71. Start now for the next GE and don't be complacent

So, BN is still in power... is based on a flawed mandate mainly due to the BALLOT BOX frauds.

 Never give up, a lot of work to do start now , lay out our strategies to win the WAR.  Joshua

> Did you, any of you, really think that PR would sweep the elections? Put aside the dirty campaigning, and election tactics, did you really think PR would win?

> From what i've seen over social media over the last few months, I thought that PR would win more seats. I believed that there would be a bigger change, I believed that the people would put into action what they were so vocal (online) about. But then I stopped myself and looked at the people in my social circles, the people I interact with online. We are a tiny, tiny middle class online savvy minority. It is because your social circle expected a certain outcome that you did too. But we do not represent the majority, and we don't even interact with them. Do you really expect to predict how they will vote? My father is Sarawakian, and I lived there for many years of my life. I lived in Kuching, but I know that in the interior and rural areas there are so many Malaysians who are not like you, who are not like me. Did I expect them to vote for PR, no. Did I expect them to vote for BN, yes. Why? Because that is all they see, that is what they know, the bribe money that they get means so much to them because they have close to nothing. And it's sad to say that that is the majority that we do not know.

> So instead of turning your profile pictures black, if you really believe in change and the party you support, start planning now. Start the campaign to win the hearts of the people outside the urban areas, the people in the heartland. We know what's going on, they don't. Go talk to them.
>
> And Malaysians, get to know the other Malaysia. Don't criticise them for voting the way they feel is right. Speak to them, get to know them, understand their plight, their needs, their wants. Then campaign to them, the urbanites are practically campaigning for you already.
>
> And don't wait until a few months before the elections to campaign. Start now. Start fighting for measures to be put in place for a better electoral system now. Start making those in power more accountable for their actions. Start making your candidates accountable for the promises they made. Stop allowing mudslinging and racism and sexism to flourish in our government. You won't stand for it, make your candidate not stand for it. Make them fight for a proper democracy over the next 5 years. Then we can see a change. It doesn't happen overnight. it doesn't come with one day every five years. And it definitely won't come if you give up.

> And make the change in you.
> You want our politicians to stop being racist and sexist, then stop doing it yourself.
> You want our government to stop being corrupt, then stop corruption in your own life.
> You want cleanliness and transparency in our country, live clean, live transparent.
> You are one of the atoms that make up Malaysia, don't ask for the changes that you don't live by.
> Don't be a hypocrite and ask the people in power to be any different from you.
>
> Take the small victories. No one ever said that the journey would be short or easy.
> Did anyone ever think that PR would make inroads into the birthplace of UMNO, Johor? I didn't, but they did.
> Did anyone expect 80% of registered voters to turn out to vote? I didn't, but they did.

Update - confirmed foreigners flown in to vote - BN govt cheats bigtime

This was received just this morning from a reliable source. BN Government cheats big time openly. They are willing to destroy the nation and its people to stay in power. 

Please send this message to as many people as possible throughout the country. 

TQ.

*******************************************
"Text just recvd. Last night, following information received I accompanied TAHAN leaders to the KLIA on a covert operation to ascertain if foreigners were being flown in on chartered flights.

I can now confirm for you that Tengku Adnan's claim that they are only flying in genuine voters is a lie.

We saw foreign workers being picked up with vans, even that of RISDA, to be taken to unknown destinations.

We have photographic and video evidence which are being processed and will be uploaded as soon as possible.

UMNO/BN are making ready to cheat us at the polls.

I have received intelligence reports that if we can prevent this cheating, we will take Putrajaya with 126 parliamentary seats.

We can only do this by preventing the foreigners from voting.

I have previously appealed to you to remain at your polling stations after you have voted to defend the same.

I make the same appeal now.

However, I am going to list below the constituencies that are particularly vulnerable and, based on information coming in, are where the foreigners are expected to be deployed.

We need you to defend these constituencies.

Down At The Airport!

2 May 2013

This post is also available in: Malay

Charter flights laid on by BN friendly Air Asia from KK and Kuching – with hoards of Indonesian plantation workers on board…..

