No, I am NOT going to write a new article today. I am just going to rehash what I wrote in this same column on 6 April 2009. That article was called: Another day to go and Najib is going to eat humble pie. And this is going to be my shortest article ever.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
And this was what I wrote yesterday:
Batang Ai has 8,000 registered voters, about 95% Ibans. The two contenders are five-term Lubok Antu MP Jawah Gerang and newcomer Malcom Mussem Lamoh from Barisan Nasional. The feedback I get is that there is heavy internal sabotage, which may thwart the opposition’s chances of winning this seat.
In 2004, Bukit Gantang, which has about 55,000 voters, was won by Barisan Nasional with a majority of 8,888 votes and, in 2008, Pakatan Rakyat, with a majority of 1,566 votes. That is a swing of about 10,000 votes. Pakatan Rakyat must win it this time with a majority of 2,500 to 3,000 votes to really make Najib eat humble pie.
Bukit Selambau has about 35,000 voters. In 2004, Barisan Nasional won this seat with a majority of 7,695 votes and, in 2008, Pakatan Rakyat, with a majority of 2,362 votes. That is a swing of about 10,000 votes just like in Bukit Gantang. Again, to make Najib eat humble pie, Pakatan Rakyat must win this seat with a majority of 2,500 to 3,000 votes.
Well, that is my wish list for tomorrow. Is that your wish list too?

Najib, your new team did not deliver.
Mamathir did not deliver. What has Mu-hee-hee-din got to say.
Samy Velu did not deliver.
Worst of all, Najib did not dare face the voters because the "other" woman was still present. What kind of President or PM does not show up to support his candidates?

Dear Pete, we won! Just leave Sarawak aside at this moment as 3 by-elections are held on the same date and the machinery bullets are just not enough to fire.
I am just as happy that we have 2 bukits! Syabas PAS n PKR of Pakatan Raykat and also not forgetting about Barisan Rakyat!

My advice to PR. For next election, please concentrate on winning as much seat as possible in Peninsular Malaysia. IF we can have a landslide victory against UMNO in Peninsular, the other BN component parties in Sabah and Sarawak will surely jump ship one.

Pet, your predictions, be it in 2008 that Pakatan would take 5 states, the Permatang Pauh outcome and the KT outcome have been spot on. And, now you have delivered, again, in Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau. What next? Do you predict the fall of the BN government in 2012? I, For one, would not bet against you. Even political analysts have not been as accurate as you.

Losers:
1. Mahathir. He thought by having a big mouth that's laced with hate and bcoz of his insatiable greed, he will have an influence on Malaysians. Well, once again, he has realised that he can only influence his wife and corrupt sons. The two Bukits (the ones which were the real berimetres) that he has campiagned has been lost with BIGGER majorities. May be he will say PR won bcoz "Abdullah Badawi has noy died yet."
2. EC
This evil institution has been tarnished by the new chairman further. He is evil. He assisted Taib Mahmud to rig the elections in Sarawak. Can you imagine he refused to count opposition held areas' votes and demanded that they be transported and refused MAFREL to accompany the ballot boxes. Even the unborn knows that Batang Ai was rigged. They shall pay.
3. Najis
Well, he has realised the hatred Malaysians have him can't go and will never go unless he goes. He shall know buying Umno delagates and contractors is different from the people of Malaysia.
4. Muhyiddin
The treacherous ugly faced snake. Once again, he has shown that he and has always been unimaginative tod. He had the temerity to say "the people are happy with Najib and Mahathir." F..k off you slithery minion who has never recorded a single act of human good.
5. Umno Media and bloggers
Well, they realised that they are a bunch of self serving consolational concoctors. They live in fantasy. Reading their shoddy "analysis'" would make you fall off your chair laughing. Stupid bunch.
6. The Police
Once again, the blatant bias this gangsters have shown is heartrending and killing this institution. May the current IGP (deleted).
7. MCA and Gerekan
The running dogs realised that the Chinese won't mortagage their future for handouts. They need dignity and humanity and PAS through Nizar offers utmost respect. Go to hell.
8. MACC
The father of child pornography has been trying to help BN and Umno but failed. Evil is his deeds.
Winners:
1. Anwar Ibrahim. 2. Nizar Mohd, the next Pakatan leader. 3. Uztaz Hadi Awang by nominating Nizar. 4. Tok Guru Nik Aziz-the conscience of the nation. 5. Karpal: by campaigning for PAS and shutting his mouth unlike in the past. 6. Lim the father and the son: by camping in the bukits to hammer the message. 7. RPK-the fighter. 8. PR bloggers and citizen journalists. 9. Bukit Gantang and Perkians. By getting Nizar, they have the best leader today. 10. The people of Malaysia. They rejected the evil minded, irrelevant but delusional Mahathir and the scandalous Najib and PM Rosmah Marcos.
The struggle continues.

