Teluk Intan By Election: voters must vote wisely
Why DAP has chosen Dyana, a Malay candidate?
Koon Yew Yin
Recently, the internet news portal, Malaysia Chronicle carried an article “FED UP WITH MALAY RACISM & BULLYING, Chinese in Teluk Intan may not accept Dyana despite her DAP credentials”.
According to one critic, many faithful DAP supporters would be disappointed that Hew Kuan Yau, a popular local DAP leader known as “Superman” who had been touted as an early candidate for the Teluk Intan by-election scheduled for May 31 was not chosen.
Chosen instead is a Malay candidate, Dyana, the political secretary to veteran DAP politician Lim Kit Siang.
Some people say that DAP is taking a big risk in view of the fact that in Teluk Intan there are more Chinese than Malay voters. I agree but I think the risk is well worth taking. Let us not forget that DAP is a multi-racial party and if it wants to win power, it must prove its multi-racial and not Chinese credentials to the voters - Chinese and non-Chinese.
Let me also point out that the voter composition in Teluk Intan is 42% ethnic Chinese, 19 % Indians and 38 % Malays - in other words there is in fact a non-Chinese majority.
Chinese Voters are Politically Sophisticated and that is why DAP is taking this big gamble
Finally let me point out that many Chinese voters are politically sophisticated. They will not vote simply on the basis of race. If Chinese voters go by race alone, then MCA and Gerakan will still have many MPs and enjoy the support of the Chinese. The fact that Chinese are politically astute is why the DAP is counting on Dyana to win the seat. This move is a logical as well as wise one.
I support it and I expect that most voters in Teluk Intan will also support this move.
Everyone knows that during the past few elections most Chinese have voted across racial lines for a clean, efficient and genuinely multi-racial government. We know also what Chinese think of the BN government.
Everyone also knows also of the time when the people of Perak had their state election results in which they had chosen the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalition to govern the state, overturned by trickery and deceit. At that time in 2009, three state legislators elected on PR tickets defected to the Barisan Nasional (BN) in a move which was masterminded by the Prime Minister, Najib Razak, as head of Perak’s BN.
Subsequently, the Sultan of Perak refused Menteri Besar Nizar’s request to dissolve the state assembly and call for new elections. Instead, Barisan Nasional (BN), with support from the three defecting assemblymen, formed the new – and in my mind - – illegitimate state government. I am sure most Malaysians including even BN supporters will agree that the BN government played dirty and should not have been allowed to rule the state.
Close State Election Results Favoured BN
In the recent 2013 elections, history repeated itself with a different kind of dirty trick. This time the election was stolen with more conventional methods. According to the official tally, BN won 31 seats to the PR’s 28 in a closely contested race. But on close analysis of the results, we find that BN won 8 of the state seats (and 2 parliamentary ones) with wafer thin majorities. State seats that BN candidates won with very small margins as shown below:
Perak State Seat Total Votes Cast Winning Margin of BN Candidate BN % of Votes
Selama 13,089 619 52.3
Kamunting 22,681 887 51.9
Lubok Merbau 12,469 53 50.2
Manjoi 42,890 132 50.1
Manong 14,579 231 50.8
Pasir Panjang 30,247 304 50.1
Rungkup 12,217 613 52.5
Changkat Jong 23,271 1,118 51.8
Cheating in Elections
Cheating at the electoral booth can influence outcomes in close races. Such cheating takes many forms. Some of the major ways include:
Tampering of the electoral rolls including registering foreign nationals as registered voters; individuals registered doubly as regular and postal voters; phantom voters;
Biased and unreliable counting and tallying practices
Questionable postal votes
Dirty tactics of election officials aimed at favouring one candidate or party.
It is important to emphasise that there is no level electoral playing field in Malaysia. This is why - in order for the DAP candidate to win - it is necessary that all registered voters turn up to vote. This is the only way to make sure that the election in Teluk Intan is not a close race and is not stolen by the BN. Everyone in Teluk Intan - Chinese, Malays and Indians - must vote to ensure that we Perakians put a stop to the corrupt and dirty rule of BN.

