As Manchester United fans awaited eagerly for the live telecast of their match against Bolton which will see whether their favourite team top the Premier League table on saturday evening, supporters of BN and the opposition brace themselves for the result of the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election results.
Final score, Pas won by a majority of 2,631 against BN-UMNO and an independent. Its was the second time that BN has suffered a setback since the March 8, 2008 general elections.
The first setback was when BN-UMNO lost to PKR in the Permatang Pauh seat. Now the appeal court decision on the Pensiangan election petition will determine whether BN will face a third by-election in as many months.
Should there be one, it would be a first time a BN component pary instead of UMNO being put to the test. So should it be BN-PBRS vs a national party and a local party?

After 45 Years Independence Still The Same For Rural Folks!
It was reported in a local daily that a free movie screening by the Information Ministry attracted more than 5,000 people from Nabawan and Sook to the tamu grounds here on Saturday.
It was reminiscent of the 60s and 70s when rural folks were often treated to a free film that they used to refer to as “wayang piri” (wayang free).
Enough is enough.

After 45 years of independence. in this era of the Petronas Twin Tower and other mega developments including all the "Corridors" developments, most of Sabah rural area are still undeveloped by the Federal Government while the State government had to shoulder the full burden.
Pensiangan also could enter into the Malaysia Book Of Record for having witnessed a number of visits by Federal Ministers within a month compared to 45 years of history.
This is the prelude to the expected by-election for Pensiangan? More goodies coming their way?
