By Elections

Three by elections took place today for the state seats of Bukit Selambau in Kedah and Batang Air in Sarawak and also for the parliament seat of Bukit Gantang in Perak. BN won the one in Sarawak while Pakatan Rakyat (PAS in Perak and PKR in Kedah) won the other two. All victories were with increased majorities.

As far as I'm concerned it was not a bad day for the Rakyats. It shows that the spirit of change is still intact. I do not think we can do much in the small (in terms of voters) state seat in Sarawak where money talks effectively. It is an uphill battle for the opposition in Sabah and Sarawak still.

Congratulations to the winners who have won fairly. To those who played dirty may you get your due either in this world or in the hereafter.