Down at the airport is where it is happening with the Malaysian elections right now.
Secret flights are heading out loaded with cash.
Meanwhile overloaded chartered jets are flying in crowded with foreign workers, suspected of being dragooned into voting for BN.
It would appear that the rats are leaving the sinking ship, while the PM is still desperately trying to win this election “at any cost”
Emails from Air Asia & Malaysian Airways expose a desperate PM
Today, emails leaked to the opposition by staff working at both Air Asia and Malaysian Airways have left Najib Razak desperately exposed [see base of article].
They indicate that while his departing henchmen and rich businessmen have increasingly been losing faith that he can win this election, the PM has been caught red-handed trying to ferry tens of thousands of dubious voters over to KL to influence the outcome!
Staff insiders at Air Asia and Malaysian Airways have just leaked the devastating email interchanges, which lay bare the whole operation with both sets of emails implicating the Prime Minister personally in the extraordinary operation.

‘We need to move 30,000 people over a 3 day period’ – PM needs to know how our plans are going

As his UMNO troops have started to desert in their private jets, can the PM survive this devastating exposure?
Rats leaving the sinking ship?
Because chartered jumbos are not the only unusual traffic that has been raising eyebrows.
Private jets have also been busy as rich Malaysians are getting their money out by whatever means it seems.  One the eye-witness account from air crew came through to Sarawak Report yesterday of:

 “a private plane leaving Subang filled with a collection of luxury bags,and one large gunny sack stuffed with US dollars-estimated value RM 2.5 billion‬. Bags were dropped off by men in suits driving a couple of sliver Mercedeses , number plate “11″

From vote buying to vote flying!

Photographed yesterday at KK airport in Sabah – corroboration of the leaked emails. 20 buses were used to ferry the passengers say eye-witnesses

As for the traffic moving in the other direction, PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim has come out tonight stating that his information is solid that these are foreign workers being ferried to KL to be used as ‘voting fodder’.
PKR have made clear that they believe that the UMNO supporting Election Commission (both the Chairman and deputy were card-carrying UMNO members) are registering them as new voters.
One senior PKR member told Sarawak Report today:

“The National Registration Department which issues I.C.s (Identity Cards) secretly issue these cards to the PM’s Office, which then gets undercover agents to recruit foreign nationals, who get their pictures taken and then superimposed on the I.Cs and then the Election Commission which is in charge of registering voters simply key in the data of these new I.C.s into their system. Voila! New voters!”

And today Najib indeed appears to have been caught red-handed, bringing in dubious workers from the two East Malaysian states to vote BN in marginal seats in peninsular Malaysia.

Major operation of ‘Vote Flying’ – first the coaches to ferry thousands to the East Malaysian airports and then charter flights.

The leaked emails indicate that the Prime Minister has been urgently coordinating the chartering of massive 747s to ship over 40,000 Indonesians or East Malaysians from Kuching and KK, airports, backwaters that normally never see the like of such aircraft.

The incriminating evidence is there in snapshots, emails and aircraft information that are currently going viral on the web.
Both the emails leaked from Air Malaysia and Air Asia indicate that the matter is being coordinated by the Prime Minister’s office.  One from Malaysian Airways makes plain that the chartered planes are to “ferry voters and election workers from BKE and KCH”.
Since when did these sleepy plantation states become packed with poor West Malaysian workers needing charter flights back to KL or indeed East Malaysians, who might be registered in West Malaysia and need to go back to vote?

Pertinent ‘quick question’ from one Malaysian Airways exec – is the airline expected to carry the costs for this favour they are doing the caretaker PM?

Suspicions are now rife that many of these individuals may be foreign plantation workers, doing their masters’ bidding.

Passenger manifest

Illegal!
Meanwhile, the Clean Elections movement Bersih has come out in response to the news condemning ANY form of vote ferrying of this nature as illegal under the constitution.

“PROVIDING flights for voters is a clear breach of the Election Offenses Act, says Bersih’s Ambiga Sreenevasan, a former president of the Bar Council of Malaysia”.

