From Malaysiakini so far
10am: In the Sekolah Menengah Kamaruddin, Kuala Kubu Bahru – a Malay-majority area – BN election workers appear to dominate all the strategic spots along the main roads leading to the school. Twenty black-clad BN workers arrive.
9.55am: In Rasa, Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor exco Ronnie Liu advises Pakatan supporters not give in to provocations from the BN side.
His advice came soon after a heated verbal match between the two sides when a BN man shouted “lanciau” at Pakatan supporters.
Police try to persuade some 20 BN supporters to move to the other side road to separate the two groups. But BN supporters would not budge. The more vocal BN supporters instead move to stand closer to the Pakatan people. They cry “punggung kasi” when Pakatan chant “reformasi”.
9.45am: MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek arrives at the Chinese-majority area of Kg Baru Kelompang. Pakatan supporters opposite of MCA ‘pondok panas’ mocks him with “Dato, marilah sini ambil gambar.”
Chus smiles and waves. He says he is confident BN will emerge victorious. “Saya yakin BN akan menang, tapi dari segi peratus tak tau.”
He however concedes that the MCA campaign strategy, which only focus on the new village issue and local development, has been unable to attract the younger Chinese residents and out-of-town voters.
When asked whether he is not confident of a BN win, he said: “Don’t put words into my mouth. I did not say this. That’s why sometimes I don’t like to meet reporters.”
9.42am: The BN supporters in Rasa, Kuala Kubu Bahru (a Chinese-majority area) outnumber Pakatan’s by about 20 people. They jeer at cars that donned PKR flags, some attempt to cover windows of the slow-moving cars with BN flags.
The two sides, numbering about 70 people, almost clash when one protestor who is against the building a TNB power line in Rawang got agitated and wanted to go over to confront the BN side. Police step in to restore peace.
The BN side comprises mostly Malay youths, while those on the Pakatan side are mainly middle-aged Chinese. The BN supporters jeer at the few Malays standing on the Pakatan side with remarks such as “Melayu bodoh! Tak malu ke anak nampak?”
Pakatan supporters yell “Reformasi” and BN side answers “Sudah Basi”.
9.30am: Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin visits the BN ‘pondok panas’ at the Malay-majority area of Sungai Buaya. There are around 100 supporters from both BN and Pakatan standing on both sides of the road canvassing votes for their respective candidates.
9.24am: BN has cleverly set up its ‘pondok panas’ (polling information booth) at a resident’s house opposite the polling station at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan KKB, a Malay-Majority area. However, no PKR ‘pondok panas’ could be seen.
Quite a number of voters are queuing to vote, mostly women and the elderly. Both BN and Pakatan Rakyat have around 20 supporters standing on both sides of the road, persuading voters who passed by to vote for their respective coalition.
When no voter is seen passing the gauntlet, both sides argue over whether on a number of national issues – the Pakatan supporters raise the issue of government corruption while the BN side says some Malaysians don’t work hard enough and they put the blame on government.
Some vehicles passing the polling station honk in support of the flag-waving supporters, which immediately draws shouts of acknowledgment from the crowd.
9.10am: BN candidate P Kamalanathan leaves Sungai Choh for other polling stations. He describes the reception from the voters as “fantastic, wonderful, marvelous and outstanding”.
“I’m very, very happy and excited. I’m getting ready to go to a few more places. It’s the voters’ decision now. The voters of Hulu Selangor are smart… They know what’s wrong and what’s right.”
He is off to a polling station in Serendah.
9am: In Sungai Choh, most of the early voters are elderly residents. The Election Commission officers and the police are not letting reporters to talk to them.
BN candidate P Kamalanathan visits the polling station at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Choh. Villagers are checking their polling details with the EC information counters.
Both candidates – Kamalanathan and PKR’s Zaid Ibrahim – are not registered voters in the Hulu Selangor constitutency. Kamalanathan is a voter in Sungai Siput, Perak, while Zaid is voter in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
8.55am: The traffic starts to become congested in Rasa, Kuala Kubu Bahru, with the police helping to ease the flow. Rasa is a majority Chinese area – it has the largest number of Chinese voters in the Kuala Kubu Bahru state constituency.
A steady stream of voters, both young and old, are going into the polling station. Shopkeepers around the town area have all gone to vote early.
8.50am: The traffic from Kuala Kubu Bahru to Kalumpang is smooth. There are only a few cars on the road. The mostly Chinese voters in Kg Baru Kalumpan are going to the polling station in Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Kalumpang to cast their votes.
8.42am: In Kuala Kubu Bahru, despite warnings from the Election Commission yesterday, PKR has set up information booths for voters to check their polling stations.
