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.
