NO, THE UCSI SURVEY WAS WRONG!

1. It predicted that the winning majority would be reduced by 2,000, that is, from 6,824 to 4,824. The unofficial results show a majority of 6,451. That is a drop of about 500. Not bad when the voter turnout fell from 88% to 72%.

2. 54.25%  would vote for PKR’s Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

No, Kak Wan received 61.9%of the votes.

PEOPLE SAY THAT PKR WILL WIN BUT MANY ASK, “BY HOW MANY VOTES?”

PKR won in 2013 by a majority of 6,824 votes.

The UCSI university poll spoke to 400 voters in a constituency of almost 40,000 voters. That’s 1% of the constituency.

WOW, they spoke to ONE PERCENT!

And BOLDLY predicts a win for PKR but with 2,000 fewer votes.

We shall see how good their polling and prediction are.

Kajang by-election: PR tries to blackmail me, says Chew

KAJANG: Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for Kajang by-election Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun today lambasted Pakatan Rakyat (PR) for allegedly trying to blackmail her by spreading false information on her quitting as deputy minister in 2010.

Chew, who is MCA vice president, said party members have found leaflets which claimed that she stepped down as Women, Family and Community Development deputy minister allegedly for abusing an Indonesian maid.

Chew said the leaflets, mainly distributed in the Malay-majority area in Kajang constituency, is a bid to tarnish her reputation.

“The leaflet claims that I quit as deputy minister because I abused my Indonesian maid.

“It (the leaflet) claims (that) I resigned for fear that I will be charged in court.

“It is ridiculous. I resigned as deputy minister because I uphold my own political principle,” she said, adding that the leaflet was also distributed to over 2,500 people during a ceramah at Kampung Bukit Angkat, here, last night.

Chew said she is disappointed with the dirty strategy to discredit her.

Molotov cocktail thrown at PKR centre

PKR has made a police report and informed the EC after a molotov cocktail was thrown at the party’s by-election operation centre this morning.

KAJANG: A molotov cocktail was thrown at PKR’s Taman Kajang Baru’s by-election operation centre early this morning, just a day before voters go to the polls.

Sri Andalas assemblyman Xavier Jayakumar said the molotov cocktail was thrown into the centre between 3am and 6am but did not expolode probably because it was raining and landed on soft ground.

“A police report has been lodged and the Election Comission has been informed. This dirty tactic is believed to carried out by our opponents to scare our election machinery.

“We hope that the authorities can ensure safety during this by-election since it is a high profile by-election with all the ministers coming,” he said.

Police have taken the bottle for further investigation.

PKR feels turnout jitters on eve of polling

Having triggered the Kajang by-election through the resignation of incumbent Lee Chin Cheh, the likelihood of a low voter turnout tomorrow is now plaguing the PKR camp.

“We are cautiously optimistic that people will come back… Turnout is crucial and I urge everyone to come back home to vote. If you love Kajang, come back and make a decision,” PKR’s Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tsin said in an impassioned appeal.

PKR’s fear of a low turnout is driven by the fact that the Kajang by-election has not panned out to be the “game-changer” the party had hoped it to be.
…

If PKR candidate Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail wins, as pundits expect her to, the Selangor legislative assembly remains at status quo.

If the unlikely happens and underdog Chew Mei Fun takes the seat, one more opposition member among Pakatan Rakyat’s super majority would hardly rock the boat.

SURVEY PERIOD: 18-20 MARCH 2014

Based on telephone and face-to-face interviews with 400 voters, UCSI Poll Research Centre founder Ngerng Miang Hong concluded:

1. 54.25%  will vote for PKR’s Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
2. 34.5% will vote for BN’s Chew Mei Fun. Of these, 54% are Malays.
3. 11.25 are undecided.

“If you split the undecided votes (with the same proportions of those supporting PKR and BN) we can see that BN has raised their support compared to 2013,” he told reporters today.

In the 13th general election, 37 percent of Malay voters in Kajang voted for PKR, but the party now claims it has raised its support to 45 percent over the campaigning period.

PKR took 58 percent of the votes, BN 38 percent while Independent candidates garnered the rest in GE13.