But counter operator who identify himself as Mr Siaw said that the EC, which has also set up several booths for the purpose, have not told them to close the counters.
One voter found that she has been moved to Bukit Sentosa and will be ferried to her new polling station by PKR election workers.
A shouting match ensues between BN and PKR election workers who are lined up by the polling centre. MIC supporters in motorcycles are revving their bikes in between the two groups.

P94 “PUSING BALIK”Pakatan/BN 50/50
Yesterday it was clear that BN has taken a substantial lead in the run up to polling day. The bookies odds of -300 to Pakatan by BN has taken in a lot of beating as Najib and Muhyddin and the Top Guns from BN has concentrated on the Felda settlement schemes.
But by the stroke of midnignt and early dawn the odds has somewhat “PUSING BALIK” .The presence of ToK Guru Kelantan MB and PAS Spiritual leader and other factors like the land belongs to the State but take the dividends given has somewhat reached the ground and the swing was expected. Its now level pegging for those punters who wish to make some $$$$$ for P94 Hulu Selangor.
Of course the bookies will not stand to loose. Its now 95 cents either way. if you take BN you win 95 cents if BN wins and if BN loses you lose $1.00. The same equation likewise is for those taking Pakatan bets. Whichever and Whatever the bookies stands to make a dollar or two from this by elections.
So the political boys will be putting in their last efforts to swing the votes but tomorrow it will be up to the 63593 voters of Hulu Selangor Constituency to have their say in the Ballot Boxes. They will just mark an X and we will know by nightfall who the new Member of Parliament will be for P94.
50/50 is the Call now…………..
“-300 Votes Pakatan P94 Hulu Selangor”
Who will you VOTE FOR IN P94 Hulu Selangor..?
The choice belongs to the voters of the constituency 63593 of them. After all the campaigning work has been done the byelection is like another LIVE FOOTBALL or LIVE HORSE RACING to bet for punters. The bookies have the most classified information and they are dealing with not just small $$$$ but huge amounts of Bets.
The Hulu Selangor by election has got the bookies working overtime. A week ago the odds on were BN was given a handicap of 500 votes by Pakatan. It seems now that the ODDS are heavily stacked towards a BN win.
Within a week the tables are already turning and now we hear from our informed sources that the market is “BN giving Pakatan an ODDS of 300 votes win full lose 80cents.
This statement at a PC also moved the market and it seems many punters are odds on making a good day for their pockets,” DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang today declared that an internal survey showed PKR’s Zaid Ibrahim is trailing in the Hulu Selangor by-election campaign.” Moreover there are calls for the 6000 odd voters to come back home to vote.
Whoever the winner is the punters will ensure that their man come through to beat the odds and thus this will also affect where the votes will go.
The political parties have had their say in the campaign and the final analysis will be “Where is the SMART $$$$$$$ going to..?”
Whichever and However the results the Bookies will certainly make the elections a DAY TO REMEMBER.
P94″One Win,One Fly”
The early morning newspaper BIG BOLD headlines for the STAR reads,”Some can Fly“. An Assistant Minister from Sarawak pointed out that the editors must have embarked from a flight from Air Asia and changed it from ,”Now Everyone Can Fly”
Just then one person in the group remark,”Sure One fly after this weekends by elections in P94.” Wonder whether it will be BN or Pakatan though? Who do you think it will be..?
Most airflights were grounded from New York to Asia to Paris due to the drifting volcanic ash.However in Selangor P94 the political soldiers,campaign workers and leaders from both political divides are moving and criss crossing the breadth of the constituency.
All will want to win the hearts of the voters in the area and only they the 60000 strong can decide who wins and who flies{ Poi Loh in Hockien}
Both BN and Pakatan will be at each others throats as the crucial last few days before polling day gathers momentum. The FENCE SITTERS are by far the ones who will swing the votes to who they feel deserves to win.
They will be able to judge not only on party platform,election promises,character,personality and charisma of candidate but above all how the candidate will be able to serve and assist the constituency not only in monetary/projects but also by ways of being there for them.
The voters are no more fools and they will see whether the candidate will be able to ‘ WALK HIS TALK ” . The days of LIP SERVICE has already DE -COMPOSED.
It is without a doubt not only the party symbol but also the overall candidate personality which will ensure the swing from the FENCE SITTERS in this P94 constituency.
Its up to the whole party machinery and those connected with the candidate that they ensure THE WIN. The elements of commitment and dedication by the party campaign workers will be absolutedly crucial. The Key to enter Parliament House is in the hands of the voters for one of the two candidates. P94 Hulu Selangor will have a New MP by nightfall on the April 25th 2010.
