Sorry to been very quiet on the latest by election, as I was extremely tired from all the politics.  One must say, it’s very tiring trying to follow everything every single day.  Anyway, on to the main agenda of today’s topic.  When I first found out that Umno decided to field in Isa Samad, I quickly went and sms a friend of mine said that Umno will have a landslide victory of 4,000 votes.  As I didn’t expect it was over 5,000.  So the score now is 7-2.

Anyway, it’s a good thing that Umno finally won after the numerous humiliation they had to endure in the previous by election.  One thing for sure is that, they believe in giving people second chance.  No doubt Isa had issues on money politics, but everyone seems to like him because of his generosity during his 22 years as Menteri Besar for Negeri Sembilan.  And as for PAS, well all I can say is that you win some, and you’ll lose some.  So go home and think about what had actually just happened.  After reading a post by RPK on what actually happened, I wouldn’t be surprised that PR will lose in this current by election despite his prediction that they will win.

Over the past few days, I’ve been getting a lot of input from people around me.  As I continued to listen their view on what is happening in Malaysia especially in politics, is that opposition party will always cause problems for the country.  One of them even said that, we shouldn’t let the opposition win because by then they will start to fill in their pockets first before giving out to the people.  Since the current government pockets are full already, they will start to share the benefits with the people.

Some who are so called hardcore BN supporters said that, it’s ok for them to take some of the money for themselves but as long at the end of the day the work gets  done, and I can feed my family so I’m not too bothered about it.  Even those who supported opposition now, are thinking twice to vote them in the coming election.  As they noticed that business seems to be slower compared to the previous administration who held the position here in Kuching.  A very good example was the mooncake festival food sale, not too long ago.  It seems a little bit smaller compared to the previous years 2008, 2007 & 2006.  Unfortunately this year I didn’t see any representative from DAP or PKR unlike the previous year.  But every year, without fail faces from SUPP tends to show up and give support.  Will Kuching be another Bagan Pinang?  That I don’t know but only time will tell.  Once again congratulations to Isa Samad for astounding victory.
