PAS win in Permatang Pasir – What is BN excuse?

Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony

Result

Pas Mohd Salleh 9,618 and BN 5,067. PAS candidate stood and lost 6 times before this. The 7th time he contested the might of Pakatan Rakyat swept him to victory.

Some reflection on by -election.

PAKATAN RAKYAT whether represented by PAS, PKR or even DAP has won every by-election in West Malaysia. It even come to a point the BN “surrender” the contest citing dubious reasons trying to shed bad image on PR. BN efffort to sabotage the by-election failed miserably.

Did Pakatan Rakyat made a lot of noise over the many wins?

PR went about their humble way. Bringing no instant noodle and VIP visits, no slander of BN leadership and most of all offer concrete plan to bring change to the people in Penang based on the principle of “fairness” and “transparent” in their dealing.

The only seat that BN won in Lubok Antu – almost every minute of the day through the news (TV/Radio) on top of the news papers shout BN victory and spelling out the doom of PR.

In Manek Urai BN claimed to have win back people support – Najib is the great “dear leader” and a “100 day record” as PM never being seen before. The by-election result in Permatang Pasir say it all.

The scum in PKR

Lunas resigning from PKR – a former post office employee with many “baggages” under his arms. BN supporters talk like PR is going to fall tomorrow. My point is, it will not be happening and PR will continue to rule Kedah.

We have another potential scum from PKR in Selangor. A man who is without money to pay for his deposit on election day and never went to te counting centre because he knows he will fail. The people voted for PKR – not the person and the seat was won by PKR. Today such scum is open for BN to buy.

To me, BN would be very stupid to buy such a “dirty frog” because BN will not win the seat again. The people voted for change and they have chosen PKR to bring the change. Changes are taking place in Selangor.

BN situation now

BN continue with their big propaganda. In Sarawak – it is yet to be seen what are the effect of the consistency of PR election performance. BN Sarawak talked confidently but do not be too sure that is really what they feel inside of them.

With a sick Taib, and with no successor in sight that would open the PBB YBs to greed and power struggle is expected. That would provide an opportunity for PR to penetrate into Sarawak.

Dato Seri Tiong

SPDP ATM machine Dato Seri Tiong is heavily distracted by PKFZ scandal. He showed all his childish way in dealing with MCA. It clearly show his lack of experience in things beyond buying and promising financial favors. Taib or Najib will settle the problem.

MCA made all the moves. SPDP remained dumb.

Well, what do you expect from BN component party in Sarawak – the “boss” instruction is say nothing and do nothing. That they do very well. It does not require brain to do that. Just enjoy the economic reward organize by the boss and just try to do something for the people a bit.

No serious work has been done in rural areas

If serious work has really been done in Sarawak the question is why are we still poor. The Agriculture department has been sacrifice without development budget and the rural people suffer without new crops and renewal of cash crops planting.

The land development scheme is only good for investor and the government of sarawak coffer. Then the money would again be misused – what is the point as it is channel to provide income for political leaders private business.

The community is not organize to be self sustaining

Seldom you will hear that YBs spent time to organize the people into co-operatives, NGOs, community services, social work organization – because these are the things that move people towards progress.

BN love to give away MRP because that is the easiest and it doesn’t require any serious work. You can even see YB Mong Dagang giving away $2K for longhouses development and look very satisfied having done so. You give “peanut” one day you will get monkeys.

Conclusion

Change We Must require strong will without self doubting.

Dayakbaru should remain focus on achieving goals for Dayak. To achieve that goal we cannot hide behind “office wall” or “go under ground” to do things that will bring progress to our Dayak community.

We must remain forever true to our Dayak race and Change We Must.

Hidup Dayak Sarawak!

    good for opposition in peninsular, but bad for us because we gave the opposition a humiliation by losing to BN. i think only in sarawak (or maybe even sabah) BN can win

    A win for a PAS`s candidate was expected. Should the polling day was held on not working day, the percentage of turn out voting would be higher and the PAS`s vote-majority would be more. Many BN`s leaders expected their candidate could win the by-election, especially UMNO vice-president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who confidently said that BN had managed to penetrate the opposition (Pakatan Rakyat) strongholds in Permatang Pasir. He further said `the black areas were not black anymore`.

    Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin who believed ` wind of change ` in Permatang Pasir was disappointed the constituents did not vote for change and they were comfortable as to not to want development.

