In the year 2008, Malaysia is having it's 12th General Election. As many of you know that the General Elections takes place once every 5 years usually and then the Parliament will dissolve. BUT, the 12th General Election this year is actually brought forward one year from the so called "expiry date" of the Parliament. Why!? These are political issues that have been speculated by many and i personally have my own speculation, BUT we are not going to talk about it here.
AND THEN, on the 12th of February, news was out in the newspaper nationwide that the elections will not be held on the 13th February which was the date that many parties speculated that the Parliament will be dissolved on that day because the number 13 is Pak Lah's favourite number.. The claim in fact comes from Pak Lah. BUT the following day, on the 13th of February, Pak Lah dissolved the Parliament. Why!? (suspense...sensitive issues not going to be discussed here)
Ok,now on my point of views...
If you ask me,Is 2008 General Election a fair one? Definitely not.
I'll just give one example why. These days watching TV is so frustrating to me and I'm sure all of you feel the same way(unless you watch ASTRO or DVD movies only). As many of us can see, the media is so polluted with all Barisan Nasional advertisements. My bro got bored of it and actually counted and he found out that during the 5 minutes plus minus interlude between a particular Chinese drama, there are altogether 5advertisements out of 8 altogether, sometimes even more than 5. Haiz..
Firstly, I feel it is not fair to waste Malaysian's money by the government on advertisement for their own sake and profit. Their claim is always, Barisan Nasional is the best choice and BLAH BLAH BLAH. You know what, they don't have to make claims as if we Malaysians don't have eyes to see and ears to hear. We know that they only make promises and promises but only keep some of them and many are not done perfectly. If you guys notice, nice and sweet to hear promises happens only during elections. Why? To win the rakyat's heart la. Don't worry BN, we'll vote for the better party.
WHAT HAS GONE WRONG IN MALAYSIA AND TO MALAYSIA?
EDUCATION
Talking bout dirty politics in Malaysia(Politicians doing whatever they like for their own pleasure,benefit and to pujuk pujuk the rakyat), I tell you MALAYSIA is the only country in the whole wide world using EDUCATION as a lure to the rakyat to get VOTES. This is the main reason why Malaysia's education quality has fallen way poor compared to the older days. For example last year, just because elections is to be held on this year, the number of Jit Sin students who succeeded in the application of the JPA scholarship is as much as 30 or more compared to the year before which is only 3 students out of many whom had applied... You see, what a greater disgrace to the Malaysian education system where you see more and more students getting A's and even full A's in the UPSR, PMR and SPM. The numbers are myriad and that also means that the value of an A has fell greatly. What is the government trying to prove? Malaysian's are getting brighter as a result of their leadership??!! HNG! WAY NO! This only proves that the Malaysian education has lost its value, it's quality. See what a disaster they have generated just to pujuk the rakyat for votes. Come on...No use la! You government only make Malaysia worst. Look now at our local Universities. NONE IN TOP 100. You will be shock if I tell you the figure. University Malaya was ranked 89 in year 2004 to rank 246 in year 2008. University Sains Malaysia's ranking is 111 in 2004 and dropped to rank 309 this year. What a disgrace to us Malaysian just because of extreme poor management by our education system(Erm, you know la..it's the fault of the leader lor..who else?)
RECOGNITION
October 2007, Malaysia sent her very own first Astronaut to space. The primary aim and objective is to what?? I don't think you can guess it right because who sends people out to space to test whether Malaysian food is edible or not in space OR try to make teh tarik and roti canai? After many criticism, they included conducting an AIDS vaccine experiment on space see got what difference...And also to be known by the world la, gain recognition lo. (Because hor, where got country willing to fund billions of her own citizens money for a SPACE TOURIST??)
After honourable speeches and beautiful send away of our astronaut to space and receiving him back, please tell me hor, WHERE IS THE REPORT!!! YOU,Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, CLAIMED ON TV THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN DOWN ALL YOUR EXPERIENCES IN YOUR SO CALLED DIARY...WHERE IS IT!!!!!!!!!! You've wasted MALAYSIAN'S MONEY and you come back with NOTHING!!!!!!! I feel that after wasting our Income Tax money which can be made for other better usage YOU BETTER LET US MALAYSIAN's see your REPORT!
"Ahem,sorry for being loud just now, actually I'm very excited ma, space wo, how is it like I wanna know ma, I remembered I heard someone up there claimed that who knows one day we will end up living in space after the destuction of planet earth and your diary will be like a bible to us to teach us how to live in space, not meh?" lol..
Before I end, I would like to share with you readers on my personal favourite, a video actually, done by my favourite comedians... Allan Perera and Indi Nadarajah!
Election.. BLAH BLAH BLAH!
