Najib: Swing in support of B.N

According to Najib the Hulu Selangor win was indicative of a swing in support of B.N. Despite the overwhelming heavy weights from the B.N arsenal headed first by the DPM and later by Najib himself the final poll of a majority win of 1725 is hardly any indication of a swing in support of B.N. One must remember that this has always been a B.N stronghold and in every election with the exception of the 2008 General election B.N had always won with a handsome majority. And now with the full force of B.N concentration of just the Hulu Selangor electorate, a win of merely 1725 votes is a forceful reminder that the days of B.N's rule is coming to an end.

The B.N govt had used every conceivable bait to lure the voters in Hulu Selangor. The long outstanding issue of felda land settlement was immediately resolved with cash distribution and chinese schools were immediately given on the spot grant of $3 million for their schools.

The prevalent use of money politics was so pervasive in this election that Dauk Zaid Ibrahim was moved to comment that it was the dirtiest election ever held in Malaysia.
