Election Fever

General Elections 2008 is just around the corner. Am a registered voter now. Registered at the end of last year. As a Malaysian, i'm embarassed at how those people, those so called 'leaders of communities'. Its a shame on how the SPR went about the whole thing. First the indelible ink for voters. Supposedly to avoid cheating or ghost voters. Then they retract the motion and cancelled it off at the last minute. I guess as the campaigns were going on, the government realized that theyr'e in deep shit and that the people somewhat lost hope in them and they wouldn't stand a chance of getting majority. Ha Ha. Sleep again la. Sleep la. Screw the people summore.
The media.. oh would you look at em. The government is holding their balls. Tight. Mass media campaignings are all one sided. Newspapers, tvs, are all BN inclined. All the political ads shown on tv are BN adds. Its like they're begging the people to vote for them. Dun't really have much faith on thyself huh BN? ha ha. The only reliable info available is the internet. Unbiased, truthful (most of em anyways), and reflects the true emotions that the people have toward the current government.
The candidates, fooohhhh.. check out their campaigns. Some are superb and very well expressed to the people. But some are just plain childish with all the name calling, telling offs, and mockings. These are the people we have to vote for - be it the ruling party or the oppositions? It makes me wonder what kind of values they wud bring in for the people which they're suppose to represent. These are the people's voices. There're many new faces. Many fresh young faces if you noticed and have been reading thru this whole Malaysian political saga. A number picking up where their dads left off. A couple of hot babes running for DUN, and the corrupt others.
If you get your news from the internet rather than the local newspaper or tv, chances are, you should be be familiar with the goal to refuse BN a 2/3 majority in parliament. Hoohaa..!~ Am sure its not possible. Statistics shows that there are a lot of new voters for the 12th GE. That, and the fact that the shortcomings faced by our so called 'leaders' arent easily forgotten by the people. The Rakyat are also more exposed to alternative medias which gives a different perspective to them on how things are actually administrated here in Malaysia, our beloved country. I leave the judgement to all those claims and revelations on the net to you. As the ancient sea people saying goes, there will not be barbequed chicken wings smell if there's no barbequed chicken wings on the grill burning away.
If the opposition win in any way at all, i hope they deliver. No wait, whoever wins, i hope they deliver and i really really hope that they put the people's interest first before themselves or their pocket for that matter. Aren't we a democratic country? They should put that in mind that the people hold their balls.
Nevertheless, lets hope for a really FAIR general elections tomoro. The power is in our hands - The Rakyat.
Where will i vote? I'll be voting at Sekolah Aminuddin Baki near my gramp's place. My area is Pengkalan Rinting and err.. undi adalah rahsia. muhahahahaha..
