Guess with 65% turnout, 17K is pretty amazing.

PP have spoken on behalf of the people...

Mave,

I was abit worried, you know - we know what Anwar is dealing with.

Seriously, I never thought I will live to see BN shaken & hopefully fall.

Hooray to the people of Malaysia to be able to wrestle this chance for a new beginning to a new Malaysia.

If not for a new Malaysia, at least a new born confidence that we are NOT at the mercy of politicians but rather that they should be at our mercy.

I am overy the moon with happiness ...

khairy said before GE12 he was to going snatch Kelantan from PAS like taking candy from a baby.
Few days ago he said he was going to bury Anuar in PP.
Arif was wrong person at the wrong place.
Khairy you should try your luck there and we know who is going to get buried!!!

Hi Mave,

One of my predictions is correct! hehe

Anonymous said...

Khairy should have been the one to stand for election here. Then the voters would have buried him!

The people of PP have spoken. Even with a low voter turnout, the majority went to Anwar. Imagine how much more it could have been with a higher voter turnout.

I would say that loud-mouthed Khairy helped turn the tide over. After all, I believe it was close to 50-50 before that.

Thanks for the leg up, Khairy.

I have prayed to god to give us a good man. My prayer has been answered. God bless and have a nice day!

Ronnie said...

Just curious. The Sun (and most other media) reported voter turnout to be around 65%, while the Star reported it as 80% (don't ask about NST lah, never liked and trusted it!).

Spin doctors at work already??

Anonymous said...

The 65% voter turnout was calculated by the daft statistics-illiterate PM, who but for the grace of god would had been kicked out of university.

JinChrist said...

At last. There is hope for Malaysia.
seems to me like God is watching.
Congrats to Anwar. Remember that you owe the RAKYAT of all races.

All the best to Putrajaya.

Kj and Najib buried in PP. The Winds of change are blowing.this does not augur well for BN.as zorro says PP= PEOPLE POWER.

Helen said...

My maths is not good. Maybe you can help.... It doesnt seem to add up. Yesterday Bernama news reported 65% of the 58,000 registered voter turned out to vote.

Arif Shah has 15,524 votes. DSAI has 31,195 votes. Total votes = 46,719.

How can 46,719 votes be 65% of 58,000+ total registered voters?

Now that one important battle has been won, DSAI should be able to deal with Zulkifli Nordin!