    Yes, ` a politic of development ` cannot be seen as a sophisticated weapon used by BN to win the election.

    The outcome of Permatang Pasir by-election had clearly manifestated that PM’s 1Malaysia is a total FAILURE.Even in a Malay majority area like Permatang Pasir 1Malaysia is not that marketable.

    The gimmick should be deleted completely.For us in Sarawak it is TOTALLY USELESS.

    Top 10 BN Excuses In Permatang Pasir Defeat

    10. Pakatan Penang declare public holiday on that voting day. Huh!
    9. Having two wives shouldn’t be too secretive…Shhh!!!
    8. In any swindle, make sure you pay your law firm partner-in-crime equally and in full.
    7. Wind of change can move..er..to other opposite direction eh?
    6. Why try to prove phantom voters when it’s all your own-planted goons before? (And such a bad joke for EC!)
    5. Not enough Nuri helicopters being used and abused for campaign.
    4. Should bring more instant noodle project$$$ then.
    3. When PAS claimed it’s enough to win by 1-vote majority, so now it means multiply by – erm – 4000 times?
    2. Ezam didn’t make much speech anymore…hmmm.
    1. Probably Nik Aziz is right afterall…vote PAS and shall enter heaven, automatically!

    nya ct ari msj rkyat ti mdh ke cda bdau ulih nrima politik putar belit ari BN. Ngelama tu TPM selalu ngelanyai sereta bejai anwar ngau nik aziz tang rakyat ulih meda,sapa betul sapa enda. Rakyat semenanjung enda ulih dimain sida enggau duit enggau projek tang sida candidate sereta nma tuju prjuangan sida. TOO different with our political culture..True or not??? Uji lah pngundi kitai di Sarwak berubah awakka perintah kitai rasa tergugat. Enti kitai ndai inisiatif ka berubah ba politik,sigi alu jung ya meh bansa kitai tinggal ba pemansang. Politik tradisional mesti diubah agai trend politik moden. Reti ya peranan nembiak baru ke bepelajar tinggi baka DJB tu penting. Ti ulih,kitai arap ke bala dayak ke nydi lawyer involve dlm DB. Laban kitai meda di semenanjung raban lawyer ti myuh ngering ka parti penyakal ba menua nya. Sida bisi kelebihan ba undang2 baka aki kitai Karpal enggau bala anak iya. Kelimpah ari nya,kitai mega beguna ke lebih mayuh support ari nembiak dayak ke rebak baru laban undi sida tu paling penting dalam perubahan politik. Pelaba aku,golongan tu meh ti ngubah arena politik di semenanjung ba PRU ti udah lalu ngujung ke pak lah tusah ati lalu enggai makai..hehhehe

  8. Futurist on August 26th, 2009 1:54 pm

    The score now 7 – 1 and we’re counting…

    Never in BN history they’re so good in trailing for 2nd position despites carrots and sticks, racist statements, and media spinning. Keep it up BN!!! 1Malaysia concept was rejected by Permatang Pasir folks.

    Media also reported there might be another 2 by-elections (1 in DUN Kota Siputeh, Kedah and Rompin Parliamentary seat Pahang).

  9. Banting on August 26th, 2009 7:57 pm

    The personality character of the candidate contributed to the winning factor. The voters in the constituency had made their choice by voting the candidate who is humble, responsible, integrity and credibility. The development and nationhood issues are irrelevant.

  10. Tapang on August 26th, 2009 8:52 pm

    Congratulation to Pas!But my personal opinion Pakatan Politik Pas/Dap/PKR are still not a viable
    parti politik to replace BN.

    we NEED Change but we don’t have viable,reliable
    option from existing opposition figure. Unless we
    sarawakian bisi strong influential leader and commanding character or otherwise we will wallup completely by bunch of lawyer for this Pakatan Politik Dap pas PKR.

    Aku bedau meda sarawakian leader can play acting to perfection and convincing baka pakatan politik pas/Dap enggau parti membebaskan Anwar PKR.

