History could just happened in Pulau Pinang...
Barisan Nasional candidate for the Permatang Pauh Parliamentary by-election Arif Shah Omar Shah stands a better chance to win. It might be difficult, but its not impossible because nothing is impossible in Malaysian politics.
Being an examplary state assemblyman thus far this white-haired OCBC might pulled of an upset against the overwhelmingly favoured candidate from Parti Keadilan Rakyat.
While there was an enormous preassure on PKR to win, it was less on Arif who is readily embraced by just any other voter in P44. He might just snap away the parliament seat by the slimmest of a majority.
Arif means clever or smart in Bahasa Melayu, actually its Arabic for clever and smart.
And voters in Permatang Pauh are Arif enough to make a choice, which is not very difficult...
