The results of the SMS poll over the 8.00pm news on ntv7 yesterday
This evening, the women’s wing of PKR launched a signature campaign to lobby for the dissolution of the Perak State Assembly. They aim to collect a million signatures within a week - Kinta Kid has the story here.
An SMS poll conducted by ntv7 on its 7 Edition (English news) bulletin at 8.00pm yesterday revealed that an astounding 99 per cent of viewers want fresh elections to resolve the political impasse in Perak.
This clearly gives the lie to those who claim that Malaysians are “weary” of elections. If anything, what Malaysians are probably weary of are all those political stunts to avoid holding fresh elections.
If you doubt the accuracy of the ntv7 poll, consider this:
The ntv7 poll results are identical to the separate poll findings on this blog, which also reveal that 99 per cent (of some 2,500 respondents) want fresh polls in Perak (90 per cent of you want state-wide elections while 9 per cent want by-elections for only those seats where defections occurred).
Should Malaysia build nuclear power plants?
- No (92%, 4,513 Votes)
- Yes (6%, 315 Votes)
- Don't know (2%, 62 Votes)
Total Voters: 4,890
NEXT; Instruction from the EVIL…Ban all poll on Perak Election to all public media. List of thing you can’t do in Malaysie include ‘No mention of Tuya’, No black shirt, No breakfast near State Building, No vigils, No show of Speaker being dumped, No this, No that. This is call ‘Freedom, My Way’…’Freedom, The Old Senile Horse Way’.

Weary of Elections ? too many by-elections ?
Quote :
Many, especially from BN, are lamenting that we have had an unprecedented number of by-elections since the last general elections. Let us take a brief look at what triggered these by-elections.
Kuala Terrengganu, Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai – Death of the concerned assembly persons by natural causes, something all parties agree as an unavoidable factor. Having said that, I do not recall any other time in history when three assembly persons died within one year of their five- year term, do you ?
Perhaps the Health Ministry should consider a healthcare plan for all 222 assembly persons.
Permatang Pauh – Most citizens if not all knew that Dr Wan Azizah was Anwar’s proxy in this constituency. The general elections was called on March 8, 2008 just a month or so before Anwar was eligible to contest.
This left him with no choice but to enter Parliament via a by-election after Wan Azizah stepped down. This could have been avoided if BN ‘accommodated’ Anwar and allowed him to contest in the general elections. Instead they feigned surprise when the time came for a by-election at Permatang Pauh.
Bukit Selambau – Assembly person V Arumugam resigned on Feb 9, 2009 triggering a by-election. The reasons why Arumugam quit were appended to a statutory declaration which he wrote. In the declaration he stated that he no longer could stand the threats he had been receiving from certain parties besides alleged attempts from people claiming to represent BN who offered him up to RM5 million to cross over to the coalition.
He also demanded that past police reports he made on this be looked into. He also claimed that he and his family had also been harassed a number of times since last year’s general election despite declining the offers.
The mainstream media and BN factions played up the theory that Arumugam was embroiled in a morality issue for allegedly marrying another woman through customary rites without divorcing his wife. While playing up the infidelity claims, the statutory declaration is ignored.
If indeed it was infidelity, why has his whole family disappeared? How can he fabricate police reports lodged soon after the general elections?
So there we have it – three by-elections due to ‘natural causes’ and two that point to circumstances most likely created by BN.

Holding a fresh nation-wide election would restore the image of UMNO-BN. They may lose badly this time but they will win back people’s respect whcih should augur well for them in the 13th general election.

