Kuala Terengganu Parlimentary seat which is vacants following the death of Datuk Razali Ismail, while playing badminton at Institut Aminuddin Baki in Genting Highlands last Friday will be an assesment on how rakyat Terengganu evaluate BN government and also on how CM Datuk Ahmad Said runs the Terengganu. 

On Friday, the Election Commission (EC) has fixed nomination for the by-election on Jan 6 next year and polling on Jan 17, in the event of a contest. On the polling date, he said the EC fixed the date in view of the weather condition in the state felt that if polling were to be held this month, it could be marred by bad weather.

As we all know that Kuala Terengganu Parlimentary Seat is not a safe seat for either BN or the opposition, as it has changed hands many times. BN won in 1986, 1990, 2004 and 2008, but Semangat 46 won in 1995 and PAS won in 1999. So this by election could be an interesting one and will be unlikely as Permatang Pauh which  we could say as ‘berat sebelah’ on PKR.

Furthermore, there are a lot of issues has been raised before and after 12th General Election and to make this by-election more interesting is some of the issues were been raised at KT or on Datuk Ahmad Said administration. The list below which I personnally think will be a vital point for this by Election (note: this issue are from local newspaper and I did not include on the rumours or khabar angin) :-

1. Mercedes as replacement for Proton Perdana.(This will be main issue for sure)
2. Development on Pulau Duyung.
3. Land Issue
4. Masjid Kg Bujal (again.. i think)
5. Protester been shot at Batu Burok.
6. Monsoon Cup ( We can’t run from this)
7. Giant Supermarket at MESRA MALL
8. Internal issue on UMNO ( Geng Ahmad Said and Idris Jusoh).
9. Environmental issue at K Berang
10. Inflation and Harga Barang Naik…  Semestinya on this issue…
11. Orang Luar dan Orang Tempatan ( if PAS still nominates Ahmad Sabu)
