Tonight, we will look at the upcoming Kedah state election.
In the 2018 state election, Pakatan Harapan won 18 seats out of the 36 seats (36.5% of the popular vote, including Bersatu’s 12.2% or five seats), Barisan Nasional picked up three (29.6%), and Pas won 15 seats (33.7%).
In the 2022 general election for Kedah parliamentary seats, PH’s share of the popular vote dropped to 23.3%, BN’s share dropped to 19.5% while Perikatan Nasional’s share soared to 55.0%.
Emen Jamal, the Tasik Gelugor PKR information chief, predicts that PH-BN will coast to victory with 26 of the 36 seats this time.
Abdul Rahman Kasim, the Tasik Gelugor Pas information chief, forecasts a PN triumph in the state, with the coalition bagging 30 of the 36 seats.
For my part, I predict a PN win in Kedah as it will be a big ask for PH-BN to overcome the 55% in popular support that PN enjoyed in last November’s general election.
What’s your prediction?

Difficult to go u turn for faithful followers, fearing afterlife repercussions. So even if so said Mboboiboy the poster boy, the status quo remains cruising without crucification to victory. Only after 4 years later at GE16 heavenly u turn somehow ‘dipermudahkan’.
Gerakan should tell us if Mukhriz is the MB candidate for Kedah since Gerakan has so much time speculating the CM candidate for Penang!
Gerakan Top 2 are still the same, and the party is doomed.
Gerakan president Dominic Lau caused an uproar after he toyed with the idea of contesting for the Pulai parliament seat on Twitter.
Very disrespected towards the late Salahudin so soon after his sudden death. Dominic is so greedy and desperate to get a parliamentary seat!
If Kedahans are smart, they will choose a government that can and will work with both Penang and Putrajaya. There are lots of economical benefits. There will be lots of spillovers from Penang.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today announced an increase to the padi price subsidy scheme (SSHP) rate from RM360 to RM500 per tonne on all padi production, effective tomorrow.
Anwar said, with the increase, padi farmers will receive at least RM1,700 per tonne of the padi they produce, thus giving them more revenue.
The two PH candidates in Kedah – Derga & Darul Aman.
Nga Kor Min’s ceramah in Alor Setar last night (Aug 10, 2023):

The reduction of fuel prices a priority now for PN supporters? PN clamor for it so much is it? But yet when Muhyiddin and IS was in charge you never ask for it also? Just because they never promise to do ut. So its something you can accept la..but just because AI promised it you now demand for it. Hypocrite. Let me ask you PN supporters Melayu Islam govt. RUU 355 what happen? You had the power tak buat pun? Janji apa tu? Janji capati or tosai?
Kedah Chinese will vote to regain the lost ground, 4D is among the reasons.
Sanusi claimed there was data that showed that non-Muslims make up the majority of those arrested for giving and receiving bribes.
This is as seditious as claiming that only Muslims (who makes up a majority of the civil service) ask for bribes.
A Selangor Royal Council member has lodged a report over caretaker Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s alleged insult of Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah
Sanusi has made one comment too many. He thought he could get away with just writing a letter of apology the Sultan. It is one thing to apologise and quite another for the aggrieved party to accept the apology. This it could be the end of the road politically for Sanusi. Do not forget Sanusi has previously offended TMJ of Johor too.
Caretaker Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Noor faced two charges today at the Sessions Court in Selayang, Selangor over his ceramah on July 11.
Both charges accused him of uttering words that had the tendency to incite disloyalty against a ruler.

Has PDRM taken action against Sanusi’s personal “senior police officer” whom he kept in constant touch with him from “11 malam sampai 2 pagi”, while half of Bukit Aman was trying to trace the rogue minister? Nothing? Semua berjalan dengan lancar?
Also, is there a ‘customizable arrest’ option made available for the public? Well, Sanusi said he was providing his preference and placing order with the “senior police officer” on HOW HE WOULD PREFER TO BE ARRESTED.
If they are true to their belief, they should not take them. During elections, there are many giving and many taking.

Sanusi is too inspired by ASTRO Maharaja Lawak, to gain fame as a comedic politician at the expense of state development, possibly the people of Kedah need comedy to relive tension of high cost of living?

