Dear People of Perak….

 1 year ago was the drive through Kuala Kangsar, Taiping, Bukit Gantang… even Kamunting… beautiful, if minus that ISA detention center!

Last Sunday, delCapo and some fellow anak bangsa Malaysia drove through parts of beautiful Perak again…this time Beruas, Ayer Tawar, Sitiawan, Lumut, Manjung, Teluk Intan etc..  met some nice people, drank some nice coffee and enjoyed some great scenes… such a great state with great people deserve more than the current situation politics has brought.

The day before, at the SABM Roadshow forum in Ipoh… in front of a 100+ local attendees, delCapo added 2 cents worth among the speakers:

“Happy “Black” Anniversary, Perak… one year ago I was here.. and the few more times in front of the State Assembly, including witnessing the Pokok Democracy day.

I was here with many friends… we faced the FRU.. some were arrested.

Why?

I am not a Perakian .. I was born in Johor, grew up in Kedah.. then in Singapore, then Australia..
Familiar story?

I could have stayed overseas but I decided to come back.

Why?

I love this country and my fellow Malaysians.
So I came back and I’m staying.. to try and make a difference..

I’ve faced FRU, water canon, tear gas..

Why? I like pain?

I feel so much for Perak!
This was one of birth places of Merdeka..
Now if we do not fix this.. Perak could be the start of death of democracy in Malaysia.

We are not opposition supporters.. We are the rakyat.. People’s Power..
Rakyat jadi hakim!

Let’s fight to win Perak back for the People of Perak.

Let’s fight and win back our country back for the people… together.

VOTE!
Send this and all the messages back you hear today to your family and friends.

At this point we do not know what is going to happen for Perak..

• The federal court decision on MB vs MB – Nizar or Zambry?… Zorro has his thoughts… Anil’s blog will be covering “live”… delCapo will be twiterring from Federal court.
• The increasing possibilities of (finally) calling for fresh State Elections – both Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional machineries have started moving – when?
• How ugly and expensive will the campaigns be this time around? – will it be so ugly that a state of emergency be called to PREVENT the elections from taking place??
• How much will politics rear their ugly heads and overshadow the most basic – Democracy and People’s power to choose who runs the state.

delCapo cannot tell you what will happen in those 4 areas, Perak… but YOU, my Perakian brothers and sisters, can make sure of a few things.

• DENOUCE the racial, religion, money politics that will be coming your way…
• DENY the propaganda to create any violence that may give “them” an excuse to call for a state of emergency.
• Let the politicians do their politics… BUT Democracy must prevail -   PEOPLE POWER vote and choose the government of the state.

3 simple things… easier said than done…. but CAN BE DONE!

Not just for the sake of your pocket, your own family, your own kampung, your own town, your own city, your own state…. but in the name of true Democracy!!

Perak was one of the BIRTHPLACEs of Merdeka and democracy of Malaysia… it is now the grave since 1 year ago.

Let Perak be the REBIRTH of true democracy in Malaysia. Perak by Perakians, NOT politicians!!!

May the force be with you, People of Perak… tomorrow and in weeks/months ahead.

Perak Crisis – Snap Polls loom?

Rumours are flying…

1 year annivesary of Black Perak approaches..

Ong Tee Keat and Zambry annouces agreement to swap Kuala Sepetang (Port Weld) KTM land so the residents don’t have to move!

Talk about timing and political move… Port Weld was where BN lost their pants during the Bukit Gantang by-elections that voted Nizar into parliament… can BN be more obvious!?!?!?!

ahahaha…. I love the people of Port Weld… good for them (if no political u-turn from this lip service)… Port Weld residents are not stupid too… they will STILL kick BN’s ass when the state polls happen, i’m sure.

Watch out for more goodies in coming days….

counter: Arrests (167)

New Arrests on 26 May 09 in Ipoh: 19 + 2, including speaker Sivakumar, MPs, Aduns, passers-by, 2 fellas walking to DAP office in the evening to attend indoor vigil and event company workers….

 Home Minister & PDRM…. your guys cannot even give (or cannot be bothered to give) good reasons for the arrests anymore…. just tangkap, tangkap, tangCrap…

Once again – It is NOT working!!! stop wasting the Rakyat’s money!!!

they wanna ban it – we spread it more!!!

Malaysiakini reports that Media Prima, the “UMNO” mainstream media machine which controls TV3, NTV7, TV8 and TV9 has banned certain footages of inside the 7May09 Perak Assembly.

Well… fuck you, Media Prima… the people deserves the truth.

delCapo will leave these ON here as long as I please and hope other blogs and media will do so too.

060409 – 1.45am

delCapo & the Barisan Rakyat bloggers team reached it’s full force today…. Famous names like Haris, Zorro, Antares, Whisperer, Shanghai Fish, ArifAbdull + 20 others HQ-ed in Taiping working on Bukit Gantang & Bukit Selambau, not forgetting Anil Netto, RPK on MT and the Perak’s Bloggers Network. Batang Ai is well covered by the Sarawak brothers like The Broken Shield, DayaNation, Dayak Baru, Audi61, Hornbill Unleashed and Letter from Batang Ai

Apologies for those who are active but delCapo have missed out.

