This victory is not due to Anwar Ibrahim alone, or the cooperations of Barisan Rakyat, or bloggers.



Friends, the so-called pundits and political analysts from within and without the country, most of whom confined to the comforts of their air-con chambers, with piles of books stacked on their shelves, were confidently predicting that the mighty Barisan Nasional would easily emerge with a two-thirds majority in Parliament. Some even went so far as to predict a BN victory in Kelantan.

They thought BN's 3Ms - media, machinery and money, were insurmountable since the Opposition was fractured. And yet we won. How? Why?

This victory is not due to Anwar Ibrahim alone, or the cooperations of Barisan Rakyat, or bloggers.

Our enemies too contributed towards our victory. They delivered this victory on a silver platter - Hishammuddin's Keris, Zam's blabbering, Mahathir's sulking, Nazri's histrionics, Khairy's arrogance, Abdullah's broken promises, lies, private jet, Michelle's Yeoh's shoulders, C4 blasted Altantuya, Attorney General, Election Commission, BERSIH, Hindraf, Lingam Tape, MBs call for zero Opposition, temple demolition, body snatching, Bible confiscation, banning the use of 'Allah' and corruption in high places, Zakaria's palace. I can go on and on.

Why didn't the media seek the views and predictions of those unqualified pundits perched on stools at the roadside warongs with a cigarette in one hand and black coffee in the other? Yes, they knew better than University Professors!

I met a few of them who even predicted a BR victory if it could bag half the seats in East Malaysia.

Every single "soothsayer cum professor" fell flat on his face while the warong pundits puffed away with protruding chests, with a "Didn't I tell you so?" look.
