GE13: Of boats, floods and snakes


If polls have been reason during a stormy season, electorate might encounter snakes in a H2O whilst wading on their approach to a polling centres.
COMMENT
On Nov 25, an English daily quoted Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak as observant which a ubiquitous choosing can be reason in Dec notwithstanding a monsoon.
To quote word for word from a daily, a budding apportion said: "If it rains or a inundate occurs, [then we] can use a boat."
Boat? What boat? Is it a supervision machine vessel or his own boat? Also, is there a sudden rush to reason a polls which a monsoon deteriorate has to come into consideration?
Although there is no law opposite it, it is certainly not right to reason a polls during a inundate deteriorate as a electorate as well as a opposition Pakatan Rakyat who have no boats will be severely inconvenienced.
Ah, yes! The keyword here is "boat". This equates to which if a 13th ubiquitous choosing is reason during a inundate season, afterwards Pakatan is certain to lose, what with a dirty voter rolls being factored in as well.
The Tenang by-election in Johor was reason on Jan 30, 2011. PAS, which was contesting at which time, suffered a sum washout as a supervision machine was used to ferry a voters, generally a Felda settlers, to a polling centres.
That date was additionally reduction than a week away from a Chinese Lunar New Year. The Umno claimant obtained 6,699 votes whilst PAS polled 2,992. Umno won by 3,707 votes as well as this is deliberate a vast margin since this is only a small state seat. There were 142 spoilt votes whilst voter audience was 67%.
The! refore a most appropriate time to reason a polls to avoid any nuisance caused by floods is after mid-March as a continue forecasters have not prolonged ago likely which a monsoon will last compartment early March.
By afterwards everybody of a BR1M applicants would have received their cash handouts, too. This is so which Najib's aphorism of "Janji Ditepati" (Promises Fulfilled) can be seen to be proven true.
There is a Cantonese observant which goes similar to this: "After all, you have waited so long, what is another 3 more months?"
Moreover, a budding apportion has regularly said which a Barisan Nasional sovereign supervision is a satisfactory as well as caring supervision which does not wish to bar anyone in a policies as well as programmes.
Surely which includes being satisfactory to Pakatan in a planning, run-up as well as campaigning for a 13th ubiquitous election? Otherwise, what is a budding apportion articulate about?
Outstanding questions
Be which as it may, there have been still many superb questions regarding to issues which Najib has nonetheless to answer as well as preferably he answers them himself before a polls have been reason instead of removing someone to answer a questions.
Listed next have been a few questions:
1. Why is there a sudden re-delineation of a parliamentary bounds in Selangor?
2. Why is a AES (Automated Enforcement System) outsourced to two in isolation companies? and
3. What about a fast-tracked MyKad plan generally in Selangor?
Selangor PAS has collated a lot of black-and-white evidence of a MyKad plan in Selangor, generally in a seats reason by Pakatan lawmakers.
Till currently no one together with a Election Commission (EC) has come brazen to residence this issue.
The powers-that-be have kept an absolute silence as well as avoided this emanate similar to a disease not! withstan ding military reports being done by Pakatan.
And a biggest question of all: will Najib palm over energy gracefully in a eventuality which BN loses a 13th ubiquitous election?
Although this seems a remote probability due to collusion between a powers-that-be as well as a national institutions which have been ostensible to remain neutral, he still has to answer a question as well as give a assurance which there will be a prompt as well as well-spoken transition.
A DAP strategist who spoke on condition of anonymity opined which a polls will be reason either in late Dec or Jan as there will be no time to do so in Feb due to a Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations.
"He will not reason a polls in Mar as Pakatan will afterwards remind a rakyat about Mar 2008. Anyway, our DAP campaign aphorism if a polls have been reason before Mar will be 'New year, new government'. At a finish of a day, either he drags a date serve or binds it in December, Pakatan is ready," said a strategist.
The BN sovereign supervision contingency additionally take into care which there is a risk posed by snakes in a H2O during floods.
Some years ago, congregation of a grill in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, were enjoying their evening dish when a vast python slithered into a grill during a floods. This was reported in an English internal daily. Therefore dangers of snakes in a floods have been for real either in a urban or farming areas.
If polls have been reason during a stormy season, electorate might encounter snakes in a H2O whilst wading on their approach to a polling centres. This is really not receptive to advice as well as not gainful to a safety of a rakyat.
