Election 2013


all these 5.5-change-government topic is getting out of hand: Should a good people's representative be sacrificed just because he is with one of the coalition party in BN? You're changing someone who really fights for people for someone who wants to overthrow the ruling government BN.

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) But at what cost?

That being said, not ALL BN leaders are corrupt. Not ALL PKR leaders are clean either. After reading through some news on Facebook, it suddenly struck me at this middle of the night:

What are we actually fighting for - to overthrow the current ruling government? or to elect someone from our residential area who can fight for our rights and serve the people?

To look from the other side of the fence, the corrupted must be brought down. Nevertheless, should the noble one be sacrificed just so that ruling party can be brought down?

五月五,换政府 - but really, the question I want you to ask yourself is:

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) But at what cost?

I never like coalition. 50 years ago UMNO, MCA, MIC etc formed coalition BN to rule the government. 50 years years later we have DAP, PKR, PAS etc forming coalition PR to overthrow the ruling government, whose flaws are clearly to be seen.

What I fear in this election is that - people vote for the PR just because PR is a big-enough alliance to overthrow BN. And frankly, what I fear is becoming a reality. I had(yes, had) high hopes that the Rakyat are exposed enough to see this. So much of disappointment, nevertheless. Exactly how I felt for Bersih and stuffs - promising positive attempt, but poorly responded. I'm not talking about Rakyat's responds, but how it developed.

The effectiveness of democracy with parliament only comes with ONE precondition: The (majority of the) members should have adequate intelligence level. Anything other than that is stumbling-block for country's development. Democracy is good in the sense of precision, but whether or not it is accurate, it depends on the intelligence of the members to hit the true mark. For reference in case you don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.mathsisfun.com/accuracy-precision.html

I'm not saying I'm supporting BN, nor does this indicate that I support PR. I'm just here to remind you all: Know what you're fighting for. And whatever you do, ask yourself these questions:

Are we voting for change in government? Or are we voting someone who can serve us Rakyat?
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) But at what cost?

Everything has its cost. Do you know yours?
