KUALA LUMPUR: Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali has hailed BN’s twin victories in Kerdau and Merlimau as a clear sign that Barisan Nasional’s (BN) “2008 nightmare” is over at last.
He said in a statement that he had already foretold the majority increase in both by-elections as Malay voters were beginning to return and unite under Umno.
BN won with a 2,724 majority in Kerdau and 3,643 in Merlimau.
“The Muslims have seen PAS and DAP’s antics,” he said. “They are tired of (Pakatan Rakyat leader) Anwar Ibrahim’s political theatrics and the confusing stands of the Kelantan Menteri Besar (Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat).”
“These two wins also prove that Anwar and Pakatan’s dream of capturing Putrajaya is nothing more than a hallunication.”
“The question now is, how far can BN go in wresting back the four Pakatan states (Selangor, Kedah, Kelantan, Penang, and Kedah), defend Perak and retain its two-third majority?”
