It is indeed a sad day for all Malaysians, young and old for it is clear that the ruling coalition has shown their tight grip on all government machinery to stay in power irrespective of its cost and effects. Last night, while it was abundantly clear that the Opposition was leading and in fact was the clear victor of the Sibu by-election, the Election Commission was 'clearly' seen trying to manipulate the outcome of the election. In other words, they were trying to rigg the election in favour of the ruling coalition whom they mistakenly believe to be their superior thus the need to protect them.
Earlier on , the EC announced that the percentage of voters was only 59% give and take but suddenly towards the end when it was clear that the Opposition was going to win it miraculously increased to 70+! Yet, many seem oblivious to these manipulations or rather cheating and abuse of power by the officials who are entrusted with upholding their respective responsibility by the People. It is sad to see and witness the natives to stick to those who are in fact cheating them of their trust behind their back and continue to support the oppression just because the threat of them being overpowered by the non natives. This latest episode of power abuse by the ruling coalition should be an eye opener to all and the need to change the party controlling or managing the government takes priority. Their tactics of showing the chaos in Thailand should never scared the People since those demonstrators are actually asking the right for a democratically elected government though the Thaksin led government might not be the best for what they had done to the Muslims in the South, but they are in the first place democratically elected by the People. Hence, our fear about the chaos that might befall us is a non issue.

Time is ripe for all peace and democratic supporters to show the ruling coalition of who is really the boss since it is very clear now that the ruling coalition unlike the Labour Party in Britain to go away gracefully and with dignity. They are no different from those power crazy nuts in Zimbabwe and other third world nations. The only way to boot them out is through clear vote for the People's Pact and there is no two ways about it..only a clear mandate for the People!
