Here’s where you get to share your comments – your thoughts, hopes and prayers, your reflections, poems and aspirations – with other Malaysians and with the world on the eve of polling.
Share with us what you think – who you think is likely to win, what it means for the people, the government and the country…
Just add your thoughts in the comments section.
Still too complicated to predict with precision. Many things are going on but little reported. For example, Puteri’s low-profile “anak angkat project” is penetrating the kampongs effectively, according the Chinese online Merdeka Review.
The article’s in Chinese, but let’s see whether machine translation has improved enough to be useful. The free article also contains some images. Remember machine translation will usually contain funny translation mistakes:

Anwar Ibrahim is our best bet to have a two party system where check and balance exists to ensure the misdeeds of incumbent government are not repeated even if PR took over the federal government.

My thoughts somehow swirls pervasively towards the results of Permatang Pauh election tomorrow and the repercurssions it entails should Anwar loses the election!I am always mindful whether the Election Commission is going to be fair in its conduct in running the by-election .I am very positive that Anwar may still win albeit with a reduced majority from what Dr Wan Azizah obtained in the last 12th GE.
To me this is a pivotal time for Malaysia.Are we prepared to the changes Anwar is embarking upon on for Malaysia.To me ,we have experienced the way BN has managed this country for the last 50 years and it sucks in terms of developing the sense of patriotism to all Malaysian and i am willing to take my chance with Anwar or Pakatan.

Some people can be gullible as anything and will believe whatever they hear through coffeeshop talk, or the TV, newspaper, etc. Or even the web. While everyone else will actually think and weigh the information that is before them. That means past information and current information. With that, they can come to their own conclusions. But they will not be confused as before in 2004. The false promises of PM Abdullah Badawi is never forgotten. Just look around you and the proof is there to remind you never to vote for BN. Chinese and Indians know who to vote for. It’s the Malay kampung folk that is doubtful. But still, the majority will vote for Anwar.

I hope for the best. But I work and prepare myself for the worst.
In the event DSAI wins and wins big, I would advise him and his followers, the BeeEnd LIE and CORRUPT machine will get EVEN more desperate. No telling what they will do, maybe even mass ISA arrests, force the DNA bill through, force DSAI to ‘donate’ blood…..
Sham trial starts.
Who knows?
If DSAI wins big, everybody should keep calm in Penang, much like the day after March 8th, keep calm.
Change will not come easy to those entrenched in the pits of corruption and lies. …

i hope the pematang pauh voters will help us to send a strong reminder to BN, that we suffered enough and we want a change!!! Very obvious the BN had forgot the 8 March, all they had been doing now is sabotaging and politicking, and the rakyat was left to suffer. the highest inflation we suffer now at 8.5% and rising explains enough of the current economy situation. On another hand, where is the Royal Commission report on the VK Lingam tape, have you read it Pak Lah. What about the Nurin case. What about Altantuya?
We need Anwar in the parliament for a better future!!!!

UMNO HOLDS no more moral high ground as the guardians of “bangsa dan agama” after the revelations by the FT ustaz that …. WAS INVOLVED WITH THE SWEARING on the Koran by SAIFUL.
This is a very brave soul the ustaz, who takes his job and religion very very seriously, THIS MAN FEARS FOR HIS SOUL, HE FEELS THAT THE RELIGEON OF ISLAM HAS BEEN MANIPULATED indiscriminately, BY ….. This just goes to show who is actually insulting Islam, nobody else has tarnished Islam more than ….
…
HOW YOU CAN DO THIS TO A FELLOW MUSLIM FOR THAT MATTER, DON’T YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE, or have you all been blinded by the false gold of wealth and power, where will that bring you when you face your maker.
I hope for everyone sake our MALAY BROTHER AND SISTER FROM PERMATANG PAUH VOTE FOR DSAI, THE FUTURE OF ALL MALAYSIANS IS AT STAKE HERE AND UMNO WILL STOP AT NOTHING.

Permatang Pauh is Anwar’s territory. The voters there know him inside out. BN is fighting a losing battle.
BN underestimate PP’s Malay voters.They think PP’s malay voters are like Melaka or Johor malay voters whose political acumen even shamed the …..
The BN candidate will lose it’s deposit unless the ‘play’ dirtier than what they had already played the last few days.
As for the third ‘man’, wonder who paid for his deposit.

