luckily, tok aziz has a strong heart. mine was pumping like hell when i viewed it live on internet…nearly pengsan for no good reason.

bn’s the winner here bcs there’s always the blame-game that bn used dirty tactics together with ec this time!!! all these are un-proven of course.

however, its strange because based on the turn-out, bn should have lost heavily. maybe its because of muhyiddin’s famous ‘ugut’ that awake the kelantanese. from this, we know that power and money can really turn things around and not religion or race.

hopefully bn will now spend like hell to the +5000 voters who ‘begged’ for changes!!!

The prognosis is most favourable …”

I call the above famous last words. Only a mere 65 votes. Mr LKS … what happened to that resounding victory that was expected?

I think its time to do some soul searching for PR. The tide is changing. It is with all the bickering and nonsense that PR is faced with that has allowed BN to gain ground against you all.

Wake up! Smell the kopi-O. Time for you to change your ways. Talk talk talk … all talk big only. The result is a slap in the face. When will you all stop the arrogance and learn not to underestimate BN? If you want to take over then maybe its time you all learn to be humble and work with the people.

It is the people who are the ones casting the vote. And stop saying the loss was due to a bribe of a bridge.

Hannah Yeoh’s article is a clear signal that the people are lising faith in PR. What are you going to do? Write more articles about OTK and challenge PM more?

AND its not like BN did not have a chance at all! What is happening that Muhiyiddin is holding the bag on his own with this one? There is a definite lack of big guns on part of BN in this one.

Muhyiddin did the right thing. LKS is wrong.

Pakatan Rakyat (PR)/PAS cannot remain sanguine. Last General Election PAS candidate won by just 1,352 majority. BN needs only 10 percent swing to recapture this seat.

The threat to Opposition is not Muhyiddin’s carrot of RM7-10 million bridge. Or Najib’s slew of 11 reforms. It is the enemy within.

In O8 GE, there was no power struggle within PAS. Now there is – subterranean. (Remember how in post mortem some said BN lost because of internal sabotage?) I repeat: BN needs only 10 percent swing to recapture this seat.

There is possibly a strong faction still favouring Unity Talk with UMNO that Nik Aziz opposed. Even a minority of 10 out of the 23 PAS reps came out publicly to support Nik Aziz’s stand. No one is sure about the remaining 13′s position. [The infighting is not confined to PAS’s Malay Muslims. Deputy president Yap Kok Seng of Kelantan Pas Supporters Club (reportedly) at that time advised leaders who supported the unity government proposal to stay out of the campaign in Manek Urai!]

Even when Nik Aziz evemtually had his way and got Hadi to sign along with Anwar & Kit PR’s joint statement against bilateral Unity Talk/Govt with UMNO, the matter did not end but has taken another form under euphemism of “intellectual talk”. Of late Nik Aziz also relents to pressure by conceding intellectual talk on Religion is OK.

Now Manek Urai is Nik Aziz’s backyard. I read somewhere posters and banners on Manek Urai’s main road are dominated by pictures of Nik Aziz. Conspicuously missing are posters with picture of rival party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang. A by-election loss in would reflect adversely Nik Aziz’s leadership. It will represent a truimph for the rival faction lobbying for unity with UMNO. Why did this faction in the first place succumb to blandishment of collaborating with UMNO under the auspices/pretext of Unity talk now euphemestically described as intellectual talk? Whatever constitutes incentives then (for Unity Talk leading to Unity Govt) are still present to galvanise a sabotage of Nik Aziz’s candidate in Manek Urai, in the process Nik Aziz’s leadership itself so that the faction favouring UMNO will achieve their ends.

It is not only PAS but divisions and infighting amongst wider PR : as sheriff singh has noted “Wee Choo Keong who speaks Kelate lingo didn’t appear (did he?). Instead he spends his time accusing his PR (DAP) brothers of conspiring with criminals.” Sheriff also said “I am reliably informed that as of this morning, this by-election will be very close which will catch many by surprise”.

I won’t be surprised.

I agree with Boh Liao. Honestly, we don’t even know who PAS is, with all the unity talks going on. Are they really a part of Pakatan Rakyat or they a component party-to-be of Barisan Nasional? Only God knows. For all you know, there will be quite a number of protest votes because of this.

If the Federal Government has the sincere care for welfare the Rakyat they would have already carried out the development projects in Manek Urai and elsewhere regardless whether the constituencies is under BN or PR since they are already the Federal Government. This kind of corrupt mentality of bribing the people with so-called development projects and goodies during the election campaigning is very sickening, distasteful and loathful.

Thus it re-affirmed that 1Malaysia the PM is promoting is just a slogan and BN/UMNO leaders are just corrupt, power crazy and self-centred and Not People First nor Performance Now.
