According to national TV, at 2120 Malaysian time, Barisan Nasional won Pengkalan Pasir by a small margin. Because of the small margin, a recount is due tomorrow – thanks to that, this win is unofficial. But somehow, I doubt there that there will be a different picture tomorrow.
Whatever it may be, I hope the Election Commission will publish the standard error for the by-election. Let’s see how uncertain the result really is.
For those who want to know about why a recount is due, statistically, read more about confidence interval at Wikipedia. Quite light, compared to what I had to suffer during my junior year at Michigan.
And heh. What did I tell you?
Pay up.
I wonder, how Ibrahim Ali did in the competition. Hmm…

Ah, I knew there was something fishy about the guy.
Dude, screw Ibrahim Ali. I take back my initial endorsement of him. I just found out that he was one of the chief instigators of the Operasi Lalang. He was caught under the ISA from UMNO’s side in that unfortunate occurance.
