Election Fever

Politics have never been my fancy. However, I remember those days when my late father was still alive, he had been an ardent supporter of the rulling party in the goverment. He had always participated in the elections, either as a spokesperson for the party or as an election official. If I recall well, he had been the counter for votes for more than once. But I guess those days, the political wave in the country was different than how it is now.

Could this be the rakyat's choice?

The rakyat will go to the polls in 4 days time. Most tv & radio stations talk about nothing else other than how good is the present rulling party and a hundred and one reason as to why we must brush aside the opposition electorial candidates. The members of parliment are showing off their report cards to the people. They claimed that they have done so much....resolve the floods, widen roads, created new business opportunities...blah..blah..blah.... The list is endless.

Or this perhaps?

The country is now like a stand still. Everywhere around us is talk on politics. Even as I am writing, there is a guy blaberring outside about how we should be grateful with the peace and harmony in the country. Yeah..yeah..yeah... I AM GRATEFUL INDEED. Many thanks to the government for keeping the country intact, well almost intact.

A rocket perhaps?

But the issue here is not so much if we are grateful or not. Being grateful doesn't equate to condoning the wrong doings in the government. Wrong is wrong. Someone has got to bring it up. Someone has to put it right....and this is the simple POINT we are putting across.

So make the right choice. Vote wisely!!
