Batang Ai & the two Bukits : The final push

By Haris Ibrahim,

We got word today that marine police had been intimidating the fishermen operating illegally in Kuala Sepetang.

Seems they were asked to disclose their ic numbers and to not turn up at the polling stations tomorrow.

You can guess what the gameplan is.

We are trying to arrange for a team to go out there to speak to some of the locals and at the same time launch the following sms campaign that is applicable in all three by-elections.

delCapo came up with the English and Sanjiun did the Chinese translation.

“Old dying snake (BN) is taking last desperate bites. DO NOT be intimidated by this old dying snake…. NO to BN! Come out & vote early… come out with family/friends/neighbours”

老残蛇国阵如今在做垂死挣扎。
请别被老残蛇的伎俩吓倒。
拒绝国阵!
请尽早前来投票,并转告和携带您的家人/朋友/邻居。

Remember the earlier two sms’s that were launched at the very beginning. Well here they are again, together with Chinese translations, again courtesy of Sanjiun.

Rakyat menolak politik kaum UMNO / BN. Politik kaum UMNO / BN hancurkan perpaduan rakyat. Jangan diperdayakan dengan politik kaum UMNO / BN. Politik Pakatan Rakyat menyatukan rakyat. Rakyat sehati sejiwa menyelamatkan negara yang dicintai. Undilah PAS / PKR pada 7/4/2009. Hidup rakyat. Sebar kpd kwn2 di Btg Ai / Bkt Gantang / Bkt Selambau

人民唾弃巫统/国阵的种族政治!种族政治阻碍全民团结。请不要被巫统/国阵的种族政治谎言骗倒。民联重视全民团结。全民必须团结,以拯救国土。请在7/4/2009,投回教党/公正党一票。人民万岁!请把此讯息转发给所有武吉干当/巴当艾/武吉士南卯的朋友。

Media massa arus p’dana akan m’perdayakan rkyt & m’cari helah utk gagalkan PAS di Bkt Gantang dan PKR di Btg Ai / Bkt Selambau dgn berita palsu - utk menanam rasa syak wasangka terhadap PAS & PKR. Jom boikot! Jgn beli s/kabar. Jgn p’caya berita radio/TV. Sebarkan kpd kwn2 di Bkt Gantang / Btg Ai / Bkt Selambau.

主流媒体欺骗人民,利用谎言制造猜疑,离间和打击武吉干当回教党和巴当艾/武吉士南卯公正党。请杯葛主流媒体/报章。勿轻易相信电视/电台新闻。请把此讯息转发给所有武吉干当/巴当艾/武吉士南卯的朋友。

And here’s a few more sms’s worth sending out to people you know may be voting tomorrow in any one of the three constituencies, all courtesy of Sanjiun.

“A vote for Pakatan Rakyat (Nizar/ PAS), is a vote AGAINST Najib”

给民联(回教党候选人尼查)的一票,就是反对纳吉的一票!

“Vote Nizar to Parliament to fight for Perak on federal level”

请投尼查一票!把他送入国会,为霹雳人民请命!

People, all the campaigning that could conceivably have been done has been done.

Today, our BR blogging team is on standby to track any last minute spin-doctoring by BN and, if need be, to address the same.

Tomorrow, many will be deployed in both Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau with a view to bringing you the most up-to-date news to you through the day and night as the results are released.

You can play your part in trying to bring about the change we all so desperately want and deserve.

Send these sms’s out to every person you know will be voting in any one of the constituencies.

Ask them to send it out to others whom they know will be voting, too.

Please ask voters to go out early to vote so as to not allow room for the ‘pengundi hantu’ to impact on the results tomorrow.

God save this country.
