After the by-election....

Congrats to Salleh Man and Pas for winning the Permatang Pasir by-election.
Even though events before the eventual outcome points out that BN is confident of winning it turns out PAS has again turn the tables on BN.
Why did BN lose?
Nothings change since the so-called political tsunami of the 2008 General Elections. BN in general and UMNO in paraticular still resort to old tactics and strategies. The in-fightings are still there and so is sabotaging party's efforts.
To make things worse the BN started on the wrong foot by getting Rohaizat to represent them. He has quite a few skeletons in the closet which only surface up after the nomination papers were accepted.
If the BN people have done their homework, this shouldn't have happened. Was it so difficult to do a background check on potential candidates?
And this fellow (Rohaizat) for God's sake, can't he come clean by professing that he was disbarred by the Bar Council, has two wives (not that there is anything wrong with having more than one wife) and a few other misdemeanours. Maybe Rohaizat is making full use of the fact that those responsible in doing the selections are imcompetent fools.
Whatever ......... BN has to fully re-invent itself if it hopes to win the next general election. Using old tricks and strategies will not help it's cause at all.
