It is more a "siok sendiri" poll, the reliability of the survey remained doubtful.
Is there a reputable agency that audit Merdeka's opinion poll survey? The results of its surveys have never been audited and authenticated for it margin of error, its samples and confidence intervals.
Some poll can be deliberately engineered by unscrupulous pollsters to generate certain result thus making its questionable.
A recent poll conducted by the agency claimed that Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman popularity had declined to 45 percent and Prime Minister Najib popularity remained high in Sabah at 75 percent.
Any intelligent Sabahan who follow Sabah politics would immediately know the opinion poll is self-serving and one that also serves the opposition as well as some Sabah UMNO warlords who wanted to get rid of Musa by giving Najib the false impression that UMNO can win in Sabah without Musa. Someone in Sabah UMNO wanted Musa's job badly.
In any war the enemy always sought to eliminate the best general in order to demoralise his force. It is the same in politics using character assassinations to demonise leader who is seen likely to lead his party to victory is common place throughout the world.
Barack Obama went through the same hell mudslinging when he ran for the US president in 2008, accused of being a Muslim because of his middle name.
Watch carefully the voice over, the bad editing and cut and paste of the video.
In spite of the many attempts at muddying the waters on Obama the American people stood steadfastly behind him and chose him as the next president of the United States.
The same dirty campaigning is happening in Malaysia to denigrate Prime Minister Najib, Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman and Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud. The three are seen as the biggest roadblocks hindering the opposition's journey to Putrajaya.
Suaram, the tool of the opposition and those who wanted Najib out of office has been caught in a web of deceit on the Scorpene submarine investigation.A French government prosecutor Yves Charpernel has denied of any ongoing trial in France as depicted by Suaram to the Malaysian public. Suaram and its two French lawyers, out of shame having been caught lying, still insisted that such court proceeding was ongoing.
Who would you want to believe, a government prosecutor or two street smart lawyers?
There is concerted effort by the oppositions to eliminate the two East Malaysian leaders, Taib Mahmud and Musa Aman, both most likely to lead the BN to victory in their respective states where the oppositions are still fragmented and have not come to terms with each other to mount a challenge on BN grip on the two states.
Both Musa and Taib are political strategists that have the ability to outmaneuver their opponents and proved their detractors wrong. The Sarawak Report, a blog based in the UK, founded and controlled by one Clare Rewcastle Brown, the sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has both Taib and Musa are constantly on her radar and is on the permanent hit list with gory tales of corruptions, abuses of power and even murder. Sarawak Report estimated Taib to be worth more than US$15 billion.
Robert Kuok the richest man in Malaysia amassed his wealth for almost two generations is only worth RM45.7 billion in 2012 and at today's exchange rate that would be about US$15 billion, the same as Taib.
The Musa and Taib haters are having a field day with their tales from the crypt why these two men should go to the grave. Some even predicted that Anwar's PKR would take a leading role in Sabah politics. That's, maybe, a bridge too far. Taking in a few "orang kecewah" may be good politics few decades ago, it is not now, Sabahans are getting sick of such political misconduct.

Just before the March 2008 General Elections, 5 out 10 people I talked to predicted the political demise of Musa Aman and the end of BN in Sabah. The same are being said now by the same people who had never got their political predictions right. The same people also predicted Yong Teck Lee would win big in the Batu Sapi by-election. Yong, who refused to give way to Pakatan candidate for a one to one fight against the BN was buggered by DAP and lost badly. Pakatan/PKR's candidate Ansari Abdullah fared much better than him because DAP's Chinese supporters voted for Ansari.
The only opposition party, as I have always said in this blog, that will make inroads in Sabah is DAP, who would do well in Chinese predominant constituencies, but not enough to pull the rug from under the BN's feet. The rest may have to fight, tooth and nail, to win 1 or 2 seats.
Najib is smart not to be influenced by such talk and opinion poll to remove Taib and Musa from the equation.
In Sabah politics, money speaks louder than words.

Either you are blind or deaf?
The Sabahan's wave "Gangnam Style" is coming soon in the next GE.
How can a party whose leaders are soiled and corrupted be elected by the people? MCA? Sabah UMNO? Gerakan? PBB? Etc.
Those days of blocking news from reaching the ears and eyes of the uninformed masses are gone!
The age of the Internet with a better informed society has come to roost.
Don't you still get it?

Any insight into who is this person who donated RM 40 million to Sabah UMNO with money in a suitcase ?
Why didn't they say so in the first place ? That could have stopped the HK ICAC investigation in its tracks but it looks like it is now a political land mine for Musa Aman.
Its things like these that ask the question of transparency. There is nothing wrong with anyone donating money to a political party, whether for incumbents or opposition. But just be up front with it (and it applies to both sides of the divide)
Right now, it looks like a cover up going on and that is not going to be working in the govt's favour.
The state seats are BN's. Two third is a given.
Parliamentary seats seem marginal for at least ten.
PR only need a swing of 15 to 20 parliamentary seats. Is that why Najib is hesitant for the 13 PR?
