Our Indians brothers are only good at trying to outshine each other politicking for self interest and at the end of the day the residents here are left with nothing. If only they they had sat together and thought for the poor and helpless among them, the community would have been more enlightened. Lim of Penang did his best to help them. No, that was not enough. Groups and individuals among Indians condemned him thinking that Lim would change the world for them. They thought Lim would cave in just for a few votes from the Indians. However, he did his best as the CM of Penang. If only our Indian brothers have a little patient and acumen for an intelligent appraisal of what their community is facing, discuss matters in a matured way ... the plight of some of their people will be handled wisely. Remember that you are a minority. Learn to be smart like the other races. Educate yourselves, stay away from alcohol, cherish your beautiful culture of thousands of years, live by the phiilosophy of your religion (not just the rituals).... you all will come up in life. If you all listen to this advice, ten years from now you will see a successful Indian community in Malaysia - Indians who are Malaysians and who are patriotic to the nation. Indians who are not just recruited into political parties to put up posters to promote other interested parties. Kg Buah Pala?

In the March 2008 election - PAS secured 65.5% of the 16803 votes cast. In the by-election thsi time, it secured 64.8% of the 14832 votes cast. PAS' majority over UMNO has reduced by 0.7% this time. A very commendable effort by UMNO, using the might of the mainstream media and Patriot Bloggers like Parpukari, Shamsul Yunos and RockyBru. Anyway, it was only in this by-election, the rakyat knew the following UMNO wisdoms: a. That fines by Bar Council were like fines for parking offences b. That it was not wrong to marry a second wife secretly and not telling about it to the first wife. c. When misappropriated funds are subsequently settled, then there is no element of fraud. (Courts -not the one selling furnitures but the institutions that administer justice, please take note of this drift) Other observations: a. BN's Accusation of 3696 phanthom voters Even if 3696 phanthom voters had cast their votes and the votes were rejected from the total of 9618 votes cast for PAS, its new tally would have been 5922, which would have 855 votes higher than what UMNO secured. So PAS will still be the winner. b. Bernama reported that PM also took note of the fact that the BN managed to reduce PAS' majority in the area. He conveniently forgot that BN's own vote bank had reduced from 5571 in 2008 to 5067 this time, a reduction of 504 votes from its 200 tally representing almost 11%, despite using all main stream media to its advantage, assisted by Patriotic Bloggers like Parpukari (whose language stinks - even during Ramadan). This seems to be a perennial problem in UMNO. Cannot see deterioration of its own influence, but quick to compare its impact on the other party. Can UMNO take note and tell the big bosses? A post-mortem is scheduled to be done by UMNO. There you go again. UMNO only. Its not a BN post-mortem. So the remaining component parties are not relevant in this 'post-mortem'? What is this 1Malaysia all about then? Cannot even discuss defeat together? Where is collective responsibility of the BN? Talk only? No wonder, the public are getting fed-up with the BN rhetorics. And BN never learns! p.s : Anil, what happended to the planned meeting on 25 Aug 2009 between Kg Buah Pala folks and the UMNO chap? Another playout? Pity them. They seem to fall for anyone and everyone ranging from Uthayakumar, Thiruvengadam, T Mohan, UMNO and those who 'instigate' them. The Kg Buah Pala folks cannot learn even now, to be consistent and work with only one party? Lets console BN that PAS also lost, in a way.

The wind of change will not stop. Pakatan should now scout for more credible people to become candidates for the next GE. Looks like UMNO's strategies have backfired again. UMNO and BN have yet to learn. Their controlled media hardly showed PAS' candidate. They were continuosly featuring the BN candidate. The people switched off their TV and hardly read Utusan, NST and The Star. What happened to the 'pengkhianat' issue? It backfired. That guy from Lunas who quit PKR trying to be a hero? The people were laughing at him. Anyway, let him stand for election comes the next GE. See if he wins. Khairy's rhetoric? Nobody listens to him, anyway. DAP and Islam issue? The people did not buy this cheap thrill. So, what is left for UMNO? Nothing. Congrats PAS and Pakatan. The wind of change will not stop.
