Permatang Pauh Prelude

Opposition leader Wan Azizah Ismail vacated her Ptg Pauh parliament seat, to enable her husband ex-DPM Anwar Ibrahim to contest for her seat. There were all kinds of reaction and comments. Ex PM Dr Che' Det remarked that its an act of a loving wife as expected. His wife (Dr Hasmah) would have done the same and was babbling some nonsense about running fast or slow. And the stupid reporters, wanting to humor him, laughed along like idiots. Were they laughing with him or at him, I wonder. It's common knowledge that this old man can't stand this Anwar or anyone close to Anwar getting the limelight. That was a pathetic sight. Home minister Albotak commented its all for her love for her husband. Again the idiot reporters laughed. Does your wife love you or not, Albotak ? This time I think the reporters laughed at him for sure. Who can forget how he made KL a traffic nightmare by closing several roads, because of a rumor. He wanted to sound Mahathir-ish but he flopped big time. Che'Lah PM's son-in-law Khairy wanting to show his machoness said Anwar is afraid to lose so Anwar is taking an `easy ride' and is running for a safe seat. This young upstart forgets that he too, had an 'easy ride' to the Umno Youth No.2, and had also contested a safe seat, Rembau in the elections. But Che'Gubard did provide some 'bumps' on the way. Did he remember the 'lashing' he got from Wan Azizah in parliament, for trying to be a smart-ass. Melaka CM (Umno VP) Ali Bhai said Anwar 'sacrificed' his wife for his own political interest. Education minister Hisham said Anwar is distracting people from the police report against him. Wanita MCA leader Yen-yen said, Wan Azizah played out her voters and has made a mockery of the parliament. Secretly, Wan Azizah is Yen-Yen's role model.She is going for one of the MCA vice-president's chair.The first ever MCA woman to do so. DPM Najib admits that the BN has got a big fight in hand. Kelantan's Annuar Musa, suggests that BN boycott the by-election . That's one big coward. Che'Lah PM said the BN is not scared of Anwar, but the law will take its course. Meaning that Anwar can go ahead and run for elections but he can still get arrested for any 'crime' reported against him. Such bravado from a man who just discovered that only 42% of Malaysians thinks he's doing a good job as PM. Recently, in an attempt to win back some popularity, Che' Lah PM promised to bring down petrol prices by September. And September 16 is Pakatan Rakyat's target to take over the Malaysian govt. So, lets wait for the EC to announce the nomination and election day this coming Wednesday. This is gonna be a big bang of an election.
