To add to the growing number of politicians, analysts and even celebrities of some sort in the Gelang Patah 'Mother of all battles', comes in the famous (or rather infamous) soothsayer of The Star on politics: Ms. Joceline Tan! Not to mention her all her miss-the-mark predictions of 308 and her going round the bush and flip flopping analysis of the political arena in Malaysia, now she wants to predict the defeat of LKS in Gelang Patah!
It is known that LKS took a great risk, great enough that he has a decent chance of losing the seat if they placed the correct candidate from BN to fight him. But to run down LKS like how she did it isn't gonna go well with a lot of people. She spoke of surveys showing support swinging against LKS after the possible clash between LKS and MB Ghani. Then the question is: which survey and what methodology that they use? How many were interviewed? One more issue is that any tom dick and harry out of nowhere questioned on the street will usually give either a non-committal answer or an affirmative one.
Whether LKS win or lose its part and parcel of politics. He knows it but he has the guts to come down and fight. However, less is to be said of the president of the 3rd largest chinese party in the world who decides to run away and leave it to the MB of Johor. I call that plain cowardice! Even if LKS lose he loses with dignity and will forever have our respect for one last hurray into the horizon.
Anyways here's her latest article on the Gelang Patah contest:
Just hope that the voters of Gelang Patah prove her wrong and send her analysis to the dumps.
