well. as we know today...the opposition in Malaysia has swept away 4 states from BN and retained Kelantan.

I am certain that our leaders are looking at the results up north with apprehension. I doubt they are fearful as they still have a powerful machinery call GRC to give them the upperhand.

In any case, the BN lost as it was felt that they had lost touch with the people. Though their economy did expand healthly but the gains of the economy was not distributed to the people fairly. It reminds me of Australia, of how you can have a growing economy and still lose your election.

If the goverment is reading this, please note that a 10% growth in GDP, a 0.5% unemployment rate...etc means nothing when the people percieve that you do not care about people but is only concern about increasing GDP growth and justifying your million dollar pay. Anybody can get the GDP up as long as they open the door wide to foreigners

i find the caption and emblem of their party insignia a little suspicious reminding of a certain sports brand.

1. In my article “PAP afraid of the Truth” years ago, [ http://i-came-i-saw-i-wrote-it.blogspot.com/search/label/PAP%20afraid%20of%20Truth ], I wrote “(… In the hands of a good writer, print can be emotional to an extent a poorly produced video is not). The irony is that that [SDP] video was so modest an attempt that the PAP, with its unlimited war chest, could have produced a whole series of far better productions and given them away for free or little cost, thereby overwhelming Dr CHEE’s little production. That the PAP is fabulously rich can be seen in the fact that every year, the PAP gives away several millions to various causes. This probably represents only the interest, and not the principal amount, in the PAP’s kitty; or its investment revenue, not the total size of its funds. Thus, the PAP could have countered the SDP’s little video with Steven Spielberg productions and George Lucas effects, if they wanted, with full orchestral scores.

“But they preferred to ban political videos because they had no need of videos, having the entire print and broadcast and now, Internet media, industries spewing their propaganda.”

2. THUS, THE REAL REASON WHY THE LIEgime MAY ALLOW ‘POLITICAL VIDEOS’ IS THAT THEY HAVE THE MONEY, UNLIKE THE OPPOSITION, TO MAKE FULLY PROFESSIONAL VIDEOS AND EVEN GIVE IT AWAY IN THE MILLIONS, FOR FREE. WHICH THE OPPOSITION CANNOT.

3. Thus, the LIEgime would just be leveraging on its $$$hundreds of millions war chest. They are certainly NOT liberalising the stranglehold or rigged election rules to make it fairer for the Opposition! And if all else fails, the LIEgime will stuff fake PAP ballots like my eyewitnesses saw in the 1997 Cheng San GRC elections [see my blog for proof].
