UPDATE! Ricecooker For Eli & Sivarasa!
from malaysiakini.com:
Human rights lawyer Sivarasa wins Subang – 10.16pm
PKR’s R Sivarasa wins the Subang parliamentary seat by a majority of 8,000 votes. The opposition has also picked up the three state seats under Subang – Elizabeth Wong (PKR) in Bukit Lancang, Dr Nasir Mohd Hashim (PKR) in Kota Damansara and Khairudin Othman (PAS) in Paya Jaras.
=====================================
I know many of you are boycotting the elections but I’m not. I’ll be heading back to my kampung in the next few days. That said, I do wish I’m here to help a few friends with their candidacy, namely Eli Wong (who used to sing with my one-off project band, The Procreation of the Wicked!) and also Sivarasa, who helped a lot of us CM kids in the early days of the scene with stupid police matters. Both are contesting under the PKR ticket.
Eli will be contesting for ADUN for Bukit Lanjan, while Sivarasa for the Parliamentary constituency Subang, covering neighbourhoods and precincts from Desa Jaya, Bandar Sri Damansara, Bukit Lanjan, Bandar Utama, Sungai Buluh, Bandar Rahman Putra, Taman Pinggiran Subang, Kampung Melayu Subang to Kota Damansara and more.
These two are people that I know personally and I do wish I’ll be here to help them out, but I’m not. To those who have time, please lend them a hand,.
BTW; you don’t need to be a registered voter to help them, there are a lot of ways to volunteer. Contacts below, or go here: Appeal For Volunteers

I personally boycott GE this time. Students in OZ have registered for ‘postal voting’ but I abstain myself from voting. I qoute here the thesis statement from Hisham Rais ‘kalau pilihanraya (di malaysia je kot) boleh mengubah keadaan, dah lama ianya diharamkan’.
I, however, hope that Eli and Sivarasa become MP soon so that people will have strong and dissenting voice in the Parliament.
I always maintain that the best bet is to do both; participate in the GE every time it comes, but join or support the Jalanraya everytime!
Absolutely-look beyond the racial politics-if they care about the people then go for it.
yayayaya…aku sokong walaupun aku ni penakut…selalu lari dulu…xpe kat tempat aku ade la juga aku dah sembur…nnt aku kawin ramai2 la dtg sembur…
I read in the paper the opposition won 5 states-is this correct? If so, which party won which state,etc.?
if i’m not mistaken.
kedah-pas
penang-dap
perak-pas
selangor-pkr
kelantan-pas
Wow…I’m rather impressed-the win of what are considered Malay heartlands (third one,of course,being Terengganu) It’s gonna be a slap in the face to the ruling BN coalition-too bad it’s PAS-a more ideological party would have been better as opposed to religous-so…separate check-out lines coming soon in Kedah,I’m guessing?