Despite that illegality BN/UMNO have bowed to the weight of the evidence and admitted they are behind the ‘Vote Flying’, claiming they have some sort of justification in ferrying tens of thousands of East Malaysians over to the Peninsular for the election!

Party secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor also said the flights were paid for by “friends” of Barisan Nasional (BN), Reuters reported this evening. He denied the accusation earlier today by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that the Election Commission (EC) and the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) were involved in an operation to transport more than 40,000 dubious voters from Sabah and Sarawak to key states in the peninsula.[Malaysian Insider]

Malaysian Airlines – ‘Schedule to ferry voters and election workers’ from Kuching to KL

Moreover, while all names are obliterated from the Malaysian Airways emails, the ones from Air Asia show clearly who many of the key writers and recipients of the emails are. They include the Chief Executive Aireen Omar.
See this smoking gun email below from Omar with a second reference to the need to report back to the PM herself!  (full evidence via link is available at base of page)

Can you let me know about flight availability by tomorrow morning as I have to see PM at noon!!!

One wonders how BN has the brass necked cheek to pose as the party of ‘stability’ when it indulges in such grossly provocative acts as this plan to plane and then bus thousands of foreigners to the polling stations of such places as Selangor on Sunday?

Charter planes arriving just before the election and leaving straight after! Is this what BN mean about ‘winning’ back Selangor at any price?

Cooperation from BN’s ‘fixed deposit’ states
And how typical of the two corrupted BN tyrants of East Malaysia, Chief Ministers Taib Mahmud and Musa Aman to cooperate in such a scandalous activity.

According to airport insiders the charters have already started ferrying helpless plantation workers, who do what they are told to do

Both men are exposed up to their necks in graft, with billions in kickbacks firmly labelled against their names.  Therefore both are desperate to do what they can to save Najib who will protect them for as long as they can provide BN the seats he needs to keep power.
40,000 plantations workers on a plane by the weekend to vote in Selangor?  Why not!
Sabah’s Project IC is the direct comparison.  Then UMNO ‘legalised’ foreign nationals to steal the East Malaysian state from its native voters.
Now it appears they are flying those workers over West Malaysia to steal their states too!
Malaysian air crew speaking to journalists at Heathrow airport had this to say Tuesday morning:

“Was at Heathrow on Tuesday and met some senior aircrew. They claim that Najib is using MAS old 747s (the ones which were old and replaced by the new A380s) to fly foreigners in from both KK and Kuching…..  there have been several of these flights over the past weeks”[UK journalist].

As per Tony’s email!
The involvement of the Chairman of Air Asia is also plain in this trail of emails.  Tony Fernandez (now world famous as the owner of QPR Football Club) is the BN client and supposed ‘whizz kid’, who went from nowhere to the head of a major airline in a twinkling of an eye having caught the eye of Mahathir some years back.
He clearly owes his political allies some loyalty:

Air Asia, which is hand in glove with the Malaysian powers that be, needs to come out and explain each of these flights immediately – and the role of the PM in organising them

Today Anwar Ibrahim released this compelling evidence of the ‘vote flying’ in an urgent press statement followed by a release of the evidence that BN are now being forced to struggle to explain.

Get to the airport and photograph the disgraceful activity!

Worrying crowds – Are BN also Buying up Bangaldeshis as their traditional crowd fodder melt away?

Promoting BN, but is he Malay?

There is another issue that has been gaining attention across the blogs.  Concern has grown that BN has been paying a different section of Malaysia’s community of foreign workers to perform another aspect of its election strategy.
This is crowd buying.
BN’s oil flushed, timber flushed solution to all its problems for the last 50 years has been “if you need it, buy it”.
And in this election it seems that as it has become harder to buy up their own Malay supporters for the party, they have started to pay poor immigrant cheer leaders to wear their T-shirts and wave their flags.
Meanwhile, the real UMNO troopers are concentrating on getting their money out of town.
The level of graft of by the ruling elite, which is currently pouring its money out of KL and into foreign safe havens has been causing even the banking community to feel sickened at the sight, according to insiders who have confided to Sarawak Report.
Follow the money to see what a growing number of panicking UMNO bigwigs think the outcome of this election will be.  Last year as many Malaysians as British nationals bought property in Central London. One told a London estate agent before Christmas:

 ”I will buy any property you have in Central London on your books.  I need to get my money out as there is to be an election in Malaysia soon and the next government may be stricter about people like me taking out money like this!”

