The people of Malaysia:

This is not an ordinary win. This is biggest insult to the government which has loss all credibility on 26th. August 2008 for the following reasons:

1) Bigger majority with lesser voter turn-out, and loss of Seberang Jaya.

2) Campaigning done by the entire BN leadership (some even camped in Permatang Pauh) and the extravagance of their election campaign.

3) The entire main-stream medias and some online portals backing the BN election machineries, and condemning Anwar.

4) Misuse of Islam by swearing in the mosque and campaigning on a single issue, sodomy, and using government backed clerics to misinterprete the teachings and laws of Islam. Infiltrating and dividing the HINDRAF to garner votes from the breakaway factions.

5) The quietness of Dr Mahathir during the entire BN campaign period, in itself should have been a plus factor for the BN campaign to trounce Anwar.

6) The timing of arrests of state exco members in Perak and charging them under sex and corruption charges.

7) Finally putting in their best local candidate with the ability to attract Chinese voters by the command of his language. The local UMNO members who would have voted for the PR previously would have voted for BN now, only shows the extent of change in the ground.

In addition to the above, there are pending cases on phantom voters, and those who are not eligible to vote, etc.

Najib, do you still say this is democracy at work. You have raped the very process of democracy but still lost in this by-election.

Now with the big majority win of DSAI, the message is loud and clear to Pak Lah that we Malaysians want change.
The only way that Pak Lah can salvage his government is to take the road that is corruption free, transparent, fair to all races, unbiased, efficient, and stop treating us like idiots.
I was very pleasantly surprised that “Hello Malaysia”, over at BERNAMA aired last night from 10pm and again at 8am this morning, ALLOWED open criticism/discussion of our government’s faults and the correct way forward. Sybas to BERNAMA which, prior to this, I thought to be highly defensive of and pro UMNO.

Pak Lah should get rid of that Syed Albar who is still acting very much like a moron who believes we rakyat are really stupid not to see that the DNA bill has everything to do with DSAI sodomy case. That ex-Yemenis should refrain from personal feelings of DSAI overrides good governance. Pak Lah should reshuffle his cabinet and put more efficient and professional people who have and puts the interest of the Malaysian people first and foremost!
But then again, where can we find such people in UMNO’s and the other BN component parties’ camps??

Yes, UMNO rule is nearing the end. And the Rakyat is not going to weep tears of sorrow for UMNO but instead rejoicing at its death!

UMNO has thrown everything at Anwar including accusation of sodomy, claim that he is Jews, USA, Chinese and Indian agents, police intimidation, ACA investigation, sending 6 bus loads of phantom voters, etc, etc. But these did not stick on Anwar. Why?

Because the Rakyat's is sick with UMNO and not for the love of Anwar. The Rakyat is very sick and tired of UMNO's arrogance, corruption, wastages, abuse of power, racist policy, causing hardship to its Rakyat, incompetence in running the country and disrupting the harmony of the various races.

Anwar is the personification of what is the opposite of UMNO and the Rakyat's hope for change. It is bigger than a mere person. It is an idea that the time has come for it to flourish from North to South of Malaysia! No matter what shit or legal actions are being thrown at Anwar, people just don't care anymore! People don't care whether Anwar is a sodomist or a racist previously or a corrupt individual in the past under Mahathir's administration.

The thing is this - people are now looking beyond Anwar! They are looking at the very evil of UMNO and praying for its early demise. Anwar is that thing which represents change! Hope!

The time for this idea of change has come! Whosoever stands on its way will be swept away – be it Arif, the nice UMNO guy in Seberang Jaya, the MCA, Gerakan, MIC or any BN component parties. If these component parties in BN are so dense and could not realise this, they will be destroyed by this tsunami unwittingly unleashed by them! The only way for them to survive this calamity is for them to repent and deflect from this very root of evil which is UMNO which is causing the Rakyat to hate so much.

