BN dry runs show Pakatan can win Perak, Negri Sembilan

The ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) could lose Perak and Negri Sembilan in the next general elections, according to results of a recent dry run. Unless component parties put popular faces and ensure the grassroots machinery garner support from voters.

It is understood that the Umno election dry run also showed that the BN fortress of Johor could see up to 15 out of the 56 state seats go to their political opponents Pakatan Rakyat (PR), something unheard before Election 2008 when the ruling coalition lost six seats.

It is also learnt that Perlis, where BN holds 14 out of the 15 state seats, could see several state and one of the three federal seats going to PR due to anger over Putrajaya putting Wahhabi preachers including state mufti Dr Juanda Jaya on a terror watch list.

CHINA - A Chinese bride had her wedding day rudely disrupted when her groom's male lover turned up uninvited.

A video posted on Youtube showed the bride and the lover wrangling over the groom and almost trading blows at one point. The story was also featured on Chinese website, Chinasmack.com.

In response, the man, dressed in blue, told her that he and her groom had been together even before she was in the picture. All this time, the groom kept trying to keep the two warring parties away from each other, as he tried to tell his increasingly angry bride that he would explain.

At one point, the man grabbed the groom's hand and ran away with him, as they left the bride to chase after them.

Meanwhile, Chinese netizens are divided over the video. Some feel that the bride was the third party in the relationship, since she met her groom later, while others felt sorry for the woman who was lied to. Yet some did not believe in the authenticity of the video, claiming that some Weibo blogs have said that the video was a fake.
