- I just came back from Sungai Siput (3.00am).I wrote updates there & there at SS, hoping that could update in the blog. But I was in no move to any CC nor any wi-fi connection at the place. So, pardon me for that. But I think its not too late to feel the SS breeze yet...I'l post what I wrote & continue the story...
At 3.58 pm I was again at S.M.K Methodist. But this time heard crowd voicing "Makkal Shakti Valga" (Live People's Power). And together with this there was slight argument between the opposition supporters & BN supporters. I understood that just before that, a opposition worker (girl) was sprayed with water by one of the BN worker. This leaded to the argument which fetched more people to the scene, all supporting either team. It looked like the BN guys talking & shouting in order to create problem, where the Makkal Shakti (MS) team tried to talk normally, but kept chanting "Makkal Shakti Valga". Voters were still walking in & the campaigning became heavy, by the MS group. Else where, the BN just shouted from far to the voters that vote for MS & its good to destroy the whole community. The girls of MS too were delivering their best. There was this one guy from BN who came in the middle in order to settle the minor arguments, but end up talking rudely to MS & also to his own guys which almost provoked a fight to happen. Traffic got bad & traffic police was doing their duty. Vehicles, including lorries which passed by the road honked to show support to the teams. Each time, the crowd cheered with the vehicles which had their party flags. BN claimed that they didn't have to campaign then. They were over-confident that people's vote will be for BN. MS was persuading all the people, including senior citizens who came, despite their difficulty to be physically active. The words of MS to all were "Ubah demi Maruah"(Change for dignity),"They broke our temples", "Think of our children's future",ext ext. Without realizing, the crowd augmented into nearly more than 200 people, inclusive both sides almost equal. BN's was having new people to talk and they were claiming that the MS guys were outsiders, but themselves are locals who cares more about SS. At 4.20 pm, a jeep with FRU unit, consists about 6 men, arrived and they took place between the supporters who were blocking the entrance. Could realize that both the groups actually created distubance in the place & looked like few voters turned backed without entering the polling station, fearing the crowd's presence there. This was very uncomfortable. The FRUs were standing between them quietly & this helped. But there were few people making noise within the groups provoking to fight. The situation was okay, then the station was closed & the crowd disembled. Next is vote counting!.....
I will post the exciting vote counting sessions & other matters later...I seriously gotta sleep now...Good night...errr...& good morning too...tata
