Shaken not stirred


(1) TMI - BN shaken as more than half Johoreans say new faces welcome (extracts):

... a new poll showing that more than half of Johoreans are agreeable to new faces running the state.

In a poll conducted by the Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research last month, 51% of 1,007 Johoreans polled said they would give other parties a chance to administer the state.


Chinese voters were the most receptive to change at 69% followed by Indians (50%) and Malays (39%).

The sentiment also seemed to be more popular among Johoreans in the higher income brackets, with those earning RM4,000-RM6,999 at 67% and RM7,000 and above at 65%.

Urban and rural voters were evenly split on this.



(2) Malaysiakini - Dr M: Fear of Najib greater than during Japanese occupation (extracts):


During his two decades as prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad was accused of ruling the nation with an iron fist, jailing dissidents and political rivals as well as keeping the media, government agencies, and other institutions on a tight least.
However, Mahathir claims that never in the history of Malaysia have its people been so afraid unlike now under the leadership of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The Pakatan Harapan chairperson alleged that the fear is greater than what was experienced during the Japanese occupation.


Related: Mahathir and his Japanese.

Most of us know that TMI (The Malaysian Insight) is pro Mahathir whilst Malaysiakini is (to me) neutral but to BN people, pro Pakatan.

Based on yesterdays' headlines by each media, I wonder who would be considered as more shaken by the polling trend?


BTW, when Mahathir said, "... never in the history of Malaysia have its people been so afraid unlike now under the leadership of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak" I wonder whether he was paraphrasing Winston Churchill's immortal eulogy to the RAF after the decisive Battle of Britain, to wit:

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so fewWakakaka.

    1. if I know who you are thinking of, wakakaka, then you're wrong in your wordings as it ought to be:

      "never in the field of human corruption was so much owed by so few to so many"

      Delete
    2. "never in the field of human corruption was so much taken by so few to the debt of some many"

      May I suggest the above as more appropriate?

    5. What's the point of being so scrupulous in this mincing dance of correct wordings when there's a total failure to apply even when this very act occur right under our noses ?!

      Billions upon billions sudah lesap with incontrovertible proof of such massive theft and there are these blighters around who still shamelessly dare to aver that such crimes are only ALLEGED wrongdoings and blur-sotongs (courtesy of CK !) mouthing that nonsensical of billions found in private account are just donation from some Arab prince and most of the money was returned ! Betul tu...mesti "returned" kan, kalau tak return, rugi besar la if the people demand this 'donated' money be put to use for public good, heheheh...pandai curi dan pandai kelentong ni...like that, how not be filthy rich without actually working hard for it ?
