Having read Wong Chin Huat's article , I feel opposition parties can hold their heads high in spite of their poor performance. The facts and figures, together with the numerous complaints about voters being moved to other constituencies without their consent - and other unfair practices like the controlled media and use of government facilities for political purposes during the campaign period - have shown that the 90 percent BN victory was in name only.

If Azmin Ali, Mohd Ezam Nor and Irene Fernandez were to be given the chance to stand, and if Nurul Izzah had decided to stand as well, their popularity would have made a big difference to Keadilan's performance.

As to PAS' poor performance, Kuala Terengganu's 10,000 missing votes out of a total of 71,000 (majority only 1,933) and a highly unusual turnout of over 90 percent, is suspicious. The ballot papers could have been used in other constituencies. To allay such suspicions, nothing short of an full-scale, open investigation is acceptable.

It was disappointing our PM did no more than brushing aside such irregularities. A more pro-active stand would have been more credible.

To those MPs who have won as a result of manipulation, 'Yang Berbohong' seems more appropriate than Yang Berhormat. I was told of an MP who addressed himself as YB when telephoning someone, after becoming an ex-MP. Yang Berhormat is not for an MP to call himself, but others to address him, and more importantly, it has to be earned.

For a constituency like Putrajaya with only just over 5,000 registered voters, to me, the MP is a minor MP. With no secrecy as to how the majority of civil servants voted, the victory rings hollow.

I hope some of those constituencies with evidence of irregularities will be subject to legal redress after the results have been gazetted.
