Now I'm feeling a bit better.
Well, let me start with the Semenyih by-election which is now entering the final phase of its campaigning period.
I was there on the ground to look around a bit, so maybe I can tell you all what I saw and heard.
I think it's going to be close with BN having a slight advantage.
I say "slight" because PH has a relatively huge over 8,000 majority in GE14 less than a year ago.
It's not going to be easy to turn that around, especially in a by-election.
As I previously pointed out, I remember only three by-elections where the incumbent lost - Lunas in 2000, Kuala Terengganu in 2008 and Teluk Intan in 2014.
Still, the campaigning on the ground, as I saw it indicated that BN has more than just a chance to win.
Well, there's the apparent general dissatisfaction of the Malays who are the outright majority (68 per cent) there towards PH for its unfulfilled promises and tilt towards abolishing their rights.
It was also said that the BN's choice of candidate was more agreeable to them than the one from PH.
Then there were talks that many Indians there are switching side to BN because they were unhappy for not really getting much after PH won GE14.
Some of the Chinese were said to be unhappy too.
Well, that's what they told me.
As I see it, the BN's campaign looks not so bad at all despite some stupidities such as the one on nomination day.
I guess the reemergence of personalities who screwed up BN's GE14 campaign this time should be expected. After the win in Cameron Highlands they must have felt that they can make a comeback and start leeching again.
Really stupid.
Hopefully Mat Hassan is smart enough to stop them so that BN and Umno could have a better image without such characters in future.
Despite such hiccups, BN campaign still looks better than PH.
The cooperation between BN and Pas also looks good despite Dr Mahathir's earlier assertion that it's not going to be so.
I even met outstation Umno and Pas people who were staying and campaigning together at a kampung there.
Then there's Najib running around in Semenyih, and he does get the crowd such as this one,
A Najib rock star presence in Semenyih
Well, I think I'll update this by-election later as I'm planning to go to Semenyih a bit more before polling on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the PH ministers continue to be not so intelligent.
The latest,
Minister talks about flying car
Come on la, even if it's for real, try la not to talk about it before we really have it.
Agak-agak la.
Or at least wait until you got all the details together.
Now I'm feeling so bad for previously calling Ahmad Maslan stupid.
If PH really lose in Semenyih, I dare to say that it's partly due to these sort of stupidities on the PH's side.
See, BN and PH both have their stupid parts. All the same, actually, except this flying car thing being a bit on the extreme side.
Really, okay.
Ehh, I need to get up and get ready for work now.
Will try to write again tomorrow.
Cheers.

