No matter what the outcome of the by-election polling result at Permatang Pauh, Barisan Nasional will lose.
If PKR, Anwar’s party get the majority vote, then Anwar is one step closer to achieving his goal of finally becoming the next Malaysian Prime Minister.
On the other hand, if BN gets the majority vote, then Anwar and the rest of his gang will accuse BN of cheating and rigging the voting system. That has always been the response from the opposition party whenever they loses. Everybody knows that Barisan National can never win in a fair election, so they say.
Civil unrest occurs. ‘Pilihan raya‘ becomes ‘pilihan jalanraya‘. Whatever the result is B.N. loses.
Local media will cover this and the Anwar’s sex scandal case. The rest of Malaysia will be glued to this for a couple of weeks, or at least until Akademi Fantasia or other reality type TV shows steals the people’s attention.
Just my two cents.
