The supporters of UMNO’s BN seem to have short memories, by proclaiming that nothing had changed in the three recent by-elections, but they’ve forgotten that in the earlier Kuala Terengganu by-election, they had lost the seat to PR. So, was the overall status quo actually retained in the five by-elections since GE12?

At Bukit Gantang, PR’s Nizar was labelled a ‘traitor’, ‘puppet’, ‘stooge’ by UMNO’s BN, trying to play on PR’s refusal to yield to the forceful Perak state government take-over by UMNO’s BN as an act of treason to HRH Sultan of Perak, but in the end, the majority still chose Nizar & PR.

At Bukit Selambau, the minions of UMNO’s BN in PDRM launched a ‘pre-emptive strike’ with tear gas against a huge crowd at a PR ceramah. The BN-biased mainstream media also played up news of dissatisfied PKR members over the choice of the by-election candidate, trying to make it look like PR was falling apart, but in the end, the majority still chose Manikumar & PR.

Yes, sometimes we cannot believe everything we read in the newspapers or see on television…

The local press downplayed the by-election results with a loud declaration that “status quo” had remained – as if the results were some mere numbers and hence bore no particular significance. What status quo I ask. It is actually a re-affirmation of the “change message” that voters sounded out a year ago during 308 and an endorsement of the 2 recent by-election wins. What is worse for those clowns is between 308 and now umno has created countless new issues to continue to provoke and agitate and dissapoint the people – the lowest being the power grab in perak. Hence, the two bukit victories cannot be recorded as mere numbers or be dismissed as maintaining “status quo”. The two recent wins would stand on their own as independant and further declaration of pakatan’s strength and the people’s voice of discontent with umno and of change.

But of course umno would continue to deceive themselves by dismissing the significance of the two bukit by-election results.

PM Najib has to leave no doubts in people’ minds that he is the real master and not be seen controlled by an octogenarian TDM. For we all know that it is not in the nature of TDM not to meddle in the affairs of his party and government if he has access to it. PM Najib would probably find that the more TDM interferes in the running of the government the more troubles there will be for his administration, the more voters will desert BN in future by-elections.

Nowadays one often hears people grumble; Don’t waste your precious time listening to what those corrupt leaders and politicians say. Come by-elections or general elections, just vote blue eye, rocket or green moon.

Former Chilean dictator Pinochet murdered his opponents by dropping them into the sea, but over here….

Pakatan Rakyat has claimed that it lost the Batang Ai by-election because several ballot boxes were “dropped into the sea” by helicopters and speed boats ferrying the ballots to the counting centre.
Opposition de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim claimed the party had proof of this and would help the Election Commission to probe the case.

/// The Master is one who owns the means of production. The Dame is the female crony of the Master. The little boy are the growing nation that is enslaved and given goodies once in a while but in a Master –Slave sado-masochistically inspired political-economic arrangement. ///

Azly, I thought this article is about Malaysia after the Battle of the Twin Peaks. So, why the reference to Ibu Tien Suharto? I am sure we can find local references.

There is a third way of reading that nursery rhyme. The 3 characters in the nursery rhyme happen to be the new PM’s worse nightmare.

Master – Mahathir
Dame – Rosmah
Little Boy – KJ

Not many can write such a beautiful message inspired by a nursery rhyme….like “Ba Ba Black Sheep”
I believe Azly Rahman friends simply love to invite him and blanja him.. kopi dan bakar roti with kaya…..to tell more jokes with a serious inspiring message.
Yes..if one is sensitive…and do not mix around…one may get real offended with an Australian calling his dear friend…a Bastard.
I used to scold Sheih..the “kickdefella” blog owner with all sorts of filthy words before I start my real message….and we love and respect each other like no others.
Ofcourse…Sheih being a Kelantanese…very refine…very soft spoken….takes all my insults and dare not respond.
Infact..you seldom hear any Muslims utter foul words….as greetings to each other or in their daily conversations…except from Melaka and Penang…….mostly badly influenced by the ever fun loving….Babas and Nyonas.
