DAP-PKR-PAS to form gov’t in Perak - 4.01am

The combined opposition of DAP, PKR and PAS said that they will form the new government in Perak. Collectively the three parties have won 30 seats (DAP - 18, PKR - 6, PAS - 6) out of 59 seats. One seat (Teja) is yet to be decided.

However, the opposition still will have a narrow one-seat majority even if Teja goes to BN. About 50 opposition supporters are attempting to seal off the state government building in Ipoh to stop documents from being removed.

The makkal shakthi tsunami is too much to bear for the BN I suppose. Congrats to all those who win and hope you will serve for the rakyat.

What a time! I can't believe this. BN had been denied the 2/3 majority in the parliament. Several big names fallen and most importantly Samy Velu beaten in Sungai Siput. What more you want being a Perakian?

Being a Malaysian for 30 years... I'm proud to say Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

I will sleep peacefully now... and hoping you too!

ciao!

EC: Indelible ink will not be usedMar 4, 08 4:55pm

The Election Commission has cancelled the use of indelible ink for this general election, citing public order and security issues.

The stunning announcement was made at a press conference in Putrajaya this afternoon - four days before polling.

EC chairperson Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman said the commission was obliged to make a "firm and final decision to ensure the smooth conduct of the 12th general election".

According to Abdul Rashid, the use of the indelible ink could infringe the constitutional right of a voter to cast his vote, especially if the commission tries to bar someone from voting for having an ink marked in his finger.

"From a practical point of view, the issuance of a ballot paper to such a voter would render the EC's proposal meaningless and will not bring about a positive result, whilst having the potential to create misunderstanding as well as altercations and arguments at polling stations," he said.

Ah! Perfect reason by the EC chief that it would create confusion and misunderstanding at the polls station. But.. what confusion? What misunderstanding?

Definitely it will creates confusion lah if you're a 'pengundi hantu' and you just voted early in the morning at one constituency and after taking your free lunch provided by those you know who and trying to made your second attempt to vote at another constituency with your finger marked with the ink. I mean, by what else can be the confusion came from, Rashid?

Can you imagine the logic EC chief using when he said that the Federal Constitution gives Malaysians the right to vote and a black mark on the fingernail should not bar people from exercising this right. He also further claims that loophole can only be removed with a constitutional amendment, which requires a vote by parliament, which has been dissolved for elections to take place.

My question is why on earth a sane person who wants sincerely votes on the coming election, would want to mark his finger with the ink and being barred from voting in the polls station. Would you Malaysians do those things? Are Malaysians that stupid according to Rashid?
Biadap!

BTW, talking about Malaysiakini, they are offering to everybody free access to their portal until March 10 besides their Malay version which is already free to access now. So, what you waiting for? Surf la!

ciao!

A call to all Anak Kelantan by Tok Guru...

Just as the Ashabul Fil were ‘jealous’ of Mecca’s success in attracting religious pilgrims to its temple of worship, Umno is also itching to take over Kelantan to reap its untapped economic potential for its own gain, said Nik Aziz.

However, just as the chieftain of Mecca at the time could not dream of winning over his much larger and better equipped foreign foe,Nik Aziz said Kelantanese have only God to invoke to “defend the leadership of th e ulama in Kelantan”.

“They fight us with (their) radio programmes, yet they do not give us a permit for (for a radio station). They fight us with television (programmes), yet they do not give us permits for television stations. They fight us with money, (but) we don’t have money,” he said.

“Oh my Lord, I am incapable of defending Your religion in Kelantan, because they are attacking the leadership there in all sorts of ways. We ask that You defend your religion in Kelantan as You defended the Kabah against the Ashabul Fil!”.

If you Kelantanese people don't go and vote there, then somebody else is willing to go there and vote for you. There had been reports saying that PAS has proof of an alleged plan byBarisan Nasional (BN) to bring in voters from outside to cast their ballots in Kelantan and Terengganu.

PAS: BN to bring outside votersAzreen Madzlan | Mar 3, 08 7:56pm

PAS today claimed that it has proof of an alleged plan by Barisan Nasional (BN) to bring in voters from outside to cast their ballots in Kelantan and Terengganu.

At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, press secretary to PAS president Roslan Shahir Mohd Shahir and PAS Youth secretary Ahmad Sabki Yusof said they have received information regarding this.

They said PAS has been tipped off on the schedule of the buses which will allegedly ferry this voters from other states, including university students.

According to the duo, BN will be allegedly paying these voters between RM300 and RM600 per person.

Remember 2004? PAS managed only one seat more than BN to retain the Kelantan state in their grip. I assume that it was the 'over confidence' of the Kelantanese people staying abroad who neglected their responsibility in the last election which has cost them dearly!

So, this time around Kelantanese people, don't let the banana 'berbuah untuk kali kedua' !

ciao!
