  • The act to boycott or cast spoilt votes are actually a ploy devised by UmnoBN on the fear of loosing. The less than wider scope of survey conducted by political analysts are not in sync with the actual sentiments on the ground. Even the pro UmnoBn analyst are trying very hard to skew the perceptions. Datas from their research group are base more from their own supporters view with a sole purpose to change the dynamic of voting patterns. Applying the reverse psychology to both the old and younger set voters in believing that the opposition fronts are senselessly bickering. They are actually trying hard to allude and instigate the voters to either boycott or spoilt the votes. The opposition has some hard work to do here and convince the masses that their houses are in order and vote without fear. I believe the tsunami of disgust and hatred for UmnoBn by all the rakyat irrespective of races will be hella of phenomenal never ever seen since independence. Whether it is a straight fight or three corner or even the devious gerrymandering will not suffice for UmnoBn to win at all. UmnoBn has taken their 60 years of regime for granted and self wallowing in false mastery of dominance. Anyway good riddance!!!!
