Speculation is running high and bets are already being placed on when Malaysia
Some have even prophesied the exact nomination day of July 9 and balloting day of July 23.
How do they know? Well, Malaysian politics is a bit like cheese - full of holes. Very often, the news turns out wrong not because it wasn't true but because the powers-that-be decided to change their plans to regain the element of surprise.
In any case, it looks like feng-shui will be very much part of Prime Minister Najib Razak's game plan for GE-13. While he has publicly professed to a liking for the number 11, metaphysics experts aka feng-shui masters believe he is referring to the year 2011.
The month of July was picked, because it favored Najib's BN and also because it can spell disaster for Pakatan! Yes, Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim and his Pakatan Rakyat will have to be on special guard that particular month and the month before that.
Malaysia Chronicle spoke to a practitioner of Chinese Metaphysics for the significance of the dates and the months that are buzzing around town.
According to this practitioner, each date has specific purposes and in the Chinese Almanac, Najib's birthdate shows that after August 5, his luck will start to sour all the way through November.
"It will certainly not be in November because the PM has very bad luck in November. December maybe. But his luck goes down from early August onwards. GE will be in June or July. After 5th August, he won't do well anymore," the feng-shui master said.
Beware The Remove Date
Conversely, June and July contain pitfalls for Anwar and Pakatan. Already, it is apparent that the BN is trying to capitalize on this piece of metaphysical gem. And there is no doubt that one of the best ways to destroy Pakatan is to get rid of PKR, which is Anwar's own party.
The card that BN has up its sleeve is an ominous date - a "Remove" date to be precise. June 9th - the D-day on which PKR faces de-registration by the Registrar of Societies.
"Remove Days are used for divorce and for getting rid of one's enemies or for clearance of old stock," the master told Malaysia
"Perhaps it is more than just a coincidence that PKR is facing this threat on 9th June. Perhaps there is someone in BN who has in-depth knowledge of the Chinese Almanac in order for this date to be chosen," she tilted her head upwards to ask.
But no one dared to give her a reply.
Whatever it is - sinophiles in Putrajaya or not - certainly sinister forces are at work as the person who chose this date seems to know about the 'secret' of this day. Of course, it could also be coincidence but the science of Date Selection is very popular amongst the Chinese.
To those who missed the recent news, the RoS has given a show-cause letter to PKR demanding to know why it should not be de-registered for allegedly contravening a clause in the sacking of a party member in 2009.
PKR has fired back, saying that there was no such clause in their constitution in the first place and secondly, there is no such member in the party rolls. Whatever their reply and no matter how solid their proof, Malaysia
Emulating the Bolehland type of politics favoured by former premier Mahathir Mohamad, Najib has been showing signs he is willing to turn reality upside down regardless that it will destroy Malaysia
So what is an RoS de-registration of PKR then, pundits told Malaysia
De-Registering PKR
Malaysia Chronicle also spoke to PAS MP for Kota Raja Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud. She was among those who opined that PKR will not be de-registered because that would be too rash and trigger chaos and anger amongst the people, who are already simmering at the avalanche of price hikes and subsidy cuts.
But her colleague, PAS MP for Titiwangsa Dr Lolo Ghazali is of the view that the RoS will certainly de-register PKR because BN can see that there is now increasing support for PKR.
Despite all-out efforts to smear and discredit Anwar, the people have chosen to believe him and not Najib. For the PM, it was a case of the boy who cried wolf once too many times, Lolo said.
Also, since the effects of the sex video implicating the Opposition Leader seems to be losing its pull on the people, striking off PKR from the list of political parties eligible to contest GE-13 may be the BN's last resort to crush the Pakatan.
"BN has no qualms in using a sex video to bring down Anwar, so what more is the de-registration of PKR. Only BN would dare to think of such things, they don't realize that the consequences will hurt not only Malaysia but also themselves," Lolo told Malaysia
Lastly, There Is The 'Mass' Factor
Lastly, there has been talk about the government increasing electricity tariffs as well as raising the price of RON 95. If that were to happen, whatever 'good feng shui date' or good numerology date will not help BN in the coming general election.
Above feng-shui is still one factor called the 'mass factor'.
According to the feng-shui master, the 'mass' factor means that the rakyat can nullify the effects of any good dates chosen because of what is known as the 'power of the masses'.
"Chinese Metaphysics is a very complicated science and there are branches of study. In this case, there are many factors that have to be taken into account and although 9th June is a Remove Day, PKR has a mitigating factor in one of its other important dates," she said, declining to reveal what that other important date is.
Until another date that is! - Malaysia
