UPDATED VERSION. The most memorable line in the Mother of All By-elections: Kita 'kuburkan' Anwar di Permatang Pauh! (We will 'bury' Anwar in Permatang Pauh.)

Tonight, the record shows Anwar Ibrahim triumphed against all odds and captured the seat with a majority of 15,671 votes, exceeding the 13,388-vote majority achieved by his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail in the March 8 general election.

Anwar obtained 31,195 votes to beat Barisan candidate Arif Shah Omar Shah, who picked up 15,524 votes, while the independent candidate lost his RM15,000 deposit after getting only 92 votes.

Detractors of in-law power within Umno shouldn't be too foolish and miss the actual burial ground for the race-based party that is getting irrelevant by the day.

UPDATES: And the first round of gun powder has been fired over night, from within Umno.

From Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, a potential challenger to the Father-in-Law for Umno presidency:

"It is time to face the music: it is we who have been buried," he said.

"Our leadership is rejected by the rakyat and, moreover, is rejected by our own members. BN's vote count was less than the number of Umno members in the constituency.

"Within and among our component parties we ran a poorly coordinated and listless campaign against a motivated opposition.

"What scraps of credibility the prime minister and his deputy had left after March 8 are gone," he added.

From Mukhriz Dr Mahathir, the potential challenger to the Son-in-Law for a post in Pemuda Umno:

"I think Abdullah should strongly consider for all our sakes, to step down now," he told AFP.

"This is a second time that the Malaysian people have given a clear message, with the first at the general elections. It is a rejection of the present leader and he must leave now."

How many dissenting voices will be buried and taken to the Umno grave?
