Dyana-The DAP Gambit

A Promise for tomorrow?

The Teluk Intan Parliamentary By-election will once again be another test-bed for DAP.

Dyana-70- Days Old

On 5 May 2013, the gambit paid particularly well in Johore where they clinched a number of seats at both Federal and State levels from the MCA, Gerakan and UMNO.

Dyana-Her Mother's Daughter

Now the seat of Teluk Intan has become vacant once more because of the death of the seating DAP Parliamentarian, Seah. DAP has decided to once more test this seat with another gambit-field  a novice, Dyana Sofia Daud, the current political secretary of the DAP Advisor, Lim Kit Siang.

A Worthy Adversary for BN

What makes it particularly  interesting is Dyana Sofia is a Malay lawyer wading in a demographic pool of majority non-Malays voters.

Can she move mountains?

Will the gambit pay off again as this is a by-election where the full impact of the Barisan juggernaut election machinery can be put to frightful use?

Beauty and the BN

While the demography is still dominated by an almost equal percentage of Chinese and Malay voters, the Indian voters can now become the king makers.

A  Potential MP in the Making

Can the claim by MIC that they are now in the good books of the Indian voters valid?

Beauty and the Bizz?

With Hindraf out of the government, will this translate to less support for any Barisan candidates by the Indian community?

Looking for a hattrick?

Will the hudud issue brewing in the wind confuse all the three communities that who they vote can be anybody's guess?

On the Campaign Trail

The fight for Teluk Intan is an open field.

Fresh Face-Fresh Hopes for Malaysia?

If the Chinese continue to support DAP, Dyana may stand a chance of a close shave win against the Gerakan President, Dr. Mah Siew Kong who has now joined the State Exco.

May the Force Be With You!

The verdict on 31 May is much awaited.
