tunku : now who is buried in permatang pauh ? remember what kj had said earlier. to me anwar's winning by a majority of more than 10000 is a slap on umno's leadership. they had failed miserably. pak lah has to go asap if umno and bn is to survive for the coming GE. as for anwar, he is a very lucky man, even a moron and guilty person like him can win big. people are just fed up with the current leadership and no matter what pak lah tries now, he fails to impress them.did ezam bring any good to umno? i thing ezam did more harm to umno.

It was a scenario of "Mike Tyson" vs "Sapok Biki". A heavy knockout already expected on the first day. Tale-of-the-tape never favour BN. Big crowd merely came to see "Mike Tyson" delivers his hammer punch because they enjoy it. Where is the Chief Coach ? Why only the caretaker comments on the result?
Takziah kepada orang-orang Permatang Pauh yang telah mengundi seorang yang tidak bermoral, kuat cakap bohong, suka mengaibkan orang lain,gila kuasa, kaki kelentong, kaki berdrama (besar mungkin kaki jantan)dan yang telah memperbodohkan anda semua.You deserve him indeed.
Where was Dato' Arif Shah when the announcement was made by the SPR? C'mon, even if he knew he was losing, for "sportmanship", he should be present to respect the Election Commission and the electorates who have voted him. UMNO/BN does not need this kind of leader.

As expected Anwar won the by-election with a huge margin.thus dissed the questions of impartiality.Apparently democracy is still alive and kicking.
Anwar won because he's such a huge name and a celebrity of his own way in Malaysia.that's why it's easy for Anwar to win.let's say it was a contest between all unknown contestants.i think the result aint the same.
congratulations to Anwar and PKR.
jadi Anwar telah menang dan berpeluang masuk semula ke Parlimen selepas 10 tahun menanti!
kemenangan ini memang sudah dijangkakan.sebenarnya rakyat mengundi Anwar kerana mereka "geramkan" kerajaan.tapi nak salahkan rakyat pun tidak guna juga kerana kuasa mengundi ditangan rakyat.
apapun,saya percaya BN takkan mudah mengalah dan mengundur begitu saja selepas ini.cabaran tetap akan diberikan dan PR pula pasti akan lebih berusaha untuk menembusi kerajaan pusat.
Kemenangan PKR dilihat sebagai satu cabaran besar buat UMNO untuk bangkit semula demi mendapatkan semula perhatian rakyat. Dan ianya bukan sesuatu yang mudah. Kekalahan teruk ini harus dikaji sedalam-dalamnya dan harus diambil berat jika tidak mahu UMNO terkubur begitu sahaja.
ya, DSAI menang dalam by-election PP, tapi perlu di ingat kan bahawa itu memang kawasan dia, mana-mana menteri pun kalau bertanding di kawasan kuat beliau sendiri konfirm menang. Tak hairan.
Mungkin penduduk PP memang nak orang macam DSAi tu memerintah mereka. Mereka tak takut di 'sodomi-sodomi' kan oleh DSAI. Mereka dah pilih, nak buat macam mana kan
Kita tengok la sejauh mana DSAI ni betul-betul jaga PP, ke tu cuma sebagai batu loncatan karier politik..
nanti orang PP juga yang merana.
Tahniah orang Permatang Pauh...
Nampaknye semakin kukuh kedudukan yahudi kat Malaysia nanti...

Bloody sore losers and you call yourselves malay, malaysian, muslims. i am ashamed that you cant see what is going on at your doorstep...blinkered by prejudice and perhaps half past six learning. you guys maybe learned, but educated, i dont think so. Oh by the way...ministers confirm menang on their home turf? Ask Shahrizat, Samy..they wld probably just smile at you 'redbag'. And sudah la dengan ajen yahudi rubbish...kalau benci sangat dengan yahudi, banyak benda yang awak tak boleh beli, pakai, tengok. Anwar must be ajen turkey, ulamak-ulamak arab, ajen south africa, ajen manmohan singh, ajen saudi, ajen uae, ajen apa lagi ah!