But, while BN’s henchmen are starting to run round like disturbed ants, there is one man who is determined that the party should win this coming election and that is the PM Najib Razak, whose pride depends on success.

Who can blame these people if they have been asked by their bosses to wave such flags for a small sum?

And if that means shipping in tens of thousands of foreign illegal voters and putting tens of thousands more into BN T-shirts all to con an election from his own people, then it seems he is prepared to try and carry it off.
But Najib’s actions are being watched by the entire nation now and they are likely to do far more damage than good to his cause of winning this election “at any cost”.

Subject: Voters in London

Lau Ben Hong 1 hour ago · Went to Malaysian High Commission in London to postal vote. Cast my vote for state and parliament for P106 PJ Utara but was extremely dissatisfied!

My state vote ballot slip had a full stop printed at the end of Lau Weng San-DAP. Parliament vote ballot slip was absent of peculiarities. As a result, I questioned the staff and asked them to provide me with another state ballot slip.

They said they had no extra slips on hand and that all they had was what they received from Election Commission. I strongly questioned them why no extra slips were provided in the case of peculiarities and stained votes. They did not answer my question! Instead they told me that my other option was to courier it back on my own!

I argued that a different delivery option DOES NOT make a difference if the voting slip was defective! Even if I fly back, it won't make a difference! Will the commission pay for my ticket?! NO!

They failed to assure me that my state voting slip was not defective. The officer said I have a choice, either vote or leave the premises! I said, if no extra slip was provided, what option did I have other than to believe that the slip was not defective and cast my vote!

Than the officer told me to speak to my representative outside of the commission. "Who is my representative outside?" Nonsense!

What really pissed me off was when the officer said "Just follow the majority!".

"What majority? !", I snapped back! The fact that he can make such a comment implies a hell lot of things!

Cast my state vote hoping that it was valid but at least I gave them hell for their incompetence!

Outside commission, I voiced my dissatisfaction with Bersih and they video recorded it to help convince more people back home to vote.

I can only hope and pray that my vote will be counted and will not be tampered! For the people in Malaysia , please vote and if the integrity of your slip is undermined, GIVE THEM HELL to provide you with a new slip because they have NO DAMN GOOD EXCUSE not to have extra slips available in the homeland! We should not be cheated of our rights to make a valid vote!

Our country will be doomed beyond recovery if we allow these CORRUPTED, HYPOCRITICAL, and EVIL MONSTERS to rule our beloved country! Our future generations deserve nothing but the best we can provide! So let us all vote for change!

 

Ini Kalilah ~ UBAH !!

Thousands attend Pakatan rallies

9:30AM May 1, 2013

DAY 12 What's happening during the election campaigns around the country today? Quotable quotes, planned events and unplanned incidents as they take place.
[PHOTO GALLERY]

---

12.30am - Gelang Patah: As the mega Pakatan Rakyat ceramah ends, the emcee announces that the total collection for the day stood at RM263,328.80.

This comes from RM173,328.80 collected from the ceramah alone and RM90,000 collected from the series of events held during the day.

The amoung is the highest money collection recorded since the election campaign kicked off on April 20th.

11.45pm - Johor Bahru: PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim reiterates that this general election is a choice between old politics that practices racial discrimination and new politics that provides fair treatment to all.

He promises that if Pakatan Rakyat rules Putrajaya, it would give full assistance to all schools from different streams as long as they strengthen the national language.

He also assures the Malay-majority crowd that there is no reason to fear DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang.

