Pakatan tipped to sail through in Bukit Gantang

Just spoke to a media source just now and he said the crowd last night at Bukit Gantang was closer to 20,000. (My other media contact had said 10,000 while blog reader Gantangian estimated it at 15,000). Whatever, it was a huge turnout. The ceramah was held in a kampong near Bukit Gantang.

The Pakatan candidate is now expected to be revealed only on Thursday, according to my source. PR leaders are probably delaying the announcement after seeing how the BN lured three of their assembly members into jumping ship.

According to my source, the word is that Pakatan is likely to cruise home with a 3,500-5,000 majority (among 55,471 voters), improving on its 1,566-vote margin in GE2008.

The PKR’s S Manikumar, a 35-year-old marketing consultant, has been revealed as the Pakatan candidate for Bukit Selambau. According to a source, the multilingual (he knows some Spanish, apparently!) businessman is a party newbie, having joined PKR only a couple of years ago.

2356: The ceramah is over now with no announcement of the candidate made. My contact is on his way out, wondering when they will reveal the candidate. His final estimate of the turnout is around 10,000.

2328: Gantangian adds:

There are shouts of support from the crowd and cheers for Nizar and Anwar. Looks like it’s gonna be an easy win for Pakatan.

Nizar and Anwar are due to address a “mega ceramah” in Simpang, Taiping tonight. (Police have since declared the ceramah “illegal” and the organisers are now reportedly moving the event to outside the Pas office in Bukit Cempedak, Bukit Gantang.)

Talk has it that Pakatan will reveal its candidate for the Bukit Gantang parliamentary constituency tonight.

Perak PR turns one with a bite of red eggs under the Democracy Tree – Photos by Kinta Kid

Birthday boy Nizar receives a basket of pomelo

Kinta Kid reports from the Democracy Tree in Ipoh:

A year ago today the new government of Perak was sworn in. Coincidentally it was also the birthday of “MB yang sah” Nizar Jamaluddin. Today, I received an sms at around 5.00pm about a birthday party for Nizar and it was to be held under Pokok Demokrasi at 6.00pm. Where else!

The PR team turns one today and the situation today has completely changed compared to the previous 50-odd years. For his birthday, Nizar was presented with a pomelo. (The pomelo is a fruit identified with Ipoh. It is segmented inside but is juicy and refreshing and its outer appearance is packaged well with a smooth and rounded exterior.)
