We left the hotel promptly at 5:00, Kasee, Lawrence and Vined to the PAS IT Centre, and the rest of us to the Golf Club. Closure of roads (for reasons only known to the authorities) did not allow us to go to our destination. We decided to head back to base and our three guys will be ferried by motobikes to the IT Centre.
I apologise for this long lapse....waiting to link up with our trio....

Sure or not Unker Zorro,
Better get more matches. I guess if your right you will have a big campfire tonite.
Come on PAS!
Hidup rakyat!
Syabas Barisan Rakyat Bloggers. Your candidate is now leading by 1,700+ votes, according to TV1. You have been exemplary again.
Congratulations Sir
The outcome must be very satisfying for you personally.
You deserve to celebrate this win.
But go easy on the Yam Seng.
YgArif
viva PR!
Many2 Many2 thanks the Special Bunch for your mighty efforts.
If PAS confirmed menang, we all have to thank the KT voters for their brave decision. Tsunami coming hard and fast.
malsia1206
congratulations mr khoo on a job well done. best regards/sakmongkol
Brother - thanks for the updates
Congratulations, Barisan Rakyat Bloggers! our hardwork surely helped win the seat for Pakatan Rakyat!
It's a good day. A happy day. Congratulations PAS and Pakatan Rakyat.
And since I have not read of any fraudulent votes except for the bribes - cash or consruction conracts - perhaps I can afford to stretch out a hand and say "thank you" UMNO for the relatively clean elections. And if this is the case, this could be the harbinger of better things to come. It augurs well for Malaysia's journey towards a first world sense of human dignity and integrity. A development of the right value system as against the excessive emphasis of materialism during the Mahathir's era.
Well done all.
There will be a 'BIG FIREWORKS'in BN camp. I suggest that MCA leech and balls-carrier OTK run for cover. He is no blooming good with the Chinese community, he is no f*cking use to UMNO!
Thanks from Aussie land to Rakyat bloggers, for your untiring support given to PR. We are the true believers!
Congrats Uncle Zorro,
The Blue Blitz Bombed the BN to bits!
You'll are indeed worthy winners! Congrats, as to me, I am on the long road back rethinking, restrategizing and smoking continously.
Phew...at least I'm not disappointed.
wandererAUS,
aint no diff who's heading MCA. they are all ball carriers with the their mouths wide open waiting for some crumbs to drop off the UMNO dining table. thats all they care. anything else is incidental.
oh, the same goes with Gerakan and MIC too.
at least Sabahans and Sarwakians taikos dont have to behave like beggars. they just set and eat the meals themselves.
So here's one, up yours, Ezam.
Alibaba
To Khir Toyo,
your race politics no longer relevant in KT - Kuala Terengganu.
Hallelujah! Thank you for the live updates!
Praise the Lord, Praise God, Praise Allah...
And DPM says it's not a report card about him! huh thought it was a report card against BN in this case UMNO ....see. www. jonathan66-my.blogspot.com
Zorro & others,
here's a tribute to the Barisan Rakyat team!

Hi Bernard. I have been following your live coverage on the By-Election. Thank you and those who were with you for feeding us with all the happenings there. I must say that the Barisan Rakyat "team" played a big part in the campaign. PAS should give all of you a big "Thank You!"
Thank you Bernard for all the hard work and commitment! You guys made it happened.
Yeah Thank You! Can't agree more with Daniel that you guys did a fantastic job indeed! Kuala Trengganuites, YOU have rocked them, congratulations!

Tv1 which allocated 1 1/2 hours programme for the buy election coverage last night,cut short it by 1 hour after finding that pas had won, they still belum belajar lagi, bila nak bangun. lebih baik undur lan.
It's a sad day for BN, but at least they can now say that the Phantom voters have shifted to the other side.
For PAS, it brings them one step closer to fulfill the Malay Agenda away from UMNO. It should now champion the Malay cause with more gutso, given the mandate.
A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING.
Zorro, our next stop will be Pensiangan , SABAH.
Jump baby jump!
On Jan 17, we observed another failure hitting right on the face of Najib, our DPM. This was the third political tsunami in a year. What can I say, the unwelcome Barisan National is sinking like Titanic into South China Sea.
Last night, we heard the voices and saw the power of the Rakyat. We saw how majority of Kuala Terengganu voters joined the call for change from the rest of Malaysians. And yes, it is a change that happens from the bottom up, not from the top down.
Last night, we saw again, how Najib refused to acknowledge the fact of his poor leadership and his poor popularity among the citizens. We saw how his monetary actions had again failed to fool the voters in the second by-election.
Last night’s result showed that KT citizens do not want to inherent the old dirty politics of Barisan National. What the people want is a real party that not only can bring hope to the nation, but to carry out the changes for a better nation. And we know to make the change happen, BN has to be out of the system!
We want a nation for all Malaysians. We want equal treatment like every body else. We want to live a “Malaysian dream” just like how people in another corner of the world enjoy the “American dream”.
As for the other BN leaders, shame on you if you continue to ignore the wish of the citizens. You know nothing can stop the momentum now, people will continue to fight till the day comes.
My last words for everyone who wants to survive from the coming disaster, “jump baby jump” before it’s too late. You do not know how skillful your pilot is, you might not be as lucky as the survivors of the plane crash into Hudson River. You know what I mean.
And thank you, especially to everyone who voted for PAS!

