Show of strength in Seberang Jaya

This is a section of the 15,000-crowd that packed the Seberang Jaya Expo site last night to listen to a stellar cast of speakers: Anwar, Guan Eng, Wan Azizah and Husam Musa. The crowd chanted the old battle-cry “Reformasi!” and when Anwar declared, “Lawan tetap…“, they roared back, “Lawan!” with much steely determination.

It’s not going to be easy for the BN at all.

Seberang Jaya lies within the Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency.

Who do you think will win in the Permatang Pauh by-election?

  • Pakatan with much bigger majority (85%, 3,091 Votes)
  • Pakatan with slightly bigger majority (6%, 236 Votes)
  • Pakatan with about the same majority (3%, 122 Votes)
  • Pakatan with slightly smaller majority (2%, 73 Votes)
  • BN (1%, 36 Votes)
  • Pakatan with vastly reduced majority (1%, 30 Votes)
  • 50:50 (1%, 24 Votes)
  • I don't care (1%, 21 Votes)
  • Not sure (0%, 13 Votes)

Total Voters: 3,645

  1. Why should it be easy for BN? They should be slogging to win the hearts and mind of the rakyat for whom they have been neglecting for years.

  3. I can only wish DSAI the very best. I wish I could cast my vote but I have faith in my fellow Malaysians who want justice and economic development.
    Watch out for the phantom votes and all the irregularities.

  4. Anwar has to be very careful. This is likely to be the dirtiest fight that the BN could muster. The reason is simply that Najib survival depends on it. Anwar must make sure that he is not disqualified by dirty tricks such as his normination papers get rejected. Make sure there is a second candidiate and a nominee on standby and, get a good trusted lawyer to go through his nomination papers thoroughly. As usual, the EC will (probably) conspires with their BN masters. And watch out for those poster votes.

  8. 15,000 people came
    Races blinded of color change
    Smiling happily to listen
    The good son has returned

    Anwar Ibrahim
    On the stage he played
    The ground swelled
    This is the challenge
    Changing the wind for change

    The road to Putrajaya
    The obstacles stand on his way
    The UMNO and BN leaders wait
    They defend the goal post
    Afraid to let the ball slips in

    So he must know the tricks
    The UMNO leaders will try to do
    EC will bend its way to take orders
    The UMNO ways to make cake

    The people of Permatang Pauh
    Now it is the time to make change
    Give the local boy the mandate he needs
    Walking his way to Putrajaya

    UMNO will sing sodomy, sodomy, sodomy
    On the footprints he walks UMNO will watch
    Afraid to lose the crown UMNO will sing
    Out of tune on the stage red faces flow
    They know people don’t listen to them any more

    Permatang Pauh already know
    Who will walk into the doors of Putrajaya
    The good son has arrived
    Nothing will stop him from getting there

  10. I’m more than convinced Anwar could walk away as winner even by blindfolding himself. No issue at all. But Barisan (has within its ranks the) … most unscrupulous, unethical and the …dirtiest politicians. They (may even include the) … corrupts, criminals … who will resort to anything.
    That is what Anwar needs to prepare for and I believe he could overcome them.

  11. Why should the people of Permatang Pauh make it easier for BN? What have they done so far for the residence there or the country. They are fested with corrupted leaders who is raping the people and the country.

    If change is the call of the nation, Permatang Pauh will be the site of reference in the future. Call upon all the Permatang Pauh constituents to vote for change as we need good leaders in the parliment to spearhead the country towards a better direction. Let’s bury the dead concept on race based politics by BN and vote for change. Vote for DSAI!

  13. WE rakyat must stand up to Anwar. Those blood suckers and (those allegedly implicated or linked to murder) running the government must be replaced at once.
    Have enough of corruption/murders/flip flops/racist etc… issues.
    Malaysia must move forward irrespective.
    The government are more concern with people personal sexual activities rather than crimes/murders/corruptions and welfare of the rakyat.
    PK, PAS and DAP must join together to save the country slipping into third class country like Zimbabwee.

  14. Vote for change. Vote for peace. Vote for DSAI. No umno leaders are as good as DSAI. No umno leaders as capable as DSAI. No umno leaders are internationally recognised and have the same calibre as DSAI. Most umno leaders are jaguh kampong only. Talk big only in Malaysia.

  15. I call on the people of Pematang Pauh to rise up in this defining moment in sejarah Malaysia Baru!!

    Rumours of big money pouring in notwithstanding… we need to think MACRO…. not personal gains but the survival of Malaysia. Reject BN and you are sending out a loud message that we reject corruption, injustice and racial politics.

    You have the privilege to be tasked with this important mission. You got to wake BN from its slumber and complacency with your ballot paper. All Malaysia is counting on you.

    You can do it!!!!

  16. Since the latest election roll by the EC has been completed, can we get the figures as to how many voters (normal and postal) there are in Permatang Pauh? We don’t want to see many additional bags of postal votes coming in at the last minute now, do we?

  18. Anybody who still demands “proof” that Umno/BN is corrupt and evil beyond redemption is either trapped in a 19th century timewarp… or themselves corrupt and evil beyond redemption.

    I’d like to hear a public demand for the immediate sacking of IGP Musa Hassan and AG Gani Patail. …

  19. Elizabeth,
    You say “Rumours of big money pouring in”. I will just say to all residents of Permatang Pauh constituency, take the money that the BN pours in to you, contribute PR 10-20% for their elections campaign (up to you lah) and throw a few kenduris for your family and friends – maybe a few out of town Pakatan supporters too and then GO OUT and VOTE for DSAI.
    It is obvious that the BN has not grown up at all and still think that brute force, trumped up criminal charges and a Police Force, Army, Civil service, Attorny General office and a sunted Judiciary can still guarantee them their “right” to power. Let Permatang Pauh be the Waterloo for BN once and for all.
    Friends and Fellow Malaysians in Permatang Pauh, we stand by you and PR in working to BURY BN, let us all give you the “Semangat” to kick the BN…

  20. Top 5 reasons why DSAI will win by landslide in by-election:

    5: Voters there have strong affinity with DSAI and family in past decade
    4: Voters of PP are street SMART
    3: Voters of PP are well sighted, thanks to eye specialist Doctor Wan Azizah
    2: Voters of PP cannot be bribed or cajoled by talk-c*** BN and cronies
    1. PP will be voting for the next PM of Malaysia!

  21. Come every election, all the BN politicians squabble for postal votes. The EC should announce now how many postal votes there are for Permatang Pauh. But if most of the people come out and vote and the majority of them vote for DSAI, no cheating … will help.

    I don’t think bribery will be effective. People can take BN’s money (if any) and vote DSAI. It’s only the postal votes we’re worried about.

  23. With a caution.

    According to some internet news, (a certain political party/parties) is allegedly planning to bribe voters upto RM1000 per vote. So how do we counter this? All PKR supporters must get ready to apprehend perptrators so that we could bring them before their own court to embarrass them.
