After KT: Who's irrelevant now?

PAS - 32,883
BN - 30,252
Bebas - 193
Majority - 2,636
Spoilt - 665
A Political Monsoon. Nobody in the BN's camp should be terribly shocked (or upset) with the victory.

A pre-analysis ranting You are a born loser, Farid! on the by-election by Jailani Harun, who has been at KT since early this month to cover the by-election, which has placed Pakatan Rakyat's "ketua umum" Anwar Ibrahim one step closer to Putrajaya.

In my opinion, the BN's defear in KT complete's Abdullah Badawi's failure as chairman of the coalition and president of Umno.
What some others said:
YB Wee Choo Keong:
"A PAS win is a rejection of BN. It is also a rejection of Abdullah Badawi for Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Salleh is Badawi’s man!"
A Voice
Sebab Kekalahan di KT: Calun, Calun, dan Calun
Sakmongkol:
"The people of Terengganu have done the opposite of what Dato Najib wishes them to do. His pontificating about how to behave- humble, shake hands firmly, be folksy, wear a sarong, didn’t go down well. He has probably antagonised the Terengganu people, in sufficient number so as to cause them to go over the dark side."
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah:
"Actually this was more than a referendum on the leadership. It was a test of the relevance of UMNO in its present form. If UMNO is no longer relevant to the Malays, the BN formula is dead".

p.s. I wonder if the PM, who has left the country for a tour of the Middle East, still thinks that Dr M was "irrelevant" to the KT by-election.

    3 main reasons why BN lost

    1. Pak Lah stupidly chose Wan Farid
    2. Najib cowardly agreed with Pak Lah
    3. Wan Farid dumbly followed order and the rest is history.

    Do not place too much hope on PR esp. Anwar, because given a chance they will also squander the nation, eg. the Tennis fiasco and Toyota Camry and so far they have yet to impress me, a non partisan.
    Najib must wake up and act fast or his days are numbered just like Pak Lah.

    p.s: Hee, hee, as expected, I got voted down in MT and thus proves my suspicion that majority of MT readers are blinded by the blinds.

  7. UMNO should have held the elections in December 2008 so that it can get rid of Abdullah and his ilks sooner then having to wait till next March.

    UMNO's hesitation in getting rid of Pak Lah has caused it to lose one seat to PAS as the UMNO candidate in the KT election were handpicked by Abdullah.

    I consider this lose equivalent to Abdullah being thrown a pair of shoes by the Kuala Terengganu constituency and a fitting present for his retirement in March 2009.

    Abdullah is irrelevant, Dr Mahathir is right.

  8. Nothing to do with the candidate.

    It has all to do with the elites from UMNO, MCA, MIC and all their thieving cronies!

    What happened to hard work, vision and simple common sense of the simple man? Oh I forgot, and moving with the times.

    Malaysians are not in a time warp but unfortunately those who lead us are! It is not about race and never was. It was about stupidity and the lack of common sense from the ruling elite of ALL races.

    It is simply their stupidity for thinking that most ordinary Malaysians are still stupid today and will fall for the racial divide crap.

    Can this UMNO goons run a responsible administration? This by-election and many before, reflected they are bankrupt in policies to build a sound govt for the benefit of the rakyat. Throwing tax-payers money like a drunken sailor, in time of world financial crisis, is simply ridiculous and irresponsible...just to win a by- election.

KT's results yes it's a report card on Pak Lah... sadly he got an 'F' but our DPM is doing another ala altantuya to declare his innocence and wash his hands from the defeat that it is not a report card on his leadership. Doesn't UMNO accept collective behavior? Gosh what is install for BolehLand for the chosen one to not share the responsibility and blame for the loss? see www.jonathan66-my.blogspot.com
    Praise God! Praise Allah for all good blessings. KT voters have showed they also think of the bigger issues... Now we like to see BN-UMNO fulfill the millions promised to KT fellow b4 the election. BN thought this buy-election...opps by-election can be won by their arrogance and money throwing about... well it turned out to be a bye-election for them.

