BN's by-election wins
(The) wins [in Merlimau and Kerdau] further strengthen the recent trend where BN’s support has been increasing. Furthermore, in both victories our majorities increased. This is not something that happened in just one place... so it shows an increase in support for BN.
Najib Razak There will be no defeat for as long as we don’t give up.
Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, PAS vice president (The by-election losses) are a good reminder to us (Pakatan) to be more successful in communicating our successes and as well as our strategy forward. If we are not able to do this, then of course we will crash in the next general election.
Nurul Izzah Anwar, PKR vice president In the (2007) Ijok by-election, Pakatan lost but the in following general election (in 2008), Pakatan won the whole of Selangor.
Lim Guan Eng, DAP secretary general Debate now Taib must come clean and not act like a coward and hide behind his cronies to put to rest this issue once for all. We feel it is apt and proper that Taib take up the challenge, being the Chief Minister and the Planning and Resource Management Minister, he is the most appropriate person to set the record straight on this very important and emotive issue.
Nicholas Bawin, Sarawak PKR director of elections, urging CM Taib Mahmud to accept a public debate on native customary rights (NCR) land with Sarawak PKR chief Baru Bian Kelantan's gambling ban We cannot compromise on gambling which is also shunned by other religions too.
Takiyuddin Hassan, Kelantan state committee on Local Government, Tourism and Culture exco Exodus to Kita? I have yet to launch our massive road shows, but many have expressed interest. In Kedah, I have met with Kita leaders and I can see that most of them were former PKR members. This shows that Kita is being accepted. They want to be with me, and (want) Kita to make the political transformation in the country. Kita does not aim to become a tiny or splinter party. This party wants to become the voice that makes the policy. We want to ensure that the voice, although not in power, can at least decide who is best to rule the country or a state.
Zaid Ibrahim, president of Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (Kita), saying PKR members would join his party 'Don’t distort' Quote accurately what I say. Don’t distort it. Raja Nong Chik, Human Resources Minister S Subramaniam and I have been doing our best to provide for the Bukit Jalil estate people. If not for us, their homes in Bukit Jalil would have been demolished a long time ago.
M Saravanan, deputy Federal Territories minister, to Tamil dailies Tamil Nesan, Makkal Osai and Malaysia Nanban over issues relating to the relocation of Bukit Jalil estate residents Nazri vs Ibrahim Ali I have no problem in facing any candidate, including Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali.
Nazri Aziz, minister in the Prime Minister's Department, challenging UMNO's right wing offshoot Perkasa to contest the election Perkasa is not a political organisation. As a person who is 'smart' Nazri knows this. Why is he challenging Perkasa in a political contest? We are just airing our views, if he wants to criticise our suggestions then do so (in an appropriate manner)... Don't be childish.
Ibrahim Ali, Perkasa chief Twitter, Facebook ban? Yes. Nazri explained it was only to prevent congestion. Only a few hours.
Abdul Rahman Dahlan, Kota Belud MP, on inaccessibililty of the two popular websites within Parliament's network Sodomy trial He was not induced or threatened to do it. There was no oppression. Even if the evidence gained is obtained though illegal means, it is admissable based on its relevancy.
Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, solicitor-general II, denying that the authorities employed trickery in getting evidence for the Anwar Ibrahim sodomy case |
