KT Election

Kuala Terrenganu can be considered as BN stronghold. However, the 12th General Election has send a powerful message to the government and people. Makkal Sakhti (people's power). In other words, the people has finally awakened. No longer enjoying the majority support from the people, BN need to change its way to ensure it can continue to rule the federal government. However, turmoil continued in BN since the 12th General Election and PR is gaining a strong momentum.



In Kuala Terrenganu by-election, PAS won with a majority about 2000 votes. Although there are conflicts between DAP and PAS in the hudud issue, the supremos in both sides are willingly to discuss the issue in the PR meeting. Yet, BN is using the said issue to attack PR. Nevertheless, political analysts have claimed that the hudud issue is not the main factor that determine the outcome of KT by-election. Rather, it is the personality of the candidates that determine the outcome of the election. PAS candidate, Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut, PAS candidate appeared as a friendly and likable candidate. Nevertheless, Wan Ahmad Farid too has followed the same strategy. As mentioned earlier, KT is BN stronghold, however, the air for change since the 12th General Election is still "hot". That is the reason why both candidates have equal chances to win. Below, is the reason why both candidates will win (from Malaysiakini) :-

PAS's victory continues to strengthen PR. However, the hudud issue must be resolve. DAP has consistently go against the idea of whereby religion beliefs become the basis of politics. PAS however is adamant with its stand. How can the issue be resolve? One thing for sure is, if there are no solution achieved, DAP might resign from PR when PR gained sufficient MPs to change the federal constitutions.