    Sikit sikit Mahathir releven la, Badawi yg tak releven la.

    Kalau Barisan Nasional dah kena belasah cukup-cukup, sebabnya sebab formula Barisan Nasional dan UMNO (iaitu parti yang dikepalai dan ditubuhkan oleh Mahathir -- UMNO Baru) sudah tidak relevan dan tidak dimahukan rakyat. Ini diishytiharkan oleh bukan siapa lagi tapi Tengku Razaleigh.

    KT by-election is NOT about Pakatan Rakyat vs BN.

    KT by-elecion is the FINAL confirmatory test for the departure of Abdullah Badawi and that he is no longer needed to head BN.

    The first test was the Permatang Pauh by-election.


    As Wan Farid is the proxy for Badawi, this FINAL confirmatory test is even more credible.

    a) If Rakyat want Badawi to stay on, vote BN.

    b) If Rakyat confirm to reject Badawi, vote for PAS.

    The people of Kuala Terengganu have swallowed the bait; hook,line and sinker, running a race like horses with blinkers.

    The PAS victory means a new supremacy for the Malays is brewing, sidelining UMNO.

    It also points to displeasure with the unrealistic campaign issues.

    Congratulations to PAS, as now you have a bigger mandate to further Islamic causes and suppress DAP with a little bit more bite.

    Now, we need to see how other 'bye elections' will fare, especially at Sabah and Sarawak.

    For UMNO and BN to return to glory, they need to reinvent the wheel and refrain from using history ho historical facts because the new voters consider the past irrelevant.

    The new voters want more money in their pockets to get food on the table. Simple as that.

    Let's look at this angel of the KT by-election.


    2009 PAS obtained 32,883 votes
    2008 PAS obtained 31,934 votes



    Despite the euphoria created by Pakatan, it has only created additional 949 new votes only.

    Considering also the suppport by all kinds of smear campaign by pro Pakatan bloggers led by RPK, Harris, Zorro, Susan lone, etc


    Is this the sign of Pakatan limited and diminishing support to Pakatan led by Anwar?

    The Chinese voters remain with BN is interesting, is this confrim that they don't trust Anwar because all the recent issue he is involved or avoided to answer the Chinese?


    And despite the usual allegation of phantom voters, Pakatan wins, now what Pakatan got to say? Silence as usual?

    The current BN chairman is very irrelevant to our country needs. Making him the worst PM Malaysia ever had.
    He is very short sighted and self centered when IJN issue and Labu air port appear before he leaving the office. People know very well who are behind the moves. He actually does not have the minimum criteria and quality for being the PM

    The former PM, TUN still very much relevant to the people and this country needs. GOD bless you.

    Permisi bung Roky. Asia Sentinel blogger Jed Yoon has the following observation about Chinese voters.

    Very interesting. Chinese in KT mostly businessmen and traders -- they look up to MCA and BN to see them through the economic crisis that will be coming out way. They remember 1997 and 1998 when Anwar Ibrahim almost killed their businesses before Mahadey stepped in with his miracles.

    MoF Najib take note: it's the Economy! The welfare of BN depends on how you deal with the economy. Efverything else is secondary because once there's enough food on the table, people see better and think more soberly.

    Here's Jade's take:

    18JanP36 Kuala Terengganu By-election: Chinese Votes With Barisan, SHOCK!

    It defies logic. But it is so according to Nobisha and The Star.

    With that type of DAP campaigning and they stayed with Barisan?

    This can mean a few things, in my humble opinion:

    1. Hadi Awang as MB really pissed them off like in the temple issue

    2. DAP has no presence, never work there.

    3. MCA has been hardworking….and berjasa…..

    Why did the Chinese votes swing back to Barisan when they voted PAS for parliament in March 8?

    Low voter turnout has anything to do with it?

    MCA shouldn’t be too smug…….

    Dato Scribe has made a sincere and good analysis of the KT bye election result.

