Manek Urai -Waterloo for UMNO?

Another battle to win the hearts of the Malays is in the offing, this time at Manek Urai in Kelantan.

The last battle at Penanti was a no-contest because UMNO backed out to ‘save the tax payers money ‘(read – can’t win). This time, at Manek Urai, UMNO feels that this election is “money well spent” (read – can win).

As 95% of the 12,293 registered voters in Manek Urai are Malays, this will really be a battle between PAS & UMNO.

For UMNO, it realizes that Manek Urai can be its Waterloo and they must win this seat. Anything else would mean disaster.For PAS, a clear victory would mean that they and not UMNO have the support of the Malays. This victory will further boost PAKATAN’s morale and signal that they are on course to take over Putrajaya.

With the overthrow of the Perak State Govt. fresh in the minds of all Malaysians, the Malays of Manek Urai will the opportunity to punish UMNO for this injustice, just like their brethren in Bukit Gantang and Penanti have.

My message to the voters of Manek Urai:

Remember Perak. Vote Pakatan!
