Fierce battle at Hulu Selangor by-election?

I, sometimes, find it interesting to follow politics in Malaysia. Although it is more fatuous, it has gotten the charm to fluctuate one’s emotion. I too find it mind boggling as it provides a detailed dissection of people’s (including politicians’) mentality and maturity as well.

The candidate from Pakatan Rakyat or People’s Coalition is Zaid Ibrahim, a well known household name to every Malaysians. He quit Barisan Nasional or National Coalition and later joined PKR because he found BN’s doings are against his principle. A man of principle, he is.

What is the reason for PKR to field Zaid in this by-election? Zaid is an intellectual man. He will be best known and accepted in a city constituency where more working professionals or literates can easily understand his capabilities and visions. I have no intention to scorn the intelligence or intellectual level of the people of Hulu Selangor. There may be many professionals working in the city are from Hulu Selangor.

Is Zaid Ibrahim a sure win by PR? Or is PR desperate to find a good candidate from its arsenal, looking at the number of PR’s members turned “Froggies”?

I hope democracy will prevail this Sunday.
