YOURSAY ‘What more can shock us? We are already numb with shock.’
Zahid: Get ready for shocker in Pmtg Pauh
CQ Muar: Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is applying psychological strategy hoping to change the mindset and mentality of voters in Permatang Pauh.
This time round, the Umno/BN-led government will throw in everything they have - machinery, manpower, goodies, cash handouts and above all, millions at the expense of taxpayers.
In any case, Zahid's announcements are empty war cries which voters will not easily fall for. Zahid, don't boast as usual. Bring it on.
Sodo-Mee: Even if Pakatan Rakyat were to put a cow to stand at Permatang Pauh, they will still win the seat with a landslide margin.
Zahid must be dreaming or he could be hallucinating to even think that their candidate can even go as close as to win 20 percent of the votes.
The voters will not forget all the crimes that Umno had committed in order to win GE13, the least of which is gerrymandering , to stay in power although they only won 47 percent of the popular vote.
NewMalaysia: I'm not sure which Malaysian would still want to vote for BN after the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
I hope all the voters in Permatang Pauh will not hesitate to return a shocking surprise to BN by making their candidate's deposit forfeited.
Lamps: Indeed, after GST and issues surrounding 1MDB, police abuse, Altantuya Shaariibuu's murder and former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Umno still thinks the rakyat will vote them.
This government is truly out of touch. Umno is in for a shocker in Permatang Pauh.
Victor Johan: Umno has been giving the rakyat continuous 'shocks' ever since they came into power, so much so that the rakyat have become immune to Umno's lies and deception.
Now for Permatang Pauh, it will be another 'buy-election'.
Gunnerrun: The only surprise would be if the country is rid of corrupt leaders. Nothing is shocking to us anymore.
You are talking about a country that lost two airplanes in the same year, a guy who can keep sperm in pristine condition in his rectum for days, leaders claiming we are top in everything including education, corruption-free rankings...
Anonymous #559621516: What more shock do we need?
We are already shell-shocked from the shrinking ringgit, GST, rising prices, increasing crime and accidents, while parliamentarians want to increase their pay by 40 percent.
What more can shock us? We are already numb with shock.
Hmmmmmmmm: The PM advised us not to believe everything that we read online. So I believe what has just been reported here are merely lies.
Dalvik: Candidate game shocker - someone who wears only a Casio watch?
Onlooker: Please could someone check the number of voters on the Permatang Pauh electoral rolls. Has there been a big increase there recently?
This particularly important as the Special Affairs Department (Jasa) is pretty much the only registered agents. Has it been announced what is the date of the electoral rolls to be used?
Dont Just Talk: For Zahid to find an unblemished and scandal-free candidate from Umno Baru will be an uphill task, and the shocker in the Permatang Pauh candidate must be one of the two rejected ‘frogs’ or the Umno Baru lawyer who turned prosecutor.
Fair Play: The only game-changer that I can think of is this - the home minister volunteers to take on PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to bury the ghost of Anwar Ibrahim for good.
Anonymous #96844426: Will they field PM wife’s Rosmah Mansor?
Malaysia Ku: Or could it be singer Siti Nurhaliza?
'Hope Zahid's shocker not another sex video'
Not Confused: Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli is just speculating on another sex video based on the past experience with the nauseating publication of such videos by BN cronies, all purporting to show various opposition leaders, and none of which have been verified or authenticated in any way.
They have been designed to cast the opposition in a bad light. Mindless BN cronies, no doubt paid well for their efforts, can only hope to win any election by such disgusting tactics. But what else can they do?
They have no idea about policy or have proposals to solving the blights on Malaysia, both locally and internationally.
Not Confused: Of course, the "shocking" video will be sex-related in some way - both grainy and poorly produced.
Let’s face it, this, together with showering the local voters with cash, cooking oil and tins of Milo, is the only way they can possibly win any election.
