Will he be all smiles after tomorrow? That's it folks! Come tomorrow, 26th August 2008, we will see one of the most watched and anticipated by-election in Malaysia's colourful history.
Will Anwar Ibrahim be voted into Parliament or his challenger Arif Shah create history for BN for defeating the PKR de factor leader? Time will tell, the Permatang Pauh's voters will definitely tell!
Both camps have expressed confidence with both claiming having good support from the rakyat. Arif even went on to say he'll will with a min 500 voters, maybe even touching 5,ooo! Big words indeed.
This by election must have been the most watched and eagerly awaited. Not just an ordinary by-election but one that may have a far more bigger implication on the Malaysian society as a whole. Anwar made no secret of his desire to return to Parliament and form a new Government; a date given on 16th Sept 2008. While to do that, first, he must win in PP.
Whether a new Government can be formed on that day is still very much a doubt but certainly not impossible. This by-election has seen much accusation being hurled by both camps, some just wild allegation, some are personal attacks, some facts..... some half truths......makes great readings. However, I'm getting tired of this, frankly. I just wanted it to be over without much problem.
Penang has announced a public holiday for this important vote-casting day. DPM has criticized it; but the EC cocked it up first. Why 26th of August? Conspiracy theory? Well, that's another issue. Why not on the just concluded school holiday? Even the Education DG has announced that schools to be closed.......
So, let's all be civil, cast your votes properly. Show the world that Malaysian Democracy is free and fair.
May the best man wins!