Anwar need to bring everything together to one fevered but composed pitch tonight. That the margin of victory is very important Under 20,000 margin and the message would be somewhat muted. 25,000 vote and they have a chance at Putrajaya and bury Najib with it…

Latest news..Beware of Balot boxes with same serail no all marked with X on BI enn symbol (allegedly) ready for exchange when deliver to the counting center. True or not it is better to take whatever precaution needed. According to the report from Ah pek Bm and the newspapers report are totally different, I believe strongly that they might come up with these dirty trick. Some news confirmed that they did it in the last election but their preparation of quantity votes still did not matched the real votes for PR. REMEMBER in 2004 election many will shock of the reversed resulted even LKS lost badly. … think , think.. think…

Najib talks on race
Telling people Anwar pawning malay dignity
Is this type of campaign we don’t need it?
He is playing on racial card again
UMNO the rules and divides king
When the power is going to be scrapped
It flags its wings to flee
Yet as a small king it can’t fly
It is so grounded buried deep in its hole
Crying desperately for help now
As the mood has changed
UMNO can fool people most of the time
Now UMNO can’t do it any more
For the people and malays know the truth
Umno is going down………….
Yet Najib sings about his race
Sad but it is true
Malaysia isn’t made up of one face
She has many children of many races
Nobody should project her as one race
UMNO will disintegrate
In this buy election in PP
When the next government is formed
There will be no gravy train for UMNO
There the members will jump ship
Never mind those who quite PKR joining UMNO
They are there to get …
The new beginning will be born
In Permatang Pauh where it will begin
Nothing will stop it now
Go Anwar Ibrahim “kill” the beast
This is where history will be made

“I am holier than thou” by-election. BN administration has nothing to offer…no new polices. No new investments on Education, Health and Trade which will cater for the future generations. Only issues that are most repulsive to decent human beings, acts of desperate politicians wanting to cling on to power at any cost. Whereas, the opposition have demonstrated their will to change course for a better Malaysia. Anwar’s future visions sit well with the rakyat. My bet is with the opposition…BN has overstayed her welcome, if a thing is broken, replace it.

I hope the P44 folks will come out in full force to vote for Anwar, and send a special Merdeka message to Badawi & his cabinet that we MALAYSIANS have had enough of the whole charade played before our eyes in the last few years: Lingamgate, C4 murder, mega MINDEF purchases (Sukhoi jets/submarines), PDRM becoming PRDM … and Sodomy II, among other things.
Let’s pray for everyone’s safety, as we know …. Mat Rempits (may) be on the prowl to harass people as usual. And stay calm to wait for the results. Be humble even if we win Big, as I expect BN will still employ high-handed tactics even when they lose.
I don’t see much to celebrate this Merdeka, but hopefully better things will be in store for us next year as we celebrate the 52nd Merdaka!
Peace to all Malaysians.

i, too, am prepared for vote rigging! DSAI, please send your feelers out there and “spies” to combat any sabotage! I have never doubted that BN will be their usual dirty selves! God willing, any evil intent by the evil doers will backfire! revoked! reverse back to sender! Although we all know that the BN will invoke mambo jambo (aka rosy all the way from the USA), God is greater than any mambo jambo…

Dear All
1. The argument that “If Anwar does not win by a
larger majority, he has actually lost” is just political propaganda and an attempt by the soon-to-be loser to “reframe the debate” so as to claim victory even in defeat. PR should just ignore this
while not becoming complacent and continuing to work hard to get people out to vote.
2. The PR should think many more steps ahead of the other side and take the necessary actions e.g. why is the regime trying to rush through the DNA Bill? What will they try to do after Anwar wins the
PP seat? What other dirty tricks do they have up their sleeves? etc.
We, the majority of Malaysians who are people of goodwill, will reclaim our beloved country from those who corrupt and destroy our political institutions; steal our wealth and mismanage our economy while neglecting the fate of our less-privileged fellow citizens; promote racism and religious intolerance; make a mockery of the principle of rule of law; and make Malaysia a laughing stock in the world. We will reclaim our beloved nation by voting them OUT! Power to the People!

Permatang Pauh is the nexus of unfolding political events. The whole battle between BN and PR has been distilled into this focal point.
For this is no ordinary by-election. The results will determine the future direction of the country.
If Anwar wins with a huge majority, it means that Umno has lost political support among the Malays who rejects their racial politics. MPs may take it as a sign to jump ship. It will act as a catalyst for change that will spread throughout the country and eventually topple BN Federal rule.
If Anwar fails to pull a convincing majority or the unthinkable happens and he loses, the push for change will be stymied and contained. BN will continue and consolidate its corrupt rule.
BN knows what is at stake. It has used every trick in the book and some new ones to reduce Anwar’s majority.
The epic battle is coming to an end. When tomorrow comes, we will know what is the result.
When tomorrow comes, we will witness history in the making.
Let’s all wait for the result…when tomorrow comes.

I can never imagine DSAI can be defeated. If it happens, it is definitely the work of some crooks in power. Anyway -IN GOD WE TRUST, and Permatang Pauh should be proud to create the history for future generation to look back of how a warrior strive to fight for the nation. It is all about national interest and my prayers is with all people of Permatang Pauh and your decision is the most strategic one as it will dictate the future of Malaysia. Time for CHANGE.

I am somewhat nervous of what might be the end game tomorrow.I happen to share kenny Gan’s observations.It is riveting to comprehend the repercussions of Anwar not securing a bigger majority than Dr Wan Azizah.Any deficit in terms of majority will be capitalised by UMNO spin doctors. Any decline in Malay support for Anwar may prevent the exodus of BN MPs towards Pakatan to form the Government on 16th September.