i wish u syabas on a job well done.i pray u live a long llfe" to see the country go Hudud !i want that pleasure ! gOd speed !
I have been logging in on and off hoping for some now posts from you ... but tak ada. Hangover from the celebrations ke? Well, you (and RPK and others too) sure deserve a break :) Kudos for all the hard work.
Hi Zorro
I'm too sure if I have got the right person and if not you then maybe you get hold of the right person, say RPK, to do a proper breakdown of the real result and do a correct analysis of the voting trend in KT.
Ong TK and The Sunday Star was doing one type of spin cycle about the result with the Chinese community giving even more votes to BN but it was elsewhere that didn't delivered.
Take care and enjoy.
p/s hope you overnight hangover cured already.
Zimbabwe Watch...
Mrs Mugabe assaults our photographer outside her luxury Hong Kong hotel
Jon Swain and Michael Sheridan – Times Online January 18, 2009
Jon Swain and Michael Sheridan – Times Online January 18, 2009
A Sunday Times photographer has been beaten up and punched repeatedly in the face by the wife of President Robert Mugabe.
Grace Mugabe, 43, known as the First Shopper of Zimbabwe, flew into a rage when she was spotted last week leaving the exclusive Shangri-La hotel in Hong Kong. She has been staying there with her entourage at a cost of £2,000 a day while her country endures poverty, hunger and disease.
Holding a Jimmy Choo-style bag estimated to be worth at least £2,000, and hiding behind Cavalli rhine-stone-framed glasses with a red cashmere shawl over her head, she ordered her bodyguard to attack the photographer, Richard Jones.
While the guard tried to wrestle away Jones’s camera, she joined in the assault.
“The man held him while she hit him again and again in the face with her fists. She was screaming, completely crazy,” said Werner Zapletal, a tourist from Austria who witnessed the incident.
Jones, 42, suffered nine cuts, abrasions and bruises to the face and head caused by the heavy, diamond-encrusted rings Mugabe was wearing, according to a medical report by Dr Raymond Ng, a general practitioner in Hong Kong.
During the assault more burly bodyguards came running from the hotel but were intercepted by security men from a nearby commercial building.
Mugabe and her female companion fled around a corner seeking to hide their faces, only to run straight into a second photographer, Tim O’Rourke. He snapped a few pictures before she flew at him with her fists flying, pulled his hair and tried to smash his camera. She then hurried back to her five-star refuge.
The Hong Kong police, who were called to the scene, detained the bodyguard. He was allowed to go after questioning. The police took a statement from Jones last night.
Officers at the Tsim Sha Tsui police station will study CCTV footage of the incident, which they are treating as “serious” and “political”. A decision on whether to press charges is pending but Mugabe could claim immunity from prosecution.
Jones, who has worked for The Sunday Times for 15 years, said the guard held on to him, trying to grab his camera, as Mugabe approached.
“Out of the corner of my eye I saw her charging towards me in a rage. As soon as she arrived she started trying to get my camera too. I wouldn’t let go. He held me and she just started aiming punches into my face,” he said.
“She was standing there in a mad rage, screaming something at me, and just kept lining up the punches, all into my face. She had some nice jewellery and was aware it would cut me, I’m sure. She looked totally deranged.
“I thought, how can a first lady be doing this? I was in shock more at the situation than the punches.”
Before she embarked on her Far East holiday at the beginning of January, Mugabe withdrew US$92,000 from the central bank in Harare, Zimbabwean sources said. Accompanied by her children, she stayed first at the Malaysian island resort of Langkawi. She then moved on to Singapore where she was joined by her husband for a few days.
There had been speculation in Zimbabwe that the president would cancel his annual holiday in the face of a growing economic and political crisis. The country is beset by a cholera epidemic that has claimed more than 2,100 lives.
Over the past nine months Zimbabwe has been without a legal government. Talks to implement a power-sharing agreement have collapsed and hostility to his rule has intensified. Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, returned for talks yesterday after two months in Botswana.
Annual inflation has soared to more than 231m% and a Z$100 trillion banknote was introduced on Friday. Dozens of activists have been detained, accused of plotting to overthrow the regime.
Nevertheless the Mugabes went ahead with their holiday. While the president stayed on in Singapore until January 11 before flying home, his wife flew to Hong Kong on January 9 and installed herself in the £600-a-night Harbour suite on the 18th floor of the Shangri-La.
There she played hostess to the couple’s daughter, Bona, who studies in the city, and to a stream of relatives and friends. She rarely went out but other members of the party were ferried around in black limousines costing £60 an hour.
Grace Mugabe is more than 40 years younger than her 84-year-old husband. Formerly his secretary and mistress, she finally married him in 1996 after the death of his wife of 30 years, Sally, a Ghanaian intellectual. They have three children, Bona, Robert and Chatunga.
Grace Mugabe has often been blamed for encouraging her husband’s extreme views. Last year she said he would never surrender power.
Since becoming first lady, she has spent a fortune on foreign shopping trips, built a mansion in Harare, dubbed Gracelands, and acquired several formerly white-owned farms. Once, when asked why she spent thousands on expensive Ferragamo shoes while her people starved, she replied: “I have very narrow feet, so I wear only Ferragamo.”
She used to indulge her passion for shopping in the boutiques of Paris, New York and London. But when America and the European Union imposed sanctions on the Mugabes and their cronies they turned to the Far East.
Hours after the fracas on Thursday she left Hong Kong for home, where many call her “Dis Grace” behind her back.
