Thank You, Ibrahim!

Apart from the brave folks of Sibu, BNmustgo would like to dedicate this historic win and express our deepest gratitude to our Wira Bangsa, Pejuang Perkasa, The ONE, The ONLY, Datuk Ibrahim Ali. Thank you, Sir for delivering us Sibu. Thank you, Sir for showing us the worst of Umno-BN. Thank you, Sir opening our eyes, ears and tok-shit mouths. Thank you, Sir for showing us whom NOT to vote for.

For this, BNmustgo shall forever be indebted to you, Sir! You are truly a bacon.. Err I mean, beacon for change - (yes, beacon as you inspire us to vote the other way.)

With this, we hereby nominate you for the office of President of Unmo, which you so deserve, also entitles you to the office of the soon to be opposition leader of Malaysia.
We hope you'll take this humble 'endorsement' with pride and continue to serve us from the bottom of your heart - delivering us seat after seat, erection (oops, there I go again! ) election after election.

Sekian, Wassalam, may Allah (applicable in Sarawak and Sabah, only of course) / GOD (in the Peninsula) bless you.
Love, from one BN group to another. BNmustgo that is!

Why Bukits Gantang and Selambau will have the CLEANEST elections ever! (and the re-emergence of a great Malaysian commodity) (Malaysiakini ?)

Do not be surprised by the title. Hear me out for just a couple of paragraphs...

Before Perak 2009
Here's the common scenario in any election in Malaysia, be it general, state or by-elections. - BN announces candidates, opposition announces candidates and you may have the occasional independent or 'back up' also-rans. - In the run up to the elections, usually within 7 days but the current trend suggest 10 or so, said constituency will see millions upon millions being poured in - roads, schools, temples, suraus, grants, projects, anything you else you can think of. Granted, if it's a by-election, the said area shall see 50 years of development overnight. - The usual opposition ceramahs, BN's free food and/or mini-concert events - Handouts and 'Ang pows' of all kind to all kinds of 'needy' folk - The usual accusations and counter accusations of fraud, vote buying, vote rigging, gerrymandering et al


So why do I say that Bukits Gantang and Selambau will have the CLEANEST elections ever?
Ok. If one were to use Permatang Pauh and KT or even a large chunk of the areas that fell to PR in March 08, as a yardstick, one does not need Khairy's Oxbridge credentials to come to a conclusion that all the above does not guarantee success at the ballot boxes. After all, in countless ceramahs, opposition leaders will tell you something along the lines of, "if they give you take. But still vote Rocket (Pas or PKR)!". Furthermore, handling out cash and/or freebies to the masses is always a logistical and public relations nightmare! So most of BN would by now have realised that they need another, more effective or shall we say 'sure fire' solution. And by God! Najis seems to have found one. Or three!

Which brings us to the re-emergence of commodity that is proving itself to be recession proof, worldwide financial meltdown proof! - The Malaysian Politician


Like all other commodities and equities, we can generally classify this 'product' into a few categories and sub-categories, each with different values (monetary ) and grades. Here are a few examples

A - Elected Reps (ER)

The elected representative, is usually worth the most and in light of the current stalemate in national politics, the most sought after -Some say some would pay tens of millions to get hold of one - as in a hung parliament or legislature, having procured one from the other side may well win you the right to form the government of the day. (Read up on the current Perak fiasco)

Within the 'Elected Reps' category, we will generally find a few other sub-categories, namely Opposition Rep in legislatures with small majorities - 'ORSM' ( e.g. Negri Sembilan)


Opposition Reps in legislatures with large majorities - 'ORLM' (e.g. Johore, Sarawak, Sabah)



Government Reps in legislature where BN is in the opposition - 'GRBNO' (e.g. Penang, Kedah, Selangor, Kelantan, Perak)

You don't need a degree and quantum physics to know that GRBNOs are the costliest, as happened in the Silver State recently. They will literally cost you a 'King's Ransom' plus a Camry or two. And lastly there's the Independents - "Ind", who by and large come at fairly economical rates.

On occasions ( pre Sept 16 2008, Bota, every time Anwar threatens to have the numbers), a rarer sub - category of this item will also be put on the market and it is termed the Soon to turn Opposition BN MP or Adun or in short, STOPBNMADs.


