As a measure to spur a high turnout during the Permatang Pauh by-election on August 26 (Tuesday), Penang CM Lim Guan Eng declared the polling day for the crucial Permatang Pauh by-election, has been declared a special public holiday in Penang by the state government.

"The Penang state government has been mulling over the decision ever since the Elections Commission fixed a working day on Tuesday August 26 as polling day in defiance of public opinion that this will reduce the voter turnout." […]

"To ensure a level-playing field and fairness to all candidates, the Penang state government has decided to declare August 26, 2008 as a state public holiday."

Read his lips well, the keywords are "level-playing field". Now the immediate impediment has been eliminated by the CM, it’s time for our anak-anak bangsa Malaysia to do a national duty for all of us.

Do us a huge favor, send PKR’s Anwar Ibrahim into the Parliament, give him the benefit of doubt to deliver what he has promised so far and

Some may ask, what if he doesn’t? Simple, kick him out of the Parliament in the coming general election if he doesn’t walk the talk, afterall, this is what a true democracy is all about isn’t it? No?

But meanwhile, it’s not the time to skeptical for now and let’s give Anwar the one and the only one benefit of doubt this coming August 26 as it’s always our wish to see a strident voice from the Opposition Leader sitting right across the PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi this coming August 29 during the presentation of Budget 2009 by the Pak Lah, who is also the Finance Minister.

The beginning of a new Malaysia is looming, whether the plan is going to see the light, that’s very much dependent on the outcome of this coming by-election. Instead of seeing Anwar being buried by the Son-In-Law, I say, let’s bury him and the cronies instead, once and for all.

Learn the Nike way, let’s do it, my fellow anak-anak Bangsa Malaysia!
