The papers are all over of it. TV ads have things on it. Many people in Malaysia is talking about it ...
Yup, the General Election No. 13 is about to happen within 2 months after the dissolution of the parliament.
The reason that this General Election, or GE in short, is emphasised by many people in Malaysia is the fact that this could be (I said 'could') the closest GE for the oppositions to take over the country. Both sides are now in the election fever, doing whatever they can to woo voters to vote for them, just that this time they had been using social media to persuade younger voters, who are more connected online. Both sides have their own manifestos, which both sides argued that who's copying who's manifestos.
This time around, the emphasis goes on a statement that I have felt bored to listen to it: '... To make Malaysia a better, more developed, safer, advanced nation ...' (or something like that). Now, that's my first time listening to this type of statement, which it hadn't happened about 2 GEs ago (I'm not sure about the GEs before the 2004 version). Politicians urged for it. TV ads empowering it. I thought that it won't be nice if my Facebook wall is 'spammed' with these messages within this period of time.
Besides, there are various statements like '... Voting is a responsibility for each and every Malaysians ...', '... We (political party) have ensured all of the people got their benefits on various aspects. Vote for us, we'll promise you with our manifestos ...' and a whole lot more.
The most irritating type of statements from both political parties is the offensive type. You know, food/cat/pillow/(you name it) fight between politicians of both sides. It's absolutely ridiculous and disgusting that it's so not worth it to be published on paper. Come on, powers-to-be. Show that you are a politicians who will help the people and make progress for the country, not a 3-year-old toddler crying after someone took your toy away. Imagine how many trees can be freed from been chopped down and how many rubbish can be avoided just by eliminating these 'bullship' (thanks Ryan) from the holy piece of news transmitter.
Even I am not eligible to vote in this GE, but I hoped that for this election:
1. Don't create chaos in the public, whether you are from/supporting either side.
2. Politicians can carry out their speech in a proper way.
3. Please don't involve any racy or religious cases.
4. Please don't do something dumb to spoil the fairness and transparency of the GE.
5. If, AND EVER IF, the oppositions made history for being the government, I hope that the current government party will accept the reality with sportsmanship, and obey the first three hopes mentioned above.
As for the independent candidates and the minority parties, good luck on your aim to get as much votes as you can.
As for the candidates of the two biggest political allies, erm ... all the best and let's see who made it.
As for me, I thought that focusing on my own stuff would be a good way to avoid this boring issue. And please, frankly please, don't do a house visit within my residential area ......
