BN candidate for by-election announced
Post on Aug.14, 2008
it is seberang jaya assemblyman, arif shah omar shah (picture left), as i came across in malaysiakini. the seberang jaya state constituency is one of three state seats under permatang pauh. the other two are permatang pasir and penanti, which are currently held PAS and PKR respectively.
Arif Shah is a two-term state representative. He can speak fluent Mandarin, an advantage obviously seen by the BN as a move to swing back the Chinese voters back to it.
whoa! trying to attract chinese voters i see. however, it is not what the man able to speak but what the man is that will attract voters, all races included.
As for the candidate himself, Arif Shah said that he was confident of wrestling the seat away from PKR. He however added that he might not be able to do so with an overwhelming majority.
"Anwar may be good in one thing but not everything. People need a service-oriented MP," he added.
looks like arif shah is confident he will win! well, good luck to him,

hey lucia,
long time no see
51 merdeka coming hor. you know what’s behind jalur gemilang and negaraku ar? if i tell you hor, jalur gemilang has no room for ketuanan melayu but got plenty of room for ketuanan rakyat, you believe or not? the dark blue in jalur gemilang represents perpaduan! that’s MALAYSIAN UNITY! never say anything about malay unity!
hahahahaha
i stumbled on this by chance when my son asked me to help him in his assignment on merdeka. now i also got a list of all the malaysian flags since time immemorial. but if you need to laugh, when we were going through the meaning of everything in jalur gemilang, my naughty daughter chipped in and said that the alternating red and white stripes signify badawi’s policy of red-white-red-white-red-white or otherwise flip-flop-flip-flop
hahahahaha
some of the materials i helped searched for my son’s project, i put in a newly started blog terangbulannegaraku.blogspot.com
