GE14 Battle for Malaysia: Update 4

Yay-y-y, BN's Shahrir Abdul Samad loses UMNO’s only urban seat in the southern state of Johor – Johor Bahru – to PKR's Akmal Nasir. Shahrir, who is Felda chairperson, has held the seat for six terms. PKR bags 42,570 votes against BN's 25,274 votes, with a majority of 17,296 votes! 

And unofficial results put Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as the winner in P075 Bagan in Perak. Another important win for BN. 

DAP has retained the Kepong parliamentary seat with a bigger majority. Lim Lip Eng from DAP was declared the winner after garnering 56,516 votes against Gerakan candidate Ong Siang Liang's 4,888 votes. The seat has been held by DAP since 1982, with incumbent Dr Tan Seng Giaw serving eight terms.

In Johor, incumbent deputy minister in the prime minister's department Razali Ibrahim reportedly loses to Bersatu Youth chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman in Muar. Incumbent deputy international trade and industries minister Hamim Samuri is defeated in Ledang, losing to PKR challenger Syed Ibrahim Syed Nor. And another incumbent deputy international trade and industries minister Chua Tee Yong surrenders his Labis seat to Pakatan Harapan. 

Amanah’s Ahmad Termizi Ramli has conquered the UMNO bastion of Kuala Kangsar by defeating BN incumbent Mastura Mohd Yazid. 

Invoke are wrong. PAS have succeeded in capturing two state seats, Kota Anggerik in Selangor and Jengka in Pahang. 

PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has successfully defended the Pandan parliamentary seat – having replaced incumbent Rafizi Ramli while Amanah president Mohamad Sabu wins the Kota Raja parliamentary seat.

PM Will Be Changed Tonight

A nail-biting GE14!

I Did My Duty as a Malaysian - I Voted

This morning, I joined Malaysians to exercise my duty as a citizen. I voted. 

And of course, I voted for Pakatan Harapan. 

The whole exercise took two-and-a-half hours but it was mostly spent in queuing at my polling center in Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Selangor in Jalan USJ4/2, Subang Jaya, Selangor. 

The actual balloting took less than 3 minutes.

Afterward, I rewarded myself with an ice-cold Coke. 

Now I shall keep my fingers crossed for the GE14 outcome.

The Legends

Very soon, they shall return to Putrajaya.

Their mission: To save Malaysia!

Pakatan Harapan Head for Victory

Invoke are predicting that Pakatan Harapan can win 111 out of the 165 Parliamentary seats in Peninsular Malaysia – thus they can form the next federal government with a simple majority. 

This is based on the latest study conducted over two weeks ending May 04, 2018 involving 11,991 voters nationwide – they were selected through random stratified sampling and weighted according to the population for each state. The data was finalized last Thursday and released yesterday. 

PH shall sweep all the states in the West Coast except for Perlis, with Barisan Nasional regaining Kelantan after a 28-year gap, and also winning comfortably in Pahang and Terengganu. 

Of course, PAS are loudly protesting. They wish to believe the 'green tsunami' will lead them to victory!

And in the two PH strongholds of Selangor and Penang, good news! PH are expected to emerge clear winners in all the parliamentary as well as the 56 state seats in Selangor and all the parliamentary seats and 38 out of 40 state seats in Penang. 

Invoke claim that in the Federal Territory, PH will win 11 out of the 12 Parliamentary seats being contested. 

The UMNO fortress of Johor is set to tremble and totter and topple over. PH are said to have convinced enough voters to capture the state – winning 21 out of the 26 Parliamentary seats and 39 out of the 56 State seats. 

My home state Melaka too will see PH victorious, securing 4 out of the 6 Parliamentary seats and 17 out of the 28 State seats. 

Over in Negeri Sembilan, 5 out of the 8 Parliamentary seats are expected to fall into PH’s hands, as well as 20 out of the 36 State seats. 

PH will recapture Perak, taking 16 out of the 24 Parliamentary seats and 38 out of the 59 State seats up for contest. 

And Kedah will surrender to PH, winning 11 out of 15 Parliamentary seats and 21 out of the 36 State seats. 

BN hold on to Perlis and winning 2 out of 3 Parliamentary seats and 9 out of the 15 State seats going. 

Pahang insists on staying with BN and they will win 8 out of the 14 Parliamentary seats up for contest, and 27 out of the 42 State seats. 

Terengganu is also expected to vote 'deep blue', with BN expected to sweep all 8 Parliamentary seats being contested and 31 out of 32 State seats. 

And in Kelantan, BN are predicted to take 13 out of the 14 Parliamentary seats being contested, and 42 out of the 45 State seats. 

Let’s see if the Invoke forecast is accurate and correct. 

If this is true, Malaysians will rejoice because Malaysia can re-boot and re-start. We can re-discover our shine. We can begin again.

Ceramah Politik PRU14 Kuchai Lama

I had attended the ceramah politik PRU14 Kuchai Lama organized by DAP yesterday that was held at Sri Desa Entrepreneur's Park in Jalan 1/116B, Off Jalan Kuchai Lama in Seputeh, KL. It is actually in an open space in front of the DAP Seputeh office.

Not surprisingly, it was a full house. 

I didn’t stay for the whole ceramah but I did manage to listen to a couple of speakers who included Marina Mahathir. 

BTW, I was on the lookout for transportation that allegedly ferried people so that the opposition could show overflowing crowds at their ceramahs – at least according to Najib Razak – but alas! I didn’t see any buses at all. 

Anyway, Malaysians – please exercise your vote on Wednesday!

Every vote counts! 

Ini kalilah!
