Barisan will not contest in Penanti says Najib and will they stay out of Perak if there is fresh election?

WOW! What a wise choice from the coalition. That means, they don't care about Penang. They know that they are not going to win. They know that it is irrelevant to contest and why contest where there is no significant changes if they win. Penang folks should jump with joy.

Sorry Perakian.You won't be having the same fate because there won't be any fresh election. If they do, it will be a wise choice (BRAVO!) if BN choose to stay out of the election as well. Lets hope because there are a few symptoms.
1. They know they are not going to win
2. They don't care about Perakian, they only care who rules the assembly.

Results from the symptoms : 2 out of 3, not bad, at least there is a hope they will not contest in Perak......

The Star Reports:

KUALA LUMPUR: The Barisan Nasional has decided not to contest the May 31 by-election in Penanti, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced on Monday.

“We feel it is an unnecessary by-election; we will not join in the Opposition’s political games,” said Najib, also the coalition chairman, after a Barisan supreme council meeting.

The Penanti state seat fell vacant on April 17 following the resignation of its PKR assemblyman, Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin. The Election Commission has set May 23 for nominations.

Pakatan will be fielding former Penang PKR chairman Dr Mansor Othman in the contest.
