The 7th By-election

The state assemblyman of Menek Urai, Kelantan, passed away at Hospital Raja Zainal, Kota Bharu early morning today.

Ismail Yaacob,60, who was a PAS member, triumphed in the 308 election by winning a majority of 1352 votes over UMNO representative, Zulkepli Omar.

This would mean the 7th by-election in Malaysia after 308 last year, and it will most probably be held right after Penanti.

This is probably the best chance for Malaysians to convey their discontent towards Barisan Nasional, as the Menek Urai state seat mainly comprises of Malay community,(99.3%). Our deputy PM, Muhyiddin Yasin blamed on the Chinese for voting for the opposition in Bukit Gantang election which had caused BN a disgraceful loss. That's a bright way of wrapping up their own stupidity eh? Let's see if they could win Menek Urai, and if not, I'm waiting to see who are to be blamed this time.

Voice out Malaysians, reject UMNO, reject Barisan Nasional!
