Time for Change, Vote for Opposition

Its finally the wee hours of election day, come 8 o'clock people will start lining up outside schools, halls and other voting stations throughout the country to have a say in Malaysia's future. Its the right and responsibility of every eligible citizen to go out and vote, its a responsibility that must be taken seriously and it ultimately impacts the way this country will be governed the next 5 years.

I just can't help how MCA, MIC and Gerakan leaders go about pleading the electorate for votes, "you don't vote us there'll be no Chinese or Indian representation in government" .... to me thats the problem in todays Malaysia..race based politics.. UMNO for the Malays, MCA for the Chinese and MIC for the Indians it then becomes a coalition of convenience in which no one really has a say in anything except UMNO. Off course MIC and MCA MP's don't get to speak up on issues effecting their constituents for fear of UMNO's wrath.

We can put a stop to their shenanigans and mismanagement by voting opposition come voting time and if we're lucky we'll have a strong opposition or if miracles indeed happens we'll be looking at a new ruling coalition come sunday morning. Well impossible can be conquered, it has been done before why not here in Malaysia instead for a change? We can precisely do that by voting opposition instead it doesn't matter who it could be... the moon, the double moon or the rocket just as long as its not the dacing. As I like to tell people these days "undi dacing dapat cacing". We should vote for parties who represent all Malaysians and take into heart the interest of all Malaysians in their agenda. Parties who go about keris waving, scare monggering, who tolerate corrupt practices, tolerate gender discrimination i'e the bocor saga, racism in parliament i.e the bugger from Jerai.... should be voted out and never let back in...and one fine day when we finally have a 2/3rds majority we can may be legislate the outlawing of race based political parties, to me that will be wonderful.

As for now, just go out and vote, show these buggers who really is the boss.Every vote counts and its secret.. ballot papers have serial numbers no more and you are not liable to anyone else on your choice except your own conscience.
