It look like the April 7 Tri-Byelection scorecard will be a status quo, i.e Barisan Nasional retain its seat at N29 Batang Ai while Pakatan Rakyat maintained it seat at N25 Bukit Selambau and P59 Bukit Gantang. BN 1 PR 2.
OFFICIAL RESULTS
P59 Bukit Gantang - PAS's Mohd Jamaluddin Nizar (21,860 votes) has beaten BN-UMNO's Ismail Saffian (19,071 votes). Majority - 2,789 (In 2008, the majority was 1,566).
N29 Batang Ai, Sarawak - BN-PRS's Malcolm Mussem Lamoh (3,907 votes) has beaten PKR's Jawah Gerang (1,854). The majority is 2,053.
In an immediate reaction, PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim said that the Pakatan victory in the two 'bukits' showed that “irrespective of the new PM, Malaysians still want change.”
“They are even stronger in their support for PKR,” he said. Anwar said that he was satisfied with the result as PKR did not expect to win Batang Ai.
He added that with PAS’ thumping victory in Bukit Gantang, Perak should now have fresh elections.
--------------------------------------------
All 13 independent candidates accepted their heavy defeat to Manikumar - all of them lost their deposits.
A Jayagopal said the fact that the independents managed to garner some votes - no matter how low - indicated that there were some voters who were unhappy with Pakatan and BN.
Delivering a similar message, Mejar (B) Anuar Abdul Hamid, who got the highest votes among the independents (314 votes), said the votes he gained showed that there were some elements of disgruntled voters in the constituency.
Anuar, who quit Umno last May with Dr Mahathir Mohamad, also did not role out returning to the party. However he said that he needed to think about it first.
Tan Hock Huat said the results today also showed that the Indians and the Chinese supported the Pakatan government in Kedah and urged PAS not to promote any Islamisation policies.

"One Malaysia. People First. Performance Now." That's the theme for Najib Razak's maiden speech as the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Najib also announced the Government had decided with immediate effect, to remove the temporary ban on two news publications, release 13 detainees from ISA detention, and conduct a comprehensive review of the Internal Security Act.
1.On behalf of all Malaysians, I would like to thank YABhg. Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for his 31 years of exemplary public service to our country, his commitment to strengthening the institutions and fabric of our democracy and for his graceful example as our leader.
2.I am grateful to YABhg. Tun for his confidence in proposing my name as Prime Minister to Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and I am honoured that His Majesty has consented to my appointment with this morning’s swearing-in ceremony. I feel a deep sense of humility at the opportunity to serve as your Prime Minister at an important time in our nation’s history. My life has been dedicated to public service. Growing up, I was inspired by the positive impact of public service in the example of my late father. Four decades on, I remain committed to the goals of tackling poverty; of restructuring our society; of expanding access to quality education for all; and of inspiring a new generation of young Malaysians to work on behalf of this great country. My own service in government has always been about getting results: to ensure a better deal for teachers, to improve conditions for our brave soldiers, and to strengthen our economy in defence of the people of Malaysia, as we deal with the outbreak of a global recession.
3.In the coming weeks, I will be consulting with people around our country, as I begin to reshape the leadership and priorities of the Government. I am mindful that we should build on the successes and lessons of the past. It must be a government with new approaches for new times – a government that places a priority on performance, because the people must come first.
4. We must reach out to all parts of Malaysia - to all our diverse communities. In our national discourse and in pursuing our national agenda, we must never leave anyone behind. We must reach out to the many who may have been disaffected and left confused by political games, deceit and showmanship.
We must draw on talented people across our nation, regardless of their position or background, to re-energize a passion for public service. We must sow the seeds of goodwill and understanding in every corner of this land, so that we continue to harvest the fruits of progress and prosperity for all Malaysians.
We must seek to include and unlock the potential of our young people who will be the next generation of leaders, businesspeople, engineers, scientists, teachers and doctors. We must give them wings to fly.
5.And so today, I pledge that I will work tirelessly to serve all of you.
6.In this spirit, I would like to announce that the government has decided with immediate effect, to remove the temporary ban on TWO news publications, release 13 detainees from ISA detention, and conduct a comprehensive review of the Internal Security Act. Additional details will be announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs shortly.
7.These decisions are timely as we move to enhance the confidence of our citizens in those entrusted with maintaining peace, law and order, while recognizing the need to remain vigilant of the very real security threats we continue to face as a young nation.
8.I know that for every citizen, these are hard times and I remain focused in providing strong leadership to lead us out of this economic crisis and unleash our full potential as a nation. I will be steadfast in my commitment to meet the needs, aspirations and concerns of all Malaysians.
9.So, today I ask you to join me in this task of renewing Malaysia. I urge us to rise to the challenge of building a One Malaysia. People First. Performance Now.
10.Let us begin this great journey together.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi quit !. And with the installation of Najib Razak as the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia, the RAHMAN Prophecy is now fulfilled.
The Opposition MPs meanwhile noted that the PM was the top job in the country and should be held by someone of high integrity and clean.
“Lately the DPM has been implicated in many scandals such as the commission for the purchase of French submarines. The most shocking is the murder of the Mongolian woman in which his name has been implicated. This has been published by newspapers around the world.
The good news is that KJ and his clever boys from the Fourth Floor will likely be evicted by Najib.
Najib Tun Razak will take his oath of office as Malaysia’s sixth Prime Minister at 10am on Friday before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin. The ceremony will be telecast live by RTM.
Current Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is expected to hand over his duties to Najib at the Prime Minister’s office in Putrajaya at 4pm Friday.
With that, Najib has complete the RAHMAN Prophecy also known as the RAHMAN Factor
