My earlier posting:

Yesterday Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced the dissolution of Parliament, confirming (and ending) widespread speculations that Parliament would be dissolved YESterday.

Today, he'll be announcing polling day.

Anyway, candidates have been warned not to get down and dirty.
Keep it clean.

Can they?

See what they have done ....why don't they announce the whole thing earlier ........so that people like me could make it home to vote and take advantage of the cheap Air Asia flight recent promotion .

No joke yunno ........RM1500 to and fro Penang / KL / Bintulu and back again for me and my 2 children ( School holiday time ). Now if I were to use MAS that would be about RM3500 .

Ai yaaaa.......how to vote now ? Swim back ?
