   Bravo Lilian. Really proud of you guys.

2. karen dcruz, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:26 pm Said:

   you are right.. i am watching tv3 news and there is nothing!!!..

3. thatjames, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:28 pm Said:

   RTM1 and AWANI are rubbish. Nothing worth watching there. They’re only reporting the BN wins.

4. ks, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:34 pm Said:

   confirm liau bo?

5. Sang, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:34 pm Said:

   Kelantan is PAS. Go DAP, for Penang.

6. Abby's Mummy, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:35 pm Said:

   Does anyone know what is happening in Sabah? No news anywhere, I am frantic. what does RTM say? BN won a lot?

7. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:35 pm Said:

   james – I am just waiting for the new guys to kira sama itu Zam. They totally block the news lah. Kuching into DAP hands, they never mention but keep talking about those BN wins. They go to Kepala Batas and claim no results yet.

   karen – I cannot wait to see them announcing later on…

   Jen – Yes, I am so happy!

8. pablopabla, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:36 pm Said:

   I am not following the results thru TV. Don’t trust them anymore on politics. It’s Malaysiakini!

9. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:38 pm Said:

   Just wondering, what does “unconfirmed” at the malaysiankini.com website mean? Projected? Can it be overturned?

10. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:39 pm Said:

    abby’s mom – So far no news wor. It is all BN winning results only.

    ks – Yes, confirmed liao wan. Unless they can really come out with upsets but so many eyes and so many people observing and with the SMS, they cannot do much upsets I hope.

11. ks, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:41 pm Said:

    then the next question is who will b the next penang cm ???? =)

12. mama22beas, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:41 pm Said:

    Haha I could hear hubby fighting over the remote with the kids. Will let him know nothing over there, just updated him with news about Kuching and jeffooi. So excited to hear about Penang and I imagine my parents are treating free meals to everyone in Kelantan.

13. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:41 pm Said:

    Dan – First they count at the polling station. Then, they bring back to the center where they added up all the different schools results. This is the unconfirmed ones because there are DAP/PKR/PAS people along with the EC officers. Then, after that, they will bring the ballot boxes to the state level where it is announced. So, unless the EC can bring in some postal votes to upset, then, the result is what we get now. That means, there are three levels.

14. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:43 pm Said:

    mama23beas – Yeah, Kelantan is so strong. I was so happy for them too.

    ks – They majority will decide and in Penang,if the majority is DAP, then,they will pick from DAP. But one thing is sure. Koh Tsu Koon sudah lost his minister seat as well.

15. CY, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:46 pm Said:

    If I understand correctly, the postal votes will only be added in later? Is this true, aunty Lilian?

16. Victor, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:47 pm Said:

    Power to the people!

    I pray that no postal votes will come spoil the people’s choice!

17. POTBLACK, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:49 pm Said:

    Penangites I lespek sama lu.Manyak shiok.

18. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:49 pm Said:

    Cool, thanks much for the explanation. Yeah you’re right, I hope the EC does not play dirty with the postal votes! #$*%&#$@*%&#$@*(%!!

    Right now TV is only showing all the BN wins, WTF!

    Please keep us updated on the situation over there, you’re like malaysiankini.com liao!

19. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:50 pm Said:

    CY – Ya. Anything can happen. Lim Kit Siang has blogged about some of the ‘tsunami victory’ so it is partially confirmed but we have to wait for the official results lor. 10 pm we will know if we have a new government and new CM

20. Carmen, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:51 pm Said:

    If D(R)AP is really taking over Penang, they better not boycott SK schools and let the money go to only Chinese schools.

21. ks, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:53 pm Said:

    Kit Siang’s blogspot down d!!!!!

22. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:54 pm Said:

    carmen – LOL where you get the idea that DAP is for the Chinese only? They don’t make the decisions altogether, don’t worry.

23. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:55 pm Said:

    ks – LOL, my site still going strong but can kaput too. But I am hosted on VPS (like semi-bangarlow, rental paid in USD wan) so I hope to tahan. I got Bryan lengjai to jaga.

24. Sang, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:55 pm Said:

    Any new on Izzah against Shahrizat? If she wins, now that’s really saying something. A David vs Goliath.

25. Lilian, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:56 pm Said:

    malaysiakini site also down! at 8.55 pm

26. Abby's Mummy, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:56 pm Said:

    Unconfirmed report from Sabah, in the hot seat of Api-Api the PKR candidate was leading slimly then they suddenly produced thousands of postal votes, all for BN. Now fighting for life, please pray!

27. Steeky, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:56 pm Said:

    Looks like MCA and Gerakan lost all states seats, last
    I heard… not confirmed at time of writing.. Damn SweeT Victory this time round ! Justice is done !!!

28. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:57 pm Said:

    Carmen: As opposed to almost NONE, pittance, of the money going to Chinese, Tamil or mission schools over the last 50 years, as a percentage going to national schools? I didn’t come from a vernacular school, but there should be some fairness if that’s what the citizens want. It’s not like other schools will be ignored – there will be hue and outcry. And it’s obvious Chinese have proven to be outstanding in education, if a little too much emphasis on rote learning and not enough English. Mission schools have always been renowned.

    Whatever it is, all pointers are that it’s doing to be more fair than what BN would do.

29. Angie Tan, on March 8th, 2008 at 8:58 pm Said:

    All I can say to Penangites is… MAKKAL SAKTI!

    You folks have taken Penang back! Let’s work for a better future!!

33. Pam, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:06 pm Said:

    Besides Bandar Kuching, 2 others are taken by DAP ie. Stampin and Sarikei. Sibu still held on by BN only because of postal votes.

    I’m so happy for u all Penang lang. Way to go!

34. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:14 pm Said:

    Wah lau!! This stupid professor on TV3 just said that since people think that voting against MCA/MIC/Gerakan is a vote against UMNO, these people are anti-Malay!!!!

    WHAT RACIST CRAP!

    People vote for PAS and PKR also, so you mean PAS & PKR is not Malay??

35. kuching kia, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:14 pm Said:

    seriously.!!

40. Mrs SET, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:26 pm Said:

    Tis yr is so exciting ! never before have I seen such an election fever in PJ Utara. I am waiting for PJ Utara.

    U all are right, the TV station says nothing abt Penang at all . R we Malaysian that stupid ? I am truly sad if we are….

41. Ben, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:29 pm Said:

    Even though I am no longer a Malaysian, I have been staying up the whole nite watching this unfolding in Malaysia from Canada. I was with the Reformasi movement in the late 1990s and an beginning to see the fruits of all the years of struggle. I hope this will lead to a huge shakeup in the BN government and put the fear of the PEOPLE in them. May Malaysia comes out stronger than ever before.

42. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:32 pm Said:

    NTV7 is doing a hack propaganda job as well. The woman host actually asks some good questions, touching on Bersih rally, VK Lingam, EC transparency. But the “analyst” answering the question is obviously biased! He says he did a survey amongst 2,000 people, and only 30% think the EC is not transparent. Yeah, probably 2,000 civil servants, who are too afraid to say otherwise.

43. karen dcruz, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:32 pm Said:

    i cant believe the rubbish on tv3 now.. omg..when are they going to get to the best part…

    Thank god for Malaysia Kini!

44. Hobart Lim Zi Ying, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:33 pm Said:

    I know there are lots of Penangnites who are happy with the unexpected and surprising results. But let us not forget the fact of the postal voters, or what people call the phantom voters who from what I heard, has been prepared in case the votes swings in Penang, which according to Malaysiakini has.

    And yes, there is nothing on the TV about Penang. All about BN’s wins in Sabah and Sarawak, with just a confirmed update on DAP’s win in Kuching.

45. Syn, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:34 pm Said:

    Thanks Lilian, hubby was waiting in front of TV3 waiting for news as he heard Penang won by the opposition but no news wor. So i thought of u and now hubby is reading at Malaysiakini. Happy for Penang too! Congrats Penangites!

    Now waiting for the rest…

46. karen dcruz, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:35 pm Said:

    something must be said about Journalism integrity in Malaysia. How much more lopsided can the local media be? how do these people live with themselves??

47. milly, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:36 pm Said:

    wow, wow, wow!!!!!!!!
    penangites, way to go!!!!
    penang hokkien has a saying “theam kau kah see lang” = quiet dog has the deadliest bite”!!!

    Even koh tsu khoo also ta pao! Haha…

51. Pam, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:53 pm Said:

    True, in Sarawak, only confirmed in Bandar Kuching. Latest news is Sarikei DAP also lost by mere 51 votes. All because of 3 independants of whom 2 were ex-DAP members. Ding Kwong Hiing (BN) 10588, Wong Hua Seh (DAP) 10537, 3 (IND) total of 766. Moral lesson: Be united.

52. Mrs SET, on March 8th, 2008 at 9:54 pm Said:

    it is official :t TTwangsa lost to Dr Lo Lo PAS, a new comer . All along the TTwangsa a Strong BN stronghold.

    So i think the profile of voting pattern is changing.
    BN has need to have a deep and honest relook…

53. Abby's Mummy, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:02 pm Said:

    Folks, please do not leave any unconfirmed reports, any IGP warning or such matters. If you are happy,please say happy but please watch your language. Emotions may run high so it is for our benefits to just being happy and keep smiling.

    Hoi, Terence, lu sama jaga ha.

60. David, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:29 pm Said:

    I agree. The rakyat is the boss. We only realized it after 50 years.

61. Steeky, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:33 pm Said:

    Anyone any idea who will be the next CM of Penang then?