I agreed with Mr Koon assessment that PR (DAP) has an edge over the BN ( GRM) candidate. However, the voters turn out will be the deciding factor. Both PR and BN has their core supporters.
With the Hudad law proposal hanging over the PR coalition. DAP may be hurt by the current sentiment. assuming 20% lower turn out by the voters ( either thru work commitments or disillusion by the PAS proposal.
a simple calculations means - 20% ( non malay support ) and assuming fielding a malay candidate may attract Malay support of + 5% to the DAP candidate. This means simple calculations shows - 15% votes for the DAP .
whereas the BN ( Mah ) support base may not varies much as most of the 20% non Malays vote is not going to the BN. the 5 % swing in the Malay vote may not translate into actual votes loss.
The UMNO ( BN Machinery ) is still very strong in their rural kampong base not forgeting the Perak MB comes from UMNO. most of their core (UMNO) supporters are residents in the Teluk Intan area. as such DAP may not have it easy this time. A 10% swing will be tough to stomach.

I will make official complain to the admin of i3investor. I hope justice to all that this forum only for investment and not privilege of Mr. Koon for his political views.
2014-05-19 16:00
ramkarpalsingh, politics, economics and investment are all inter-connected. The politicians you elect will make all the rules and regulations that will affect you and your children.
If you complain you are showing your ignorance and I am 100% sure the editor of this forum will ignore you and readers will laugh at you. If you don't believe me, you can complain.
If you do not like politics so much why do you use the great hero politician's name Karpal Singh?
2014-05-19 16:15
I have made my official complain to i3investor. This forum strictly for investment purpose.
2014-05-19 16:16
ram, why u use politician's name n show ur ignorance here?? it is disrespectfull..
2014-05-19 16:20
Mr. Koon, to publish a defamation article related to Ahmad Said is bad for I3investor. What if Ahmad Said sue this forum for carrying article without any proof?
2014-05-19 16:23
if u have 3rd class politicians, wud u expect 1st class investment to flourish?? ignoramus frog??
2014-05-19 16:23
"....must vote to ensure that we Perakians put a stop to the corrupt and dirty rule of BN". Why making sweeping statement? Where is the proof? But not in i3investor forum. Please!! We are investing community here!!

ramkarpalsingh, Malaysiakini also published my article today on Money Politics and Mr Loh their editor assured me that my article on Telok Intan by election will be published.
My articles also appeared in other media. If you want to read more just google koonyewyin.com
You can ask Ahmad Said to sue me. You must remember that he and 2 other resigned and as a result the BN would have lost control of Terengganu State if the 3 frogs did not jumped back. I can imagine some big money must have change hands.
2014-05-19 17:09
Keep those articles coming Mr Koon. Those who complain about your articles are most likely those amoral and selfish investors who care only about milking the system with no regards to making the country better. Just ignore them. And yes Dyana is a great choice for it laid bare the essense of UMNO's obsession with sex, sex and more sex.
2014-05-19 18:33
Ramkarpalsingh, in the money game, no handicaps are given. If you choose to handicap yourself, just skip Mr Koon's articles. Simple.
2014-05-19 19:20
Choop818, Mr. Koon is welcome to advise on investment. We all know his strong recommendation for JTiasa and Mudajaya that never move so far. The issue is come political view, best to air in proper forum like Malaysiainsider, Malaysiakini etc. I3ivestor is not Mr. Koon place to promote his brand of politic. Mr. Koon is not a privilege member where the rest of us are refrain from publishing our political views. This bias preference given only to Mr. Koon akin that this forum is opposition front and such impressive may affect us who are neutral in political view. Not all stocks are political related. There are many counters gaining 30% to 100% with no political relation whatsoever.
2014-05-19 19:31
Mr. Koon please keep on writing your political thoughts. We have a great time with it. Investors should also be concern about the direction which the country is heading. Thank you for your investment advice too.

ramkarpal tiam tiam please. I studied at a top university in the States where I practiced my 1st Amendment rights openly and I still do even at this shit hole country because I know one day people like me will lead the nation. Nothing wrong with transparency and freedom of opinions, the government may suppress us but they cannot stop us from exposing their fallacies.
2014-05-19 19:47

2014-05-19 19:55
Ramkarpal, who asked u to refrain from talking politics? Not I. And not from 99% of level-headed commentators in i3. U r free to express your political views. Like I say, in Malaysia, politics is business and business is politics.
2014-05-19 20:25
Cheating????? Mr. Koon, did you mean the 40000 bangla that flew in to vote??? Hmmm...where are they hiding them? Ooops....no, no, no he never said 40000 bangla.