    Most people saw this coming especially after pematang pauh, the ways UMNO leaders conduct their campaign for the coming party election and the conduct of the government towards the suffering of the people after the fuel hike.

    "Dok rok cetong" - that the right word to describe UMNO and the government.

    UMNO need to do major overhaul if it wants to stay relevant. It may mean expired leaders, incapble leaders ( like ali rustam etc), tainted leaders need to be thrown out completely.If these leaders still rule....sorry lah, takde harapan lagi.

    Better still revive the old UMNO - tools to do it is still in place.

    As for TDM - he is still irrelevant. Perangai UMNO yang ada hari ini adalah hasil tangan dia sendiri. He is responsible for the predicament UMNO is in now. Even if he did not resign then and still lead the party, the same malaise of UMNO today will still happened.

    Jump baby jump!

    On Jan 17, we observed another failure hitting right on the face of Najib, our DPM. This was the third political tsunami in a year. What can I say, the unwelcome Barisan National is sinking like Titanic into South China Sea.

    Last night, we heard the voices and saw the power of the Rakyat. We saw how majority of Kuala Terengganu voters joined the call for change from the rest of Malaysians. And yes, it is a change that happens from the bottom up, not from the top down.

    Last night, we saw again, how Najib refused to acknowledge the fact of his poor leadership and his poor popularity among the citizens. We saw how his monetary actions had again failed to fool the voters in the second by-election.

    Last night’s result showed that KT citizens do not want to inherent the old dirty politics of Barisan National. What the people want is a real party that not only can bring hope to the nation, but to carry out the changes for a better nation. And we know to make the change happen, BN has to be out of the system!

    We want a nation for all Malaysians. We want equal treatment like every body else. We want to live a “Malaysian dream” just like how people in another corner of the world enjoy the “American dream”.

    As for the other BN leaders, shame on you if you continue to ignore the wish of the citizens. You know nothing can stop the momentum now, people will continue to fight till the day comes.

    My last words for everyone who wants to survive from the coming disaster, “jump baby jump” before it’s too late. You do not know how skillful your pilot is, you might not be as lucky as the survivors of the plane crash into Hudson River. You know what I mean.

  57. So what's new with the thick faced BN leaders?

    Mahathir over saw the 1999 debacle, and Badawi the 2008 GE. The loss of faith was the same, just a matter of degree. Mahathir leaving brought BN the 2004 GE, and still you think it is personalities, Mahathir in particular? Might as well call it for the weather.

    The corruption cases during Pak Lah's time cannot hold a candle to what transpired under Mahathir's watch. The likes of Pak Lah, Najib, Mukhriz, Toyo are loud, but they are simply irrelevance in motion. They are going the way of Mahathir. Fact is the corrupt ways of UMNO and BN is living out its final days especially inthese difficult economic situations. Malays call it menjolok mata. Even with the goodies and the shamelessly partisan SPR (what happened to the RO?) they lost big. I believe the Chinese votes if they had come back to KT would have resulted in PR extending their majority.

    It is my perception and hope of the local political landscape that BN will be history come the next GE.

