 independent candidates nominating in Jelutong, Sungai Siput, Taiping and Lembah Pantai parliamentary seat.
#12 by cfcluvdap on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 10:32 am
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

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!

#16 by toyolbuster on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 10:55 am
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.
#17 by EA on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 10:58 am
I heard BN will going to protest Kit for his address.
We will know 5 mins later…
#18 by EA on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 10:59 am
However, I guess there is no protest or objection from DAP.
#19 by EA on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:00 am
The RO going out to make the official announcement now…
#20 by EA on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:02 am
RO just announced the end of objection period.
#21 by EA on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:06 am
No official objection filed, and the RO announced the official outcome .
#22 by Chong Zhemin on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:07 am
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??

#25 by Chong Zhemin on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:12 am
bad news from sekinchan. Something wrong with the form. DAP candidate might be disqualified…..
#26 by drmaharajahrk on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:18 am
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
#27 by malaysianboleh on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:21 am
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?

“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.

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 !!
#30 by Anok Kelate on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 11:47 am
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?
#31 by Chong Zhemin on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:05 pm
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!
#32 by Chong Zhemin on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:10 pm
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…..
#33 by Chong Zhemin on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:14 pm
I better not confused you guys. lets wait for the official news. haha..
#34 by savedap on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:18 pm
Sekinchan lost?
#35 by PSM on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:23 pm
Bro Kit & All the Opposition Parties,
Good luck & God Bless!
Let’s get rid of the Arrogant Corrupted Racist BN once & for all!
#36 by Chong Zhemin on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:32 pm
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.
#37 by skyquest2000 on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:40 pm
Online Sin Chew reported that Ng Suee Lim (DAP) N.04 Sekinchan was disqualified due to wrong nomination date in the form.

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.

#41 by shortie kiasu on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:52 pm
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.
#42 by ah5159 on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:54 pm
Latest,sekinchan case already kow tim
#43 by Kit on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:54 pm
Sekinchan ok after scare. Sementa state seat in Kapar parliamentary (Selangor) lost to BN as the Keadilan candidate did not turn up.
#44 by shortie kiasu on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 12:59 pm
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.
#45 by ah5159 on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 1:47 pm
Heard most of the sekinchan chinese decided to vote DAP once again.
#46 by grace on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 1:57 pm
GOD BLESS THE OPPOSITION!
TOGETHER WE SHALL CONQUER!
PRAY HARD BN WILL LOOSE PLENTY OF SEATS!!!
#47 by carloz28 on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 2:21 pm
Did the police create a roadblock and stopped the Sementa candidate from going to the nomination hall? Or UMNO members kidnapped him?

…SPR telah memansuhkan bayaran tersebut tanpa memaklumkan kepada calon-calon PAS.
…”SPR berbuat demikian untuk membantu calon BN khususnya Umno Terengganu yang menghadapi masalah pemilihan calon,” katanya.
>”Kami (PAS) hanya mendapat tahu pemansuhan bayaran tersebut kira-kira jam 5 pagi tadi,” katanya, dalam sidang media selepas proses penamaan calon di Pejabat Tanah dan Daerah Marang hari ini.
#49 by Wisdom above on Sunday, 24 February 2008 - 5:34 pm
To YB L K Siang,
>>Please help Pas to file ‘writ of motion’ in Election High Court.
Extracts from Jed Yoong,
Food for thoughts….
>… 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.
>>To help & beg & remind BN calon “to sign later†unto the earlier blank nomination forms after nominations closed at 10am ?
>>Pas Legal advisers should remember to file a ‘writ of motion’ in Election High court tomorrow to disqualify these 2 BN calons.
“the SPR (Elections Commission) overruled that †should be punished under the Election ACT.
