After watching lots and lots of cheats, lies and all sort of non-senses, finally this comes to an end. The by-election in Permatang Pauh which was seen as heaviest battle in the Malaysian elections history will begin right now. Whether or not it will make a huge impact on Malaysian history yet to be proved, but what is for sure is that this election simply is the dirtiest election that Malaysia have ever had…

Starting by the beginning of election, which saw Saiful, a person who seems to be very enjoyable and proud to tells everyone about his story of being sodomized went to the mosque and swears about it. The election starts with a bang, and ends with a bang as well when Anwar got the Federation’s Imam to state that what Saiful did is not valid and it was arranged by Najib’s people. Between the incidents, many more silly cheats and lies was occurring. One of them of course is the charge imposed by BPR on 2 PKR YB in Perak, saying that they are receiving rasuah, but was sued back by the duo that the BPR were acting under the government by getting someone unknown to pass them the bag of money. Even before they open the bag of money, BPR has already come forward and caught them and then let the people who gave them money ran away! Funny stuff, isn’t it?!

Cheatings are not over yet. There are spies flying all over Permatang Pauh. There are people who pretend as DAP people by wearing their shirts and then throw stones on publics and distributed the fake shadow government of Pakatan Rakyat. Besides, information about the ‘price’ of votes spread widely (though no one can confirm it was true or not), spies in Bilik Gereakan of both parties who keep on providing wrong info, both parties supporters tend to pretend each another and doing all sorts of silly things, harsh individual attacks which doesn’t seems to go any closer to an appearance of ‘budiman’ Malaysian, and racial issues have been heated up again and again, without considering the other races’ feelings. This was simply irritated!

And with both parties doing all sorts of silly stuffs, with one of them eventually do the more serious cases, it remains to see whether the more evil among evils can continue to do so after 50 years of unrighteous and out-dated governing style. It was a laugh to the world that even after 50 years of independence, the party in control of parliament still needs to raise racial issues in order to win elections. Relationship between the races doesn’t seem to get any closer with this sort of ‘patriotism’ acts by our political giants. I would wonder, if they manage to win this election, or at least cut the opponents majority to less than 5000 votes, will our Malaysia being directed to become a more racial-divided nation? We will wait and see, though I do expect them to lose heavily this time...