    Semua tempat yang menjadi PRK itu adalah kawasan PAS atau PKR.Yang kawasan PAS itu kerana YBs dia meninggal dan satu kawasan BN juga YBnya meninggal dunia.Memang patut kawasan yg telah dimenangi parti masing2 dapat menang kembali,kerana itu kawasan mereka.Lainlah kawasan itu dulu kawasan BN tapi bila PRK di adakan PR yang menang!Barulah dapat dibanggakan!Ini dia punya testing ground.Strenght kedua parti ini dalam PRK yang sudah2 itu,baik BN atau PR tidaklah dapat menjadi tanda aras siapa yg betul2 kuat.Cuma di Manek Urai BN nampak ada kuat sebab dia dapat menurunkan majoriti PAS 65 undi,begitu jua di Permatang Pasir.Menang memang menang tapi penyokong PAS menurun.Di sarawak kelak ada banyak perkara kita nak fikir:Apakah DAP dapat jadi penganti SUPP?Itu kena tanya kaum Cina sendiri.Apakah PKR dapat jadi penganti PBB?,sebab PBB adalah multi-ethnic parti(melayu,melanau,dayak,orang ulu,kedayan dll) kecuali bangsa cina tak ada.SPDP,PRS juga mewakili bangsa Dayak.Dalam PBB juga ada wakil bangsa Dayak.Jika PKR menang di sarawak dan Anwar Ibrahim akan jadi penentu2 dasar sarawak.Bukan kaum dayak sarawak lagi.Mana yang rapat dihati kaum dayak,mereka orang politik dari Malaya atau orang politik bangsa dayak sendiri?Benarkah Anwar dapat menolong bangsa dayak sedangkan dia bukan orang sarawak.tenguk di Perak,P Pinang siapa berkuasa,team Anwar atau team DAP?Kekuatan suara Anwar dalam PKR hanyalah 33%,India-33% dan Cina-33%.Jangan lupa suara cina melalui DAP-100%.Ini bermakna gabungan Pakatan Rakyat yg dominan ialah DAP.DAP nak ganti UMNO jika PR menang nanti.Mereka cakap BN perkauman,tetapi semua parti politik adalah perkauman.Kalau tidak perkauman cuba buktikan.Sarawak dah macam P Pinang,ketua menteri melanau,timbalan2 Jabu dan George Chan.Kalau CM Dayak,timbalan melanau dan cina?no problem.kalau PR pegang siapa CM?kaum dayak pun boleh.tapi suara PKR hanya 33% dari kaum bumi.

We have to erase this phobia once and for all and if we want to have a change, then everthings and attitudes has to be change,too.Dayak has to stand on your own feet now.anang alah tegah orang idup anak Dayak for Sarawak we will change.

    BN gomen has nothing to worry about as this by election doesn’t affect the strengh of BN at all. After all it’s fair to say PR, PAS win the by election as it is their area. BN should be proud as they can reduce the majority votes. If you look at the Batang Ai by election the majority of votes won by BN is increasing. What does it shows to DB or the opposition.
    It means the people of Sarawak in general are getting more matured as days goes by. Its also reflected that development has reached far to the interior of Sarawak. It’s not 100% percent yet reachable by mobile phone or able to receive full TV channel coverage as this is due to the vast land of Sarawak. Dayaklama believed that BN gomen are really trying hard to bring development to the people of Sarawak.
    The case of Malaya people, these people are more develop than Sarawak as the whole land mass of malaya are almost equivalent the state of Sarawak alone and yet it was further divided by 12 states including WP. You can see the boundary after driving 2-3 hrs across one state to another and that is the reason they are more progress as you see. In politic they are no wiser than the Sarawak people. They sometimes still believed in the opposition propaganda as to them whoever rule does not affected their lives as well. As what i said they are more progress as they did not cry for roads,good TV coverage and in short infrastructures. After all they can go from one state to another to look for jobs and they can drive back home every weekend to see their love ones. PAS able to retain Kelantan not because they can bring development or create jobs for the local but because they can effectively use Islam to threaten the people of Kelantan. One example is ” kalau dok pangkah bulan, tak masuk syurga “.The young Kelantan are scattered everywhere in the tanah semenanjung.
    Having said that, to date only BN is having the credibility to be the gomen.

