Permatang Pauh Has Spoken!
The tussle to get Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim to be the member of parliament for Permatang Pauh is over. At approximately 10.02pm the EC announced that Anwar Ibrahim has won the P44 seat with the below results :
Anwar got 31,195
Arif Shah, 15,524
Hanafi, 92
Majority : 15,671
A landslide victory in my books for the defacto leader who now can become the leader for PKR, the leader for the opposition and the leader to push for Putrajaya. I was watching the live coverage on Bernama tv and the panel were discussing the elections but there wasn’t any live cross overs to show the announcements what so ever.
It was hilarious when Tan Sri Mohd Taib was interviewed over the phone and he kept saying that its expected and its Anwars home,home,home ground(after being prompted by the host) so he has to do well. He was also talking about some crap about how BN lost more votes yada yada yada.. The host then asked Tan Sri Mohd Taib about Anwar statement saying that winning Permatang Pauh will set him to seize Putrajaya from BN and like a charm the line got disconnected …How convenient isn’t it 
Now its for Anwar to get sworn in and start consolidating and further strengthening the Pakatan to make a push for Putrajaya. The budget will be tabled on the 29th of Aug and i would love to see DSAI sitting on the opposition leaders seat listening to Pak Lah reading out the budget.
And how would Pak Lah feel about all this? Read the rest of this entry »

Permatang Pauh Live Results
The polls are now closed and the counting is under way. I had a conversation with a friend ealier who told me that if Arif win’s he will be swimming in the Gombak river in his underwear, If Hanafi wins he will do the same but in the nude and if its DSAI he will be celebrating with his family as a Better Malaysia is a possibility.
Another friend told me that if Arif or Hanafi wins, he wants to move to Mongolia and work on Mr Shaaribu’s farm but he thinks that DSAI will win and his children will enjoy the fruit of this struggle.
I dont think that there will be much coverage on mainstream with the announcement but if you want to stay up and wait for the late night news, there might be some coverage. Some sources where you can get some real time updates are HERE, HERE and HERE.
I hope that when the announcements are made, everyone will remain calm and enjoy the moments by staying indoors. No space should be given for anything bad to happen.

General Elections results,behind the scene
On the night of the general elections, how were you getting your info? I was on my notebook online on malaysiakini.com getting the results as they come in and watching the live telecast giving the same results about 2-3hours later! Im sure some of us who were doing the same experienced the site crashing a few times in the process.
Watch was really happening in the background in the Malaysiakini office!