What is the point of having your Adun, who is also a Minister Big, who cannot bring development to you and cater to your welfare and wellbeing. Not even a bank branch!
The youths have to go out of state to look for work due to the lack of local opportunities.
What’s the point of having a Minister Big who talks big and is often at loggerhead with the federal government?
Sanusi will be facing many court charges soon: 2 kes Makamah, 3 Saman Fitnah.
Kedah malays like Sanusi because previous MB Mukhriz is too detached from kampong commoners prefer to spend more time in KL during his 2 terms as MB in Kedah. Sanusi can turun padang to play football with kampong folks. Mukhriz prefer F1 and high class living.
PAS lawmakers have tasted the Forbidden fruit. Posh mansion, chauffeured limousine, deep pocket with plenty of money, fame, position and power, including 2nd wives. That’s why they’ll go all out, risk playing 3R to stay relevant. The Rulers must act fast before the growing influence could not be curbed.
After decades of Islamisation, where are you Malaysia?
https://m.malaysiakini.com/columns/673460
I guess the easy answer is: lost. We have lost the dominant national narrative of who we were, who we are, who we want to be, and what we believe in.
What we are seeing today is the willful and destructive tearing apart of Malaysia’s social fabric by politicians who only care about getting or staying in power.
Kedah has Southeast Asia’s oldest civilisation and archaeologists barely know its complete history.

Sanusi, can you please answer Saifuddin’s questions to you on the above matter quickly, truthfully and publicly? It must be very challenging for you to have these things about you being peeled layer and layer to your supporters.

Mariam Mokhtar is far more prominent and dare to speak out the reality than the so-called G25 ‘elites’.
Quotes:
The phrase “secularism means being anti-religion” is frequently peddled by the conservatives.
Today, the conservative Muslims with their own interpretation of Islam have become the new colonial masters, who divide and rule, whilst ignoring the valuable lessons of the past.
Religious extremism affects everyone, both Malays and non-Malays, and it is the responsibility of the government to start the new secularism narrative, instead of making more excuses – MARIAM MOKHTAR
You reject them during last election. The verdict is there. Talk much, you think they are just making noise. Do why KbKb like rakyat or alpha 88 when rakyat don’t listen?
Can you kindly re-phrase what u r writing, cannot understand your English.
Readers please ensure proper English with correct spelling. If your English is not up to SPM level, then better write in BM. There are young readers who could be influenced badly by wrong grammar and incorrect spelling. Anil must also emphasize this.
Very well said. Readers must be responsible with their language. Poor language ability of a person is a reflection of low education of that person or poor education system?
Such writing is a determined affectation, not due to ignorance.
Learn a new word ‘affectation’ today.
affectation
/ˌafɛkˈteɪʃn/
noun
behaviour, speech, or writing that is pretentious and designed to impress.
Ha ha. Now we know shriek is trying to impress Anil with his writings, to become a staff writer for Aliran?
elementary watson. g25 was rejected in the last election. g25 is like alpha 88 kbkb and who is going to listen to them. But if they are independent MPs…
Ok you meant G25.
Kbkb for non-Hokkien folks, it sounds cry father cry mother = blaming here and there.
Correct me if I’m wrong with interprretation
when nons speak out, they are accused left and right. So it is better to vote G25 than PKR. See what has PKR Batu or Bayan Baru been doing?
G25 folks [allegedly] benefited from NEP to be elite wealthy malays. Question is did they practise ‘pay it forward’ to enable their fellow malays in B40 group? They tend to leave the responsibility to the government, and critise the poor effort.
if you are born when NEP is implemented, you can reach the heavens. Now, it is like going to hades. Gomen has to pay more as ringgit is chip chip and debt is over 1 Trillion. G25 being educated, can see we are joining Laos. Viet, Cambodia, Indon and even Burma is going to speed fast us. Rakyat reject them in last election, they can talk very small only
Malaysia is for all Malaysians, not just Malays, says PM Anwar in retort to Mahathir

Malaysia includes natives of North Borneo and Sarawak. Are the natives same as those in Malaya? What about orang asli?
The Sarawak natives like Bidayuh are mostly Christians.
The old sly fox must be made to return his billions worth of stolen assets.He is shamelessly peddling his Malay only strategy to enable PN to gain political support.
He is calculating once PN gains power he will be saved and so are his billions worth of wealth robbed from our national coffers.
Mahathir compares M’sia to Ukraine, says M’sia cannot be owned by ‘foreign descendants’
“We are willing to share our country. But not until this beloved country is occupied by descendants of foreigners,” he said.

