I was at the nomination centre in Bukit Mertajam for the Penanti by-election as I have written here.
No big shakes at all, there seemed to be more policemen (uniformed and non-uniformed) than supporters. There were TWO helicopters hovering above - makdatok, buang-buang duit.
About 1,000 supporters turned up.
And, as usual, we reporters chased all the candidates before and after their names were officially announced.
I was joined by about half a dozen other journalists when we stopped to talk to Aminah Abdullah, a former Penang PKR leader and one of the four contestants.
A reporter asked why she chose the key symbol as her logo. This was an expected question to ask.
Yet, to my surprise, a friend beside her gave her a notebook with neatly written answers.
She was reading these notes when answering.
Another question, and she got another set of written answers.
In simple words, I was not impressed at all.
If you cannot even trust yourself or have the confidence to answer basic questions on your platform and programmes without without having to refer to handwritten notes, how are you going to solve people's problems?
Madam ADUN, our longkang tersumbat, how?
Lemme see whether I can answer you from my notebook, okay!
She had announced that she wanted to be a candidate weeks before the others - ie she should by now have rehearsed all the answers and be able to face down reporters easily.
So now,
I find it highly intriguing that New Straits Times, The Star, Utusan all playing up her claims that PKR wanted to buy her off so that she would not contest.
Both NST and The Star put the stories on page 1 for two days running already!!!
As if there are no other major news?
Of course people out there will claim that the media has been told to paint PKR black.
To me though, a person who claimed to be a leader but yet who cannot answer confidently basic questions about why she is running for office should be given a maximum of RM8 as payoff, not RM80,000 - if true at all.
Buang masa saja.

A drag queen looking for a big pay day.... The donkey made it big in Perak...So the logic is "if an ass can make big bucks, why not a drag queen?"
Do not easily forget that this woman was the Penang Wanita KeAdilan Chief for so many years since the day KeAdilan was born. She was their leader, trusted by Anwar to lead wanita wing. You said she's worth $8, then anWar and his merrymen would be just a penny more.
windtalker,
since i don't support either side or any party, yes, u are right, anwar and his merrymen are worth just the same!
mati aku kena marah dengan rakan2 pkr, tapi itulah perasaan hamba dengan puak yg suka main politik ni, nak menang saja (di perak), bila kalah perangai buruk dan tuduh orang macam2.
