P44 - Permatang Pauh
12TH General Election Result
Registered Voters - 58449
Turnout - 47934
BN - 16950
PKR - 30348
Spoil Votes - 636
Majority - 13398
The fight is on after PKR leader Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail submitted her resignation and pave way for her husband to stand in the by election. PKR is confident of retaining the seat and BN taking the underdog position.
Malaysiakini has this report:
Najib: Permatang Pauh tough for BN
Barisan Nasional expects a tough time in its bid to defeat Anwar Ibrahim in the forthcoming Permatang Pauh by-election, said Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
You seldom see BN playing the underdog position in any elections, be it the General Elections or By Elections. They always start screaming that they are confident of winning, this and that, even the recent 12TH GE, Badawi is so confident of recapturing Kelantan and a big landslide victory.
What happen to this by election in Permatang Pauh, they have lost their voices and admitted that its tough. So they are going in as underdog, playing the act for sympathy votes. They know that the chances of winning is very slim but I won't be surprised if dirty tactics are being used to ensure that BN will come out victorious.
I am not surprised if the EC chairman is now having deep discussion with umno to determine the best polling date, searching through all the rules and regulations for any small loophole that can disqualify Anwar, postal votes, phantom voters and whatever they can get hold of to declare BN the winner.
PKR must be on the alert for any hanky panky by the EC and umno. They are sure trying their best not to allow Anwar to sail into parliament that easily.
Calling all Permatang Pauh voters, please ensure that BN does not just lose but lose the deposit as well. Show Badawi and umno that we the rakyat are fed up with their flip-flop way of running the country. Just change! Berubar Kerajaan

Who Are More Hypocrite?
I say the one who like to criticize others who are easy prey and dare not against the mighty are the most hypocrite.
Report from Malaysiakini:
“The Pakatan Rakyat governments are no different from the previous ones after all. They are hypocrites by copying BN media policy to serve their cynical self interests,” said its coordinator B K Ong, stressing Media Watch’s stand on governments to ‘stay away’ from media publications.
By following the precedent set by his predecessor, Ong said Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had proven to be a hypocrite since “he had condemned BN-controlled media all these years.”
“He should have titled the magazine as Suara Kerajaan (Government Voice) not Suara Rakyat (People’s Voice),” he said.
Times are hard, save money
B K Ong should knows better than calling the Penang Government to stay away from media publication. To him umno/bn control medias are the only true source of news, reliable and honest, so no other people can challenge the umno/bn rule and that is precisely what B K Ong and gang want.
Times are hard, save money
B K Ong and gang are concern citizens who will only condemn those who spend a small amount of the rakyat money but are quiet about umno/bn who squandered in billions of the rakyat money. Good for them.
If B K Ong and gang are so concern about the 300,000 ringgit please take the government to court and let the court stop the publication. From there I suggest the PR government call for donation from the public and I am very sure within a very short period they can easily raise the 300,00 ringgit without any fuss.
Do not always bark at the wrong issue, B K Ong and Gang, there are bigger issues at Federal level that needs you and your gang to bark at.

Civil Society Groups At It Again
Our civil society groups are at it again. They are always so quick to condemn but slow to give credit where its due.
Malaysiakini just release this report:
The Penang and Perak governments may have to spend RM300,000 annually to bring out two state-funded magazines and civil society groups are saying it’s a waste of public funds to spend on propaganda publications.
The magazines have yet to hit the street and nobody knows what will be the contents and these civil society groups are labeling it as propaganda publications. Can't they see it in a more positive manner and wait for the publication to be released before jumping high and low just because they are from the Pakatan Rakyat.
What is RM300,000 compare to the 3 million over ringgit on the Mercedes and I have not heard them cursing and swearing just because they are too frighten of umno.
Penang State Government had canceled the new orders for the exco vehicles and that saving can compensate for the publications. Whats the big deal man, where umno/bn can spend billions on projects that are not beneficial to the rakyat.
Please for heaven sake stop crying over a small matter where you have more urgency to rid off those corruptions of umno/bn.

GABEM You Are The Man
A very interesting call by The Federation of Malay Economic Bodies (GABEM) which wants the Government to act against “irresponsible parties” who have eroded investor confidence in the country through their actions such as holding street demonstrations.
Update: Malaysiakini blog roll title:-"Street protests = shaky investor confidence" by Mustafa K Anua. Malaysiakini can be reached here.
Chairman Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik said that by challenging the law they had tarnished the country’s image and caused international rating agencies to give Malaysia a lower rating.
He also attributed the loss in investor confidence to the action of “a certain politician who sought political asylum at a foreign embassy” which gave the world a bad image of Malaysia.
“I wish to remind these people, whatever their actions and agendas, to realise that what they do will affect the people’s prosperity.
Read the full story Here.
I fully support your call, GABEM, you are the man, if what you mentioned are the causes for the loss in investor confidence.
I hope you can also agree with me that there are quite a few things that umno/bn does that certainly attributed to the loss in investor confidence as well. Will you want to take action against them?
The NEP policy is the greatest cause of eroding investor confidence in the country. Please will GABEM ask the government to take action against umno/bn.
The recent actions by the country police force, road blocking and commando style arrest of an innocent citizen when the appointed time is not due reflect a very poor image of the country thus causing the loss in investor confidence.
Another major cause of eroding investor confidence in the country is CORRUPTION. Can GABEM take action against the PM for not walking his talk to rid off corruption in his 2004 general election promise and followed by his various flip-flop speeches.
There are still many points to raise but I request GABEM to request the government to take immediate action on the above three points. Government To Take Action Against The Government ???@#$@# What a way to attract investor confidence...

Malaysiakini: Opposition Pledges Yet Unfulfilled
Malaysiakini headline highlights the opposition pledges yet to be fulfilled. You can read Malaysiakini report here.
Why only the opposition pledges are always under the reporters or journalists radar. It seems like our country is producing journalists and reporters who are train to attack the weakest link on governance.
The mandate on the 8/3/08 gives the opposition five years to run the states they are in control. Yes there are promises and pledges during the election campaigns. We have to dissect and take a good look inside the promises and pledges. The reporters and journalists are all very well educated and should understand why some pledges and promises cannot be fulfilled immediately. Is there any election laws that require winning parties to fulfill their promises and pledges the next day they take over governance?
I seldom see BN being targeted or questioned on their non fulfillment of their promises and pledges for the past 12 general election, in fact some goes against their promises and pledges. Why are they not attack on a frequent basis?
The journalists and reporters must be able to see and read all sides of the stories fairly for both the opposition and ruling parties. You cannot be afraid to write the truth even if you have to step the toes of those in power.
I agree that Pakatan Rakyat should concentrate more on running the states they are in control rather then preoccupied on power grabbing.
One important thing that the reporters and journalists must pursue is to get the Federal Government to allocate equal funding to all states irrespective of who is governing. They must be reminded that the money belongs to the rakyat and the taxes they collect comes from the rakyat throughout the country. Can the reporters and journalists dare to question where are our money gone to?
