blatantly.
The man in power gets what he wants and there is nothing much we can do since the institutions which are meant to uphold the law seem impotent.
That the PM had to attend to this by-election personally and openly bribed the electorate with offers of this and that, the victory can only be hollow and without honour. But who cares? In Malaysia money comes first and whoever holds the purse strings calls the shots.
Zaid must be naturally disappointed but hopefully undaunted by this defeat. He appears victorious in the minds of the people. Since he lost by such a narrow margin despite the full focus and force of the government machinery, he could easily sail through at the next general elections.
With this result, those who want change must be more pro-active and speak out where necessary to make known how we feel. The Pakatan leaders need encouragement too. The BN leaders need to know whenever we feel disgusted by their antics. There will come a time when the sheer number of people against BN will make their cheating fruitless. Hopefully, by losing this battle, we can win the war in the general elections.
