Do or die for Anwar Ibrahim

Will he win?

Permatang Pauh is all set for the final showdown in what is belived to be the biggest by-election Malaysia has ever witnessed! It's a do or die for Anwar Ibrahim, the de factor leader of PKR and the 'glue' of PR.

His chance of winning seems bright even though he's agains the might of the BN election machinery. For 10 nights, big guns on both sides held ceramah and talks and tried to discredit their opponent. This has to be the dirtiest election in history.

While Najib leads the line for Arif Shah, Anwar can call on the support from DAP and PAS. Surveys carried out by Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research has shown not many of the voters are concerned or believed in the sodomy case against Anwar; something that will bug him even if he wins.

I personnaly hope that Anwar will win. I'm not concerned about the margin, just give him a chance to enter Parliament. That will make our Parliament more 'colourful'! As for the formation of a new Government, I'm not too sure. I hope it can happen, but not now.

Maybe we all need a paradigm shift, maybe Malaysia needs a shift. After 50 years of Merdeka, maybe that's a good thing for all Malaysians. Race based policies needs to be reviewed to give all a chance.

As for now, things will have a clearer picture after 5pm. By tonight we will know.

Good luck to all involved, good luck Malaysia!
