Penanti made out to be boring

Though the mainstream media played down on the victory, PKR's Deputy Chief Minister designate, Dr. Othman did not have it easy. Congratulations!

Last night, we were out and forgotten about the by-election in Penanti. By the time I switched on for the 12.00 midnight news, the PKR victory was slotted after a few other news items. My wife assumed that no news or delayed news meant good news for Pakatan or bad news for BN. I tried to check out Dr. Othman's name in yesterday's Star and the by-election was really hidden. Not only that! There was no mention of his name at all! Like the saying, 'the silence was deafening', it was like, 'the omission was glaring'!

With Umno not contesting, Aminah's expose hogged the limelight but it had proven to be ineffective in terms of damaging PKR. This is good for democracy because it will discourage future attempts at using dirty tricks for political gains.

Aminah here, and Anifah in USA, were like candidates applying for jobs, who instead of selling their good points, discredit others instead, and the attempts backfired.
