Yang Since you have thrown the challenge to me, I will accept your wager. Put your Siew Mah come. let’s decide whether people will look at the bigger picture or the pettiness of BN campaign. Let’s have a gentlemen agreement to contribute RM200-00 to Anil’s savings account whoever loses.

Trusting DAP to make us trust PAS has made us vulnerable to hudud
Now Dyana admits mum involved with Perkasa
The DAP candidate also helped her mother with the membership registration for Perkasa.

Zahid Hamidi ‘jokingly urged’ RELA to vote for BN?

How on earth did he know which party RELA members voted for in PRU13?

Umno/BN must be aware of this outcome, hence they did not contest the by election directly and have instead the Umno/Bn friendly proxies candidates stood in the by election. Let this be a warning for all the Umno schmucks and all their lackeys in MCA that their ends are here. The results of the other by elections will be the same or in the next GE, time is running out even with all the deceit the election commissioner can come with. Run for your life the tsunami is coming !

The issue really is that those who lose their deposit, even though the voters don’t listen to them, UMNO does – way too much..

As I look into the picture as I saw PAS Sabu, and I see it as another victory by DAP that will seal our fate towards the implementation of hudud

From the results we can clearly see that DAP influence has waned substantially and the people are getting disillusion with it. Previously Karpal got 55,839 votes compared to Ram 41236. It means that more than 14,603 voters who have previously supported DAP has decided to boycott and stay away. Couple with BN 14,061 voters and half of Huan supports that come mainly from DAP, it means that DAP has lost support by about 30 thousand voters which approximately a 40% loss. Without MCA in the field, they are already in disarray. Come next GE as dissatisfaction against the CAT grew… Read more »

When BN did not contest in the by election, they have already shows the voters that they only contest when they a chance to win. Sad for such a loser attitude. In a game of football, if the other team thinks they are not winning, they still play and not concede a walk over. And that is 90 minutes of playtime. So where is the sporting spirit of such a party.

What I see is Karpal Singh winning the election not Ram. Anyway the people are just letting him warm the seat for a while before they finish him off next GE

While Rosmah & Khairy & many Malaysians gave support to Lee Chong Wei, what has LGE done in his capacity as CM? Certainly a call from his MercS300L is worth the boost to Lee & his Thomas Cup tea mates.
Anyway, Lee thrashed that Tago like Harimau Malaya whipped Doraemon.

Japan badminton team improved tremendously under the Korean head coach Park Joo Bong, who used to be a coach in Malaysia. Foreign coaches could not stay long in Malaysia due to ‘internal politics’ in BAM as we have seen the departure of Joo Bong, Rexy Manaiky and Morten Frost in acrimonious circumstances. Even Misbun Sidek also quit as head coach due to problems in BAM?

The combined votes from PCM and the 2 independents also cannot recover deposit. Now we know why MCA chose to be ‘Mari Cabut Association’.
