well..i'm not much into politics and all the hypes. i guess you could say that i'm one of the 40% youngsters who thought voting is not my main priority. of course, it is a privilege which must not be wasted.
polling candidates are puzzled as to why are all these people so passive about the voting -- for a better future so-called. a single voice or a small percentage of people could easily swing the country back to its track (yes...since the step up of pak cik Lah lah, just look at the state of our economy and how our country is being run. you know, i know, the rest is history)
i felt passive because:
1. no matter how DAP wins and how hard the opposition tries to challenge, point the flaws and fight, we couldn't deny the fact that the end-result is still very biased and controlled by one party who has the final say.
2. the way things are handled and done as well as how the system was...some people will still resort to accepting bribes BECAUSE : the poor gets poorer and the rich, gets filthy rich even more.
that is one fact to accept that when you are in power with wealth, you will make sure you oppress the lower income groups and make sure they stay where they are -- sadly poor. they reap all the benefits and let the under privileged ones rot in their grave.
corruption will be there because the millionaires want to be billionaires and the billionaires want to be gazillionaires while the poor can only dream of changing their current status.
that's why...both parties resort to -- corruption. (if you want to find a target to blame..you know who to blame.)
3. politicians all around are so fake! they do all the angelic good Samaritan acts and especially so during election period. all these for? more votes.
obviously good politicians exist but one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. and one good apple can't reverse the rotten apple state.
4. phantom voters, rewards for "right" voting, gerrymandering, buying politicians (so that the contesting ones win uncontested), threats and god knows what else.
5. i'm not registered yet -- even if i do, i'll still vote the opposition. what they have got to say are the facts. i don't like the idea of the government wasting tax payers' money on useless and unworthy projects which will be abandoned in the middle of its progress. all over malaysia, you could find abandoned buildings which are all green with moss.
(not to forget, sending a model up to space just coz he is a part time MODEL and achieved nothing significant but made us the laughing stork on the world stage. talk about embarrassments)
i was told that in klang a fight has broke out and in penang (DAP wins big) a riot is to be expected. see. the thing i don't get is, they just wouldn't lose with dignity.
when the party which they support lose, they just have to be emo and create a havoc rather than to take the lost like a man and reflect on what makes them lost. i was overwhelmed by how much publicity they put up on the media..and i felt reluctant to even read the news because all they are going to say is : we did this and we achieved that, so you should vote us and not them because they are this and that.
see? when you've got the money, you can bad-mouth every single individual. now, ain't that true...
alright, i will stop at 5 points as i just thought of this:
many people is fearing that riots will happen all over the country now that the election result is out. haha...that's what i meant by people who can't control their emotional and put their thoughts to action. they just want to create a mess just because they lost a toy. but malaysia ain't no toy! you don't run it well enough and that's that.
why want to ruin others' peaceful life?
another piece of news i heard is that the people in penang are stocking up on rice and other essentials because they are afraid that emo fellas will run amok on the streets. sighs.
i thought:
1. at least kl will be alright unless the forces and people in charge got their brain shrunk. kl is the major city and most business is focused in kl. if they allow yet another riot happens here and ruin what is left of our economy...then i don't know what to say.
2. penang is also another important tourism location and manufacturing hub...so i assumed that no matter what, they will keep the things there under control
maybe it's not perfect control but at least things wouldn't be as bad. i had a chat with my friend earlier on and she said that it may not be exactly so because even a bus or two of emotionally unstable lunatics will make a messy scene.
i can't disagree with her after the hindraf event. i just hope for the best. i mean..there is nothing more positive to look forward to (even after the Lah Lah steps down), so just to console myself a little, i just look at the bright side that malaysians are becoming more civilised because now, most people are receiving education and we know that fighting among ourselves can't make things better.
(fight more and perhaps singapore will look into things and offer a hand since i think they wouldn't like it if malaysians are fighting and then some start to sneak into their peaceful little island..hoho..then after that some 'tai kor' country is going to come into picture too; to rebuild their reputation)
oh, which was why when i was at starbucks, times today, i saw these bunch of teens who walk with the attitude like if they own the area; i felt so much like giving them a good slap and punch.
if anyone takes bus at the bus stop opposite pudu jail, you'll find a bunch of teens loitering there up to nothing good. they steal phones and harass younger kids for money and such. i'm not sure if the situation is better now or not because it has been 2-3 years since i last took a bus there.
geez...the way they walk and dress up and ride the bikes (like what, 3 bikes aligned adjacent to one another -- they think it's their dad's road that the cars wouldn't knock them down. right, if one has the license to kill ie. me, i'll be the first to run over them) !
alright..now time for links...well i had spent the past one hour reading here and there (pretty interesting you ask me..that's how i lost 1 hour and so neglecting my report...darn...i need MORE time! serious shyte the exam is looming in april and i just have no time to lose!!!!! but heck...these links ARE interesing) :
1. www.kennysia.com
he, da man, with a good combination sense of sarcastic humour (at times) and i particularly like the interview he did with the sarawak's YB as well as this:
quote:
By constitution, we are a secular state. That is the constitution. It was only Mahathir who is the only PM to say that we are an Islamic state. So far I think we are still a secular state, although we are moving towards Islamization of Malaysia.
i had been admiring mahathir for what he has done for malaysia..but that statement has got me fired up. but sighs..then again..give and take -- as long as the welfare of all ethnics is being taken care of, of course.

amazingly how the people are voicing out their frustrations on current coalition party this year..LOL

3. aljezeera
quoting:
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the Malaysian prime minister, told voters the night before the elections that they could cause instability and chaos if they abandoned BN, implying that racial tensions could flare up.
ya right..on what ground? some people are happy with the results and just too bad when some people are not. so your job is to make sure that the instability is restored regardless of the election outcome. talk about being fair to all. puh-leesh

alright..really have to stop now. i'm darn sleepy and i want to dream of the chocolate cream frap i had today.
one last sentence, regardless of whatever result it is...i am a proud anak Malaysia..eventhough i think some ruling person in charge is an idiot, the ruling system needs a re-vamp, the town planning is sucky and the transportation development is terrible....i'm still glad that i'm not living in some third world country (though we are..but we are better off in many sectors)
adios, cheers
line of the night : be civilised and don't act out of emotional...and...i just loathe mat rempits
