  2. Great news. BUT, its not over yet. Don’t be too optimistic. These BN guys can still do wonders. Please ensure all PKR members are on their toes for any untoward incidents and any hanky pankies by the BN guys during the ballot count in all polling stations. Heard that there r 3 buses load of “BN voters” coming to PP have been sighted by a fellow PKR member. Heard also he was arrested by police. We need all the help from all to get this situation in control by PKR.
    Best of luck.

  11. Way to go….way to go. Salute to all the good people of Permatang Pauh! You have done us all a huge favour and we thank you very much! Congratulations to Anwar and his family. May God be with you always. Let’s now march on to Putrajaya and make the change.

  13. YES!! VICTORY AT PERMATANG PAUH!!

    Postal votes can only help if the margin of win is small, not when it’s a huge majority. And besides, for PP, there are only 500 postal votes. BN is buried!

  15. This is great if the final results bear out this projection.
    It’ll be be a real cause for celebration granted the lower turnout of about 65%.
    So it must a larger number of Malaysians in Permatang Pauh have embraced the agenda of change.
    Forward ho, Anwar to Putrajaya you shall go!

  16. I promised to give free lunch to a friend if Arif Shah loses his deposit and I Will Glading Throw In a Can of Beer when the official result is out.

    Cantonese saying ‘shee tou lat foo!’ That should attract Saifool.

    I am afraind that BN will resort of dirty tricks to change the equation.

  17. YB, please make sure you ask PKR members to bring candle along with them just in case they “TUTUP API” like the one use to happen in Sarawak…

    When they TUTUP API then we LIGHT UP our candle.

  23. Also concerned about YB Gobalakrishnan, who is reported to have been beaten up by police, together with his sons, and then arrested, is also reported to be held at Seberang Jaya Police station.

    Lilian of People’s Parliment reports that Gobala saw police escorting one of the buses and wanted to know why they were escorting the bus into Permatang Pauh.

    Any updates, guys?

  27. This will be another new mile stone for MALAYSIA history and we all hope this will lead to fresh changes and rooted off all BN bad practices. We also hope good will prevail and whatever actions taken should take the All Malaysian interest into top consideration. We want to move forward from now and we want all leaders concentrate on the real issues that have affecting all Malaysians.

  31. Great news! Hooray for democracy! Malaysians have come of age!

    However, final count still not out yet. But assuming 65% turnout, and DSAI has 15k majority, then BN bloke only got about 11-12k! Malu for BN lah!

    Well done again DSAI and PR!!

  32. do anyone here have Arif Shah’s email address? or does he have any blog?
    i would like to drop him a message saying: “hey u kalah dalam pilihan raya kecil? apakah perasaannya anda kalah?
    HEHEHEEH(batman’s joker laugh)”

  33. There are signs of significant swing to PKR despite the lower turnout. In the state constituency of Penanti, which PKR won at the March 8 general elections, the party has bagged the sole polling station, Telok Wang, it failed to win five months ago.

    March 8 result: BN – 261 votes, PKR – 227
    Aug 26 result: BN – 232 votes, PKR – 260

    Anwar is also making gains in the state constitutency of Seberang Jaya, where PKR had lost to BN candidate Arif on March 8.

  34. 6.33 petang: Keputusan terkini:

    Roflmao i hope NOT we should show them were educated supporters unlike BeEnd gummy bears lol.

    WOW What a great news indeed! im still working till 10pm before i offwork cant wait tv anouncement! YES YES!

  37. Anwar’s press conference at 9pm is believed to declare his victory. The press conference was rescheduled to 9pm from its original time of 7.45pm

    Not sure if it televised or what channels, you guys just have to explore.

  39. Could not get onto Malaysiakini, Malaysianinisder and Malaysia-today! What happened? Traffic jam? Or some wise guy did not want the news to break out concerning the Permatang Pauh results ?

    But Saudara Lim Kit Siang had the news! Three Cheers to Kit!

    S.H. Huang

  41. Aiya! The whole BN machinery was used to back up one poor fellow! What happened BN? Haha the machinery broke down mid-way Lah – poor maintenance, no genuine spare parts, all spareparts used are local-made!

    Never mind, the new future PM will ensure machinery is always in tiptop condition, I hope!!