    yang penting pada BN mereka memaparkan pemimpin mereka kununnya berjiwa rakyat , tetapi di sabalik gambar itu BN lupa mereka juga
    memaparkan kedaifan kebanyakan rakyat negeri Terengganu yang sangat sinonim dengan Royalti Minyaknya .
    Telemovie P36 sudah berakhir, BN seperti biasanya akan berbicara tentang menerima kekalahan , suara keramat rakyat ,
    post-mortem dan di masa yang sama masih mengatakan rakyat akan tetap menerima BN dengan cuba mengingatkan rakyat apa
    yang telah BN lakukan sehingga hari ini ,membuat perbandingan yang menunjukkan bahagian yang lebih baik dengan kerajaan yang diterajui PR ,
    tetapi maaf-apa keburukan yang mereka lakukan disebaliknya cukuplah disimpan
    didalam usus perut mereka . Buat rakyat yang merasakan BN akan cuba mendengar suara keramat akhirnya hanya mengharap ,
    dan seperti biasa selepas beberapa ketika mereka akan tetap dengan keangkuhan & kesombongan mereka melacurkan pembangunan
    untuk rakyat kununnya- demi isi perut keluarga , menantu , rakan & Assoc.
    Pakatan Rakyat memberi mesej sangat jelas kepada BN , pakatan mereka mungkin boleh dicuit dengan pelbagai isu- hudud misalnya
    yang dimula KJ ketika berdebat dgn Husam , tetapi dengan mudahnya dipatah oleh PR , DAP melalui Karpal jujur mengakui mereka memang
    tidak bersetuju dengan hudud , BN yang sudah mula tersenyum menjangka PR akan retak akhirnya tenggelam sendiri dengan isu itu,
    DAP menerusi Lim Guan Eng & pemimpin lainnya kental membantu PAS tanpa sebarang masalah nyatanya kejujuran DAP di dalam isu ini menutup
    mulut pengkritik PR , yang akan tetap bersuara org UMNO yang baragama Islam itu sendiri .
    P36 ini juga menunjukan mereka cukup matang berpolitik ,benar mereka punyai perbedaan pendapat kerna jika
    mereka punya pendapat semuanya sama tentu sahaja tidak wujud lagi PKR, DAP & PAS lagi. Mereka juga bijak menjaga hubungan
    BN juga melalui komponennya punya pendapat berbeda, apa jadi pada suara MCA yang mahukan konsesi lebuhraya disemak semula ,
    apa kata orang UMNO, apa kata Samy Vellu & Co. , ini kali kedua MCA bersuara tentang isu ini ,
    pertama kalinya mudah ditangani UMNO berdiam diri sahaja- kita tidak boleh berprsangka buruk dengan UMNO tentang ini kerana
    Kroni UMNO tidak terlibat di dalam konsesi UMNO ini - percayalah :), UMNO jika terus merasakan dialah tuan yang tidak boleh dicuit didalam BN,
    percayalah BN ini dalamannya yang kurang dipapar kan lebih rapuh dari PR yang dalamannya memang selalu dipaparkan.
    Pakatan Rakyat perlu bekerja bukan sahaja lebih kuat malah memberi cerminan apa visi mereka untuk menukar kerajaan semasa ,
    ketelusan dan kesamarataan yang konsisten tanpa ada perlu pegangan kerajaan sekarang
    "kalau orang lain di posisi ini mereka akan melakukan perkara yang sama" buang segala unsur di dalam kerajaan BN yang jijik disebut tetapi
    hanya menjadi bahan gurauan kalangan BN perkataan seperti korupsi , kronisme dan lain -lainnya yang sinonim dengan BN ini.
    Skrip pilihanraya akan lebih kurang sama pada piliharaya akan datang tetapi apa yang perlu ditakuti BN kala ini bukan pengundi muda sebenarnya ,
    tetapi pengundi yang selama ini memangkah mereka kerana "kerajaan sekarang dah ok , asal dapat makan cukup ,
    pemimpin buat apa itu peluang mereka kerana mereka disitu" pengundi yang di dalam kalangan ini sudah mula memahami salah
    laku pemimpin BN boleh ditegur malah mereka mengetahui negara ini boleh memiliki pemimpin yang
    lebih jujur dalam mentadbir negara yang tercinta ini.Untuk BN jika mahu terus mahu memerah hasil kekayaan Malaysia ,
    korbankan semua barisan yang ada kaitan dengan kebencian rakyat ini, tetapi jika di buang takutnya tiada langsung barisan
    kepimpinan yang ada sekarang - kalau masih mahu berkuasa lagi.

  61. Just a question bro, if Najib is in line to take the PM Post he surely needs the accent or approval of Yang DiPertuan Agong right?? Will Tuanku Mizan ever endorse his appointment as PM??? Can you do a write up on this? Would be interesting to get your point of view.

