Nomination
The 12th General Elections results are already out and here I am talking about the nomination day for the Seputeh Parliamentary Seat that happened some Sundays back. Just a simple police-escorted procession from the Seri Petaling bean sprout chicken shop to Seri Petaling Multi-purpose Hall. Everyone wore white with a red-streaked DAP cap. Flags were distributed (not the pathetic mini flags but the broomstick-as-flag-pole variety) and they found that there were more flags than hands. Therefore, I ended up hoisting two (*&*@&^%*&*:). Everyone followed behind a Hilux laden with over-zealous flag-waving women and an AV set blaring the song "Together" (a political song calling for change). Even had a "leader" who would scream out slogans and the rest would follow. However, certain phrases were more popular than others...
"Vote for Change, Vote for DAP!"
"Teresa Pasti Menang!"
"DAP! DAP! DAP!" (yeah, I know. Bloody original ain't it?)
And some just fell flat...
"Jatuhkan MCA!"
"We Love You Teresa Kok!"
"BN Pasti Kalah!"
Guess people are still kinda reserved. Haha. Got much support and acknowledgement as we got around. People honked and gave the thumbs up, while some even joined us on the march. The hall had been cordoned off. One hundred metres from both sides had been marked with yellow Election Commission tape. DAP on side, and BN on the other. The support at Carol Chew's side was still quite pathetic. The low MCA presence was really conspicuous, circumstantial evidence of party in-fighting? Things only started looking up for them when they "imported" two bus-loads of UMNO supporters from outside. Even brought along there Wanita UMNO choir group, belting out "Undilah Barisan Kita". DAP promptly replied with the Hari Raya tune, "Balik Kampung". :P. The incumbent Teresa was represented at the nomination as she was making an appearance at the Kinrara State Seat nomination. From then on, it was a boring process of waiting for the nomination to be completed. Once done, the EC people came out to make an announcement and the names were displayed outside for anyone to make complaints within 24 hours. Next up, I'll blog about the campaign trail...