ReplyDeleteThe complaint of lack of adequate health services in Semenyih is a real issue that really irritates the people of Semenyih.
ReplyDeletePH should show concrete commitment to the constituents in Semenyih that they will immediately improve the health services in Semenyih.
If the Semenyih voters burnt their boat and choose BN, than I would say "HAPPY 4 years Semenyih, as opposition". I hope their life as oppositon would be much better. Perhaphs, harga barang di Semenyih would be much cheeper than other places in Selangor...hehehe and....MALU APA BOSSKU would get a little bit of satifaction that he is now an icon to the Malays. However, I doubt it. The Semenyih voters are far too intelligent to burn their boat. They have been under Selangor PH government for two terms and 41 years under BN. I am sure they will make a WISE CHOOICE - SELAMAT MENGUNDI, SEMENYIH!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCik Minah,
DeleteSaya bagi Cik Minah contoh,
Kalaulah kita ambi-alih kedai makan selama 10 bulan, sudah cukup masa untuk melangsai hutang, naikkan gaji pekerja, bagi bonus dan macam-macam lagi.
Sebab itulah orang melayu marah sangat kerana dalam tempoh masa yang begitu lama, negara kita tak semaju macam negara Korea dan Jepun lagi.
Gaji pun masih tak naik-naik dan pekerjaan pun tak masih tak banyak.
Sedangkan masa BN perintah dulu, harga barang murah dan perkerjaan pun banyak.
Sekarang orang melayu sudah sedar yang mana satu kaca dan yang mana satu intan permata.
Pemimpim Pakatan ibarat kaca, manakala Bossku dan Memku ibarat Intan dan permata.
Saya yakin pengundi Semenyih akan mengundi dengan matang memilih BN supaya Bossku dan Memku akan selamatkan orang melayu.
Cik minah, apa yg kalut sgt? Bukan boleh tukar kjaan pun kalau bn menang. Biak pi la semenyih pilih adun yg mana diorang suka. Zaman buta2 pangkah parti dah berlalu.
Deletekasi kerja bangla - myege banyak register bangla mane mesia ada kerja.
DeleteWe have a sick life in Malaysia. Sememyih is not excluded. It is all about ruling parties and opposition parties everyday and every issue. It got worse by the hour.
ReplyDeleteAnyone we vote must 1st serve the people voted for them. Parties' interests simpan dalam saku.
Sekarang ni PH ke BN ke, perangai sama aje. Bila dapat kuasa, telinga makin tersumbat. Apa faedah ada prk ke pru semua ni ?
PKR, DAP, AMANAH, WARISAN wanted a taste of power, Mahathir dah tolong buat kasi jaya. Sekarang tolong Mahathir la kasi tukang kan Malaysia ni supaya lebih jaya lagi. Bukan merapu sepanjang masa
When DAP took over Penang 2008, kawan mu kalut promosi nak bikin aerobus..
ReplyDelete10+tahun hanya tinggal kenang2an. Lepaih tu undersea tunnel.. Tun dengan nasional car dia dan si mamat ni flying cars plak dah.
Hello PH semua kalut bab kenderaan aje ni.

BREAKING NEWS:
ReplyDeleteI pick this from MALAYSIAKINI:
I tot Najib's presence is akin to ROCKSTAR treatment to the voters in Semenyoh......kahkahkah. So, how come BN'S candidate Zakaria is embarrassed to be linked to MALU APA BOSSKU sampai buat laporan polis...????
PRK SEMENYIH | Dipapar dan dikaitkan dengan Rosmah Mansor, calon BN Zakaria Hanafi hari ini membuat laporan polis ekoran kain rentang yang dianggap berunsur provokasi didapati digantung di sekitar Semenyih.
Antara kain rentang yang menjadi isu itu memaparkan gambar Zakaria bersama gambar Rosmah; suaminya, Najib Razak, dan individu yang dikehendaki polis di beberapa negara termasuk Malaysia, Jho Low.
Kata Zakaria dia menyedari kewujudan kain rentang itu di tepi jalan utama selepas menghadiri program bertemu pengundi di Pasar Beranang.
“Pada saya kain rentang sebegini melibatkan peribadi, jadi kenyataan ini tidak benar.
"Tapi tak apalah, saya pegang kepada prinsip berkempen secara bersih, sihat dan gentlemen,” katanya.
Dia berkata demikian kepada pemberita di hadapan Balai Polis Semenyih sejurus selepas membuat laporan polis.
Zakaria turut membawa beberapa kain rentang yang dicabut, antara lain memaparkan kenyataan:
* Undilah BN jika ingin rompakan Rosmah berulang
* Saya janji bawa Rosmah jika BN menang di Semenyih
* 1MDB dan Jho Low rekaan PH untuk jatuhkan BN YAB Datuk Seri Najib dan YAB Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor tidak bersalah.

Jangan surpriselah..some of them got their fake degrees overseas.No wonder
ReplyDeleteIni baru pendedahan fake setipiket.. belum lagi bab fake citizenships atau surat beranak/IC fake??
DeleteTak masuk akal 61 tahun negara Merdeka tapi masih ramai taktau menulis atau tak faham/fasih bercakap dalam bahasa kebangsaan negara sendiri.
Dah kena merisik dgn mendalam latar belakang pemimpin2 serta keluarga mereka.
