RAKYAT MERDEKA

I am back from dinner, sitting in the cosy Kota Damansara Starbucks sipping my cafe latte, smiling, felt good with the victory. Truth will prevail. We put the People's Power into practice. Makkal Sakthi!!!

Just like Pakatan Rakyat poster, we see hope. Big or small or even a glimpse of hope, it definitely the best gift to the country in conjunction of her 51st birthday. Merdeka!!! Merdeka!!! Merdeka!!!

Not just an ordinary win. A win with majority bigger than the 8th March political tsunami. People had enough of Dollah & his chronies. I was having a drink with a friend with accounting background working for KPMG, he said he is worried Anwar's win will vent foreign investors into the country, economy instability. Well my friend, in the first place, who called Anwar an American agent, British agent, Turkey agent, Chinese agent, etc. Giving the benefit of the doubt, can we also label Anwar as the foreign investor agent as well? And on economy instability, look at any ministers in our Cabinet right now, any of them with some economy sense with the country recording the all time high 8.5% inflation?

I am not sure what Anwar can do but I have faith in the changes he is bringing in. This changes are very much needed not for Malay, Chinese, Indian or any minority etnic of the country but this changes will do good for BANGSA RAKYAT MALAYSIA. I do not want to be Malaysia Chinese, I want to be know as Malaysia Malaysian.

Now the country is not in distress, the Malaysian flag for this week will definitely fly high and who is distress now? The rakyat buried BN & UMNO alive.

Still awaiting the final majority. Pity the Chinese speaking Arif for being UMNO's scapegoat. Let's celebrate!!!

UPDATES (10.21PM): Anwar won with a landslide win with a majority of 15,671 votes.

Latest news courtesy of Malaysian Insider, at 6.25PM, EC's secretary announced that 38,144 or just below 70% voters had cast their ballot. A MP and his son was hit being ghostbusters. Full live feed only from Malaysian Insider.

Hopefully a Merdeka for rakyat at 8PM later when the result is announce.

Stay tune.

UPDATES (7.45PM): Results are being announced randomly. Khabar angin saying Anwar won big in most of the counting centres. Let's kill the pregnant white hair man political career.

UPDATES (7.51PM): Some PKR sources hinted that Anwar will win with a majority of 18000 and above. Wow!!! Hope this is true. Dollah, WAKE UP!!! :P

NEW UPDATES, NEW POSTER, NEW MALAYSIA here.

Permatang Pauh - The Verdict

UPDATES (6.10PM): It was reported that Dollah the sleepyhead flew back to Kuala Lumpur from Penang. Is Dollah accepting the fact that he is losing and there will be no celebration later in BN camp? Poll results expected to be announced at 8PM tonight.

UPDATES (5.38PM): Statistics - Anwar won 61% of vote based on PKR exit polls. If 80% of registered voters in PP turnout, it means that Anwar gained 28,000 votes compared to Arif 18,000 votes. Source: Malaysiakini

UPDATES (5.32PM): A friend msg saying DSAI won with majority more than 10,000 votes. I cannot assure about the fact but this friend has connection with the media ;)

Many political bloggers blogged live on this. Voting just ended at 5PM. According to Malaysian Insider, votes are not tallied yet but phantom voters and police reports of violence have been. Opposition claims at least five buses of phantom voters while Botak Minister has called this by-election the most violent in our history with 70 police reports made since the Aug 16 nomination day.

Violence? Hmm... Hopefully some good news, a win is expected for Anwar, the matter is how big the margin is. Datuk Seri Wan Azizah won with a majority of 13,000 during the last 8th March political tsunami.

Stay tune, hopefully I can update on the verdict. Blogging live now at Starbucks, Kota Damansara. As at 5.15PM, a fellow friend sent an MSN message, "Anwar won the by-election", will confirm on this later.

On a separate note, have any Maxis users experiencing network problem yesterday? Called up Maxis customer service, was told that the whole of Selangor may experience the problem. My phone was out for at least an hour last evening.

Cheers!

Permatang Pauh By-Election - Final Online Campaign

I was unable to join the rest of other prominent political bloggers in Permatang Pauh. But sehati sejiwa, we should get our prayers answered. Just read Uncle Zorro's latest post from the blogger op centre in Permatang Pauh, you guys rock!!!

Penangites, it's holiday on the 26th for you, this holiday is not just some casual holiday, this day will determine our children & country future. Let's put the People's Power into practise. Makkal Sakthi!!! So, it was reported on MSM that AMK of PKR responsible for the reporter bashing. Before that look at the picture below. Who bashed who?





OK, OK. Some might say PKR people sew it to the vest and snapped the picture and circulated it in the internet. OK, fine. How about this? Remember the Imam in the picture below?



Now, here's the twist. Ustaz Ramlang Porigi who officiated Sai-fool's much publicised swearing on Quran appeared at PKR's ceramah last night and this was what he said,

"SAYA DIARAHKAN"

Hmm... diarahkan by who? Read here, here & here. The choice is clear. Very clear indeed. Will we see another Lin Dan - Lee Chong Wei tomorrow? All the best Pakatan Rakyat!!!

Permatang Pauh - Malaysian Hope

With 2 days to go to Permatang Pauh by-election, I have my duty to spread the news to as many possible. I am not a person who fancy any individual but I am sure I want to see a change in this sad state of Malaysia. For 50 years, this country had been ruled by one political coalition, the BN. Look at the States, British, from Labor to Democrat, from Democrat to Republic, who are the one afraid of change? The BN warned of economical instability if Pakatan Rakyat (PR) is to rule, the BN also warned that Malays' rights will not be uphold should PR form the government. These are mere sayings, have we actually given PR a chance to administrate our country? The logic is simple, it is about people's power, if PR fails us, we kick them out the next election. What is BN afraid of? Or why the component parties in BN fail to voice themselves up?

Not everyone can be a politician. I am not a fan of DSAI but his charisma, his influence, his knowledge & wisdom and his logic overshadowed any other politician in the BN. I believe Tun Mahathir perhaps is the closest rival to DSAI if he is still at power. Badawi just flip-flop too much, his family and his personal life had made him the worst Prime Minister of Malaysia. His poor command of English and his constant caught in the act catching cat-nap in seminars, conferences, meetings, etc - how can this guy run a country?

Like many Malaysians, we do want to see a CHANGE. Permatang Pauh belongs to the PR, until Datuk Seri Wan Azizah sacrificed it to allow his husband to contest the by-election. This is not about an individual, this is about the agenda & manifesto of a political coalition. I definitely do not want the Permatang Pauh be represented by some bogus PhD holder. Let's go for a checkmate! Vote PR!

And do check out the video on Arif Shah courtesy of The Dandelions, you better believe it, it's true, it's true...



The choice is clear innit?

Pictures You Do Not See On Local Media

Talking about free media, I am very God-damn-sure that you do not see this in the local mainstream media. Open up the paper this week, headings against the Opposition spreaded all over, NST, The Star, Utusan, you name it. PKR Youth whacked journalists, PKR Youth Samseng lah.

Before that, check out the pictures courtesy of Uncle Zorro.





OK. OK. Sometimes we guys tend to be naughty. But wait a moment, BN UMNO girls so called Puteri are naughty too :)



So bloggers are liars huh? Hmm... botak, botak...


And on separate note, congratulations to all passes winners for the Levi's Unbuttoned Launch Party specially for MikeMmery readers. Thanks to kind personnel from Levi's who also blog for the passes. All winners will receive their passes via courier service tomorrow.



Enjoy the party peeps!
