The fact that Porno Chua is “acceptable” to a kampong crowd out in Labis/ Tenang….speaks volumes of the ethics the average Joe there …..

Nobody expected cikgu Normala Sudirman to win in Tenang. But she can stand tall in defeat, winning over the hearts and minds of the Chinese community with her gentleness and charm. This can be translated to mean she won a big battle in the MCA president’s strong hold thereby, giving him a big blow.
I would say she fought very courageously, defending every inch of the ground. She is the better candidate who lost to ‘money politics’, lies and biased reportings by the government-controlled medias.
I would suggest PR gives cikgu Normala Sudirman another shot in a Chinese majority constituency in future elections so as to take the lead in showing that PR is truely multi-racial to shut up the mouth of those who deliberately portray the coalition otherwise. DAP will stand to gain much to help shed its ‘Chinese chauvanist’ image especially,among the rural Malays, hence to project the Party’s struggles and principles.
Finally, syabas cikgu, for a battle well-fought. Now UMNOB will still feel insecure despite the victory as they cannot tell for a certainty whether the support they received is because of voters confidence in them or because of the hundreds of millions ringgit and all the goodies they distributed. They have created for themselves a hard-to-solve puzzle. Don’t believe? Ask them to hold a GE now.

#14 by monsterball on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 2:31 am
Had boats have given Labis voters to polling stations…the majority will be much lesser…or maybe PAS may win by a very slim majority.
No one expect PAS to win..but the reduced majority of +- 1800 votes showed mainly Chinese voters rejected MCA.
That’s good.
Now lets wait for Malacca by-election…slotted be in March.
Final countdown for the 13th GE is going to be..a complete wipe out of MCA is most Malaysian Chinese wishes.
#15 by monsterball on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 3:46 am
Lets presume Johore is UMNO B stronghold.
They can take Johore and Sabah…but Malacca has yet to show signs….while Sarawakians have indicated theirs.
Only through a proper 13th GE can we know the truth of it all….and I am confident Malaysians are ready for changes with kampong Muslims…and farmers sill living as simple folks with simple minds…reading papers and watching TVs…with no idea what’s really happening …except taking money from UMNO B as facts…how good the Govt. is…without one iota of knowledge and understandings..on billions stolen from them…and what they got back few Ringgits are money stolen..stolen from them. How sad.
Yes bad news do come in pairs and Lee Chong Wei lost to Lin Dan by a whisker…and mostly from his own mistakes.
But Chong Wei made Malaysians very proud with hos confidence and fighting spirit….and a usual…Lin Dan is full of tricks unbecoming a true sportsman. You can call him con man sportsman.
There is nothing Chong Wei be shamed about.
If first game favoured him…Lin Dan is finished..and the third game showed Chong Wei was desperate at 16 to 18 .giving Lin Dan the viral point… to be 16-19.
There is no sour notes in my comment…and I enjoy the game very much.
The luckier man won….that’s all.
The watching Lin Na lost to Clister…was a thriller..for two games. Third deciding one..Lin Na has long her directions and determinations..but Clister is worthy to be Champion…while Lin Na does made China proud too.
So bad news from sports from Malaysia and China are not really bad news At all.

Gobalala claims that he has resigned from all PKR positions he has been holding. But why is he still hanging on as PKR elected representative in Padang Serai, which he contested on the PKR platform in 2008? And why, like Wee chukiong, did he choose to resign on the eve of by-elections?
#21 by yhsiew on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 9:01 am
The Chinese voters of Tenang were stable-minded and not easily lured by BN’s free cash (there were rumors of vote-buying), free dinners and lucky draw (there were 5 motorcycles, bicycles and flat screen TVs to give away).
Thanks to Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng and other PR leaders who had done a grand job!
#22 by Jeffrey on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 9:34 am
BN managed to win back two Chinese-majority polling districts (losing only Bandar Labis Tengah) compared to the last general election 2008 in which it lost 3 out of 4 (Chinese-majority areas).
Yet it is uncertain whether Tenang or the BN’s winning of 2 other poll stations could be used to accurately assess whether MCA got back or did not get back some Chinese support throughout the country. For Labis is supposedly MCA stronghold held by Dr Chua Soi Lek, and Johore generally UMNO’s bastion. Its also eve of Chinese New Year not to mention the rain and poorer voter turn out without help of selective mobilisation of transportation by BN govt.
For the kind of support that PAS’ Normala Sudirman has obtained inspite of MCA playing on the fact of her not shaking hands, it looks like even fear of th Islamic state or extreme religiousity of PAS can override the anger and contempt that many Chinese voters still have for MCA, that cannot go away….
MCA is in an unenviable position, one that it has play second fiddle to UMNO within BN and as a result -no matter what MCA has done for the community on the side – become the target and focus of large swathes of Chinese community’s alienation and anger at its big brother, UMNO’s policies that MCA cannot change, and hence taken to support.

