From the way Barisan Nasional used its muscles and well-oiled machinery to capture the by-election in Indera Kayangan, it was impossible for any opposition party to win then and in future elections.

The BN chief boasted that the people have voted 'wisely' for the ruling party's track record, when in fact it had spent a bomb on human and monetary resources to ensure its victory. Is this an indication of how confident BN was of winning before the elections?

As long as the print media and television stations are under BN's thumb, it will be impossible for the opposition to win. The playing field must be levelled for a fair fight.

God save Malaysia!
