Ominous sign: Democracy died and R.I.P.?



First they damaged the marble plaque. Then they poured a black substance to cover the inscriptions. Still not satisfied, probably could not sleep, someone gave the order to remove it altogether. How petty could one get?

Democratic spirit should be in us, not in the plaque, which was just a symbol. What good is it to remove it? Eyesore? Obstruction to traffic? Is this Zambry's way to win the public over?

I find it strange that Najib announced BN's candidate for Bukit Gantang when he was in Taiping! I wonder if the billboard with his pictures (together with Azalina and Pak Lah)at the overhead bridge next to Bukit Gantang service area) splashed with red paint and taken off, has been replaced. Whoever selected as candidate, is going to be a sacrificial lamb because Najib has announced that there won't be any last minute development projects during campaigning. If BN could not win with millions spent in Permatang Pauh and Kuala Terengganu, is it going to win without? Probably given up even before trying. If Nizar is contesting under Pakatan, his opponent might even lose his deposit!
