(Thread) July 23 - Mummy always had a knack for wedding decor.
Her creativity and deft hands had touched many a relative's pelamin, halls, and wedding favours.
She had worked hard to fill the world with joy and beauty
My latest: #Malaysia's ex #PKR MP @rafiziRafizi has gravitas. His #Bersama party could take votes away from #PKR in urban seats. But PM Anwar Ibrahim's
biggest challenge comes from the opposition Islamist #PAS party

Unfortunately @FabriRahman - the data suggests that your statement is pure rhetoric, and does not reflect DAP's actual operating method.
Here's the data, focusing on the GE-14 to GE-15 transition:
DAP won 42 seats in GE-14.
What happened to these 42 seats in GE-15?
• All 42 were recontested by DAP (no 'donation' to other parties)
• 26 were contested by the winner.
• 16 were contested by a person other than the winner.
Let's zoom into those 16 seats where the DAP candidate changed:
• 8 seats were won by a Chinese candidate in GE-14, and then contested by another Chinese candidate in GE-15.
• 1 was won by an Indian candidate, contested by another Indian candidate (Charles Santiago --> Ganabitirau in Klang).
• 4 seats were won by Chinese, recontested by non-Chinese.
• 3 seats were won by non-Chinese, recontested by Chinese.
So the 'net loss' of Chinese candidates is actually just 1 overall.
And if you zoom into those 4 seats, they are:
• Bukit Bendara (Hon Wai --> Syerleena, Hon Wai moved back to being ADUN)
• Bangi (Kian Ming --> Syahredzan, Kian Ming voluntarily stepped back and supported Syah)
• Damansara (Tony Pua --> Gobind, Tony voluntarily stepped back)
• Bentong (Wong Tack --> Young Syefura)
This does not at all paint the picture of a widespread conspiracy like you are claiming.
And remember, we also have 3 seats where it went in reverse:
• Puchong (Gobind --> YBY, Gobind went to Damansara replacing Tony Pua)
• Batu Kawan (Kasthuri Patto --> Chow Kon Yeow, losing the only female Indian MP)
• Raub (Tengku Zulpuri --> Chow Yu Hui)
Do with this data what you will. To me, it's a clear repudiation of your sentiment, but ymmv.
“Bersama's first challenge is differentiation. It is not enough to merely inherit today’s frustrated voters, particularly those disillusioned with the PKR leadership. Political memory is shorter than we think.”

Fun fact 60.3% undi di Tambun bukan utk Anwar Ibrahim. PMX dapat 39.7% undi je tp psl tu paling byk undi maka menang.
Kalau kita ada sistem pilihanraya mcm alternative vote kemungkinan besar PMX kalah
Ni kelemahan/kelebihan sistem First past the post
Aku tak fikir Anwar dulu bertanding Tambun sebab kerusi senang menang. Lawannya ketika itu bekas MB Perak, penyandang MP Tambun dan Timb Presiden Bersatu.
Tambun kerusi tradisi BN sebelum 2018.
Faizal Azumu perli Anwar "ayor bukan ayaq" kerana orang luar masa tu.
Unsurprisingly, there are racists out there being racist/sexist towards me, calling me ‘smelly, hobo, chopped, feminazi’ etc
But now there is also a group of people who mistaken me as Malay, and with that comes the accusation of being a race traitor?!
Spooky stuff! 🫣
@meinmokhtar Jangan la cakap malas nak sambung. Kata kalau ada peluang nak sambung tapi sekarang nak bantu family kerana itu Priority skrg. Orang tanya pasal nak tau kau ni jenis cepat give/malas up ke or ada usaha
The plot thickens.
The (ex?) Sg Ujong Undang's aide told Mkini they uncovered corruption involving a nobleman, who then moved to unseat the Undang.
Police reports lodged, including by Loke's aide (🤔)
The nobleman denies it, said cops cleared him.

Jiran saya ada tokong besar kat corner porch dia. Sebelah kami, sampai org Grab kdg2 ingat salah rumah sbb nama Melayu lol
Dia sembahyang 2x sehari. Mmg ada bau asap masuk rumah. Tapi kejap je. Tutup la pintu/tingkap.
Setakat ni ok je alhamdulillah & Auntie ni mmg sgt baik.
Brilliant. The man is a walking legend on the state's customary laws.
The fact that he has been around since Rembow was a 'state' makes him even more authoritative
Kudos to @malaysiakini for having the most comprehensive, detailed study into the fascinating Negri Sembilan ruler crisis, simply by doing the journalistic thing of interviewing the country's most prominent and loquacious scholar of Negri customs, Rais Yatim.
Confused by what's going on in Negeri Sembilan?
We got you covered.
tldr: Four chieftains 'sacked' the raja, after one of them kena sack. MB kata not valid, but state law indicates otherwise.