well done PAS. I'm so glad the nice guy and a better as well as honest man won. if BN won, they will say this shows the whole of Malaysia has changed and now supporting BN. but since they lost, they will say it is just a normal by election and not anything else let alone a referendum. Lets face the facts, without Sabah and Sarawak, BN is gone. and soon the folks there will switch to and sabah has shown it can switch.
najib is saying so many things these few days. all is nothing until he walks the talk. we are not stupid Mr.PM. we have seen this release of ISA by Dr.M, 21 release but in Op Lalang many more than 21 were caught except you escaped even after you took out a keris and wanted chinese blood. 1 Malaysia was not your policy then.smilies/tongue.gif and asking press to report the facts and all Malaysian to agree to disagree and hear opposing opinions. LOL. It is UMNo and BN who do not want to hear different opinions. eg is you stayed up till 3am listening to political analysis. sad things is this guys on tv, will not say anything real, they know to sing the BN tune thus Bn things all is well.
so Mr.PM, we shall see if you walk the talk. B.gantang has shown you that even you nor tun Mahatir can get votes by talking. we want action cos NATO all of us can do what more a PM. we wait for 3 months to see how you move but believe me, if you NATO only, you will not lose 2/3 but you will be like Khir 'Disney' Toyo, head of opposition!!!

Well done, bloggers esp Haris.

With a brand new UMNO President and a new Prime Minister, BN still lost. With a brand new slogan 1Malaysia, people first and performance now, BN still lost. With the combined might of two of its strongest men of UMNO in Mahathir and Najib, and combined heavyweights of Muhyiddin, Khairy, BN still lost in Peninsula Malaysia! Not marginally but with increased majority in the 2 peninsula Malaysian states!
UMNO has reached its strongest and highest point in strength and yet it still lost. You cannot beat the trend where the time has come. Mahathir is irrelevant now. UMNO is already history. People from all walks of lives have reject UMNO and BN. Pakatan is not perfect and yet it will always triumph over a corrupt, racist and arrogant organization such as UMNO! It has already been proven 4 times in a row! What more proof does UMNO want?
UMNO has made the biggest irreversible blunder to play up a racist game to divide the peace loving Malaysians. It thought by pandering to the Malays by attacking the non-malays would bring them more malay votes. But they are deadly wrong – all they could do is to maintain or increase malay votes marginally but the king-makers which is the non-malays whom UMNO thought were irrelevant and unimportant deserted them in doves and cause BN to lose in every by-election!
The election results in Bukit Selambau and Bukit Gantang clearly show a small increase in the level of Malay support for BN but will be more than overwhelmed by a larger drop in its level of non-Malay support. The non-malays have cut their umbilical cords with BN. Whatever loss caused by UMNO stupidity will be to Pakatan gain!
UMNO is now a sinking ship! No matter how many captains or pilots you change, a sinking ship will be a sinking ship! The other non-UMNO component parties in BN had better bail out before the sinking ship bring all of you down to the watery graves! What do you expect from a Prime Minister who is sworn in on “Ching Ming” day?

Mahathir would have this to say for the defeats -
1. Barisan never lose any by-election during my tenure as the PM
2. We lost this time because I am not the PM now
3. Blame Khairy for the loss because he was the new UMNO Youth President
4. The PM carried too much excess baggage
5. The Chinese voters must be penalised for suppotinng PAS
6. The loss legacy was carried forward from the former PM Tun Badawi
7. I am not to be blamed because I only rejoined UMNO just before polling
8. They never appoint me as the National adviser in time which I am so desperate
The above excuses would save Mahathir some trouble from having to make his press statement for the 2 Bukit loss.

Following Che Det's mind boggling argument, just like Sdr. Anwar, Kugan pulverised and bruised himself to death whilst under police custody at Taipan USJ. So according to Che Det argument and logic, Kugan's death should be rightly classified just like Sdr Anwar's black eye (according to Che Det it was self inflicted and amounted to attempted suicide for seeking sympathy) be classified under suicide. The health ministry will agree with Che Det noble prize winning forensic argument. In fact since Che Det lamented that so far no malaysia boleh candidate has been accorded Noble Prize, I suggest that we submit Che Det's mind boggling forensic argument to the Noble award wining board for their consideration for next years Noble Prize.
