Interesting Election Videos

Here are three interesting Malaysiakini videos.

Promises, Promises, Promises

What is it with the Barisan Nasional and particularly Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, making promises that we have heard before and showing statistics that is utterly confusing. No point showing us those statistics as we know what you have done for the past five years. What is glaringly obvious is that prices have gone up, crime rate has gone up, corruption is also on the up.

Pak Lah has no idea how to manage the economy, prices are spiraling up and this is confirmed by the Central Bank. Read the report on what Bank Negara says about inflation in Malaysiakini here.

As for the promises, BN did not do it when they had five years of power they are unlikely to do it in the next five. It is pehaps apt that we follow DAP's tagline "Just Change It"

PAS In Front At Kelantan

PAS had just won its first state seat in Kelantan. PAS' woman candidate Wan Ubaidah Omar secured the Kijang state seat in Kelantan when the BN candidate Mustopha Ahmed was disqualified for having been declared a bankrupt.

How stupid of Barisan Nasional to try to field a bankrupt. Mustopha Ahmed obviously did not declare that he is a bankrupt when picked by BN. But why did Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin who is slotted to be the Mentri Besar if BN wins not check the background of Mustopha first? He was after all the ex-deputy Governor of Bank Negara. This is indeed a slap on him and BN Kelantan. Good for PAS though.

ISA Detainee To Contest State Seat

An Internal Security Act detainee, M Manoharan will be contesting in the Kota Alam Shah state Assembly seat. Manoharan is a lawyer and Hindraf leader.

It will be interesting to see how this one develops. What happens if he wins? Will he be freed? or will he just be released to attend the state assembly and be put back to detention each night.

I sure hope he wins. If the voters voted for him than it is a clear sign that the people are against the ISA.

Hooray Fong Is Back

I am glad that DAP MP for Perak's Batu Gajah Fong Po Kuan has changed her mind and will be contesting the seat after all. We should not lose good people like her.