62. buzzingbee, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:38 pm Said:

    Well done Penangites!! The people have spoken!!

63. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:39 pm Said:

    Steeky: Jeff Ooi? Can have gurneydrive.org instead of petalingstreet.org liao? Free Internet access all over Penang using WiMax? D

64. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:46 pm Said:

    Man, that Honey (that *is* her name, ahahaha) on NTV7 is KICKING ASS!!!! She just dissed Shahrizat and Samy. Women everywhere should be rejoicing! She’s running circles around that Dr. Rizal guy next to her.

65. Ard, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:48 pm Said:

    Hidup Rakyat! Hidup Malaysia! The rakyat has spoken!

66. Victor, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:52 pm Said:

    I think it was discussed that Lim Guan Eng will be the Penang CM if the opposition took over the island.

67. Choonie, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:54 pm Said:

    Haiyo… Malaysiakini down liao!

68. chiak-par-siu-eng, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:54 pm Said:

    Dr Koh is smart dude… Malaysians living in Penang should find a way to keep him doing good works for us people. Political climate will definitely change. With changes taking place new possibilities appear on the horizon.

69. Steeky, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:56 pm Said:

    Thanks Guys for the info… !!! Hey… to dear Lilian and the Whole Great Bunch of you Grrreat people here… !!! What A Nite !!! Truly Thanks !!!

70. doitquick, on March 8th, 2008 at 10:59 pm Said:

    i cant help but give my same comments here too..

    Alleluia,.. the change tsunami is sweeping the country.
    Penang has a new government. Dare we hope for more upsets..
    Hats off to all Malaysians for votting for this change.
    Thank you Lord for hearing the voices of your people..

    We pray that the new Penang government will lead the way to show the arrogant BN government how the state should be governed, and what is the meaning of accountability. We pray the DAP/PKR/PAS government will always listen to the people and govern with dignity and responsibility.

    Samy velu is gone, kaveas is gone, sharizat is gone too!!
    all the Ling and Lim sons also blown away

    ALL citizens should pause a moment and thank God/Allah for this blessing..

71. Steeky, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:04 pm Said:

    Thank God…. ~~~!!! Really really Thank God !!!

72. moo, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:05 pm Said:

    congrats Lilian. so happy for the Penangites! although I’m all the way from Kch. Our DAP Chong Chieng Jen won, I’m so happy also. but Sarawak loses all except Kch. I hope Kuching/sarawak can rule over the government like Penang! because our CM is unforgivable.

73. slowcatchupkuan, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:06 pm Said:

    whoa!!! BN lose teruk teruk this time. congrates on penang win

74. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:07 pm Said:

    Oh crap. Now I’m worries the North states seems to be dominated by PAS. Hope they are moderate and can unite Malaysia and not force Islam down everyone’s throats.

75. Hobart Lim Zi Ying, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:10 pm Said:

    Confirmed results are coming in slowly over the news and it seems most likely BN would lose Penang. Koh Tsu Koon would be giving a press conference soon, which should also mean that Penang is probably lost. Who’s the next CM then? That’s the big question.

    On other unconfirmed news, Kedah has fallen to opposition.

76. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:11 pm Said:

    NTV7 is good lah. Really pertinent issues. And the pro-BN Dr. Rizal from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is being slapped left and right by Honey. Go Honey, go Honey, go Honey!

    She looks she’s like Lilian’s sister. Ahahahahaha.

77. alexallied, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:12 pm Said:

    We need more bloggers in Sarawak! or perhaps, higher Internet penetration rates. Money talks here in Sarawak.

    Dan: If Barisan Nasional DID (TOUCHWOOD) fall to the hands of opposition in its entirety, then Islam would definitely be forced upon everyone.

    But you can’t force the willing, can you?

    After all, “the boss” made the decision.

87. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:36 pm Said:

    Hello Pro-BN Carmen: Don’t worry, your BN will not lose the simple majority. As it is, BN is forcing Islam down everyone’s throats with the declaration that Malaysia is a Islamic state vs. a secular state as guaranteed by the Constittuion. Also, there is rampant, unnecessary Islamization of national schools, body-snatchings, overzealous raids by Jawi perverts.

88. Clifford, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:37 pm Said:

    Damm it, malaysiakini website had been blocked.(Not sure it is “them” anot.)

89. Carmen, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:41 pm Said:

    I don’t see you being an Islam right now, do I? And I don’t see what’s the problem with the Islam religion either.

    It’s the extremists that I have an issue with.

90. Dan, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:45 pm Said:

    Carmen: Then we agree. I never said I have a problem with Islam, it is a noble religion that teaches tolerance and we have existed in harmony for many decades now. Until the BN tried to out-Islam PAS to stoke up religious paranoia. There are Muslim extremists in both UMNO and PAS. So, what’s your beef, exactly, “boss”? You’re the only one here who seems to be sour-faced. UMNO cybertrooper?

