Dalbinder reports that things are looking bleak for PKR in Batang Ai, Sarawak:

If the PKR wins, it will be by a slim majority. If it loses, it will also be by a slim majority.

Almost every long-house gets free decorations – any maybe more – from the BN.

Jawah’s past has cast some doubts on some of the local folks. He looks physically not really fit, which will affect his campaign.

And the folks here are also asking,  “Where are the top PR leaders?”

The voters here, who are very traditional, seem a bit confused; one moment, they seem to want change; but then they appear to want to give BN another chance.

I have a Sarawakian friend who told me point blank that it is fairly easy to influence the voters here. His analysis has always been accurate before.

Basic amenities are okay here.  The longhouse people say they enjoy living a humble and simple life like this but they want more access, not in the sense of development. They are fed up with the land issues. But many said, “Okay-lah, during the election campaign, the BN solve it already.”

  1. I am Swakian, I opened my eyed so wide but the Batang Ai residents…i still don’t know since I am not in that area. But i heard the NCR issue is a critical issue. Ppl here hate gov’t. But some still want fast money attitude.

  2. Anil, thanks for ‘correcting’ my harsh words, just can’t hold back to see such a situation persist to those people who is ‘willingly’ be used by those irresponsible to gain wealth/fame the wrong way. Keep us the work for the people man.

  4. MY PREDICTION CAME TRUE. IT WAS A PREDICTION BASED ON PROPER PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH.

    As predicted by me, Nizar made it. A good man in the name of NIZAR has won the seat. This is an eye-opener to all Malaysians. We want a change. NIZAR is a rising star – no scandals, no commission, no corruption. Next to Anwar will be NIZAR.

    In Bukit Selambau I predicted the same. PKR’s Manikumar won. The people have made the right choice. Come the next GE, PR will take over the government. Thanks to everyone. If you all had followed my comments in this blog, I was not wrong.

    I predicted the outcome in Permatang Pauh correct and also the one in Kuala Trengganu the same. Thanks. Thanks to Anil for providing me the space here to write my comments.
