Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email In part 1, I showed that at least 4 Indians will make it to the Parliament since it’s a competition between Indian candidates in those seats (with exception of Sungai Siput which has an Independent Malay candidate – but I think he doesn’t have a chance of winning). In this article, we can see that in 5 states, there will be at least one Indian assemblyman. Penang, Perak, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan will have 2 assemblymen each, while Pahang will have one. That means only Kedah, Malacca, and Johor are not guaranteed of having at least one Indian assemblyman. More on that in my next article.
PENANG
N9 BAGAN DALAM
Indians – 24.3%
Malays – 22.7%
Chinese – 52.5%
Others – 0.4%
Indians + Chinese = 76.8%
Total voters – 17,194
SUBBAIYAH PALANIAPPAN (BN)
A. TANASEKHARAN (DAP)
– If the Chinese votes can be swayed, BN is done for it.
N16 PERAI
Indians – 36.6%
Malays – 10.9%
Chinese – 51.8%
Others – 0.7%
Indians + Chinese – 88.4%
Total voters – 14,175
KRISHNAN LETCHUMANAN (BN)
RAMASAMY PALANISAMY (DAP)
– Again, the Chinese play an important role. Prof Ramasamy being an academic, may get more respect from the other communities.
PERAK
N54 HUTAN MELINTANG
Indians – 32.1%
Malays – 50.6%
Chinese – 17.1%
Others – 0.2%
Indians + Chinese – 49.2%
Total voters – 20,758
S. THANGASVARI (BN)
KESAVAN SUBRAMANIAM (PKR)
– This is a bit tough for PKR. Malay votes most likely swing to BN. PKR have lots of work to do.
N57 SUNGKAI
Indians – 19.0%
Malays – 22.5%
Chinese – 56.5%
Others – 2.9%
Indians + Chinese – 75.5%
Total voters – 17,290
S. VEERASINGAM (BN)
SIVANESAN ACHALINGAM (DAP)
– Again, Chinese will influence the results. Also depends on how much firepower Veerasingam can bring in to cover the voters.
PAHANG
N35 SABAI
Indians – 19.4%
Malays – 36.6%
Chinese – 43.0%
Others – 0.1%
Indians + Chinese – 62.4%
Total voters – 9,486
DAVENDRAN MURTHY (BN)
KAMACHE DORAY RAJOO (DAP)
– I think incumbent Davendran will nick it with the Malay votes.
SELANGOR
N10 BUKIT MELAWATI
Indians – 30.9%
Malays – 56.5%
Chinese – 12.5%
Others – 0.1%
Indians + Chinese – 43.4%
Total voters – 12,897
K. PARTHIBAN (BN)
MUTHIAH MARIAM PILLAY (PKR)
– Parthiban seemed to have disappeared from the radar after Ijok by-election. He may win in this relatively safer seat, unless PKR is able to attract Malay voters.
N49 SERI ANDALAS
Indians – 33.0%
Malays – 42.9%
Chinese – 23.3%
Others – 0.8%
Indians + Chinese – 56.3%
Total voters – 38,833
KAMALAM ANNASAMY (BN)
XAVIER JAYAKUMAR ARULANANDAM (PKR)
– Have been hearing negative comments about Kamala Ganapathy. If PKR can execute their campaign well, control their crowd and not make a nuisance, they may be able to swing the Chinese votes.
NEGERI SEMBILAN
N7 JERAM PADANG
Indians – 38.6%
Malays – 47.5%
Chinese – 13.8%
Others – 0.1%
Indians + Chinese – 52.4%
Total voters – 9,960
MOGAN VELAYATHAM (BN)
MANOHARAN KANNAN (PKR)
– Again, this looks like safe seat for BN. Previously held by Dato L Krishnan.
N32 PORT DICKSON
Indians – 29.1%
Malays – 33.9%
Chinese – 36.6%
Others – 0.4%
Indians + Chinese – 65.7%
Total voters – 11,848
RAJAGOPALU THAMOTHARAPILLAY (BN)
RAVY MUNUSAMY (PKR)
JEEVA KUMAR MARIMUTHU (Independent)
– this is a tricky one. All three candidates are Indians, so the independent candidate will serve as spoiler for the PKR candidate. BN may win due to this.