Zahid Hamidi as Home Minister previously has shown us Mahathir’s original old IC indicating his Indian origin. He is a “pendatang” for the same reason. Ha ha!
PM Anwar wants voters to deliver a message that would signal their backing for a new multiracial political compact championed by his fledgling administration, which is led by his Pakatan Harapan coalition.
It is a big ask, particularly at a time when the opposition Malay parties are doubling down on claims that the community is at risk of losing their political clout, which could result in economic marginalisation. What is more, Mr Anwar’s opponents are arguing that multiculturalism is a direct threat to the status of Islam as the country’s official religion.

What about those from North Borneo and Sarawak? What is their belief of the states? Or again uses the 3Rs?
An estimated crowd of 5,000 supporters await Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s arrival at the state’s Jelajah Perpaduan Madani held at the Kupang night market.
This will be the Pakatan Harapan chairperson’s last stop for his campaign trail in Kedah.

Awakening call for Supremacy in Savings for old age !

“Bumiputeras aged 55 and below comprise 65% of the EPF’s 15.8 million members. But they contributed just 40% of the RM930 billion in total savings that the fund held in this category prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. As of May this year, the figure had dropped to only 34% of the current total savings of RM1.06 trillion in this category.”
They hoping for moo so they can get more foc stuff?
Getting money from your own EPF is not foc stuff. Madani e-wallet RM100 is foc stuff.
PM Anwar has revealed that 81% of EPF contributors will not have sufficient savings to live above the poverty line after they retire.
As of December last year, only 19% EPF contributors have reached the basic savings level based on their age to enable them to have RM240,000 in savings by 55 years old.
RM50,000 can only provide retirement income of about RM208 a month for a period of 20 years.
https://focusmalaysia.my/report-81-epf-members-cannot-live-above-poverty-level-upon-retirement/
RM240,000 means a little more than RM1,000/month for 20 years. That is not enough in towns. Anyway, Anwar’s statement seems to contradict the (EPF?) statement in FMT.
There is no contradiction when money is no enough for retirement. Future governments may not have the money to support you.
Join pas, pn, $$$ is on the way. Who cares where $$$ comes from but as long as inside their pocket, anything can and will do.
People will face all sorts of contradictions in twilight years if there is insufficient personal savings, with or without government assistance. Do not enjoy spending unnecessarily today at the expense of your old age.
A good advice. Do not be tempted by Shopee snd Lazada, as well as Zus and Gigi.
I am non partisan, and my own prediction on DAP & MCA solely based on their troopers comments on Anilverse.
One shriek out with broken sentences and hard to understand what’s trying to convey while one alpha very long winded not hitting the points.
Sanusi Factor swept Kedah.
PAS gain, Umno lost.
Two ex-national players Radhi and Badrul (both PAS) handed Umno & Amanah big defeat.
DAP lost its only seat (Derga) in this 6-state election in Kedah.
Anwar must announce that Sunday is public holiday if PH-BN win in Kedah.
This will help to swing many Malay votes.

