In a post-election report by The Malaysian Insider today, it highlighted the promises Najib made to the Chinese in Hulu Selangor in the final days of the campaign: An allocation of RM3 million for a Chinese primary school; RM90,000 for the Ulu Yam Kwang Tung cemetery and more allocations for Hokkien and muhibbah associations in the area. But the support level from the Chinese voters was reduced from about 35 per cent in Election 2008 to less than 30 per cent yesterday.
And of course, Malay right-wing group Perkasa is quick on the trigger, and is demanding that the Barisan Nasional government review election pledges made in Chinese areas in Hulu Selangor because of the community’s poor support for the BN coalition!

Let it be said that Malaysian Chinese are nobody’s fools, and that the majority of them are firm on the principle that they should reject BN! It also proves that the Chinese are not easily bought!
Rangers narrowly beat Hibernian 1-0, and so took the Scottish Premier League title, and leaving Celtic as the second-placed team again! Shame on you, Celtic!
In the Liverpool-Burnley game, the former turned on power only in the second half and zapped the latter 4-0. Steven Gerrard's second-half brace (52, 59) and further goals from Maxi Rodriguez (74) and Ryan Babel (90+4) relegated Burnley and kept Liverpool's top-four hopes alive, just barely alive!