Another by-election. Anyways, my choice still go to DAP even if the candidate is kangkung or RM1 chicken. Regarding Dyana, why didn't choose her as candidate for Kajang by election. She is charming
2014-05-19 22:19
The Teluk Intan by-election is a good opportunity for the voters to decide on
-Which candidate is better qualified to bring in changes that improves the economic wellbeing of the people and society at large.
-Which Party can indeed promote policies that "Bring people in Malaysia together rather than Drive them apart."
-Which political party fights for free, clean and fair elections be practised and be upheld at all times
-Which party fights for opportunities be given to all Malaysians with the ultimate objective of openly inviting willing participation, creating an environment for a society that respects the principles of justice, rule of law, democracy , civil liberties, empowers its citizens with knowledge and linguistic skills and getting the best and brightest talents to come forth, be entrepreneurial, working as a team to create employment opportunities , assume leadership roles, take charge, manage and influence the process which creates better opportunities for successive generations living in Malaysia.
-Which party is better in improving the general economic wellbeing of the younger generation in empowering and arming the young generation with knowledge and skill sets that improves their economic wellbeing , improves the competitive edge of the country in that process and eventually result in better quality of life, better employment opportunities for the young generation
The voters of Teluk Intan will have time up to May 31st 2014, to perform their fundamental analysis on both candidates and also evaluate and decide for the policies of the respective political parties that each candidate represents.

Wah Jadi katak pasti untung $$$$
takda risiko sambil untung banyak $$$$
Cuma perlu kemahiran wayang kulit ja atau EQ paling tinggi tahap ja
IQ tinggi tak perlu lah, Cuma perlu EQ tahap tinggi ja
Lebih baik berbanding dengan menjadi pelabur saham

Katak katak yang senantiasa duduk di bawah tempurung, takda untung
Menurut blog Pak Cik Koon tentang Teluk Intan by election,
Katak katak sementara yang berani keluar tari tempurung BN
dah untung $$$$$$$$
Apa kah ROE atau ROIC Katak katak sementara tu?
Sebahagian kecil pelabur pelabur i3 disini dah catatkan rekod ROE atau ROIC 30%, 100%, 300%, 1000%, 10,000% atau kadar yang lebih besar
Kebanyakan pelabur saham i3 di sini untung sikit ,rugi sikit atau rugi besar
Namun begitu "invested capital atau equity capital" para pelabur pelabur saham tu dah berkurangan
Katak katak sementara takda "invested capital atau equity capital"
IQ tinggi takda,
Cuma memperolehi EQ dan keberanian yang canggih ja
Macam mana nak nilai EQ yang canggih tu?
Siapa di antara pelabur pelabur i3 forum ni boleh menilai EQ yang canggih tu?
Nampak nya setakat ni tak boleh menilai EQ yang canggih tu
Oleh tu, apa kah ROE atau ROIC katak katak sementara tu?
Nampak nya ROE atau ROIC katak katak sementara tu ia lah "Infinity"
Katak katak sementara tu dah mecapai ROE atau ROIC yang paling tertinggi
Rekod ni susah di cabar oleh pelabur pelabur saham i3 yang tercanggih
Hahahaha Huhuhuhu

Well, i do have political question to Mr. Koon. Why is Mr. Koon so supportive of KIDEX when majority of PR supporters are against it. Mr. Koon want to put blind eyes to KIDEX as long as his Mudajaya get awarded the project? Can Mr. Koon answer this investment but politically link counter?
2014-05-25 15:10
Where did you see that I supported KIDEX? Although I was one of the founders of Mudajaya, I sold most of my holding long ago and currently I have less than 1%. You must remember that as opposition party,PR must oppose BN projects irrespective of its benefit to the rakyat.
Please note that I am not a politician and I am not a DAP member so that I can comment freely as a NGO.
2014-05-25 16:29
I guess the whole Malaysia know who is Raja Putar Alam but i am surprise to know Mr. Koon has similar EQ too or should i say IQ too. The mark of high EQ and IQ are those who practice 3 things, deny, deny and deny.
