Kuala Terengganu votes
Posted: January 17, 2009 | Author: Michelle | Filed under: Politics | Tags: Barisan Nasional, Kuala Terengganu, Pakatan Rakyat, PAS, UMNO |4 Comments »Today is the day that Kuala Terengganu voters will be going out to cast their vote for the second time within the time-frame of one year.
During the last elections, the Barisan candidate won by a slim majority of 600+. I say slim, considering that the total number of registered voters amount to more than 80,ooo. That makes out to only a 0.7% majority. Stats can be found HERE.
I don’t do political analysis very well, and not being there only adds to my incompetency of writing much about what I think it’s going to turn out like.
Simply said, I have no idea what the results tonight will turn out to be like.
Is the so-called “Chinese swing” as important as some make it out to be? Will the so-called “Malay votes” be split 50-50?
I’ll be waiting up tonight to catch the final results before ending my day. And though I have no idea what the general vibe is like all the way back in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, I’m hoping to see PAS win the seat this time, and with a higher majority than just 0.7%.
Hi dear,
We are always down to ‘race’ stats in times like these, yah? But you’re right, it’s the Chinese swing that’s gonna matter. But I think that the Malay/Muslim factor is going to be a big deal too. A lot will ride on where they decide to ‘swing’ as well!
Fingers crossed, yah?
Pat
PAS has won by a majority of 2,631.
So, anybody volunteer to sponsor badminton racket to all BN MP?
Praise God and Thank Allah. BN thought they could win by turining KT by-election into a ‘buy-election’ which turned out to be a ‘bye-election’ for them! see http://www.jonathan66-my.blogspot.com
Mengapa orang mempertikaikan Hukum Hudud. Ianya hanya berlaku kepada orang-orang yang mengakui Keesaan ALLAH SWT. Sama juga Undang-undang Tentera hanya berlaku kepada Anggota-anggota ATM. Pekerja -pekerja awam ATM sendiri tak tertakluk kepada Undang-undang ini. Lagipun Undang-undang dan peraturan ciptaan ALLAH yang tentunya maha ADIL. Yang peliknya manusia-manusia yang engaku beriman kepada ALLAH yang nenolak nya.
