Is the Selangor state government not run by PKR, PAS and DAP?

The SABM voters registration team was at the Jom Daftar Undi organised by the Sekretariat Belia Negeri Selangor (SBNS) under the portfolio of the MB of Selangor, last weekend.

Approached by SBNS to help out at the Jom Daftar Undi, we were told that they couldn't find any Penolong Registrar to be at the event for voters' registration.

This was an event focused on attracting the youngsters to register as a voter. And yet, a few days before the event, they were without any Penolong Registrar to register the crowd. They asked if SABM could get them anyone to do so.
(Penolong Registrar is someone appointed by the SPR to do registration of voters on behalf of SPR)

And we did, we managed to get the Penolong Registrar who always help us at our Voters' Registration event to help at the Jom Undi Daftar. And guess where does this Penolong Registrar come from?

SABM is still in the midst of getting our own team to be appointed as Penolong Registrar by the SPR. Apparently, only those from the political parties or ex-civil servants can be a Penolong Registrar... As such, whenever we have any Voters Registration event, we need help from our Penolong Registrar friends in any of the political parties, until we have our own. For this instance, we managed to get help from DAP.

Yes, we BRIDGED the SBNS from the Selangor state government with the Penolong Registrar from DAP!

And we thought that all these while the Selangor state government is run by PKR, PAS and DAP! It left us wonder what went wrong, now that they need a third party to be a link between the state government and DAP.
Shouldn't there be a direct connection?
Are not the some of the Selangor State Exco from DAP?
If yes, why such simple task cannot be arranged?

Imagine our shock and disbelief upon knowing this!

After awhile, I came to the conclusion that, either the State Excos are not too bothered about the state government's affair (perhaps their duty is only to show up at functions giving speeches and shaking hands)
or
the organiser was just simply inefficient...

Anyway, SABM were glad to be of help. But we sure hope that this incident will not repeat again. There should be better communication between the two!

BP: The fight in Teluk Kemang this morning

Permatang Pasir YM was seen at the SK Teluk Kemang this morning.

Suddenly everyone was rushing to the front.

A water bottle was thrown from BN's side. Then the water-bottle-war started from both side of the camp. The situation was getting out of control. It was scary!

The situation was so chaotic.

Two guys were arrested by the police.

This one.

and this one.

Don't know which party are they from though.

Bagan Pinang Nomination Day: Deeper into the BR's camp

The side with the people from all walk of life, of different ethnicity, religions and cultures. The one where everyone embraces each other as the other fellow anak Bangsa Malaysia, always greeting one another with a smile.

Here, we saw children running around, elderly folks standing or sitting, talking to their friends, the youth dancing and playing music and family staying connected to each other while looking at the happenings.

All these people, the Rakyats, the commoners, came with one hope. It is change that we want. Will the people's voice be heard? Will this election be a fair one? Will justice be seen in this 9th by-elections?

9th by-election in the 9th State after March 2008? I wouldn't be surprise if the PR wins.

Family were there too.

:) The future of our nation.

Old folks, children, women - you find them all here.

Bagan Pinang Nomination Day: Deeper into the BN's camp

I never imagine myself having the courage to step into the BN's camp to snap photos. I was not brave enough to do so when I was in KT, felt rather dangerous though.

However, this time, I mustered enough courage to walk into their side. Probably the heavy presence of the police helped. It didn't seem as scary as I expected. Many supporters were willing to have their pictures taken, thinking that I'm from some kind of online press. *hehe*

What I noticed was, most of their supporters consisted of youngsters and youth. I barely see any elderly citizen, children or family... unlike those I've seen in the Barisan Rakyat's camp.

I shall let the pictures speak for itself. ;p