  43. If DSAI won this, the next he has to beware is what The BN guys will do in the sodomise court case. I swear, they will try best to acheive what they want. They have publicly told Permatang Pauh – if DSAI is guilty, there will be another by-election which they claimed it is costly, wasting people time etc.

  50. If Anwar wins officially, its like an angel has come down to save us!! May God / Allah bless these wise permatang pauh residents for their far-sight of a more harmonies multi-racial malaysians and hoprfully that PK can guide each and everyone to better and more prosperous future.

    however, i fear BN will not go down well and accept defeat because of their ever ignorance attitude. they will start to make up fabulous stories as an excuse to go head-hunting arrests people especially oppositions via police and the infamous ISA . they will for sure even threaten their own MPs not to jump ship at this time so WE MUST BE STRONG to oppose their barbaris acts if this should happen !!

    As for BN MPs, this is the MOST PERFECT TIME to make the BOLD MOVE to jump ship for the betterment of MALAYSIAN no matter we are black,brown,blue or what-ever color we are. To these BN who think they should do it for their children future sake and for MALAYSIA RAKYAT, let me be the first person to BOW AND SALUTE YOU DATUKS !! you will go down to HISTORY WITH HONOR AND DIGNITY instead of other scam-bag BN who shall be spit and curse forever !!! i will really their children who has to endure and face the rakyat’s wrath for their wrong-doings !!

    Let’s hope this time around, MERDEKA DAY will ONCE AGAIN BE REVATALISED under Anwar’s PK REGIME !! MERDEKA ! MERDEKA ! MERDEKA !

  52. Anyone got any idea what happened to Malaysia Today’s site, read that the site has been hacked by some pig head.

    Anyway, it is a DAMN GOOD news if DSAI wins … some tooth is gonna fall …

  58. People of Malaysia,

    We need to remember that it is always hard for any ruling party to relinquish power even if they lose to a democratically elected opposition. Two striking examples jumps to mind: Myanmar and Zimbabwe.
    So don’t think that BN will quietly leave town. Too much is at stake, especially all their dirty dealings. What LGE has uncovered is just the tip of the iceberg.
    To unseat BN, all patriotic Malaysians need to remain resolute.
    And RESOLUTE SHALL ALL MALAYSIANS BE!!
    DSAI – WELL DONE. PP is just but a small step. More hurdles need to be overcome and OVERCOME SHALL OBSTACLES BE as Malaysia awaits its RIGHTFUL PM!

  62. Up to 7:54pm results as follows:

    Anwar – 11,044 (68%)
    Arif – 5,187 (32%)

    15,000 PKR supporters are at counting centre to receive the final results. The barricade separating the BN/PKR supporters have been removed ‘cos the BN supporters have gone home?

    Cheers! :D

  69. At the end, it has been proven – BeEng actually could have saved millions of RAKYAT money by declaring a walkover in the beginning.

    A high price to pay for wanting to look at the last poker card.

  72. 15,000 PKR supporters are at counting centre to receive the final results. The barricade separating the BN/PKR supporters have been removed ‘cos the BN supporters have gone home? [lkt-56]

    I smell a RAT! Calm before the storm. What is BN hatching??? PR supporters pls be vigilant! Someone pls sms or call the ppl they know who are at the counting station, PRONTO!

  79. Congratulations! Sincere thanks to all the voters who played a hand in DSAI’s victory.

    The next step is to get the necessary MPs to join Pakatan Rakyat and march on to Putrajaya.

    That should be the goal of all the parties in the Pakatan Rakyat. Get the MPs from Sabah/Sarawak and the disillusioned ones from BN.

  81. I smell a RAT! Calm before the storm. What is BN hatching??? PR supporters pls be vigilant! Someone pls sms or call the ppl they know who are at the counting station, PRONTO! [seage]

    Nah!!! They just needed extra space to accomodate 15,000 people. ;)

  85. 8pm: Unofficial: Anwar Ibrahim is the winner, obtaining a majority of 16,210 votes. He garnered 26,646 votes while Arif Shah Arif Omar got 10,436. His wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, won the seat with a 13,400 majority in the March 8 general election.

  90. 20:26

    After the counting of ballot papers of 65 polling streams, the EC has announced that PKR’s Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is leading with 18,671 votes. BN’s Datuk Ariff Shah Omar Shah has garnered 8,379 votes while AKIM’s Hanafi Hamat only managed 51. Only results from 45 streams have yet to be counted.

