The Malays in Selangor are educated and want a government that improve on economic matters and their children to be on par with other races. They wouldn’t want an adun who only concern about what nurses wear and after lives issue.
Kelantan, Terengganu, wake up!
Malays Are Also Victims Of Religious Extremism
PM Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has given a stern warning against any quarters playing and riding on Islam.
Anwar said such an act would not be tolerated after August 12, and action will be taken against them.
Ringgit value can affect state poll?
Conversely, Selangor PRN results can affect Ringgit. If PN wins, Ringgit will spiral downwards as investors will lose confidence.
Investors are not keen on government that is corrupted. The RM600 billion issue is as big as 1MDB scandal.

PSM deputy chairperson S Arutchelvan has challenged his opponents in the race for the Kajang seat in Selangor to declare their assets.
In a video titled “Asset Declaration – Nothing to Hide”, he said declaring assets is important because it would show that the candidate is honest.
Actually huge damage done to our economy by Prihatin and Keluarga governments. Cannot expect madani government to turnaround in 6-7 months!

The ringgit has taken a nosedive against the pound sterling, falling to its lowest level in seven years as it surpassed the significant threshold of RM6 to £1.

July 14 — Selangor’s Malay voters polled in a survey saw 63 per cent of them saying they feel their rights are being threatened, while 87 per cent said they did not know of the government’s measures to bring down the cost of living.

PN has a chance in Selangor.
Do not take things for granted. Or you may not have Bon Odori, GSC, Magnum, Da Ma Cai, Octoberfest … in Selangor once the green wave engulf the state. Please vote wisely!
Dominic said more non Malays are now supporting PN compared to last election.
Let’s put it into perspective shall we?
Out of 100 non-muslims, Gerakan’s support rose from 1 to 7 non-muslims out of 100.
Not exactly seat winning stats.
Looks like for they will maintain their 0 Parliament seats and 0 DUN seats.
Arul of PSM is contesting in Kajang.
Hope Anil can give him some coverage here.
Rapper Altimet is PKR candidate in Selangor
Perikatan Nasional may be able to win Selangor if there is a low voter turnout among non-Malays and if a third of PH-BN’s Malay voters back the opposition coalition – according to a survey conducted by Endeavour-MGC Research Centre.
A true Malay Dilemma even today, always felt threatened.

A study by Perikatan Nasional has revealed that its support among peninsular Malaysia-based Chinese and Indians has increased beyond the one percent it garnered in the 15th general election.
This was revealed by Gerakan president Dominic Lau, who told Malaysiakini in an interview that support among non-Malays in Selangor, for instance, had improved to around six and seven percent.

Cuepacs has proposed (pressured) to PM Anwar that the minimum salary of civil servants be set at RM1,800 per month.
I think this is achievable by reducing new intake of civil servants for better productivity. 20% reduction in headcount to give 20% more of minimum wage is reasonable.
Yes, productivity is the key. We must ditch the laziness tag!
If an experience government servant is good in their work and able to make the nation great once again, let them extend their service.Dont get wasted on their knowledge and skills. Mostly all countries development need to go forward. Let them work and collect the taxes.
The more the productive workers are the
better they will regenerate income for the nation. This where income tax comes. Singapore, Thailand, Japan etc are practicing this formula. We got nothing to lose.

“What’s more hilarious is that MCA (has sought an apology from us) too,”

What will be much more hilarious is for the PH coalition members to think that just because MCA has now very little support from their community they have to be mute or just play dead.
Just wondering, does DAP have a fully active, functioning university open to all communities like the one MCA has now under its wing? Maybe their clueless gloating supporters can answer this one.

In the last 8 months or so, since the PH unity government was formed, was there any mention of how they are going to help Indians progress, advance their lives. Any plans or programs? Now suddenly, some politicians have come alive, just before the coming of the 6 states election, jumping onto the stage and saying so many things that are going to be beneficial for the Indian community if they vote for… Read more »
Not only the Indians but we the rest of the Rakyat have also heard many of this things many many times already, many many times before, in the last sixty years or so and if you do notice and hear, they are still talking about the Indians being the poorest of the lot past now, 23 years into 21st Century. Food for thought, sir.

Simple sense will tell you State election is for the State, State assembly and Federal election is for Federal, our Nation, and Parliament. And Parliament rules our Nation. State assembly rules the States. The States may have its own State constitution and may enjoy some minor independence but still, also has to follow the Federal Constitution and Federal instructions.

The other is weak with low parliamentary seats which means it has follow the the religious group’s biddings. It will not have much of a say in most things. The third has zero representation in Parliamentary or in… Read more »
To date all these 3 members of the Opposition coalition have not presented any viable ideas on how to govern the states or our Nation and the well being of our Rakyat and the ruling are no better. All are party based and toe the party line politicians.

Sixty years, the Indians have been hearing the same thing usually just before federal and state elections.

Despite what you have said, MIC did not get any seats to contest. This probably is due to the fact that the Indian community they claim to represent for the past sixty years or so, have over the past few years, rejected them. They have practically nil support. This is MIC’s own doing. No one else is to blame for it. The question is, will there be a change for the better in their… Read more »

They have become more like organized syndicates. Toe the party line or else is their main mantra now. The current SG has to toe the party line and this particular party in now in the gray zone not so much in black and white. Dynasties and families matters comes first.

Our people or Rakyat should look around and encourage those qualified individuals to contest in State and Federals election as Independents.
This is how in future our Nation should be governed. This is also how we Rakyat can break the ‘backbone’ of those syndicated like political parties. This idea of having half or more independents in Parliament and State assemblies should be encouraged and propagated more and more till it is achieved.
