the final countdown !!!

1.15pm-26-8-2008: Word from friends on the ground- Anwar IS indeed on the way to Parliament for sure and it is now only the question of the margin to entertain the rakyat as a little over 50% of the electoral have already come out to vote.

up-dates:11.15 am.
Reports by Gus on his rounds with other friends came many times and from various spots along the way to the polling stations on my hand-phone as Pet, Haris, Bernard and I were positioned at the "blog-centre" at Mahaa Sri Restuarant some miles away from Permatang Pauh. Minor skirmishes and provocations from morons out to create trouble were reported but nothing of grave concern.

up-dates: 10.50am.-from Permatang Pauh.(as observed by Gus on the spot )
The people of Permatang Pauh chose to walk on the BR side of the road rather then the BN side to the polling stations. Also reported was voters checking the electoral roll in the BN side had their ic's photo-stated and were given a "red string" to wear.....hmmmm....I wonder why ??

up-dates: 2:30pm.
Had to head back to Kuala Lumpur....urgent business needs to be attended. So sorry folks you just have to go to zorro or haris to get the latest on-the-spot news.On the way saw at least 7 FRU trucks heading towards Permatang Pauh and 4 military trucks going in the same direction in heavy thunder-storm near Sungei Bakap....and I arrived into Kuala Lumpur around 7:30pm after a couple of stops.

But the general feeling is good.....change is always good !!

latest up-date:10:20pm

Got word from Permatang Pauh that Guan Eng has arrived at Institut Penguruan Tuanku Bainun where the official results will be announced later where thousands of PKR supporters have gathered.A terrific party is immenent and everyone is in high spirits .....nobody is in the mood to cause any trouble as victory parties are for the victors !!

breaking news ! breaking news ! breaking news !

And here's the biggie ! Anwar has won the Permatang Pauh seat by a whopping 15,671 votes !!

So let the show begin ! Cheers !
