TODAY, TODAY

Happy Merdeka
&
Happy Malaysia Day

The other day, I went to my local post office and got my name registered as a voter for the next general election :) Yes, shame on me. I think the elections are pretty soon. Could be as early as next year. Early March they say. The signs are everywhere. The sudden generosity from the PM across all board. Times like this is when you hope its election season all the time, because the rakyat gets lots of goodies – from salary increments, bonuses, senior citizens discounts, tax subsidize & exemptions, better service delivery, the roads are being tarred and…well, in some places, the local governments do crazy things like changing road signs.

Moving forward, in order to ensure that there is check & balance in the Federal & State government administration, I think it will be good for the BN to win back the states that they have lost back in 2008; namely Kedah, Perak, Penang & Selangor…and for the Opposition to win big in Johor, Pahang, Sarawak & Sabah :) There; both the BN & the Pakatan cannot do any more hanky-panky stuffs, but instead to fully concentrate on the real objectives which are nation building and economic construction.

i tried to register to vote from abroad the first year, in 2003 i think. it was because the high comm here said i could - then i found out later i couldn't, they gave me the wrong info.

i feel really sad that i can't vote and pass my opinion. it's definitely our responsibility and civic duty to vote =)

i also hope they stop the kindergarten fighting and concentrate on important issues. =(
