Great news. BUT, its not over yet. Don’t be too optimistic. These BN guys can still do wonders. Please ensure all PKR members are on their toes for any untoward incidents and any hanky pankies by the BN guys during the ballot count in all polling stations. Heard that there r 3 buses load of “BN voters” coming to PP have been sighted by a fellow PKR member. Heard also he was arrested by police. We need all the help from all to get this situation in control by PKR.
Best of luck.

YES!! VICTORY AT PERMATANG PAUH!!
Postal votes can only help if the margin of win is small, not when it’s a huge majority. And besides, for PP, there are only 500 postal votes. BN is buried!

This is great if the final results bear out this projection.
It’ll be be a real cause for celebration granted the lower turnout of about 65%.
So it must a larger number of Malaysians in Permatang Pauh have embraced the agenda of change.
Forward ho, Anwar to Putrajaya you shall go!

They have publicly told Permatang Pauh – if DSAI is guilty, there will be another by-election which they claimed it is costly, wasting people time etc.

If Anwar wins officially, its like an angel has come down to save us!! May God / Allah bless these wise permatang pauh residents for their far-sight of a more harmonies multi-racial malaysians and hoprfully that PK can guide each and everyone to better and more prosperous future.
however, i fear BN will not go down well and accept defeat because of their ever ignorance attitude. they will start to make up fabulous stories as an excuse to go head-hunting arrests people especially oppositions via police and the infamous ISA . they will for sure even threaten their own MPs not to jump ship at this time so WE MUST BE STRONG to oppose their barbaris acts if this should happen !!
As for BN MPs, this is the MOST PERFECT TIME to make the BOLD MOVE to jump ship for the betterment of MALAYSIAN no matter we are black,brown,blue or what-ever color we are. To these BN who think they should do it for their children future sake and for MALAYSIA RAKYAT, let me be the first person to BOW AND SALUTE YOU DATUKS !! you will go down to HISTORY WITH HONOR AND DIGNITY instead of other scam-bag BN who shall be spit and curse forever !!! i will really their children who has to endure and face the rakyat’s wrath for their wrong-doings !!

People of Malaysia,
We need to remember that it is always hard for any ruling party to relinquish power even if they lose to a democratically elected opposition. Two striking examples jumps to mind: Myanmar and Zimbabwe.
So don’t think that BN will quietly leave town. Too much is at stake, especially all their dirty dealings. What LGE has uncovered is just the tip of the iceberg.
To unseat BN, all patriotic Malaysians need to remain resolute.
And RESOLUTE SHALL ALL MALAYSIANS BE!!
DSAI – WELL DONE. PP is just but a small step. More hurdles need to be overcome and OVERCOME SHALL OBSTACLES BE as Malaysia awaits its RIGHTFUL PM!

Don’t be so happy. The count is not yet over. Arif will never lose and UMNO will never fall. I want to caution those who are being over excited here. It sounds as if Anwar has been elected as PM. Mind your words and open your eye wide and see who is the government here!

I just want to give my final word to those who vote against UMNO, be responsible for your action and be ready to bear the consequence.

Kasim Amat
What “consequence”? Is that another veiled threat inspired by the bully tactics of your bosses?
Democracy is about choices. Citizens as taxpayers are free to make their choices. These choices must be respected, whichever they go.
So, poo-dah. Stop issuing threats. Don’t be a bully. A bully is someone who is unsure of himself or herself. Go figure.

Kasim Amat, what happened la? You were going to bury Anwar’s politics? Instead, you, together with your BN beruks have been buried in PP.
Hear ye, hear ye, this kucing kurap has lost all face, so he is now threatening we should be “ready to bear the consequence”. Kasim aka Beruk aka JK aka Kaki Perempuan, we are ready for you! You make sure you dont run and hide behind your FIL. You RAT!

Saw YB Gopalakrishnan handcuffed at the Seberang Jaya hospital. He said he was okay although he appeared to be in a state of shock.
At the time of reporting, he is understood to sstill be at the emergency centre awaiting examination and treatment. He has already been x-rayed.
His sons are still in the police station lock-up.

Kasim
Your earlier posting about who the government is. What’s wrong with you?
Do you mean to tell me that we must “fear” the government? Is the government you purport to represent founded on FEAR? And must the government you purport to represent operate on BULLY tactics such as THREATS and all that?
Poo-dah!
#103 by devilmaster on Tuesday, 26 August 2008 - 9:10 pm
Yes. You’re right. A govt with less than 49% of the rakyat votes, and this is inclusive of 5-8% of phantom voters.

our goverment is pakatan rakyat while urs is the badawi….
#105 by lkt-56 on Tuesday, 26 August 2008 - 9:11 pm
We are all born with with a free will. Kasim Amat has chosen to believe in BN politics whereas the majority here has chosen to give Anwar a chance to show us that he can do a better job.
Let us not quarrel and leave brother Kasim to get over his sadness. His reaction is only natural. If the results has been the other way around most of us here would be unhappy too.
Give him a break folks!
#106 by Vidya Young on Tuesday, 26 August 2008 - 9:12 pm
Kasim Amat, not enough BN was bashed at PP today, you have come here for more bashing? Hang around, we will bash imbeciles like you to pulp!

Don’t bash Kasim Amat.
He is just telling all of us that his government, the government he purports to represent, is founded on FEAR and adopted BULLY tactics like THREATS to turn tax-paying citizens into COWS.
If I am in the government, I do not think I want him as my spokesman … unless he is telling the truth.
Kasim, now you explain or poo-dah!

Hei Kasim, with the entire mainstream media (broadcast and print) on BN’s payroll, with the entire BN leadership (from AAB to Najis, Hisap Mu Din et al) arriving at PP, with all the vote rigging and vote buying, you FAILED miserably. People of PP cannot be bought. But you, you still don’t get the picture.
I say man, had you been to Oxford, you would get it. But then, you studied at Oxfart, didn’t you? That explains it. Hahahaha……..

The margin is certainly bigger than Wan Azizah’s.

lkt-56, total voters in P44 is only 38,000++, so, the numbers must be wrong.

Thanks my friend…. Honestly nobody knows the true numbers because results are posted enthusiastically by bloggers. Just thought it would be helpful if we can have at least some indication of what’s happening. My information are from Harris Ibrahim Blog which seems the least congested.
What matters is that despite the Sodomy allegation this results shows that negatives deeds begets negative outcome and ….

Elizabeth John of NST reported from the Vote Tally Centre
at 21:14 :
After the counting of ballot papers of 99 polling streams, the EC has announced that PKR’s Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is leading with 29,195 votes. BN’s Datuk Ariff Shah Omar Shah has garnered 14,444 votes while AKIM’s Hanafi Hamat only managed 89. Only results from 7 streams have yet to be tabulated.
ps: I, too am confused as the total votes casts seem to have exceed 40,000

I waited for this day to come and to hear the good news is like the sun is shining brightly at night. All those MIC ladies who went to PP without any shame after losing terribly during the last GE, what do they have to say now. Samy value said their members are doing door to door campaign, dia orang dapat penyapu ka. I hope the sodomy, economy, saiful mee, Nalla mee will end soon. What new tricks do the UMNO beruks going to have on DSAI? Can’t wait to see DSAI walking into parliment.