    Hello my Good friend Unggal DL good morning, udah bulih penamu baru ? and welcome back. Here I only have few points maybe unggal bedau nemu tauka enda kala bejalai ngagai menoa ulu. Aku nemu bala kaban di menoa ulu mayoh bisi mobile phone tang kemayoh agi enti deka betalipun mesti niki ka punjung bukit, di mua rumah tauka di belakang rumah tauka di penalaman lapa baka nya ko aku ? laban nadai Line dalam rumah. TV channels nya pen enda olih nankap enti enda ngena Parabola. Kasih amat sida tu H/P mayah begetang ba dinding tang enda oleh di kena enti enda ka pasar. Tu di peda enggau tubuh mata aku empu. BN is trying hard to bring development to the state that’s good but how long can the people wait and dosen’t they know they are opening ways for people not to say opposition party but the rakyat themselves will say “Empty promises” gomen.I still remember one of the road linking a small town to SRI AMAN was builded 40 yrs ago until today bedau di TAR.Baka ni kitai oleh nyilat jako orang laban orang bisi mata meda. We should be thankful to be corrected by the rakyat and even the opposition. If makan Chillis kita rasa pedas then look for a solution to over come it not to condemn ? and plan all sort of tricks to threaten the people that not a human way because they spoke out their problems so we have to help them to solve their problems and not threatening them. If you are sick and go to see a Doctor and( Dr.)He/She threaten you and say to you that you will die in two days time may you will drop death instantly.

    As for young Kelantan they should use their brain instead of their nose most of them are highly educated and they have the right to choice so that’s out of our jurisdiction we better stay in our own boat, for my dear friend DL I respect your decision BN and only BN is having the credibility to be the gomen that’s your choice. but for others they maybe different so first of all us must respect one other jagan sampai BN members begaduh sama sediri you who are those people lah.continue writing please it is good that we share our differences if all are black where is the white so no hard feeling ok. thank

  21. Nansang Kid on August 29th, 2009 9:11 am

    correction to the last para. but for the others maybe different so first of all we must respect one another jagan sampai BN members begaduh sama sendiri you know who are those people lah.

  22. Mabel Rachel Maria on August 29th, 2009 10:42 am

    It good to see you coming back comrade, Dayaklama. Though we might NOT fully agree with your ideas. But you ideas did give our minds to think/reflect/put in their shoe about its/empathy and to be much wiser, rather than stagnant listening to murmur,plight or even curse from one party only!

    After all you can easily go away from here and have your mind rested, what more to say your service is for free. Otherwise this room will be cold as ice.

    Thank you.

    Do you remember Abraham Lincoln’s The Gettysburg Address? “..that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

    Who are BN? Who are the government? Are they just a bunch of people sitting in the parliment or undangan negeri? No! We are the government. The people. The rakyat. And don’t let this bunch of YBs forget that. They were elected to represent us. To speak for us. I think the problem with Malaysian politic is that we “upgrade” the status of YB to godliness. When a YB come visiting we put up such a show to welcome him. Roll out the red carpet that he felt that he is better than the rest of us. That’s bull!

    Ramalan cuaca hari ini.Angin kencang yang berpusat di Permatang Pasir ,dijangka akan membawa perubahan besar,kini bertiup menghala ke arah Pulau Borneo .Rakyat sarawak terutamanya pasti gembira kerana negeri itu telah mengalami kemarau pembangunan berikutan dasar kerajaan negeri yang berat sebelah dan ‘aku berkuasa aku berharta’.

    Rakyat di pendalaman amnya masih belum ada bekalan elektrik ,air bersih,sekolah kuno atau jalan raya.Apa yang tersisa hanyalah janji kosong kerajan semasa G/E.

    sebagai penutup adalah diharapkan agar rakyat sarawak bersedia menghadapi angin perubahan tersebut.sekian .trimakasih.

    Does it means that those who are `dressed smartly` can vote diligently and make wise decision?

  26. Dyaks on August 29th, 2009 8:56 pm

    Dayaklama: “PAS able to retain Kelantan not because they can bring development or create jobs for the local but because they can effectively use Islam to threaten the people of Kelantan. One example is ” kalau dok pangkah bulan, tak masuk syurga “.”

    –Well Dayaklama what is so bad about entering heaven…Hmmmm?
    But then Dayaklama can always choose to enter hell with BN Umno whichever you may prefer. It’s ok though.

    Sempurai: “Does it means that those who are `dressed smartly` can vote diligently and make wise decision?”

    –Not too sure if early pioneer of Roman democracy and that Julius Ceasar wearing cawat (or dressed ’simply’??) back then or something.

    MRM: “It good to see you coming back comrade, Dayaklama. Though we might NOT fully agree with your ideas. But you ideas did give our minds to think/reflect/put in their shoe about its/empathy and to be much wiser, rather than stagnant listening to murmur,plight or even curse from one party only!”

    –So it’s quite safe to assume then for George Dubya Bush to talk about Quantum Physics purely on intellectual basis.
