“Five of the nine women elected for PR were from its component party Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR). Two were from Parti SeIslam Malaysia (PAS), including Siti Mariam Mahmud in Kota Raja. It is believed that, despite coming from PAS, Siti Mariam won her seat in 2008 due to support from Chinese and Indian voters. The other two women elected for PR were from the Democratic Action Party (DAP).”
This is wrong… Four women from DAP: Kasthuri Patto (Batu Kawan; only indian woman in 13th Parlimen), Alice Lau (Lanang), Teo Nie Ching (Kulai) and Teresa Kok (Seputeh)
My point in showing the example in Seri Serdang state seat is not to imply that I know who the 64,180 voters voted for.
What I am trying to illustrate that there was cross voting by voters of all races.
As you have clearly ilustrated in your example, even all the Chinese (38%) voted for the PAS candidate, she still need a considerable amount of vote from the Malays and Indian to win that seat.
This is also seen across most of the urban mixed seats in Selangor where many of the winning candidates whether they are from PKR, PAS or DAP obtained votes from across the racial divide.
Karen in the defence of ppl frm the rural areas, its hard to make political choices when you barely can provide a decent living fr yr family. The bloodsuckers from BN pry on these helpless souls to retain their political grip on them
As Malaysians who demand change we must take it up on ourselves to reach out to them, create the awareness of what rights they have been robbed all this while and why change is the only way forward.
Its only a Chinese political tsunami when the CANDIDATES and the VOTERS are polarised nationwide to their own kind. Last time I checked, my fellow voters frm the dusun tua div were hoisting PAS flags for a MALAY candidate. MALAYSIANS voted for CHANGE, not for any tsunami
AhJibGor its nt called political tsunami, its called ‘we got tired of the same service provider’ syndrom, ya digg??

Hmmm. I am guessing that I-lann’s collection is probably locked up. I like to suggest that you add her as a friend on facebook and send her a message telling her you are interested in having a look at her photo collection. I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to share them with you. Her collection is the most extensive by far and it might be just the thing you are looking for in terms of references.
Selvam, dont blame the Chinese. Its all race decided. If you think Chinese is the cause? That means sorrily, the Chinese have the guts and cannot be bought by money unlike the Indians. Why I say this? During the poll, one Indian lady in her 50’s was supportive of BN bcos of BR1M. How short-sighted Indians become when they see MONEY.
Even though Barisan Nasional won the election, it did not win the heart of the people in Malaysia, this can be seen as they got fewer popular votes than the opposition party. The only factor that drove its victory is just its rural-biased division of the political territories (of each parliamentary seat). As the results show, most of the urban-dwellers (esp. in the most economically important states – Selangor and Penang) voted for the opposition party. This clearly showed the dissatisfaction of people in the nation towards the current-ruling party. If BN does not reconsider its policies, and also if they do not play any dirty political tricks, the next election will be its grave.
L.P.Selvam, are u aware what race are you? What do you mean that this is a chinese political tsunami? Najib knows what he has done and all the ppl including malays know what he did to retain his seat and i think you have eyes to see and brain to judge so don’t start racist issues!
Sam you must be ProBN.. are u neglecting the facts? are you trying to say that the rakyat simply creates the videos they’ve encountered in fb ? out of nothing ? let me guess they got nothing else to do after casting their votes..then they must be really really creative lo 😉
Selvam and Sam, why so quiet? Coz you know that is the fact. No one recognizes NA-jib as a PM. Not even the King of Malaysia. We the people don’t want TRASH PM.
its the case of rural … outnumber urban … who wins dude… if it went by popularity vote… he is out. if it was like the USA electoral votes he is also out.. so a bunch of sweet uneducated kampung people (irregarldes of race) determines the country future…. that is simply wonderful

Dear Anya,
Hmmm. I am guessing that I-lann’s collection is probably locked up. I like to suggest that you add her as a friend on facebook and send her a message telling her you are interested in having a look at her photo collection. I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to share them with you. Her collection is the most extensive by far and it might be just the thing you are looking for in terms of references.
Best wishes,
