The Battle for Penang

Penang voters are between the many sophisticated in the country.

In the past, they have many times voted for the statute bloc during State turn though for antithesis possibilities for Parliament, so which they would not lose out upon development, though during the same thing, have the some-more vocal voice in Parliament. This is the form of check as well as balance.

In 2008, they have turn so disenchanted with the statute state supervision which not only they voted overwhelmingly for antithesis during Parliament level, they also uprooted the total BN government, as well as statute parties such as Gerakan, MCA as well as MIC were totally routed, with nothing of them winning the single seat. Out of the 40 state seats, only UMNO managed to win 11 out of the fifteen they contested. PR won twenty-nine , mainly in Chinese majority as well as mixed seats.

This time around, BN is withdrawal no stones unturned in trying to win behind Penang. They even resorted to dangerous fanning of secular as well as eremite sentiments. Penang in the difference of the distinguished personality of the civil multitude is right away ' the really polarised as well as divided place'.

In personification up secular sentiments, the fool around of BN in Penang is to goal which UMNO this time around will win fifteen out of the fifteen seats they contested. With the return of the little Malay votes, they goal which MCA or Gerakan or MIC can manage to win behind the little seats. There will be 2 opposite scenario depending upon the number of seats these member parties might win.

If these 3 not as big parties can win up to 6 seats, afterwards BN will rule with the elementary majority. A Gerakan candidate who is the leader in one of the state seats will turn the CM, even though we can see from the incident as well as mathematics which he would be the really lame lameduck CM, since which the exco will be primarily stuffed by UMNO winners.

If these 3 not as big parties win only about 4 or even! 5 seats , the Big Brother with the extensive resources as well as 'info" during palm might entice/coerce the little of the PR members to cross over. Frogs, like in the case of Perak after 308, will always be there.

This will test the legality of the antihopping law upheld recently in the State Assembly, as well as thus the justice battle will be unavoidable .

Meanwhile, whoever will have the confidence of the Governor to form the supervision will form the government, tentative the outcome of the battle in the court. The Governor's preference will substantially hinged upon who wins the Federal election.

But since which some-more than 80% of the racial Chinese voters will be anti-BN ( it took them the integrate of millions outlayed as well as the 8 notation opening by PSY to find this out), it will in truth be the miracle for these 3 tiny parties to win any seat.

So as the person who hails from Penang, we consider this time around, PR might still win Penang, though BN might have the integrate some-more extra seats because of the stronger UMNO. But to win behind Penang? It has to take some-more than free handouts, fanning of secular sentiments or the opening by the Korean Star to do it.