Rafizi challenges Sanusi to televised debate
PKR election director Rafizi Ramli says a debate between him and his counterpart in PAS will be ‘the best entertainment’ leading up to the Aug 12 polls.
https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/07/28/rafizi-challenges-sanusi-to-televised-debate/
Yes, and the MB of Kedah gave an apt reply, ” Debating me won’t improve the economy”
Sanyasi would prefer to be Raja Lawak on Astro or Melodi on TV3 – tingkatkan kontroversi, tiada prestasi!
Did he tell you that he wants to be Raja Lawak on Astro or Melodi on TV3. Never heard him say that any where. He was asked to debate on economy and he replied debating him won’t help improve the current economic situation and he is right.
Now the question is, how is the economy now better than November 2022? What about the Malaysian currency? Do either the federal or the Opposition have any idea how to improve it.
No genius can turnaround an economy of Kerajaan Gagal (where people raised white flags for help) within 7-8 months.
You need to have some sense of reality while enjoying the jokes and comedy of Sanusi.
Anyway let the current government complete the 5 year term first. Do not hijack to cause more instability to our economy and Ringgit while driving away investors.
Whatever your thoughts were about the MB of Kedah, jokes, comedy
and whatever, the people of Kedah thought otherwise. By the way, the PH unity govt. and their clueless supporters, with all their banging and shouting at the MB of Kedah, with fear tactics employed, only manage to win 3 seats.
You have any opinion on this?
“Sanusi sworn in as Kedah MB” dd Monday, 14 Aug 2023.
https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2023/08/14/sanusi-sworn-in-as-kedah-mb
Muda has decided not to contest in the upcoming state polls in Kedah next month.
https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/672898
It shows that:
1) MUDA is afraid to contest in malay-majority area;
2) MUDA is avoiding area that needs development;
3) MUDA concedes to Sanusi effect.
MUDA can also mean 59 years old.
Ha ha ha! A joke in PRN indeed.
One year before becoming wargaemas is still muda? Malaysia Boleh indeed.
Does anil think that Sanusi’s arrest will trigger a ‘reformasi-like’ movement among the Malaysian community as many seemed to believe his victimisation narration?
No, it’s not the same. Reformasi was based on a desire for human rights and greater democracy. I presume Sanusi’s supporters want something else.
World History entered a new chapter when Khomeini brought down the Shah of Iran.
they thought belief is true, honest and not oppressive. but once the law or regulation set up. how to take back? it is like benefits and free water selangor is giving. so why save water if they are given free?
You are right. Our King and Sultans must curbed the religious overzealousness as it could spell trouble … as history has demonstrated to us!
Will be another chapter if they dont learn and continue to follow iran and afghan
PAS may possibly make a Sanusi movie.
Afdlin Shauki the comedian can act as Sanusi, if it is a parody movie or Astro Raja Lawak program since Afdlin is currently a PKR supporter.
Mursyidul Am Pas, Datuk Hashim Jasin menyifatkan Menteri Besar Kedah, Sanusi sebagai anugerah Allah SWT yang dihantar untuk memimpin negeri tersebut. Malah, Hashim mengakui aura Sanusi akan membantu dan menarik sokongan rakyat terhadap Perikatan Nasional dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri Khulna di Kedah.

Sanusi will then push to be thd head if PAS.
He said Kedah cannot maju because too far from KL unlike Selangor. But he blamed Penang for taking away Kedah’s opportunity to be developed. How ironic!
everything blame on dap. its dap’s fault. see how they blame penang as belong to kedah and water also belongs to kedah
Anwar advised the people not to allow racial enmity to jeopardise the country’s peace and harmony.
“I went through many years of ups and downs, if I am seen as not doing enough, I will fix this in due time. I am not saying that when Anwar becomes prime minister, everything will be perfect. No, there will be issues. But I am not ready to compromise when it comes to stealing the country’s wealth and allowing corruption to thrive in our country,”

DAP under Loke is smart to keep low key and quiet. Unfortunately NiaoKong continues to bark … instead of retiring in protest like Ronnie Liu.
NiaoKong has been programmed by his father to protest as opposition despite DAP and his sister is now in goverment. Maybe it is a hard wiring and program is irreversible?

PDRM revised its SOP after the Memali incident. Difficult to execute Gerak Khas if the target has retreated to rural kampung with many die-hard followers providing human shield.
Far-fetched, In this case, the suspect was staying at a hotel.
Obviously you are too young to know the Memali incident. Go check up Wikipedia.
I predict a complete drubbing for the Madani government. PAS and Bersatu combo will obliviate the PH/BN axis and this time PN will get an even higher % of votes. For all the goodies (aka electoral bribes) that PMX dangles at the Kedahans will all be in vain.
What good would PN do to our nation?
Have you ever ask or you prefer to answer this in your afterlife?
Achievement of PN :- rakyat raising White Flag signaling kerajaan gagal.
