Praise be to HIM!

The question is not will he win but will he able to reduce the majority?

It is indeed bewildering when the Opposition in Pulau Pinang decided to put forward a disbarred lawyer as their 'most eligible' candidate in the Permatang Pasir by election on August 25. Although they vehemently claim that he is innocent of the breach hurled at him but both the Bar Council and the High Court have both tacitly and openly declared his guilt - by revoking his license to practice!

It is easy to understand the aftermath of such conviction though he with the help of his party has settled the amount he has misappropriated but the damage and wrong have already been done. A trust has been broken between him and his client. Now, his former partner, who is by the way is not charged with anything has claimed to be made the scape got for the debacle.

May it is fate that while the ruling coalition is trying very hard to portray itself as clean, good and responsible entity but still they fail miserably in their quest to cleanse themselves. It is mind boggling when they decided to pick someone like him to be the candidate in a by election so important as the Permatang Pasir after series of humiliating defeats. It is an insult to other party members whom I believe to be many who possess better image compared to the candidate. Out of thousands of their members in Permatang Pasir, the party has decided to field someone who is morally tainted only because he is considered ' people friendly', which by the way is a misnomer since he has been convicted of a breach of trust against others whom he is supposed to look after morally, ethically and professionally.

Praise be to God that He has indeed exposed the truth , the real face of the party through such humiliating fumble and let it be a lesson to all particularly the voters in Permatang Pasir to choose the right person to be their representative, not a person who later will embezzle not only their trust but also the allocations meant for them. Send the other candidate to the State Assembly with a resounding victory never achieved before! Insya Allah

"People friendly should not be interpreted literally but figuratively as well"
