Different point of view!!!

Malaysian always can not come to agreement when talking about politic. Issues like whether Malaysia is Islam State, the NEP, etc.

I am very tired of hearing all this, not that I avoid it or don't care. But I know that we will not be come to agreement in another thousand years. I don’t think that there are right or wrong on this kind of issue but rather how we can compromise.

Many of us are afraid of losing our culture and identity but from the way I see it, we already lost most of it and we continue to do so. Why? Because when we are talking about globalization is not only in term of economy but also culturally and socially. Don’t forget that the nice D&G shirt and the LV handbag you carry now is not part of your culture either. The cross culture merging is inevitable whether you like it or not. Why not we take the best from others and blend it into something great that we can pass it to our children. Don’t forget that interracial marriage is on the rise too.

Forget about our differences, we are voting for better democracy system, not for a party or single person. It doesn’t matter who is the opposition, what is your race or what is your religion; all we need is the balance of power. At this point, BN is having the ‘almost’ absolute power. So, we need to come out and show to them who are the boss.

Fair Election???

I still not sure that if our country will ever have a fair election. Recently, a NGO has organized a gathering to demonstrate and to push for fairer election; However, even before it can be materialized, the request for permission of mass gathering has been rejected by the police. So much for the "democratic" country.

However, on the other hand, the "ruling party" is free to use any mean, including the TV, to promote their popularity. In my point of view, as long as the government has not been able to take over by the opposition parties, it is no way that our media can become independent and the corruption will continue, regardless what the so-called leaders says.

Without a proper check-and-balance measurement in place, there are no motivation for anyone to do so.

What can you do to help???

Come out and vote.

Made your voice been heard.

Show them that we, the people, are the boss of the country and not them. Whoever running the government is just the servant who was given the directive to do so.

PEOPLE RULES!!!
