Buy-election and Bye-election?

8.26pm - Unofficial result reported that it is unlikely PKR can overcome giant hurdles put by PM, DPM, Ministers and minions of BN.

I knew this is going to happened. Somehow or rather i just felt the votes are going to swayed back to BN. But deep in my heart i am still hoping that the people in Hulu Selangor can see truth and play a game of higher respect in politics.

During the last few days of the election, stench of money being played in this election is growing stronger. Right from pouring money to the Felda to guarantee for chinese students for PTPTN loan, to RM3million for chinese school, to countless of promises for the indians to be given land to set up temples. Looks like if u want development in your county, just make sure u 'kill' your MP to have a by election. Then you are going to have enough money and business happening there.

Despicable Politics

It is depressing and disturbing to see such 'honour' in our campaigns. From being said an alcoholic to false degree certificate. Hello people? are we not suppose to talk about our country and your dream for the county in the future? I heard in the radio few days ago and i kind of agree with the commentator that says the function of a MP in parliament. He/she is not really responsible to go and inspect electricity break down, officiate functions, giving money for the poor and etc. The main purpose should be looking after the countries policy and law. Those roles should fall under the ADUN and city council members. So whats with all these campaign about giving money here and there and making false and despicable personal attacks?

Money or Dignity?

PKR won most in areas with chinese majority. The BN won in Malay majority areas especially the FELDA area. Is there a indication of this? I'm not sure. I cannot judge nor it is fair for me to said that our Malay friends are easily bought off with money. But one thing i'm sure is that the maturity of the chinese in regards of politics is really there. But most malay friends at my age are more liberal and dare enough to stand up against the old giant BN. Perhaps the money poured are just too tempting.

Overall, the tussle between both parties is going to be more exciting and dirty. How long do Malaysians need to be able to stand tall and reject money politics? Where is our dignity and pride? Where had they gone?