**KUDOS to ALL** Blogsphere has played an ever important part of elections in Malaysia. Don’t take my word for it…. ask Jabu! …hahahahahaha!!!!

ok seriously…. here’s delCapo’s analysis of the likely results.

Considering all “normal” factors, including the “normal” dirty, intimidation & money politics of BN

Pakatan Rakyat 3 : 0 BN

N25 Bukit Selambau –

• I believe Makkal Sakthi has finally united and will rally behind PKR, or should I say, against MIC/BN.
• Last day of work – make sure voters recognise & cross ONLY the right box on the A4 ballot paper of 15 names – PKR.
• MUST push all the way to a LARGE winning margin & bury MIC!!! MAKKAL SAKTHI !!!!!
• Assuming a likely 10-15% votes to the un-Independents & spolit votes, PKR/Pakatan Rakyat will win it for the Kedah rakyat!
• Taking into considerations BN’s usual “hantu voters”
• PKR Manikumar wins by 2,288 votes.

N29 Batang Ai

• Jawah is determined to lead the rise of the Warrior’s Spirit and lead Batang Ai to make Sarawak history AGAIN! He has tiredlessly gone deep into the sometimes inaccessible long houses and that’s where it matters.
• The question is whether the residents of many long houses will defy their Tuai Rumah & vote with courage & heart.
• BN’s dirty tricks has included votes buying, personal attacks on Jawah, “man on man” police intimidation at long houses, kidnap of Tuai Rumah….
• An annoucement by SPR that 14 ballot boxes to be transported by air will NOT be accompanied by observers like Mafrel reps or either party members…. 3,312 votes at stake in these 14 boxes (out of 8000!!!)… hmmmmmm
• Jawah & PKR will still pull it off…. 516 votes margin.

P59 Bukit Gantang

• delCapo must say this to Bukit Gantang. I’ve only known & followed DS Nizar since the Perak constitutional crisis. But I’ve concluded that this is a special man…. God sent… good heart, works hard, charismatic, moderate but tremendous people’s skills with great leadership qualities- a true Rakyat’s man of national leader quality.
• How can Bukit Gantang people NOT see this? NOT support him? NOT love him??
• How can Bukit Gantang voters be willing to even think about voting for those assholes at BN against this man??
• How can Bukit Gantang NOT want him as their Wakil Rakyat???? Espicially his own people in the heart of kampongs!?!??!!
• On “normal” BN tactics of extra millions $$ of our money spent, vote buying, IC kidnapping,overdrive smearing campaigns, playing the ridiculous “treason” tune, 6000 police & FRU personnel in town etc… etc… Nizar’s popularity (vote-wise) among Malay voters are at all time low of 40%
• delCapo believes Nizar still has what it takes… too close to call, multiple recounts possible…. winning by a 1,188 votes.

BUT, there’s no way BN is going to let a 3-0 scoreline happen…. & they will MOST LIKELY to  carry out the Mother of all CHEATS on Bukit Gantang.

There’s ain’t 6,000 police in town for nothing…. if u get my drift…

The key for ALL 3 seats (lessons from past By Elections) -

1. COME OUT & VOTE… high voters turnout = less chance of cheating by BN.
   
2. DO NOT come alone…. bring a friend/family/neighbour, especially one who is lazy/sick & may not come out… Undi bersama sama.
3. VOTE early!! To avoid traffic jam (walk, cycle or motorbike if u can) & avoid dirty tricks of roadblocks to deter voters.

One last day & 3 battles to be won, Anak Bangsa Malaysia….. lets make it count!!

!!!!!!BURY BN!!!!!!

P59 Bkt Gantang – Come Home to Vote !!! BN giving $$$ *pix added*

Giving Rakyat's Money Back?? TAKE!!!

Hey Anak Bkt Gantang working/living OUTSIDE !!

Come home to Vote!!!!

Barisan Nasional giving out $$$….. last heard $100 per person (Simpang Area)…. no check IC also!!!

Don’t believe delCapo…. call your family / friends back in Kampung & ask them….

Quotes:

” I just got back from Penang to “cheng beng”….. they give me $100… i say man…not bad… cover petrol & toll” - “Ah Cheong”

Q:” Kenapa dia orang dapat, saya takda???”…. A: “Belum lagi, towkay… besok mari mesti ada” - exchange between a local coffee shop operator & a well-dresses gentlemen.

“Dia bagi… gua ambik lah… besok call anak balik, bawah girlfriend dia sekali… tak check IC pun mah…” - auntie at Simpang market

“Belum dapat… tapi kalau dapat pun… simpan juga… Undi? itu ikut hati” – abang “Dol”, random man in Sungei Tinggi

Delcapo would like to share not just the above real-life quotes, but one we learnt from the Kuala Terrenganu by-election:

“IF I take $$ given by BN & vote BN… it’s bribery, CURRUPTION!!!…. if I take the $$$ & NOT vote BN.. it’s ok – only DONATION!!!

there u go…. COME HOME &  VOTE!!!!
