IPF supports BN

There were some IPF supporters during nomination day in Klang. IPF leader’s face were also plastered on banners in Puchong. But if so many Indians are claimed to have voted against BN, that means those Indians in MIC, IPF, PPP, Gerakan, the Indian muslims in UMNO and KIMMA, almost all of them voted for the opposition. Heck, for all we know, even the families of Indian leaders would have voted for the opposition (I can imagine a smiling Datin Indrani voting for the doctor in Sg Siput 😆 )! That much of Indians moved away from MIC and BN.

So, what I think the leaders are saying is that the leaders and the party (in name) supports BN, but the members all are pro-opposition. » Read more: IPF supports BN

Even DAP’s senior assemblymen Teng did not get a place, what more of Manoharan. Teng was the opposition assemblyman in previous BN goverment in Selangor, and he did highlight few issues that made him well-known.  I suspect DAP will be soon “forgetting” the HINDRAF effect. » Read more: no place for Manoharan in Selangor EXCO list

The prof’s analysis came out in the NST. I’m interested in some of the things he said:

The Chinese were unhappy with the state of the economy as they felt it could have been better. The Indians lamented that they have been marginalised in every sphere. So, the government decided to make some concessions for the non-Malays, and this incurred the wrath of the Malays. » Read more: Prof Arabi analyses election vote swing

 Newly elected assemblymen Mogan is MIC sole representative in Negeri Sembilan. He is in charge of Estate Affairs and Human Resources, thus much will be expected from his. First and foremost will be the smooth processing of birth certificates and ICs. Then, stopping exploitation of estate workers and forced labour. » Read more: Jeram Padang Assemblyman Mogan starts his duty
