Post Election

I was overwhelmed by the election results as much as everybody else. Stayed up till about 4am, switching from RTM1, TV3 and Astro Awani for the results and political discussions (some panels were rather enjoyable but some were obviously tukang ampu..duh?). Actually enjoyed some of the panels' insights.

And what could I say? Both persons whom I voted won their DUN and Parliament seats. Yeahaa! And Selangor for once, fell to the Oppositions! Let's hope and pray that they stick to their manifesto and deliver their promises to the rakyat. I am excited to see the changes under the new state government.

For the sore losers, who didn't even want to hold press conference admitting defeat, come on lah! Be a gentleman like the former Penang CM. Mana Selangor, Kedah and Perak punya former MBs?

And, this morning, my sister called to inform that Datuk Z had died of heart attack (one of his daughters were supposed to report for duty at her company so she got the scoop..hehe..). Albeit all the controversies, Innalillahiwainnailaihirajiuun and al-Fatihah to him and condolences to his family. And yes, his DIL didn't win the DUN seat. It went to Badrul Hisyam of PKR with big majority (gila lah kalau the DIL menang- means something IS wrong with the people of Port Klang..hehe..)

So all the newly elected people, wake up and start working FOR the rakyat. We will be waiting and observing. Your fate will be destined in 4 years time..

Election Fever

I casted my vote at about 12 noon last Saturday. Shook hands with 2 of the 'perayu undi' from the party that I supported, and they reminded me "Jangan lupa, ya?" dengan senyuman meleret dan penuh erti...hehe...

Checked my name and IC at the SPR booth outside, and strangely the scribbled something on my 'saluran mengundi' paper. It was actually the page of the registered voters' booklet which my name was in and my number in the list. Aiks! There wasn't any scribbling during the 2004 voting so I naturally became suspicious. Manalah tau diorang ada link the numbers with the serial numbers of the voting papers ke..hehe.. So, I queried at the policeman stationed outside the voting room. Dia pun cuak sebab I banyak tanya soalan. About seminit jugak le baru lah I masuk dalam. Sampai orang kat dalam pun cuak sebab apesal I tanya banyak soalan kat polis tu?

Anyway, voted dengan jayanya dan keluar daripada pusat mengundi feeling satisfied for having a say in the forming of the next term's government..

Election, election...

I didn't really follow up on election news or campaigns this time around (I did go to a 'ceramah politik' during the 2004 election..heheh!). I didn't even watch the news eversince the dissolvement of Malaysian Parliament 2 weeks ago. Particularly because I have so many things to do, and especially because I've already known which candidates that I am going to vote for my DUN and Parliament seats. And I feel really 'meluat' of the media for keeping on polluting unsinful minds (literally translated from 'minda yang tidak berdosa' muehehehe..). Nampak sangat one sided campaign. Come on! As the media, rightfully, you should not be biased on any party. Let all parties use the media to channel their manifesto whatsoever. Then let the people decide. Ingat orang Malaysia ni tak boleh berfikir ke?
Or, if you are scared if all the parties using the media to reach to the people might cause havoc etc, then don't let ANY party use the media. Everybody must do all the campaigning etc the hard way, just like anybody else. Barulah ADIL! (pun intended..hehe.. But then, don't be misjudged. That isn't necessarily the party that I am going to vote this Saturday)
When you can watch and hear the advert "Inilah suara hati rakyat Malaysia bla bla..Saya rasa kerajaan BN umpama payung bla..bla..Pendidikan percuma (ye ke?) bla..bla..Subsidi..bla..bla.. Rakyat Malaysia masih boleh hidup dalam keadaan selesa (my foot) bla..bla.. Apa yang anda benar2 mahukan? Peluang pekerjaan bla..bla.. Undilah untuk Malaysia. Undilah Barisan Nasional" every 5 minutes on the national TV and all radio stations, young people (ekhem) like you and me tend to become very bored and menyampah. Silap-silap people might just turn to the other parties just because they are bored with this kind of propaganda.
Seriously, don't you think every government would do what our government is (or has been) doing now? Setakat pembangunan pendidikan, ekonomi, keselamatan and all other aspects of kehidupan rakyat ni, of course every elected government HAS to do it! Kalau tak buat, bukannya susah sangat. Next election, pilih je kerajaan lain. Tak payahla nak dibangga-banggakan dan diungkit-ungkitkan sangat. THAT IS YOUR JOB AS ELECTED GOVERNMENT.
By the way, if you are like me, who are bored with the advert (heheh!) please click here: http://www.malaysiakini.com/ for a refreshing views pulak. Asyik kena siram toksik je, sekali-sekala kena lah siram baja pulak kat our minds ni..hehe...
Just as footnote: I am currently residing in Port Klang. That's N46 with the current DUN (drumroll) Datuk Zakaria Md Deros of the famous MPK saga (if you don't know who this Datuk is, WHERE WERE YOU? Ala..yang ada ISTANA kat Pandamaran tu haa... Bukan setakat rakyat Klang kena tipu, Sultan pun dia berani tipu daaa...Sekarang dah kena lucut jawatan dah..) Kalau tak tau jugak, refer to this: http://the-malaysian.blogspot.com/2006/10/port-klang-state-assemblyman-zakaria.html But seriously, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? heheh!
And now (drumroll lagi), the new candidate of BN is Roselinda Abdul Jamil. Siapakah ini Roselinda? Jeng jeng jeng! None other than Datuk Z's DAUGHTER-IN-LAW! Boleh? Nak buat kesinambungan ke hapa? Alahai.....
Nasib baik I bukan mengundi kat Port Klang..hahaha...(eh! Ada kena mengena ke? keke)