  93. Don’t be so happy. The count is not yet over. Arif will never lose and UMNO will never fall. I want to caution those who are being over excited here. It sounds as if Anwar has been elected as PM. Mind your words and open your eye wide and see who is the government here!

  97. Kasim Amat

    What “consequence”? Is that another veiled threat inspired by the bully tactics of your bosses?

    Democracy is about choices. Citizens as taxpayers are free to make their choices. These choices must be respected, whichever they go.

    So, poo-dah. Stop issuing threats. Don’t be a bully. A bully is someone who is unsure of himself or herself. Go figure.

  98. Kasim Amat, what happened la? You were going to bury Anwar’s politics? Instead, you, together with your BN beruks have been buried in PP.

    Hear ye, hear ye, this kucing kurap has lost all face, so he is now threatening we should be “ready to bear the consequence”. Kasim aka Beruk aka JK aka Kaki Perempuan, we are ready for you! You make sure you dont run and hide behind your FIL. You RAT!

  101. 8.55pm Source: M. Ramachandran ( The People’s Parliment )

    Saw YB Gopalakrishnan handcuffed at the Seberang Jaya hospital. He said he was okay although he appeared to be in a state of shock.

    At the time of reporting, he is understood to sstill be at the emergency centre awaiting examination and treatment. He has already been x-rayed.

    His sons are still in the police station lock-up.

  102. Kasim

    Your earlier posting about who the government is. What’s wrong with you?

    Do you mean to tell me that we must “fear” the government? Is the government you purport to represent founded on FEAR? And must the government you purport to represent operate on BULLY tactics such as THREATS and all that?

    Poo-dah!

  105. We are all born with with a free will. Kasim Amat has chosen to believe in BN politics whereas the majority here has chosen to give Anwar a chance to show us that he can do a better job.

    Let us not quarrel and leave brother Kasim to get over his sadness. His reaction is only natural. If the results has been the other way around most of us here would be unhappy too.

    Give him a break folks!

  109. Vidya Yong

    Don’t bash Kasim Amat.

    He is just telling all of us that his government, the government he purports to represent, is founded on FEAR and adopted BULLY tactics like THREATS to turn tax-paying citizens into COWS.

    If I am in the government, I do not think I want him as my spokesman … unless he is telling the truth.

    Kasim, now you explain or poo-dah!

  111. Hei Kasim, with the entire mainstream media (broadcast and print) on BN’s payroll, with the entire BN leadership (from AAB to Najis, Hisap Mu Din et al) arriving at PP, with all the vote rigging and vote buying, you FAILED miserably. People of PP cannot be bought. But you, you still don’t get the picture.

    I say man, had you been to Oxford, you would get it. But then, you studied at Oxfart, didn’t you? That explains it. Hahahaha……..

  112. The margin is certainly bigger than Wan Azizah’s.

    THE PEOPLE’S VERDICT

    Kit,

    Congratulations! Looks like you have to postpone retirement. It is your destiny to stay on a little bit longer to impart your wisdom to the younger generation. ;)

  117. Thanks my friend…. Honestly nobody knows the true numbers because results are posted enthusiastically by bloggers. Just thought it would be helpful if we can have at least some indication of what’s happening. My information are from Harris Ibrahim Blog which seems the least congested.

    What matters is that despite the Sodomy allegation this results shows that negatives deeds begets negative outcome and ….

    THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE COMES INTO PLAY

    Caution: Do not be over exuberant for nothing is permanent.

  119. Elizabeth John of NST reported from the Vote Tally Centre
    at 21:14 :

    After the counting of ballot papers of 99 polling streams, the EC has announced that PKR’s Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is leading with 29,195 votes. BN’s Datuk Ariff Shah Omar Shah has garnered 14,444 votes while AKIM’s Hanafi Hamat only managed 89. Only results from 7 streams have yet to be tabulated.

    ps: I, too am confused as the total votes casts seem to have exceed 40,000

  128. I waited for this day to come and to hear the good news is like the sun is shining brightly at night. All those MIC ladies who went to PP without any shame after losing terribly during the last GE, what do they have to say now. Samy value said their members are doing door to door campaign, dia orang dapat penyapu ka. I hope the sodomy, economy, saiful mee, Nalla mee will end soon. What new tricks do the UMNO beruks going to have on DSAI? Can’t wait to see DSAI walking into parliment.