  63. i think Umno did not do what it's supposed to do to ensure its victory in KT.

    many greedy warlords there.

    don't be too quick to blame Najib. He isn't the PM yet and Wan Farid as we all know, was Pak Lah's choice -- against much opposition.

    people, of course, would see it as a vote against Umno and the BN. not really. A total of 32,883 people voted for Pas and 30,252 for Umno. A 2,000 margin is close but not too close.

    i'd have to agree that the failure on Umno's part was putting the wrong candidate. In KT, it matters who you put there.

    well, Umno can help Anwar Ibrahim get to Parliament real fast. deny its own decline, and put the wrong people as canidates in future by-elections.

    Umno/BN has to pray hard that their remaining wakil rakyat are in great shape and the best of health.

    You need to remember one thing bat08: in 2004, AAB's first General Election, the BN won by an unprecendented margin. The coalition won over 90 per cent of the seats in Parliament. They had way more than the two-thirds majority in Parliament. The people believed in AAB, even those who supported the Opposition. "Work with me not for me". His promise to wipe out corruption.

    You remember?

    Dr Mahathir chose the right successor, bro. For the BN, AAB brought it the greatest GE victory. For Malaysians in general, he brought them hope that finally someone will unite the people. Those who hated Mahathir were happy; the tyrant was finally quietly retiring.

    But after the GE, AAB went over to the dark side. His people got greedy. They became very arrogant. They turned their backs against the people.

    And then Kalimullah Masheerul Hassan became so big-headed he thought he could take on Mahathir.

    The rest, bro, is history ...

    Tun chose Pak Lah because he was an ineffective leader. He had no real support base within the grassroots, and many thought in terms of support Najib would have been the choice given his level of support. But funnily enough, Tun chose Pak Lah as his successor and announced Najib as the TPM as well when it should have been Pak Lah's prerog. All three of them had baggage like you won't believe, nothing has changed.

    Tun had to step down or risk everything. Ah, yes he indulged in enough midnight deals to make your head spin (not yours Rocky?) before he stepped down. Some Melayu mudah lupa, and Tun knows them well it seems. Most Malays I know remember this period well; it was when Malays lost "face" to all our Chinese and Indian friends through Tun's shenanigans in the Anwar trials.

    Pak Lah won it because it was still his honeymoon period, and the Malaysians, being a forgiving lot, decided he deserved a chance. The 2008 put him in his place as he was judged on his own steam. Tun's choice was what I thought he was in 2004, a corrupt and weak non-leader. The only thing in common he shared with Tun was the corrupt part.

    I believe the 2008 GE result would have been replicated in 2004 if Mahathir had stayed on; simply because whatever Tun is accusing Pak lah now, he was indulging in it then. Maybe it's just me. Pak Lah just delayed the inevitable. UMNO has became no more relevant since then.

    But Tun is also an expert in practising double standards, isn't he? (See? no to Zonism but yes to his self-serving brand of Ketuanan Melayu/politik wang)

    No to royalty but yes to Wang Ehsan? It seems "oil royalty has returned" whatever that means because the UMNO lot has been calling it wang ehsan all this while.

    How he complained about not getting press coverage when he all but shut out dissenting views in the MSM through his cronies like Kadir Jasin?

    But surely we would do well to remember all this before taking any more prescriptions of our ills by him.

    BN's defeat clearly reflects the peoples' vote of no confidence in Najib and BN, NOT Badawi.

    Don't, like Dr.M, put your silly spin on it. Badawai did not figure in the minds of voters. They knew he was on the way out and was not relevant.

    They have clearly shown there's no future with BN's and Najib's dishing out taxpayers' money as though its's going out of fashion. It;s wasy to give out money which is not yours!!

Its about the people and whether this country can get back on track towards greatness. Don't be loyal to any party or person. Be loyal to the people and this country.

