The Buntong state seat in Perak which Barisan Nasional had let slip several times in the last 11 general elections is likely to see another keen contest this time round. Coupled with the fact that Buntong has 46.2 percent Indian voters – the largest in the country in terms of percentage – the outcome on polling day would definitely be closely watched. » Read more: Buntong the highest percentage of Indian voters

If the people are showing their displeasure, and needing to have security all around, plus talking to half-empty or disinterested people isn’t clear enough…

On the other hand, Makkal Sakthi/protestors must ensure they don’t overdo it by hurling abuses or throwing things at leaders. This can cause the undecided Indians and other communities to think again if want to support them. It must be peaceful and symbolic protest or presence, rather than shouting vulgar words. The point is not to hurt SV vocally, but to show the dissent in a peaceful and acceptable manner. SV won’t be bothered if someone throws a shoe! He had seen much more things in life. » Read more: Samy Vellu having terrible time in Penang

The papers did not list out the complete list of BN’s manifesto, so I’m listing them below (not in order). I did not put the list of achievements since the facts may be disputable or not worded properly. Will try to put them up later. Anyway, one will vote based on what the parties promise to do, and BN have the added burden of proving that what they promised earlier have been done, while the opposition (except PAS) don’t have such problem. » Read more: BN Manifesto launched
