Polls on 3 by-Elections by Sinchew

Sinchew on-line recently conducted a poll for 3 by election to be carried out concurrently in April, 2009 for Bukit Selambau, Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai. Guess what. 86% of the voters think that Keadilan will win in Bukit Selambau, 91% think Pas will win in Bukit Gantang and 88% think Keadilan win the Batang Ai by-election. Interesting huh? It seems Chinese readers are pro-oppositions, be it Keadilan or Pas. What happen to Barisan Nasional then, if they could not get the support of the Chinese voters?

Of course the polls may not represent anything. It merely comprises of a couple of thousand of newspaper readers who took part in the on-line polls that mean the result is only a reflection of their preferences. But the sentiment of anti government is very clear cut. Majority of the Chinese don’t seem to like Barisan Nasional, or shall I say, they dislike the government? That sentiment was the major driving force leading to the political tsunami occurred during the 308 General Election. And until now, approximately one year later, the anti-government sentiments don’t seem to go away. With one year gone by, what have the government done to win back the support of the Chinese voters?

Pak Lah is stepping down seemingly taking responsibility of the biggest loss suffered by Barisan Nasional since independent. But is that enough? Those buggers other than Pak Lah in Barisan Naional, are they not doing anything. What I know is that some of the political veterans are still praying hard that the 6th Prime Minister will keep them as a minister or deputy minister or whatever high government posts. One of the very old veterans could still win his party election unopposed, what the heck. It seems that everybody tries to pass the buck to Pak Lah. There is no collective responsibility; this is the politic in this country. Good luck to us all in Malaysia. I wish you happy retirement Pak Lah. I respect you more than those buggers who hailed you like a god when you were in power and immediately asked for your resignation after 308.