The Misconception-PERAK FIASCO-by Charlatan.
The public must be made to understand the position of PERAK State Government. It is not a problem. A 1st.Year Law Student is able to solve the problems. People who are learned, not so learned or ignorant in laws try to delve in the fiasco. They are wrong questions and get wrong answers. Many try to be too clever.
They must refer to Perak State Constitution and Parliamentary practices of Commonweatlh Countries. The practices are known as ‘CONVENTION’.
Basically members of Perak State Assembly, may vote to express that Non-Confidence in Menteri Besar Nizar. So what? Mr.Niza may resign after that passing of Vote of Non-Confidence.
The question, if he choose not to resign what happen next?. The Sultan may dissolve the State Assembly or refuse to do the same. Mr.Niza may continue to be Menteri Besar till 31-12-2009. By convention he should resign but he can choose otherwise.
Convention is not law but have force of law. As Nizar lost the command of the house, no FINANCIAL BILL can be passed. So no money could be legally be spent.
Niza do not have to resign and handover the power to Pangkor…. Nizar is custodian of Rakyat’s trust. By 31-12-2009, if the matter cannot be resolved the state will be declared emergency. The Federal Government may take over the state but PERAK will be in the safe hand.
Niza must resist the attempt to wrest the powers from Pakatan Rakyat…. The Sovereign is Rakyat. This is a small constitutional law lecture. many have to go back to schools to learn what is ‘CONVENTION’. Nobody to talk about this.
If Nizar refuse to resign, the Constitution of Perak is hopeless. Morally is wrong for Nizar not to resign but it is equally wrong for the P… to wrest power by unetical means.
Lawmakers must learn laws in order to make law. Many know nut about laws and they talk law of numbers. It is not mathematics or algebra. It is preservation of law and order to prevent down right swoop on legitimate government by use of external forces…. Public must be aware and not being hoodwink by Charlatan-who pretend to be learned in law but their heads are empty. To take for granted if you have Phd, you are learned in laws. This apply to political analysts too. God save Negeri Peark.
Niza! stick to your gun. Don’t ever resign at whatever cost!
Numbers must not be the sole basis to legitimise the snatching of power from legitimate government. Head counting… This is the number game played by … Pangkor. They fail to understand in case of impasse, the one an only solution is to go to the people and get fresh mandate. Do not beat around the bush and try to advance cock and bull story.
The Rakyat is not stupid. This is the age of IT. The Days where the people in power could manipulate Rakyat is gone. The Sang Kancil counting the head of buaya lining up in the river in order for him to cross the river is gone. Rakyat cannot be fool to long. Take the morale of the story – Sang Kancil and Buaya-Buaya.
Royal Proffesor Ungku Aziz did once said they are many PROFESSOR KANGKONG try to lecture us in law. Beware! only listen to Proffesor in law, only they may potray a true picture.

BN is really disgusting.They can think of all sorts of dirty and unbelievable tactic to grab power. I am very sure that BN is hopeless in Perak, and from here all the negativity of BN is fully shown. It has lost the confidence of the people nationwide. Not only state-wide election that I agree but general election (Whole Malaysia) since I believe that BN has lost its popularity in majority of Rakyat Malaysia following all the stupid things done by them in Perak.

I am a Malaysian who has been residing overseas for many years. The manner the Speaker was forcefully dragged out of the Legislative Assembly and locked up is a TOTALLY DISGRACE on the part of the perpetrators. We used to laugh at the Taiwanese and Korean Parliamentarians who resorted to violence in their Parliaments. Now, we Malaysians do the same shameful thing. My friends here just shook their heads and laugh at us Malaysians. May the PM do the right thing, cut your losses and call an early election and resolve the matter once and for all. Let the rakyat decide who they want to run the Government.

PM Najib and the UMNO/BN is sinking in deep s…. From their arrogance and self-denial attitude they are doing the Opposition a great favour in winning more votes in coming by-elections and GE13.The Perak political crisis is destroying them and I believe this is going to be Najib’s Waterloo. History has proven time and again that ‘peoples’ power’ will prevail at the end of the day.The biggest mistake is that the UMNO/BN idiots thinks that the rakyat will easily FORGET and FORGIVE come GE13. I can assure them that this would not be the case this time. Too many 8 inch nails had gone into their coffin….

99% of the people who want state elections can’t be heard by the PM over the 99% of Umno warlords who don’t want state elections.

BN to move a vote of no-confidence on Nizar, who according to their own version is no more a legitimate MB! If they do, then they accept that Nizar was and still is the rightful MB together with his EX-CO to this day. And by virtue of that they ALSO admit that Zambry and his government was an ILLEGAL one all this while ….. PLEASE DON’T MAKE THE WORLD LAUGH AT YOU … !!

Time, to UMNO now, is like a wild wire.
The longer UMNO take to dissolve the state assembly, the fiercer this wild fire rages.
I just want Perak to be peaceful once more.
Therefore, to UMNO,
