JAG just started a day ago, and already creating problem for Samy Vellu. If these ladies go house to house and campaign, SV will have more headache. Its hard for JAG to be viewed as apolitical since their “targets” all come from one side of the camp only. Does it mean that the opposition MPs were more gender-sensitive. Maybe JAG can add some “targets” from Kelantan’s ruling party (if they can find one) to make it more balanced and apolitical. » Read more: Gender equality group members mandhandled by MIC

As long as he plays his game well, the chances are high for him to win the seat. Anyway, the friendly response by public towards a candidate does not necessarily translate into a vote.

Yet again, MIC goes back on its words and admit there are problems with the community, and the list of problems is getting long.  First they denied, then said maybe, and now making the list longer. Makes me wonder sometimes if this whole HINDRAF thing is some sort of sinister plan by MIC. MIC calls itself as “custodian” but looking at the problem with the community, it seems to have failed miserably as a custodian. Maybe its time for the community to take custody of itself instead of giving it to others. Anyway, do read the interview with SV and have a good laugh. » Read more: Interview with Samy Vellu on MIC strategies

Interesting article by Mahendran. Buntong is definitely one seat that may be lost by BN. The article also highlights MIC members giving statements which the leadership may not agree. Hope they are not penalised. » Read more: Buntong Indians hold the key

What can the NS people comment on this? The independent candidate Jeevakumar, a lawyers, seems pretty confident of his chances and claims won’t lose his deposit. 2 of the 3 seats sees a 3-cornered fight, so most likely will affect the opposition. » Read more: Sothinathan and Rajagopalu confident in Negeri Sembilan
