Today, the Election Commission meets to decide on the date for Nomination and Polling Day which will see close to 15 million voters making their choice about who they want to lead them. While some are concerned that the recently passed redelineation exercise has created an even more uneven playing field, the Federal opposition remains committed to the process. Our guest has written on Malaysian politics and in particular how the ruling coalition Barisan Nasional has held on to power by its “extensively manipulation” of the electoral system.

why fix polling date on May 9th? so that those outstation would not return to their hometown to cast their votes???

Those industries with trade unions should demand 2 days unrecorded leave for outstation staff to vote.
2018-04-10 15:17
Ha.. Ha.. Ha... the election just begin and BN already started pressing the panic button.

Date 9 May 2018 also very unlucky date for Chinese. 9+5 = 14. Chinese Unlucky Number 14. Number 14 is considered to be the worst number among all the unlucky numbers. The '1' in the number 14 does not represent loneliness; instead it means 'guaranteed'. Therefore, the number would interpret 'guaranteed death'.

Hmmm?
Let's divine the numbers
May is 5th month
There are actually 9 numbers as 10 is equivalent to 1
So 5 in the Center number of 1 to 9
1, 2, 3, 4, (5), 6, 7, 8, 9,
Since it is in the Very Middle it means the position of indecision or possible change to left or right. In other word "uncertainty"
HOWEVER IN BIBLE NUMERIC THE NUMBER 5 SPEAKS OF GOD'S GRACE OR UNMERITED FAVOR
See
http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/5.html
The number 9 is Calvin's favorite number. 9 speaks of continuity or eternity
In cantonese it is "cheong cheong kau kau" which means long long 9 9.
Lasting very very long time!
Since 9 is forever any number multiples with 9 - the sum total always end with 9
Example
3 x 9 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9
4 x 9 = 36 = 3 + 6 = 9
8 x 9 = 72 = 7 + 2 = 9
Or 2 digits x 9
13 x 9 = 117 = 1 + 1 + 7 = 9
85 x 9 = 765 = 7 + 6 + 5 = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9
Or 3 digits x 9 (Chose any random numbers with your calculators and try?)
737 x 9 = 6,633 = 6 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 18 = 1 + * = 9
Or take 10 digits?
1,234,567,899 x 9 = 11,111,111,091 = 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+0+9+1 = 18 = 9
SO WE SEE HERE THAT MATHS IS A VERY ACCURATE SUBJECT.
NOW MAY 9 Could Mean 5+9 = 14
But in numeric we always end with the lowest denominator of 1 digit
So 5+9 = 14 = 1+4 = 5
AND THIS IS THE DIVINED NUMBER
WHAT IT'S IN STORE FOR MALAYSIA?
IT WILL BE A VERY UNCERTAIN ELECTION AS NO ONE CAN SAY FOR SURE 100% WHO WILL WIN - BN or PAKATAN
ONLY ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF KNOWS
AND SO WE ARE EXHORTED TO PRAY (1 Timothy 2:1 -3)
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
King James Version (Romans 13:1)
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Malaysian mentality today is backward as compare to Indonesia, Thailand and Philippine. Countries like Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China are much advance now. Sad to compare with China. Even though China is a communist country, the government is taking care of their citizen much better than Malaysia. Quote one example, today Qindao local government have this year a budget of USD 2 billions to beautify their city with their own local government income. They refurbish all their public toilets, bicycle lane, community hall, rubbish collection etc.
The people can feel the changes, people can feel their life are better in a very short time.They know they are govern by trusted and capable leaders.
DAP and PKR are so proud of their successful state in Penang and Selangor. But if you compare with China, may be is like the land and the sky. If compare with state govern by BN is like hell and heaven.
Robert Kouk migrated to China 40+ years ago was from hell to heaven, very smart and foresight man indeed even during 1970+ many regard Malaysia as heaven and China is hell.

Trump's tweets of today
Donald J. Trump
Very thankful for President Xi of China’s kind words on tariffs and automobile barriers...also, his enlightenment on intellectual property and technology transfers. We will make great progress together!
So much Fake News about what is going on in the White House. Very calm and calculated with a big focus on open and fair trade with China, the coming North Korea meeting and, of course, the vicious gas attack in Syria. Feels great to have Bolton & Larry K on board. I (we) are