91. POTBLACK, on March 8th, 2008 at 11:47 pm Said:

    Can we leave out speculations on Islamic state and who’s the next CM to some other day? Let us not bring this debate at this thread / post.

    The word seems more of a propaganda to me than anything.

     It is believed that DAP has named party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng as the next chief minister of Penang. DAP won all 19 state seats it contested in Penang with PKR winning six and Pas two. There are 40 state seats in Penang.

     Khairy won by about 5k seats. Chegu Bard garnered 20k seats but could not beat Khairy. Hishamuddin won by 11k. Kayveas is out. Selangor state BN take a huge beating. New faces to see in our Parliament include Sivarasa (Subang), Gobind Singh (Puchong) and the return of Wee Choo Keong (Wangsa Maju). FT BN lost badly except for Zulhasnan (Setiawangsa) and Tengku Adnan (Putrajaya). DAP won 11 state seats in Selangor as of now and 8 in Negeri Sembilan.

105. Choonie, on March 9th, 2008 at 12:25 am Said:

     Selangor, Penang, Kelantan and Kedah have fallen. Next on the list is Perak – with 6 more seats to go before it falls into opposition’s hands. 20+ seats are still unannounced.

     Born in Kuwait, did his schooling in Singapore,then went on to Oxford – all of the sudden he’s a legit Rembau kampung boy/mat rempit who will be sitting in Parliament when it’s called to session.

     Congratulations to Yang Berhormat Lim Guan Eng – new CM of Penang. DAP will form state govt with PKR and hopes that PAS will help.

     PAS and PKR won 40 out of 45 state seats in Kelantan. Last elections, it was just 23.

     Everyone is waiting for outcome of Perak’s state seats results.

     BN has not yet won simple majority as yet.

129. Victor, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:08 am Said:

     Opposition will take Perak if current trend continues. This result, I daresay, is the worse defeat BN has suffered. Even worse than 1969.

130. Clifford, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:08 am Said:

     Where to see the results of Perak?

     (is with meaning the party that is leading)

     13 seats remain unannounced.

141. pablopabla, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:25 am Said:

     Bryan: Gary is just a little bit excited that’s all. Most of us are (are there any BN supporters here?). But we must all remember to celebrate in a civil manner and not call other people names. The people showed their power and now, it’s time for the people to show dignity and graciousness in victory.

144. Victor, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:30 am Said:

     the opposition is leading in 28 of the 59 Perak State Seats. They need to mantain it and win 2 more seats to form government. (Assuming PAS and DAP cooperate)

145. Bryan, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:32 am Said:

     Yea Pablo, I am too happy to see the results and hope we don’t over-celebrate in any manner.

     I seldom pray. But I did this afternoon. Praying that there will be a change in Penang and national politics so that there will be a future for my 5 months baby. The prayer has been granted.

     It’s now time for the DAP/PKR/PAS pact to deliver.

152. Victor, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:39 am Said:

     Perak still many seats unannounced. Will updated as soon as results are avalible.

156. Victor, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:44 am Said:

     BN retains Terengannu by a razor thin margin – 17-15 seats. Dang. Maybe PAS can get someone to cross the floor.

157. isana, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:45 am Said:

     It is past 1.30am. Just read opposition took 4 states, penang, kedah, kelantan and selangor. Perak maybe on the way too.
     Congrats to DAP, PKR and PAS! Please work to confirm people’s confidence in you. Cooperate with each other. Dont impose, dont assume. Take care of the minorities. Election is like marriage..courting for 5 years and you get consent on election day. No short cut as BN are finding out the hardway.
     BN are like a wounded animal, they will come back with a vengeance. Your(opposition) only safeguard is to work with the masses.
     All the best!

158. pablopabla, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:48 am Said:

     Rafidah won by small majority (less than 3k, I think).

     It is now 112 BN and 50 non-Bn at Parliament. Simple majority achieved by BN to form Govt of Malaysia. Now, to see whether non-BN can get another 25 seats to prevent 2/3 majority.

159. Clifford, on March 9th, 2008 at 1:48 am Said:

     Perak:
     1 out of 13 annouced; Tajol Rosli wins the sit, opposite lost 1 seat.

     But the state Election Commission appears to have suffered a computer glitch, which has delayed the announcement of the results.

     Lilian: I am not sure what arrangement will be reached, but I am sure DAP will have CM ship in Perak. At this rate, DAP will be able to form government on its own. How to appease the Malay majority state however, will be another problem. Perhaps a deputy CM for PKR/PAS or perhaps a Malay DAP CM?

     Too bad LKS didnt stand in a state seat. He can’t be CM

Get with the times and stop being corny, man! Some soothing New Age or classical music would have been less corny. He didn’t even seem to say anything.
