Now that the dust is settling, Anwar will be sworn in as MP of Pematang Pauh tomorrow (Thursday) as reported by Bernama (read here). Looks like there’s nothing to stop this from happening and he will be voted as the Opposition Leader as well. Looks like it’s all set for the next phase of Anwar’s plan.
In a nutshell, the Pematang Pauh by-election results is a repeat of the March GE12 results where the voters are voicing out yet again the frustrations against the BN government. The slight decrease in BN votes may not be significant but the majority reflects a clear voice of dissatisfaction by the voters.
It also shows that no amount of mud slinging, character assassination, intimidation, silly promises and what nots can stir the voters. The results remain the same. It is NOT all about Anwar, it’s also about BN’s inability to make life better for the people and govern the country.
For now, Malaysians will have a good Merdeka Day!
