Poll strategists say the numbers must add up in planning for a battle… any battle

So I took a look at the winning chances for PR-PAS in the forthcoming by-election in Bagan Pinang.

Apart from the task to win over the 30% postal voters in the Army Town, we have to battle in wooing the 2,800 Indian voters too.

Facing off the pro-BN Indian clusters gathered from stats published in the Press, PR-PAS will be doomed:

  • MIC members: 2.5 million

  • M. Kayveas’ PPP: 1.5 million
  • T. Murugiah’s PPP: 157,231
  • IPF: 320,245
  • Makkal Sakti Party: 2.1 million
  • P. Uthayakumar’s Human Rights Party: 1.5 million
  • Hindraf supporters: 2.2 million
  • K.S. Nallakaruppan’s MIUP: 250,782
  • Kimma: 300,057

If you add them up, wow! There would be 9.5 million pro-BN Indian supporters — which add up to about 40% of the national population of 25 million — ready to be mobilised in Bagan Pinang, or in the next general election.

In what language do we teach our kids Maths and Science nowadays, I wonder?
