Hehe, this time, for the ninth by-election, BN had finally won it!

Barisan Nasional's Tan Sri Mohd Isa Samad won Bagan Pinang by-election today by a big majority of 5435 votes, compared to the one recorded for the 8th March 2008 election, ie. 2333 votes.

The BN candidate got 8013 votes (ie. 3521 postal votes + 4492 normal votes), while the PAS NS's State Commissioner: Zulkefly Mohamad Omar got 2578 votes (ie. 601 postal votes + 1977 normal votes).

Other facts:
1. The total number of votes (including postal votes) is 11157 (ie. 81.65% turnout).
2. The total number of spoilt votes is 566 votes (ie. 134 postal votes + 432 normal votes).
3. The total number of AVAILABLE postal votes is 4611 (ie. Pas got 601 votes, BN got 3521 votes, 134 spoilt votes, and 355 didn't vote).
4. The number of registered voters who didn't vote is about 2507 votes (ie. by the fact that 18.35% didn't vote). This means that about 355 person didn't do the postal votes, while 2152 normal voters didn't turnout to vote.. Why, oh why?
5. Should the 2507 voters actually voted and did so for PAS, the only difference it would make is a smaller majority. The strong 8013 votes obtained by BN would still produce an end result of a majority larger than the one obtained in March 2008 by PAS. And nobody can really say that those 2507 votes wouldn't end up being for BN anyway (which would mean a greater margin of loss for PAS).
6. There were eight voting centres in the by-election: Taman Eastern, Ladang Atherton, Siliau, Ladang Bradwall, Sua Betong, Kg Bagan Pinang, Si Rusa, and Teluk Kemang.
7. Bagan Pinang is located in the Teluk Kemang parliamentary seat. There are five seats in the constituency, with BN currently holding two (Linggi and Bagan Pinang), PKR holding two (Chuah and Port Dickson), and Lukut is under DAP.
8. BN controls 21 out of the 36 states seats in the state assembly (ie. the DUN: Dewan Undangan Negeri). Out of the 15 state seats, 10 belongs to DAP, 4 belongs to PKR, and PAS has 1 seat.
9. In the last general election, for Bagan Pinang, BN got 6430 votes, while PAS has 4097 votes, and the majority was 2333 votes. Thus, there is an increase of 1583 votes for BN and a decrease of 1519 votes for PAS. So, is it plausible to say that the ones who voted for PAS ran to the BN's side this time?

That's all for now. Congrats to the winner, and to the losing side, try again next time.

All in all, congratulation to the locals for doing their duty and right as voters. You rule!

P/s: Facts and figures came from the official result of EC as published by Malaysian newspapers, and calculations using my calculator.. :)

Landmarks!

Within 20 minutes, blood pressure decreases, pulse rate drops, body temperature of hands and feet increases.

After 2 hours, the level of nicotine in the system is significantly reduced.

After 8 hours, in the bloodlines, oxygen level increases to normal, and carbon monoxide level drops, allowing larger amount of oxygen for muscles, brains and tissues.

After 24 hours, carbon monoxide levels in the lungs return to those of a non-smoker and the mucus begins to clear. Chance of heart attack is already decreased.

After 48 hours, nicotine leaves the body and taste buds are improved.

After 72 hours, breathing becomes easier, as bronchial tubes relax.

After 96 hours, ALL nicotine by-products is gone from the system. No more physical addictive substance messing with your brain.

After 2–12 weeks, blood circulation improves, and lung functioning increases by 30%.

After 3 months, fertility is improved. Tar stains on fingers and nails are gone!

After 6 months, occurrences of coughing, stuffy nose, tiredness and shortness of breath decreases.

After 1 year, the risk of heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker. Skins and gums are constantly improving, due to the extra oxygen absorbed. Dry skins and premature wrinkles can be naturally reduced.

After 5 years, the chance of lung cancer is almost the same as a non-smoker, together with the chance of getting cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas.

After 10 years, the chance of getting coronary heart disease and stroke is the same with those who had never smoked.

Besides that:

1. You can set good example of healthy lifestyle and/or willpower to the younger generations.

2. The bad habit which can affect those around you (including your loved ones), are gone.

3. You save more money (no need to buy cigarettes, no need to pay higher life insurance premiums)

4. You have more energy to do stuff that you love (and hey, by the way, smoking can cause impotency!)

5. Smoking is not cool/hip and not a thing of the rich anymore. 1 billion (out of 1.22 billion) smokers lives outside the developed world
