There is some irony that a place named Taiping, beautiful, peaceful, mind-our-own-business Taiping is the scene for some political drama in the shape of the Bukit Gantang By Election. Malaysia Today has a page with links to pics and video of the nomination day action.
I’m supposed to be looking for a collection of quotes from UMNO’s GA, already collated, but lost in the vastness of RPKs blog. It’s awesome headdesk/facepalm material. Will add the link later.
EDIT: Okay, can’t find the promised page of quotes. Maybe it only existed in my warped mind. But in place, this one is also worth reading.
