Never give a damn about politics. Never care to find out who wins what seat. Never know the importance of an ADUN to represent the people. That is how ignorance I was to the Malaysian politics. But that was before. This year the battle is so interesting that it keeps me awake all night just to see the outcome of Election 2008.
The result was outrageous and against the norm. Even the most predictable thing like 100% win for blue-and-white “dacing” people in the state down-under proves to be wrong.
It has to be the worst record ever documented in the history of the “dacing” party. No doubt in the last 5 decades, they have done their level best in taking up the role of the government. But in this 12-th general election, they have taken the wrong tactics in winning the people’s heart. Arrogance has pulled them down. Overexposure in the mainstream media has made the voters, especially urban voters, very angry. Not to mention their policies and decisions that affect the bread-and-butter of the citizens. It reflects the unfairness in Malaysian politics..and err..corruption. Well, let’s not delve into the latter here coz that’s one hot and sensitive issue to discuss.
The ‘dacing’ people has to learn from the cue given by the people and improve from there on. They might have been in their comfort seats all this while, so to learn that what happened is actually resulted from themselves, must be something hard to do. Personally, I would say that the result is derived from “vote of no confidence” to the government, and not because the people has sided the opposition. So if the “dacing” can replant the confidence in its people, I am sure they can make amend the whole situation.
All in all, they are still choosen as the government. I have nothing against it. But now, we have a balanced parliament, with the opposition taken more than 1/3 of the seats. Thus, decision making is not as easy as before. Persidangan pun takdelah macam meeting kawan-kawan. I love the fact that there is a check and balance in Malaysian politics. I hope with this, our rights and say are heard, and anticipates this to be the best for us Malaysian citizens.
If it proves to be wrong, than we could rectify this problem in the 13th General Election.

i'm 50-50 about the results. All I know I hope that Malays wont become like S'Pore Malays. And I pity what other previous PMs had done for our country that is now in the drain. I hope we are not going to be paying through our noses with this election.
I hope the Malays will unite soon coz at then of the day, being a non-Malay sama untung if u are under oppostion or govt. But not for the Malays. A lot at stake. So be careful.
Penang already abolish NEP. So good luck to the Malays there. That is what you wanted!
You cannot expect Pak Lah to undo the wrongdoings of the previous leader who had 20 yrs to plunder the country's wealth for his sons.
UMNO money politics did not start 4 yrs ago.
Anwar will go down in history as pengkhianat Melayu.
salam,
samalah, selama ni pun saya tak amik pot ngan hal politik tapi kali ni berlainan :)
tak sabar tunggu perbahasan dlm parlimen
menanti penuh debar apa akan berlaku dlm perhimpunan agung umno nanti
x pe, BA buat kerja tak betul pulak, nnti akan ada pilihanraya akan dtg, betul tak? tp,kalau depa buat kerja betul, lelahlah BN nak dptkan 5 negeri tu balik.
i'm on the fence. for personal reasons, i will not vote for non-BN. but because the pack leading the BN nowadays are not reliable, i chose not to vote. will watch from afar to see whether this result will bear positive fruit. if it does, then good. if it doesnt, i hope 5 years isnt long enough to do any damage.
i pon lebih kurang macam tu... tak amik pot pon dulu..
cuma i tak suka kita vote politic party , bukan candidate.. padahal some of the candidates that lost memang work hard and fight for rights and turun padang.
bila lah mentaliti voters nak bertukar kan?
a good government needs a strong opposition, for check and balance. so, i am hoping for the best out of this..
salam..sis..if u dont mind..boleh email saya exact location of ur new house n the price... dania_saffiya@yahoo.com
tq ya..:D
