Just caught the 8.00pm news over TV1 and TV3.
For the first 20 minutes it was almost all BN propaganda. The propaganda centred on four main areas:
- challenge to Anwar to swear on the Qur’an
- 200 “PKR members” crossing over to BN(!) – ho hum, the usual thing.
- greater compensation or financial assistance to the poor/squatters within Permatang Pauh
- rifts within the Pakatan, conflicting ideologies etc; therefore the coalition will be unable to govern the country.
Najib was featured prominently in the news. I was flipping between these two channels and didn’t catch a single scene of Abdullah Badawi.
Meanwhile, I hear a BN source is claiming they have the edge in their own survey.
Finally, brace yourselves for last-minute shock announcements from both Pakatan (perhaps tonight?) and BN (perhaps tomorrow?).
Last minutes announcements don’t add any value because the people have already decided. In fact, fence sitters are not more than 5%, so the idea that BN propaganda will help is quite naive. Attacking Anwar would have assisted them on March 8, but they were given a hard slap and it will happen again.

To be expected.
It will be even more virulent tomorrow! Makes nonsense of the notion of an independent media.
Tells you the work that needs to be done even if Pakatan comes to power, to free the judiciary….to free the media ……and so many other instituitions……that for 50 years have been UMNO -ised.
To the voters of Permatang Pauh, you know the truth, all of Malaysia is now relying on you.

Conflicting ideology indeed. I’ll rather have conflicting ideology which can be discussed and compromised over rather than racist ideology which is not open for discussion because no component party dares question their master Umno.

Oh, you might have missed the “Anwar menggunakan kata kata lucah dalam ceramah” piece on TV3. Actually in terms of vile venom against the opposition, I personally think TV3 beats RTM.

TV3 news of the last couple of days have been shameful. Instead of reporting the news, they have been utterly biased. Do they think viewers are blind? It’s the same old tactic used during the 12th GE. I hope the it will be the same outcome as well. I wish we could all boycott TV3. I hope the voters of P.Pauh will not be taken in by the on-slaught of the media.

Hi everyone,
(A wanita leader pf a BN component party) is alleged to have given RM200 ang pows to old folks and told them to know what to do on day after tomorrow (reference to Tues. 26 Aug). …. Can Mafrel investigate and report on this incident? What has the SPR to say about this?
Let the TV stations show more and more of their bias, for then the electorates revulsion of such blatant abuse would be translated in the ballot boxes.

It was reported by Bernama on August 24 that Najib said “Pakatan Rakyat Cannot Govern Country Because Of Conflicting Ideologies”
Is he trying to say Bee eNd is indispensible? Hello! If Pakatan Rakyat is given a chance, I believe they can do even better. Bee eNd now lack of quality and credible UMNO leaders after the first generation leaders had retired or RIP. What we have now are many self-centred, greedy, racists, corrupt, involved in scandals after scandals and LIARS! Say one thing today and do another thing tomorrow. Nak tipu orang sahaja, ingat orang Malaysia bodoh kah?
I am very surprised that Pak Lah is not campaigning hard in his home state but giving all power to Najib, WHY? I suspect Pak Lah must have said to Najib that if Najib want to be the next PM, you better make sure you work hard for it, otherwise Anwar will take over. Further, Najib, you are the one that have some personal scores to settle with Anwar, you better do it yourself.
Over on the TV news, Najib was so generous to extend help for one abandon housing project in Permantang Pauh and he is getting the GLC Suruhanjaya Perumahan Negara to take over the project. Why now and only in Permatang Pauh? Is it because of the by-election you only notice it? If Najib is sincere, announced lah the government will immediately take over all abandon projects in the country and help those long suffering buyers, proved lah you are sincere and caring of the rakyat. Otherwise, I take it that Najib is using this tactic as vote buying with tax payers’ money, don’t think you are using you punya bapa punya duit. If, this is the case of vote buying than the ACA should investigate immediately without fear or favour. Thus to prove ACA is independent and got-b****.
How dirty and low down can Bee eNd or should I say UMNO. As the grassroots supporters of other Bee eNd component parties are abandoning the SS Titanic Bee eNd.
To the people of Permatang Pauh, take all the Bee eNd is giving to you. After all it is tax payers’ paying for the goodies and when you go to vote just make sure you vote Pakatan Rakyat as the rest of Malaysia is depending on you.
If American can change for once to give a colour person a chance to be the president, why not Malaysia go for a change also to allow the opposition a chance to lead our country to a better tomorrow.

More propaganda = more loss of credibility.
Never learned the lessons from the
experience of the East European Communist regimes?

I watch the news and was disgusted. I read NST and Star and was disgusted. think that the rakyat is still naive about these things. And they put Ezam and Nalla as angels. sure…
I agree that PR has more talent. They have won 2 public debates vs BN. Nuff said.

MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS
The use of public properties; e.g. t.v. radio, transportation
is all illegal; BN should use their own funds. Because there is
no body to question; in fact this practice of illegal use
public properties have been going on for a long long time and this
practice should be stopped.
See the amount of Police force – in the name of “Security”
is being used in Perm Pau – there is no need for such a heavy
security – this is to freighten or scare the people that BN
so powerful – anyway, we will wait and see – another 24 hours we will know the result.
Pray
have the results.

This sleepy, flipflop guy just try to show the rakyat that he is a caring type. Too late la. What I can say about this guy is “I COME, I SEE AND I Sleeeeepzzzzz”.”
After the by-election, he would have forgotten that he has travelled on LRT/KTM etc…. End result, back to square one, forgotten and no action taken since 2004.
Now another amazing thing has happend to these BN guys, ‘”swearing” fever. Seems that everyone gone into this fever. We have Sai the FOOL, DPM and now former MB of Perak is swearing like nobody business. They even challenged people to swear. Luckily DSAI has refused to do this. This type of swearing makes a mockery of oneself. They also make swearing like “makan sayur la”. Only REAL DESPERATE people do this.
These guys are really desperate and they make a clown of themselves to the whole world by doing this.
There are laws to be followed. If everyone swears to claim innocent or have/have not do this or that, then why need laws la.
Real bunch of clowns

Like Hafiz we wish were back home watching what is a great moment in history.That hopefully Anwar will be able to realise his vision of a United Bangsa Malaysia with Pakatan Rakyat PAS & DAP. Both parties with strong & good values which the Umno/Bn huge political machine -press,tv,huge public funds have been used to condemn all opposition.
Umno feed on the fear of the people- using threats,bribes,cheating & divisive bumi & non bumi racist policy to stay in power.
To use the judiciary & police and to use people like Saiful & others is most despicable-the lowest of the lowest type of government.Most of the Corruption…thats why we are overseas & will return if a New Government takes over.Thank you AnilNetto for this chance to follow the happenings fr abroad.
No doubt those in power will resort to anything to stay in power
so lets all stay calm after voting & DO NOT PLAY INTO THE HANDS OF THOSE WISHING TO WRECK THE CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE>
Long Live Anwar & KEADILAN-PAS-DAP for a NEW MALAYSIA!
