Long Travel Ahead
8 Mar – It is election day and marks a long period of travel for me.
Will be heading for Cameron Highlands later today for a short break with friends where we will the last guests for Mrs Chong, the caretaker of Hill Top Bungalow. Mrs. Chong will be retiring next week and I am really glad that we have the opportunity to visit the Eu Yan Sang owned British era bungalow before she retires. Things will never be the same without Mrs. Chong.
Will be back on Monday and from Tuesday it will be a two solid week of traveling through Iran, Qatar, Oman and the UAE. I love traveling but not for business. Unfortunately this will be an official trip. But nevertheless, I am looking forward to Tehran.
Election Day
Today is the day for the 12th Malaysian Election. After two weeks of intense campaigning, Malaysians will go to the polls to choose their next government.
I am predicting that the opposition will be able to increase their parliamentary seats by 150% to about 50 seats from their representation of only 20 during the last term and they will capture about 45% of the votes. For the states, PAS will retain their majority in Kelantan and capture Perlis.
Let’s see whether I am right. May the best man or woman win.
