Yes BN has won in the Hulu Selangor by-election, but its definately a hollow victory. With the use all the government machinary to go into battle, including millions of ringgit of tax-payers money being given away as incentives, it would have been a big loss of face for BN to lose. The actual amount had reportedly been in the region of at least RM51 million. So much so that some quarters have described this particular election as a “buy-election”. It is also a hollow victory because of the chicanery that was carried out by the EC. Without being informed, a large block of voters had their polling stations relocated and this matter was only publicly revealed by the PR election team. The relocation of voters from one polling station to another without unforming the voters is in itself a manipulation and fraud, but how do you explain when a person is relocated out of the constituency and into another state in the north? A husband and wife team was one of the earliest to arrive at their polling station where they had cast their vote in the last GE. However this time, only the husband's name was registered at the polling station. On checking with the PR team, she found she has been relocated to Penang. What nonsence is this? Are we to just accept this manipulation? Where is the rule to protect our rights? So what glory is there in this victory for the BN? It is utter shame.
Now that the BN has won, let's see how far they are going to keep their promises to those who never learn their lessons. But first let the Rasa Chinese Primary School call on the PM tomorrow to claim the RM3 million he has promised if BN wins.
