By-election on April 7

EC could not disagree if the public having perception that they listen to the ruling federal government.
Firstly, their unconstitutional rejection of resignation of 2 assemblymen as submitted by Perak Speaker, resulting the grab of power by BN coalition.
And now, EC announced the by-election nomination date on 29 March and poling date on 7th April, 57th day after the seats are vacant.
The nomination is1 day after the UMNO assembly from 24~28th of March, at that time, UMNO election is settle, less infighting within UMNO and they could unite to face the election.
The poling day is 1 week after Najib take over power as 6th PM of Malaysia, hoping the wave of new PM could assist BN in the by-elections.
The poling date is on tuesday, a working day. EC said if the voters are keen to vote, they shall take leave from working. How can they take care of UMNO election but ignore the most important voters' rights.
But that is Malaysia politics, until we make the change.

The more they do it, the more the people hate BN. It is not like d olden day whereby the people have no access to media other than the government controlled media. Do they think we are all stupid?

They conveniently chose to ignore the 1st term break for schools during 14-22 March simply because it is inconvenient for UMNO/BN to have the by-elections before UMNO's general assembly!