"Some civil servants told me they are worried because Chinese now are more active in politics.

"Why are you afraid? Because he is smart? Because he is brave? Because he is persistent? Or because he is hard working?

"Why you don't elect such person but Malay leaders who are stupid?" he asks, adding that the nation needs capable leaders of all races to lead the government.
11pm - Gelang Patah: The crowd that has thronged the Pakatan Rakyat ceramah in Skudai has ballooned to 70,000.

Speaking to the crowd, Pakatan supremo Anwar Ibrahim urges all voters to support opposition candidates, in particular DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang, to prove former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad wrong.

"I make no apologise. With respect to all Malaysians, his name maybe Lim Kit Siang, but he is man of principle. I salute him.

"Mahathir said let’s bury him in Gelang Patah and bury Anwar in Permatang Pauh.

"But Mahathir, I'm not Najib (Abdul Razak) that has no courage to rebut you."

10.30pm - Johor Bahru: Some 10,000 people attend a Pakatan Rakyat ceramah held at a market site beside Tan Sri Dato Haji Hassan Yunos stadium, in which PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng are slated to speak.

Despite the ceramah site being dark and stuffy, with rough tarred floor, the crowd has no qualms and sit on the floor as they follow the speeches.

The order is, however, temporarily halted as a woman screams when a mouse ran across from where she sits.

10.30pm - Sibu: The DAP ceramah held near Sibu bus terminal attracts up to 5,000 people.

During the ceramah, party deputy chairperson Tan Seng Giaw campaigned for Lanang candidate Alice Lau and Sibu candidate Oscar Ling.

Tan said BN was scared of losing power as it knew nothing about the role of the opposition, and joked that Pakatan will offer the former a free course so they can take up the lesson.

Tan also told the crowd that Pakatan plans to build more prisons to accommodate BN members convicted of cheating and corruption, soliciting big applauds from the crowd.

Meanwhile, the Sarawak United People's Party ceremah attracted a much more humble crowd of 700.
10.30pm - Gelang Patah: 60,000 turn up for the Pakatan Rakyat mega ceramah at the open air carpark of Sutera Mall in Skudai to listen to the speeches by Pakatan leaders.

The cars parked along the main road stretches away for at least 3km and many more with many more people still arriving.

The crowd, comprising majority Chinese, chant "Ubah, ini kalilah" (Change, this time) and "Wu Yue Wu, Huan Zheng Fu. Wu Yue Liu, Xin Zheng Fu" (May 5th, change government. May 6th, new government).

PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim, DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, PAS vice-president Salahuddin Ayub and Kulai candidate Teo Nie Ching are the heavyweight speakers tonight.

10.20pm - Damansara Utama: Some 250 Suaram comics books, titled ‘Hikayat Pak Monggol’ and ‘Scorpene’, sold at a opposition ceramah in Damansara Perdana are swept up by an enthusiastic crowds in just 5 minutes.

The comics refer to the relationship between murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibu, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and wife Rosmah Mansor.

The just five-minutes, the crowd filled the donation box, and the money will be used to bear Suaram’s legal expenses in the Scorpene case.

Some 2,000 people, mostly middle-class Chinese and Indians attend the ceramah, with the crowd even spilling over the ceramah venue.
Among the speakers are PKR Subang parliamentary candidate R Sivarasa and PKR Seri Setia state candidate Nik Nazmi.

PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar is scheduled to give a talk later at the Damansara Perdana venue, which is in the vicinity the of Subang parliament and Bukit Lanjan state seat constituencies.
However, Nurul Izzah did not come in the end.
9.47pm - Luyang: The DAP and SAPP are holding ceramah at opposite sides in Foh Sang, which is usually identified as a SAPP stronghold.

Both sides have, however, managed to gather 1,000 people to their rallies indicating a possible narrow win for either side on Sunday.

Things are heating up between SAPP and DAP with the latter accusing the former of being a BN agent to split votes.

