(GE12) THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Published by Bukit Lanjan | Filed under Latest News

First – my apologies as I wasn’t able to get online since Saturday. My sister’s internet was as usual dodgy and I wasn’t able to return home to my computer til this morning. The past 48 hours have been filled with meetings, discussions etc. I’m still sleeping less than 4 hours a day My phones keep dying on me and please do forgive me if you’ve not been able to reach me or if I’m not able to take your calls on time, or reply to your SMSs.

I’m still dazed. I don’t think the enormity of the people’s revolt has sunk in, especially with PKR, DAP and PAS now controlling two-thirds of Selangor State and PKR being the lead Opposition party in Parliament. My boss – Dr. Wan Azizah is going to be Head of Opposition :)

Thank you to all the brave and wonderful voters of Bukit Lanjan. The people have shown who are the real bosses and I am humbled by your zeal and commitment for change.

My special thanks to the following folks:- My family – especially my mother who came down all the way from Ipoh to support me, like making me sleep, making me swallow 5 vitamin pills each morning and for all those soups and herbal drinks; my boyfriend Hilmi who has been incredibly patient and supportive; Sivarasa, Anne and the Subang Parliament team who shared their labour, resources and Ops Centre; Brian who initially was only my wakil calon but he ended up multi-tasking; Latheefa, the de facto Campaign Manager whose yelling and butt-kicking was very necessary; Tian Chua who gave this newbie a lot of tips; my strategy/media team – Seng Kiat, Wen Hui, Khai Loon, Yap, Alison; my leaflet Rambos of Puchong Saujana – Chee Keong, Lau, Bryan, Cheah; the bloggers (!); my other Rambo team – Hunter, Krishna and Haji Mahmud; the media who did make an effort to report on our campaign – Sin Chew, Nanyang, The Star, Sinar Harian and The Sun; Yvonne and her great team for the truck, banners and placards; the women’s groups – Cecelia, Maria, Oy Sim, Yock Lin etc; my old schoolmates, swimming team-mates, my super-generous donors who bought my idea that their donation was an investment on the future (!); designers Tze Yin, Bob, Moe Yin, Politea; my overworked printers Chee Chung and Jack; the SUARAM gang (yeah!!!!); Mogan and her PACAs, Bruno the head of Ops Centre, and many many more.

Without the help of the local residents, I wouldn’t not have been able to move in effectively in many areas – like Jit Lee, her husband, Darren, Aziz, the 3 ‘Dzuls’, Rao, Naran, Razak, the Bandar Utama residents, Sri Damansara Utama residents and many many more.

And I must also thank Saudara Anwar Ibrahim (yeah!). It is this man who blazed through our hearts and minds, and inspired the voters that we can change! This General Elections was in fact a vote of confidence for him.

If I’d left anyone out, which I’m sure I have, it is by accident and fatigue…

A new dawn is now upon us in Selangor.

We need your help and inputs. We need honest, committed residents to fill in the blanks and vacancies. There are many plans for change in the administration of the state. We now have the burden of carrying the people’s mandate to correct the past wrongs and make Selangor the model state. We have to deliver. And we have to do things differently — not the old BN ways. We are still undersieged by BN-UMNO and we need your continued involvement and participation to make things happen!

Now is not the time to be standing at the sides but the opportunity to be part of a truly incredible project is right before us.

Now let’s get to work!

    Hi,

    Going about visiting all the heroes and heroines of Malaysia.

    Congrats!

    Yes, get to work immediately. Maintain the momentum. So many people want you guys to fail!

    I suggest that one of the first order of business for the new Selangor government is to auction off the bungalows in “Exco Village”. Proceeds can go to a special fund for the rakyat in Selangor.

    Similarly, all the excess fixed assets acquired by the previous state government could also be auctioned off and proceeds go this fund.

    The fund should then be used for a specific good cause. Alternatively, proceeds can be used as rebates to assessments paid by the Selangor rakyat.

    Yours truly,

    A Selangor resident, part of your constituency and voter for PKR.

    Congrats!!! Really glad and thankful you have won. But as we speak, there are many unresolved matters. I’ve just received an email from a friend regarding series of robberies by Mat Rempits around BU and One U. Is there any email address I can forward this message to you? Just to let you know the happenings in your constitution? I am staying in BU and am very concerned about this.

  9. Ann Says:

    YB, jangan letak jawatan, berjuanglah atas kebenaran

  17. mikekum Says:

    Dear Elizabeth,
    Stay on, pray that god will send mighty angels and lead you to victory. Never surrender- you have a bigger job waiting after all. Sincerely.

  18. Lim Chi Sang Says:

    Sudah beribu sms, surat dan panggilan telefon telah YB terima untuk memberi sokongan moral, itu saya pasti. Tidak perlu lagi saya menyatakan sokongan dan simpati lagi. Walaupun kita tidak memahami 100% motif pengunduran YB tetapi kami percaya kepada KEBENARAN. Ankara siapa, tepuk dada tanya selera, Jika kita masih percayakan kewujudan Tuhan disitulah ada balasan, cuma masa akan menentukan. Mari kita sama-sama berdoa tak kira agama apa jua. Doakan kesejahteraan dan ketabahan YB dan minta-minta tuhan jatuhkan bala kepada dalang-dalang tersebut.

  22. peter lau Says:

    You must be brave.I strongly support you. You have done nothing wrong.It most despicable for anyone in this stupit manner.

  23. Sunan Tae Lou Says:

    Y.B, dont you ever give up for a small matter.. You should prepare to be much tougher to handle your political responsibilities.. For a political threaten, it’s not a new scenario anymore. Hope you’re good in health.

  24. allen Says:

    May you be a peacemaker, for then you shall be known as a child of God. May you love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. May it be known abroad that to those who strike you on the cheek, you offer the other also, and from those who take away your cloak, you do not withhold your coat. May you give to everyone who begs from you, and of those who take away your goods, may you have the compassion to not ask for it from them again. May it be said of you that as you wish that others would do to you, so you do to them. – Matthew 5

    Remember that all things work together for good to them that love God and who are called according to his purpose. May you experience swift healing.
