Money Power temporary Leads
Congratulation to BN, again proof that money still powerful in any buy-election.
Frankly, it is hard for the Chinese society to resist the "corruption promise" of RM3mil for the school. Similarly, it is hard for the Felda settlers to reject the "gifts" of RM50,000 that they have been waiting for since 1994. After all, it is hard to wait the YB to pass away in your constituency to held the by-election.
Pakatan Rakyat lost 1725 votes or 3.5% among the 48935 voted, even they placed an iconic leaders of PKR. PR should treat this a serious alerts if they want to march into Putrajaya.
However, it is just a by-election, it is a sad day but not the end of day. Looking at the good parts of the defeat, carry out a deep analysis and post-mortem. The journey of change is not so simple and needs a longer struggles.
We achieve some good things through this by-election:
a) A better and committed co-operation among the coalitions, the leaders are more comfortable and confident sitting together in any occasions and any attacks on the coalitions by BN no longer works. A stronger coalitions is shaping up.
b) An opportunity to know more about the weak areas among the voters. Probably, PR should carry out more campaign and show them a good visions to convince more people especially those are still believe that only BN could bring development.
c) Carry out campaign for "voter get voters" to bring more qualify voters to register.
Of course, there are more to suggest from the political experts, but do it from now.
The majority is narrow, even though tons of money thrown in by BN. The winning by BN is temporary and a bigger battle is coming. Thus, the hope is still bright but the PR needs to work harder.
A fight of MARUAH
Anwar said this is a fight of MARUAH, a self-respect and dignity, in front of close to 15,000 attendees in the ceramah tonight.
Yes, this is a fight of MARUAH. The way BN campaign had shown their desperation, throwing money like "no government control", giving empty promises like last few elections, control the media, using all government vehicles, etc to buy and threaten votes.
In the report, BN had given close to RM60million in a combination of projects and cash to the voters. They also promise to keep their PROMISES MADE IN 1994 to settle the Felda settler. The settlers are lucky as they have by-election.
Whatever it is, our last hope that the by-election is conducted clean and that ZAID will win this election to keep our MARUAH and HOPE of Malaysia.

Biar Tukar Sekali Sehabis-habisnya
I am still busy setting up the new office and also on travelling mode. I got into a taxi this morning at LCCT to Putrajaya and the Malay driver, who originally from Perak, start chatting with me. He was a bit careful initially and asked me what I think about the by-election at Hulu Selangor.
I said I am supporting for change and in this case, I support Zaid Ibrahim. He was a bit relief and told me, "ya, biar tukar satu kali sehabis-habisnya." Now I understand his carefulness initially as he thought that I might bec related or worked for the government and "kebanyakan pekerja kerajaan takut undi pembankang", he said.
Yes, I might related to the government but the government is not owned by BN. A lot of people could not differentiate this.
The Hulu Selangor is important to continue the spirit of change among the people.
The driver said he did not agreed BN tactic of using alcohol issue on Zaid, probably BN have no other tactics. I agreed.
YB MCA Leow & Yen Yen, do you know that you are holding hands with someone who said Malay First and attacking someone who fight for the anti-racism? Do you know that if they can not accept Zaid for holding alcohol, can they accept your new President for naked in the CD?
Kamal+Alan+Nathan, do you know that you are kissing someone who ignore your President's choice of candidate? or might be you kiss to thank him for choosing you.
I think, what the driver said this morning is correct, "tak endah semua orang itu, biar tukar sekali sehabis-habisnya"

2-Malaysia
(picture source - voize.com)
When the DPM Muhyiddin said 1 Malaysia means "Malay 1, Malaysian 2", we can understand that he might have confused about the concept of 1-Malaysia.
But when PM Najib, the father of 1 Malaysia said there is nothing wrong with "Malay 1, Malaysian 2", now our turn to get confuse, it seemed like it is us the Rakyat that do not understand the concept of 1 Malaysia.
If follow this logic, all different races should think this way:
Chinese 1, Malaysian 2.
Indian 1, Malaysian 2.
Kadazan 1, Malaysian 2, etc..
Then we should called 2-Malaysia instead of 1-Malaysia.
What a joke in this April Fool Day.
Seemed like we are the fool that still trust them.
