Of P78 Cameron Highlands : PH misadventure... BN last call

Congrats BN for retaining P78 Cameron Highlands.

The win is not a signal for BN to jump in joy nor is it a warning for PH to start delivering. It is more of a status quo and a subtle message to MIC - you are deadmeat, and no longer wanted in Cameron Highlands...

There is no surprise when the official results were announced for P78 Cameron Highlands. It is expected since PH misadventures... factors that lead to BN retaining P78.

In short, there are those in Pakatan Harapan whose head is bigger than their thoughts. Their misadventure begins from the first day of campaigning and becomes worse as the days drag on...

1. PH Senator threatens Tok Batins to support PH. Whether he means what he says or whether he is misquoted, the damage was done when the said Senator fails to remedy the situation and instead choose to use political rhetorics to defends his statement.
2. Perception that Ministers use government vehicles for campaigning. Generally, the public still equates power with abuse... due to BN overstaying in power for the past 60 years;
3. PH Ministers seem to contradict each other, even in major decisions. Azmin - Lim Guan Eng understanding of ECRL status is an example and this sets a negative impact for the by-election;


Pakatan Harapan needs to regroup and give a better fight the next time.

P78 is basically Manogaran's loss. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, it is clear that Manogaran still makes novice mistakes :-

1. Statement like "Malays don't buy kuih from orang asli" is self-destructive;
2. Wearing shirt with political logo during voting is a clear blantant act of either too cocky or not sensitive to EC standards in voting;
3. His agents including a Tengku caught using government vehicles during campaigning and harassing opponents is totally unnecessary and costing hom valuable votes;

In that, Manogaran can kiss goodbye to whatever inspirations or dreams of becoming an MP. He is just not born to be a politician...

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
