Here we go again. Another by election. This time its in the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia. Yes, its Kuala Trengganu as the battle field. Nominations was done this morning. Its been confirmed that BN will be represented by Dato' wan Ahmad Farid, PAS by Abdul Wahid Endut and also an Independent candidiate.Whatever the politics of the political parties and their ideologies lets look at the facts. especially the statistical facts on youth in Kuala Trengganu as potential voters.
a) Total no. of registered voters: 80,325;

f) Percentage of youth as potential voters: 68.5 %
Thus, whichever party wish to win the by election should focus its energy and resources on issues relating youths in Kuala Trengganu .
Tolonglah jangan lupa peranan besar yang dimainkan oleh golongan Belia sehinnga tumbangnya 5 buah kerajaan negeri dibawah Bn kpd pembangkang dalam PRU 12 tempohari. Rata-rata undi dari saluran 4 dan 5 semua adalah kearah pembangkang.
Jadi, pada hemat saya amatlah penting bagi Bn untuk menumpukan perhatian dalam kempen di KT ini terhadap para belia terutamnya.
Takde salah menda pung kalu usaha ini dipertingkatkan daripada asyik dok kempen kat orang-rang yang dah memang taat dan setia dengan UMNO/BN di kalangan orang/pengundi veteran kita.
Plus, other issues like infighting and factionalism bewteen UMNO and solidarity and loyalty between component member parties of BN is also a major issues before other srtategies could be implemented.
It is strikingly clear that YOUTHS is the determining factor in this by election
