Seems so, no? Penanti has a 70+% of Malay voters. It was BN before 2008. Has UMNO given up so easily or it is employing someone to fight their battle. This would be a first-time in electoral history - outsourcing.
Or has UMNO/BN thrown in the towel. I do not hear a squek from any BN coalition partners. They too dare not contest in Penanti. It would be futile and suicidal for MCA or Gerakan or MIC to contest. They rather fade with the sunset than go out in a blaze of digrace.
Or is it because UMNO is weighed down and hunched under too many encumberances of their own making. Perak is like the proverbial millstone around UMNO's neck. The whole world is laughing over the fact that whoever okayed the takeover from the kitchen, closed his eyes over the fact that two were "diseased" frogs. Normally we throw out the bad apples, in case........and the MACC is still dragging its feet over these two felons.
Instead of taking the bull by the horns, UMNO has come out with some puerile platitudes - "we don't want to play PR;s game"......."waste of money"........."more important to save the economy".....After 50 years, BN has not realised what an (by) election is all about?
I read this somewhere:
“The purpose of electoral politics is to gauge public support and harness that support to make a success of governmental policies. In short, elections are not mere rituals of democracy but a way for the government of the day to find legitimacy.”
Waste of money.......????? cut out the instant noodles, the free nasi bungkus, the girlie shows, the canopies for the police, no freebies like umbrellas for machiks, cut out the billboards, all the election apparachicks. Just hold ceremahs to talk to the electorate. That way you save money to save the economy.
Or, in simple language: surrender, hoist the white flag?
Whatever, the Special Bunch is ready to rock and roll......and this time for Pete and Marina.

bunch of spineless parasitic morons
Najib said to reach where he was now, he did not "take an express bus" but a "normal bus which journeyed 33 years in his political career".

Yes Najib finally arrived in a bus chockful with 33 years of baggages and skeletons. Well said, Najib!
Slowly but surely those close to the pm has been trying to distance themselves from the enormous baggage he is carrying. Even his depth-puty only pops out from behind the curtain every once in awhile with feeble attempts to voice out on certain irrelevant issues concerning the nation. Any PM with a spinal column would have settled the Perak debacle by now. He would have won a lot of people over had he handed back the silver state to PR. How could a person who has been active in politics for so many years fail to understand or apply a simple solution such as this? It's time he get his brains into the head on his shoulder from bewteen his thigh.
Dear Mr. Bernard Khoo a.k.a. Uncle Zorro,

Your support is very much appreciated. Together we unite for this cause.
Thank you.
*p/s : Others are welcome to do the same. Thanks Malaysians.
Do this for RPK (Pete) too.
From their statements, which really are just lame excuses for not contesting because they know they will be whipped mercilessly they are still taking us for fools. Like you say here, cut out all the freebies and the maggi mees and millions will be saved. They know that dishing out millions will not buy them votes anymore otherwise it's business as usual. When did spending the rakyat's money flippantly becomes a concern with them? What a bunch of sore losers.

Hi Uncle Zorro
Sorry to go off topic.

I'm pretty sure..UMNO's play is to reserve its resources for the biggie..FRESH ELECTION IN PERAK soon.
They were afraid of loosing the seat at Penanti as it will fruther hurt their position in coming fresh election.
Anyway..another 7th By-election in Kelantan is up soon. What say UMNO? Bring up the Dead?
ipohHUNK !!!!!!!!