SAPP's Melanie Chia, who lodged a police report against DAP's allegations, is defending the seat against Sabah DAP advisor Hiew King Cheu, MCA's Agnes Shim and Star's Jafery Jomion.
9.30pm - Ipoh Barat: Bersih co-chairperson Ambiga Shreenevasan takes to the stage of a DAP ceramah and addresses the 3,000-strong crowd, comprising mostly Chinese and Indians.

She urges all the Malaysians to support Bersih’s Jom 100 campaign to push for 100 percent voter turnout rate on May 5 as one vote is no ordinary vote but can rid the nation of corruption, abuse of power and racism.

"The voter turnout rate last round (in 2008) was 75 percent. I perdict this is going to be the highest voter turnout in the history of the country.

"We will vote peacefully because we are peaceful people. So on May 5, please go early, go peacefully, do not fear, because you are not alone." she adds, drawing the loud cheer from the crowd.

Meanwhile, 300 metres away, BN’s Buntong candidate C Sivaraj is holding an Indian performance and so far approximately 200 people have turned up to attend.

9.30pm - Titiwangsa: Some 4,000 people gather at Kelab Sultan Sulaiman to hold a special prayer for a Pakatan Rakyat victory.

They pray on an open field against the backdrop of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

Among those speaking at the gathering include PAS vice-president and Putrajaya candidate Husam Musa.
8.50pm - Gelang Patah: The DAP mega ceramah in Sutera Mall causes a massive traffic jam in Skudai town.

Yesterday, the DAP also held a mega ceramah at the same venue, which saw a 50,000-strong crowd attending and collected more than RM190,000 worth of donations from the public.

8.30pm - Gelang Patah: An Indian concert organised by BN-friendly NGO Persatuan Sivik India Malaysia, attracts about 500 people in Tun Aminah Mini Stadium eager to listen to the Bollywood-style music.

Before officially kicking off the concert, the organiser holds a lucky draw and awards some hampers and a 32-inch LCD television.

Johor BN chief and candidate for Gelang Patah Abdul Ghani Othman is slated to speak in the event later.

6.50pm - Muar: DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng makes a brief visit to Muar town where he manages to attract a crowd of close to 15,000 people.

Lim is helping DAP's Bakri candidate Er Teck Hwa and Bentayan candidate Chua Wee Beng to campaign, with four days left to the general election.

"Many of them came but we still need to work hard, only then do we have hope of winning We need to do more," said Er.
6.00pm - Gelang Patah: Among the BN and Pakatan flags that have flooded the constituency, small yellow flags are spotted today near the Sutera Mall open car park where Pakatan used to hold its mammoth rallies.

Apparently, the yellow flags represent P Waythamoorthy’s faction of Hindraf, the group which has been reported as supporting the BN coalition after caretaker Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak accepted its blueprint for the Indian community.

The movement is slated to hold a ceramah in the constituency tomorrow night and featuring its chief P Waythamoorthy.

It is not surprising for Hindraf to campaign for BN here as Indian voters make up 12 percent of the total voters in Gelang Patah, one of the key seats in this general election which is being contested by Lim Kit Siang from DAP and Abdul Ghani Othman from BN. 

Today, the constituency also sees new BN banners featuring Najib. The big banners in both the Chinese and Malay languages read, "Support me, vote for BN".

2.30pm - Putrajaya: PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim speaks to a 3,000-strong crowd at Precinct 3 in Putrajaya, as he attempts to shore up even more support from the civil service for Pakatan Rakyat and its Putrajaya candidate, PAS' Husam Musa.

Anwar promised to restore the professionalism of the civil service, and said that the current caretaker government's move to bring in foreign consultants are undermining the skills of the local civil service in the country.

His fiery 30-minute speech is received enthusiastically by the mixed crowd, who braved the afternoon heat to sit and stand around the parking lot where the ceramah is taking place.

His appearance there comes shortly after former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad came down to Putrajaya to urge the civil service to continue backing the current caretaker government.

Putrajaya, normally a BN fortress, has turned into a proper electoral battleground as Husam's relatively strong machinery looks set to give incumbent Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor of BN a run for his money.