Nothing is as it may seem to look like.

I wish it was that simple. But in politics there are a myriad of tactical manouverings going on that a simplistic analogy would be that of a professional chess game. What we see and what we hear may not be what it will be.

I,however, do hope I am proven wrong. One reason, is because we Malaysians deserve better, much much better. Anyway, not to take away credit from where it is due, well done Malaysians of Permatang Pauh. Hopefully, the rest of us will muster enough courage to fight for what is right and fair to all.

Please remember that DSAI is no angelic politician. We should not let him think that he is so great that he does not need us rakyat to make him the PM of Malaysia. We need to watch the people he surrounds himself with as that is an indicator of the type of person he really is.

You have said it from the horses mouth and I agreed with you fully!
The writing is on the wall! The time has come to do the right thing which the Rakyat desires through this mother of all elections!. No more politics along racial lines, so as to benefit just a few politicians in power. It is also a time to forgive and close rank as a citizen of this beloved country called Malaysia, truly Asia, represented by a creed of beautiful people from Asia founded by our forebears, and became independent from colonization, through the determination and willingness of the forefathers to fight for a better life for her citizens of all races, creed and religion, as enshrined in the constitution, giving due respect to our major partner, the Malay and their religion.
This is not a time for politicking on who should continue the legacy of the “colonization” of umno/ bn, as their era has come and gone now. This is a time to come together and work for the betterment of the country’s economy, goals, and aspiration of the people to work, live, and play together, while targeting to be a developed nation in time to come.
This is a time to give due consideration to YB Anwar Ibrahim, chosen by the people to lead the people. This is a time for you and the people of right conscience to give YB Anwar the support, and to help him run the country, without fear, favour and corruption. The head has to lead by example and in time, through nurturing, education and incentives, the people will follow. Someone of your stature can do something to help. It is only human to err, but it takes more than a human to admit it, and to be forgiven. I believe YB Anwar and PR will be magnanimous to those who come forward to help them to form the next government . You can help to persuade many to join in this momentum and create history, and the people will appreciate it, I am sure. No point saving a sinking titanic in umno, so to speak, when the current of change is too strong to resist, like you said umno had turned a deaf ear to your warning in Permatang Pauh. So my hope is you don’t turn your ear away from the Rakyat wishes and your eyes from the writing on the wall too! You can make a difference to Malaysia, by joining in the momentum to declare “Merdeka” from the colonization of a few self-serving politicians and party. The mighty God is watching up there and see who walks with integrity, justice and equality. His people have been crying out all these while for His mighty hands to have good prevailed over evil. And He is doing it for His people now through His chosen man YB Anwar and PR. No man can stop it!. Repent while there is little time left! Our mighty God is watching from up there!

This self-indulgent and humiliating generation of new UMNO is the work of Madhater. Madhater hates his iNdian blood so much he wants to be a Malay. You are criticising Bodowi's regime, rightly so, for the benefit of Madhater. But me andmy family, we know he's a Nazi and communist 2-in-1, his agenda is ethnic cleansing.
From now on UMNO, like Pharoah, will be more cruel and hard on the people. They will bully not only the opposition, but the people. And UMNO families will face the wrath of God, from plagues to loss to more humiliation, before they surrender. Let's hope they do not continue to chase after the opposition, for we all know what happened in the Red Sea!

Question: Will the current government learn from this defeat or will they continue to use their ridiculous approach (such as: Sodomy, corruption and racism) to tarnish Anwar?

If there's a better website, i will put all my money that the current government are too proud and ignorant to learn from their mistakes. They're probably too dumb too.

Quoting from what i wrote on my blog:

"First Sodomy, now there is a claim of Anwar receiving 60mil and ACA are investigating just based on a statement made when Najib is able to walk free without any investigation when there is a SD issued that he knew the mongolian?"

I am pretty sure that IF these cases doesn't work out, they will find another way to bring down Anwar.
