August 26th... D-Day

Will he make it this time?


This is it, folks! The Election Commission has announced August 16th to be the nomination day while August 26th will be the day where folks in Permatang Pauh will cast their votes again. This time it's for Anwar or another BN candidate. This place will get huge limelight in the coming weeks!

Permatang Pauh has always been Anwar's fortress. He won there as a candidate. His wife won there as a candidate. So this time BN really is the David..... they got an uphill battle to wrestle the seat and more importantly defeat Anwar and prevent him from gaining entry into Parliament. Tough, but still doable.

It would say Anwar will be a huge favourite in this bout; no matter who he faces. I'm hoping for Ezam, his former aide. That would be more exciting than watching the Olympic century sprint. However, I'm still a bit confuse. Will Anwar be able to do battle if he's arrested for the alleged sodomy case looming? Won't that disqualify him? If there's anything happening to him now, the conspiracy theorists will have another field day! BN is now walking on a tight rope. Sure they can lose Pematang Pauh (it's not their seat, anyway) but the effect of electing Anwar into Parliament will be a great blow to them.

Stay tune, folks! It's gonna be lipsmacking delicious!
