Being a registered voter in my hometown (which is a mere 30 minutes from my current location), I took the weekend opportunity to see for myself the happenings at the nomination centre. The nomination for parliament seat P110 (Klang) and its 3 state seats (Port Klang N46, Pandaraman N47, and Kota Alam Shah N48) was held at Dewan Hamzah. I got an SMS from a friend saying the supporters for Manoharan will be marching from Chetty Padang (field) instead of Lecthumanan Hall as mentioned a day earlier. Anyway, I reached Dewan Hamzah at about 9.15am, by which the candidates were already in the nomination centre. The police had closed some of the roads, so I had some problem finding parking. Managed to park behind the Dewan and walked up the stairs. » Read more: Nomination Day at Klang

All the best to Manoharan! From the few Klangites I asked, he seems to have a fighting chance, what more with the last election’s majority is about 2743 (17%). Hope they don’t reject his papers on some technical grounds. » Read more: Manoharan for ADUN!

Indian women power at work!

I was at a family function today and had a shock! Imagine ladies aged between 20s and 50s talking politics, instead of mega-serials and cooking recipes. Well, that’s what HINDRAF has done. These ladies are the working category, in a multi-racial environment. They shared their experiences and latest news (rumours as well) on current election campaign. From Saravanan (standing in Tapah) being labelled with not-so-kind-words, to talking about situation if no indian representatives are in parliment, these ladies signify the huge leap that is happening in the Indian community. » Read more: Indian women power at work!

Well, looks like creativity streak flows as well for Makkal Sakthi. Anyway, that’s beside the point (or is it the point indeed?). The people are being promised (yet again) of new school and solving the temple problem. Will the people there still trust them? » Read more: Mystery CD in Kedah amid more promises
