DO YOU THINK BARISAN NASIONAL WILL NOT CONTEST IN PENANTI STATE BY-ELECTIONS?

The speculation is that the Barisan Nasional will not contest in the forthcoming Penanti State by-elections after the resignation of PKR Assemblyman and former Deputy Penang Chief Minister 1 Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin over alleged corruption and over recent reports by Prime Minister and BN Chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak that its a waste of time, energy and money holding a by-elections over resignations.

Look at the arrogance of UMNO who lead the Barisan Nasional, it is really unbelievable that they will not contest, although the odds at Penanti are that its a stronghold of the Opposition and with current developments in Perak, the voting trend would even be more disastrous since the judiciary are also become 'lawmakers' and read the Federal Constitution according to the wishes of their 'masters'.

But whatever the decision, the Opposition will once again secure this seat comfortably unless some form of 'dirty' tricks are employed by this 'uncaring corrupted and arrogant' UMNO dominated Barisan Nasional front.

I think they will contest.

However, in the event that they do not, I suspect an "independent" candidate will also be infused into the equation to create issues that the BN will obviously want to exploit & test their "popularity".

To quote the Rev Jesse Jackson when he was running for the Democratic Presidential candidacy some 20 years ago - "If I run, I may lose. If I don't run, I WILL lose".
