SHAH ALAM: PKR’s candidate for the Indera Mahkota parliamentary constituency in Pahang, Saifuddin Abdullah, has learnt his lessons from his defeat in the 13th general election in 2013.
He admitted that he was overconfident when he contested under the Barisan Nasional (BN) banner against PAS’ Nasruddin Hassan Tantawi when contesting the Temerloh seat.
“I did not expect the Chinese votes to turn (to the opposition),” he told FMT.
Although he refused to say much, Saifuddin said the one mistake he would not repeat in the coming polls was to underestimate his opponent.
“I had a very close relationship with the Chinese and I thought everything was going fine.
I miscalculated the ‘Ubah’ (‘Change’) phenomenon; that was my mistake,” he said.

Bloody Chinese, wakakaka.
I have never supported the 'Ubah' campaign initiated by Brother Haris Ibrahim. It was too undiscriminating and thus poor Saifuddin got the chop whilst his opponent, the man with the Egyptian name who hates Valentine's Day won.
What bloody stupid Chinese voters, wakakaka.

But Saifuddin wasn't the first UMNO man to lose to PAS because the bloody Chinese.