#25 by baochingtian on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 9:46 am
People didnt come out to vote coz they felt indebted to the hopeless party for the goodies they accepted but since they knew they might be tracked on whom they voted for, hence they chose to stay put at home ???
In the past, they were cases where opposition supporters were given goodies and in exchange their ic were being withheld to stop them from voting until polling stations were closed. I hope these “Smart” brains can be put into better use to benefit the rakyat and not jz the selective elite groups of …. (no eyes to see, sigh)
#26 by Bigjoe on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 9:50 am
Its clear the Chinese vote nationally still with the opposition and probably increased. While that is a strength that can be counted on for a while, its not forever and its not enough. The Chinese vote are no mind shapers, changers they are merely leading indicators of things to come. At best the opposition have one more GE after the next one to win Putrajaya on the strength of Chinese votes, PR still need BN to commit hara-kiri in order to win Putrajaya or it. There is no other way to put it.
The priority of the coming GE must to make result so that Najib is toppled – shake the confidence of UMNO such that Najib goes down. Only Muhiyiddin has the political capital to reform UMNO but he does not believe in it. Meaning that Muhiyiddin will accelerate the extremism of UMNO that will lead to their quicker self-destruction.
Its the only path that make sense for the opposition. If such a strategy does not succeed, then this country is condemned forever and every non-Malay in this country should demand the right of political refugee in other land..
#27 by DAP man on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 10:11 am
he Tenang by-election does not prove anything.!!
No analysis will hold water because of the rampant vote buying, threats, use of police power and most importantly the poor turn out due to floods.
The result is not a fair indicator of anything to come.
UMNO can never secure 80% Malay support at the national level. NEVER in a hundred years.
#28 by dagen on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 10:19 am
You see. The significant issue here is this. There are no street protests, demonstrations and what not by the opposition to whip up emotions. Something which, I am sure, umno took into account to explain the 308 result. So the relative absence of large scale protests and demonstrations since 308 must have given umno that “feel good” boost. Especially, given the recent few by election wins.
In view of this the Tenang result must be nothing less than very disturbing for umno. Chinese in the country continue to shut out mca and umno. More importantly, johore chinese – traditionally a mca stronghold state. Secondly, it is now obvious that the decision to abandon mca was a cold and calculated decision and not one which was whipped by emotions. Calculated decisions are more likely to remain firm, unwavering and lasting if you compare them with those that are driven by emotions. Finally, chinese thoughout the country have demonstrated a rather united and consistent stand against umno, mca and barisan. A loud and clear voice is being sounded out by them in rejection of those outdated, incompetent, greedy and corrupt so-called leaders in umno, mca and barisan.
Bravo! Keep our heads and our hearts on course.

UmnoB not worried at all NOT getting Chinese votes, as long as they hv Malay votes
D electoral boundaries hv oredi been divided such dat 0.5 million or more Chinese votes in a city will vote 4 only 1 PR MP/ADUN
SO WHAT? No threat lah, when 10K or less Malay voters elsewhere will vote 4 1 BN MP/ADUN, n there r many such constituencies, more than d densely populated ones
GERRYMANDERING mah, aaah, such a wonderful trick
If necessary, UmnoB will cut Putrajaya n Tenang into 2 or more constituencies 2 clone more MP n ADUN, LohSiMah can get elected in next GE, easy only lah 2 retain power

#36 by malignant on Monday, 31 January 2011 - 2:42 pm
the same question will be asked by the people in tenang. what good can BN do to? besides telling everyone there was a large phyton, what else can they do? chua soi lek? he has to ask himself what can he do to the chinese in tenang? but i wonder does CSL aware of such Q. he wont have this kind of idea because his presence in tenang is merely just for a show. a show to BN. is he really going to be there when people in tenang need him? we shall see about it. who has won in the election, it doesnt make any great difference. it is now we should see is CSL going to help the chinese in tenang? it is time for the people in tenang fully utilise the BN group and the chinese people, please get out from the coffee shops and tell CSL what is needed in tenang. then wait for the response. pre-election is just a show for everyone. the more important is post election. ask and demand what we need from the winner. whoever win the seat must have promised something to the public. so we as the voters, as the public, go and get our rights!