    NAJIB AFTER BN'S LOSS. Read below the article what Najib would have said if PAS had lost:

    It’s only a minor setback, says Najib


    KUALA TERENGGANU: Barisan Nasional’s loss in the by-election is only a setback and has no impact on the national political landscape, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

    The Barisan number two said the coalition would not be disheartened and would embark immediately on measures to win back the confidence of the people.

    “We will seriously take note of the outcome of the result,” the Deputy Prime Minister told reporters after the result was announced yesterday.

    Najib said Barisan would enhance its image as part of its move to change its strategy.

    “We will nevertheless accept the decision of the people of Kuala Terengganu,” he said.

    He said the coalition was still relevant and was confident of regaining the support of the people very quickly.

    Najib felt the mood of the people would be different in the next general election.

    “I believe the people will return to Barisan’s fold. We will take immediate measures to ensure the support of the people for the coalition,” he added.

    Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh, who was also at the press conference, said he would accept the people’s decision.


    If PAS had lost:

    MAJOR SETBACK FOR PAKATAN, SAYS NAJIB

    KUALA TERENGGANU: pALATAN rAKYAT'S loss in the by-election is a major setback for the opposition allliance and has a major impact on the national political landscape, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

    The Barisan number two said the opposition alliance should take the loss as a clear rejection of the opposition tactics.

    "They should seriously take note of the outcome of the result and realise that they are not relevant anymore,” the Deputy Prime Minister told reporters after the result was announced yesterday.


    He said Pakatan was not relevant and was confident that it had lost the support of the people.

    Najib felt the mood of the people would be the same in the next general election.

    "I believe the people are returning to the Barisan’s fold,” he added.

    Look at BN symbol, the dacing, it no more relevant in the metrics word anymore. Even Barisan Nasional doesnt sound good. UMNO should clean the party form the likes of KJ, Ezam, Nazri etc. Then BN leaders should sit and come out with a referendum for the next generations interest. At leas the young generation are aware what in store for them.Lastly change your symbol and get rid of the 'Barisan Nasional' name. look for other that is more meaningfull.

Go ahead blame pak lah, the chinese, the indians, the absence of phantom voters for the loss. Guess that's what you get when your party consists of brown-nosed idiots.

    Mahathir bukan saja irrelevant -- Mahathir adalah satu bahaya kepada kemakmuran negara. Dialah pemecah belah rakyat (pentadbirannya style pecah dan perintah). Dan korupsi berleluasa UMNO bermula bila lagi kalau bukan zaman Mahathir?

    Nah, baca ni kat themalaysianinsider.com:


    Dr M cause of Umno's destruction, says Hindraf

    KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 - Attempting to give him a taste of his own medicine, the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) has claimed former president Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed to be the cause of Umno's current crisis.

    The former prime minister has spent much of the past few years criticising his self-appointed successor Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, culminating in acid attacks for causing the Umno-dominated Barisan Nasional's (BN) setback in last year's general election.

    Today, Hindraf chairman P Waytha Moorthy said that it was in fact Dr Mahathir who was the "architect" of "corruption, nepotism, prejudice and cronyism" to Umno.

    Welcoming Pakatan Rakyat (PR)'s by-election victory in Kuala Terengganu as a sign that the public is disgusted with Umno, he said that the public has lost any faith in finding honest politicians within BN.

    "With Mahathirism's tutelage, the whole Barisan National clan is out of touch with the reality and the needs of the public for governance that is based on equality and fairness for all Malaysians," Waytha said in a statement to the press.

    He added that Dr Mahathir's leadership of Umno and BN saw it fail to serve competently and the governing coalition now lives on "past glories" in "blatant arrogance and ignorance" of the will of the people.

    "The absence of these elements has prompted the will of change from the public to restore integrity in our basic institutions," he continued.

    Waytha said that unless BN faces the reality and listens to the people on issues like abolition of the Internal Security Act and equality in socio-development, "it will be digging its own grave."

    "Listening to Mahathir will only speed up the process."