1.05pm - Segamat: The Jementah town comes to a sudden standstill as more than 500 locals flood the street where DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng is speaking, despite the hot afternoon weather.

Taking a leaf from caretaker Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's stunt in Penang, he asks: "Are you ready for BN?" to which the mostly Chinese crowd replied, "No!".

Lim (left in photo) also urges the people to back DAP's Jementah candidate Lee Chen Choon.

The crowd later swarms the stage as they stretch out various items for Lim's autograph. Traffic is slow as the crowd has spilled on to the main road.

12.21pm - Kota Belud: More than 2,000 people are here to celebrate the annual harvest festival Keamatan at the town field.

Kota Belud is host to state level celebrations this year, and officiating the event is caretaker state Chief Minister Musa Aman.

He tells the audience that the Keamatan festival is proof of the harmony and tolerance among the various races and religions in Sabah under the BN government.

He also reminded all that Usukan - which is located within the parliamentary constituency of Kota Belud - is the birthplace of Sabah Umno, and is its stronghold.

The Unduk Ngadau competition, an annual beauty contest of sorts held in conjunction with Keamatan, is stopped for a short while to respect the azan.

Kota Belud is contested by incumbent Abdul Rahman Dahlan for BN. He is going against PKR greenhorn Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis and three others.

11.45am - Segamat: BN's Segamat candidate S Subramaniam says he is facing a tough fight and needs to serve an antidote to those whose minds were "poisoned within a short period of time" by PKR rival Chua Jui Meng.

"We believe our base is okay and we are now focusing on fence-sitters and those who have been ‘poisoned’, especially among young voters.

"It is tough because - one, is the political climate of change, two, is my opponent and three, they are making a concerted effort to give me a tough fight and we have had to work twice as hard," he adds.

Subramaniam (left), who is also the caretaker human resources minister, is also continuing his pre-emptive strike against the National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) for wanting to picket against him in his constituency later today, just four days to the general election.

"There are certain parties which want to solve issues through blackmail, we cannot allow this culture to thrive," he says during a Labour Day celebration in Segamat this morning.

Asked later if the "blackmail" he mentioned is a reference NUBE, he replies, "Not specifically to them, but what they are doing is similar to that".

11.30am - Sungai Siput: About 40 residents from Cameron Highland - most of them vegetable garden owners - visit the service centre of SK Devamany to show support to the latter by holding up banners and passing out strawberries.

Devamany had been the Cameron Highland MP for two terms, before he was assigned to contest in Sungai Siput this time round.

Speaking to the press, KC Looi, the Ringlet new village chief, says that they here to tell the Sungai Siput voters to support Devamany as he is a friendly parliamentarian, as well as a “nice deputy minister of the Prime Minister's Department”.

"If his service is poor, we wouldn’t be here," he adds.

10.30am - Sungai Suput: As May Day this year falls in the general election campaign period, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) is unable to hold a big celebration as they are going all-in into the campaign.

Instead, Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj (right in photo) - who contests under the PKR ticket in the Sungai Siput parliamentary seat - is holding a small celebration in front of his service centre.

Addressing his short speech to 20 people, most of whom are his campaign workers and party members, the incumbent Sungai Siput MP criticises the BN government's policy which is said to be pro-corporate and investors, consequently making the workers suffer instead.

"If they (the corporations and investors) are happy, and the workers' wages are lowered, the union will be weaker. Less corporate taxes will be levied to the corporates, but taxes for the people increase," he says.

He urges the people to abandon the corrupted BN government and support Pakatan Rakyat to fight for the rights of the workers.

However, he adds that there is still a long way to go for the workers to be more organised to make sure that Pakatan policy will not be aligned with that of the rich corporates.

There is a three-corner fight in Sungai Siput, where Jeyakumar is facing the challenge from MIC vice-president SK Devamany and Independent SP Nagalingam.

Mohd Safwan Anang from Universiti Malaya (UM) says he is disappointed that UM authorities have screened the controversial ‘Tanda Putera’ film to UM students.