Due to the set up of the current Parliament ( no more 2/3 majority, 30 MPs to shift the power of balance), they are "HOT" commodities. Think fortune 500, Think Bluechips! (Well at least before the financial meltdown).

These, when they appear on the shelves will be snapped up by the highest bidder within a flash. Quite often, bidders have to throw in 'agriculture themed Holidays to Taiwan' and other add-ons like ' The disappearing act' and 'high-tea @ Kamunting'. Thus far, we have not seen the STOPBNMADs from morphing into SNAFUs (Stop Najis, F@ck Umnooo) so perhaps the trip to Taiwan worked. Or maybe, the Transfer Window for Parliament hasn't opened yet. That we leave to the players and dealers in this new and highly entertaining trade.

B - Non Elected Personalities (NEP)

These, compared to the ERs come fairly cheap, and are usually procured for added effect (Ezam*, Nalla). However, as cheaply as they maybe, certain NEPs, when procured and utilized at the right and opportune time in the hands of a shrewd political chess player can have election winning effects - i.e the case of Ramlang Porigi in Permatang Pauh last year.

So let us go back to 'Why the coming by-elections will be the 'cleanest ever'

Let me perhaps try to answer this question in the form of the following question - Why would anyone invest tens or hundreds of millions of Ringgit and move phantoms and uniformed personnel to try and win an election where the odds are so highly staked against you, when you can 'procure' the allegiance of the elected rep afterwards? Makes more economical sense to me.

*in Ezam's case, his procurement resulted in the exact opposite of what his new owners desired. A Political 'FUBAR' (F*cked Up Beyond Any Repair) - contributing to the loses in the PP and KT by-elections.

author's note: photo's of politicians and personalities above are posted for the convenience of readers to identify the type of politicians (by virtue of the state of the legislature that they are a member of i.e. small majority, large majority, hung parliament etc) that can be classified under the respective categories. There is no intention implied or otherwise to paint any of them as having put themselves on the market.

Defections Galore

Let's forget for a while about the morality of defections. That topic would be debated till the cows come home with no end in sight, if we were to really go into that.

We'll leave that for another day, another post. It's about the rumors of defections in Perak recently about the two PKR ADUNS going over to BN.

Here I'm going to list down the Top 5 reasons the PKR guys in Perak, Behrang assemblyperson Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Changkat Jering assemblyperson Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu, should NOT even think about turning over to the dark side, never mind discuss that topic with anybody:

5. Hope.The rakyat voted for you because they want change. Your constituents will never forgive you if you turn your backs on them at this most critical hour, when we are vying to whack BN in other states as well as at the Federal level.

4. Love. Yes there may be lots of money and perks for you. There might even be an EXCO post or two thrown in the bag. Hell, the BN chaps might even sell their mothers to you if the need be. But it's our children, and our children's children you should think about. If you can resist these temptations, then truly, you are there to serve your people. What kind of future do you want for them?

3. Guts. Turning to join BN shows you are a coward. So what's a little threat of jail time and hardship for corruption? All the top Pakatan leaders went to jail in the name of Justice. If you are truly clean, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, you knew the risk when you joined PKR and ran for election. Be brave, be strong, be patient and the rakyat will stand with you, hearts and soul.

2. Responsibility. The BN government is corrupt, dirty and is just plainly full of shit (for lack of more civilized words). The whole world knows that. I'm sure you guys do too. So to join them is to be dirty and full of shit yourself.

1. Far sightedness. BN is in disarray. They are the furthest thing from being a united front. Most of all, they are going to lose every single by-election from now until the next GE. And when it comes to that, they will lose the Federal Goverment as well. Which side would you rather be on then?

Shall it be six?

Four Negeri BN reps to defect 'real soon', claims PKR

Four BN state assemblypersons in Negeri Sembilan are keen to defect to Pakata Rakyat, according to a Seremban-based PKR supreme council member.

In the bag - Kelantan, Selangor, Perak, , Kedah
Up next - Negri?
Still to come - Sarawak, Federal Gov?

As it stands now in the Negri DUN - BN 21, PR 15
If the four jumps it will be BN 17, PR 19!

And what are the rest of us (including you frogs) waiting for?

(who's next?)
