SUNGEI REK has always been a traditional stronghold of UMNO. It is understandable. Most of its 200 odd residents are either employed by Risda or work in the Felda scheme. In the last GE, PAS was only able to receive 20 votes.
PAS could never attract a ceremah audience because the residents were afraid to be seen at any PAS ceremah. Tonight was somewhat different. Close to 150 sat thru and listened to the speakers.
PAS went into the enemies lair and spoke through strategically placed loud-speakers for those who did not come out in the open.
PAS's Salehudin Ayob, PKR's Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and candidate Abe Uji captured the audience attention and judging from the regular rejoinders I felt that the message went over quite well. Except for the calon, both Salehudin and Zaid drove home the point of UMNO's avowed boasts of doing everything for the Malays - only certain chosen Malays. Datuk Zaid further challenged UMNO: "If you claim you will do everything for the Malays....give Kelantan its oil money....Kelantan is a malay-majority state.
It was another hour of drive back to Kota Baru after the ceremah and despite not enough support from the Federal Government, I think the people of KB in general and the PAS government in particular has done well for themselves. There are 24/7 outlets like Hayaki and wifi enabled too.
HIDUP PAS
I pray to GOD that changes will take place and we will be able to see it through. Wish you all the best and GOD bless you.
ReplyDeleteHIDUP PAS.
May the message from a former strongman of umno touch the hearts of the masses that attended the ceramah. Let them (sg rek folks)rethink of their blind support and accept the reality that we are all anak Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteThis nation can only move forward when we have harmony and unity in diversity.
Only thing lacking at Kelantan is finding a watering hole that serves malt based drinks (not horlicks).

Hi Zorro,
ReplyDeleteDid you mentioned "Sun Tzu's art of war"???
What does MELAYU & MUSLIM know about ART OF WAR??? Only Chinese are smart enough to know what ART OF WAR really means.
MELAYU & MUSLIMS only know THE ART OF BEING LAZY.
Whoa anon 4.06pm, that is hitting below the belt.
ReplyDeletePerhaps your analogy is best applied to UMNO M's, agents and associates related to UMNO.
Keep your eyes open and you will soon see that the younger set(those in school through the ages 40 and below) of all stripes work as hard as the next person - money just doesn't fall out from the sky does it, unless the family is loaded ?
Regards zorro and all.
