Let the campaign begins!!

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everyone,
So the battle of words has finally, truly begans. The election campaign has intensified after the candidates' nominations has been submitted on Sunday, 24th February 2008. And most of them, it seems, will be one-on-one match. Most people has already known that BN has won 10 seats unchallenged. While PAS has won 1 seat in the same manner. So, in the next two weeks we will be able to watch the campaigns and promises each party will offer to voters if they're chosen. Especially BN as they controlled the mainstream media, they're able to advertise on TV and mainstream newspapers for their campaigns. 

While the Opposition has limited space to do their part in the campaign. From my point of view, this is totally unacceptable as this clearly shows that the media is biased towards the ruling party. The media supposed to give equal footing for the Opposition to advertise their campaigns  as well. So we can see that the Opposition has only their own newspaper and websites as their media to advertise their campaigns. So I can only hope that one day the situation will change where we're able to see campaigns from both sides on the mainstream media. So let's hope that one day it will become a reality in this beloved country.

And another thing. I have always hope that one day UMNO and PAS will unite under one party unlike now. If we're unite, then the other races will not look down and try to manipulate us for their own gains. But unfortunately I still short of information on this one. So I also urged people to hope that this will become a reality one day.

Erm... I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again...

Malaysia's 12th General Election is coming!!!

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everyone,
Although the general election only started after 24th February, which the candidates' nomination day, the election fever has broke out all over the country since the day Pak Lah dissolved the Parliament last week. Everyone has been asking each other where are they gonna vote (only those who eligible to vote, of course, which is applicable to those above 21 years of age). 

Well, there are some frustrated faces seen from two days ago, when each party starts to name their 
candidates for  each seats by each state (both state and parliament seats).  These are noticable from those who has been phased out from the list of candidates to those whose names are not available in the SPR, thus unable to vote. On major media, whether they are the mainstream media or the alternative media i.e. Oppositions media, there's already war of words, propagandas, manifesto and many more happened between them.

And during this period, you can also observe the situation where some MP's suddenly appears from out of nowhere and visits the people under his/her constituency and gives out lots of promises. I don't even want to think about what kind of promises they made to those people. Anyway, during this time, I can say that "the power is in your hands"(unauthorised usage of words taken from Celcom's ad, hahaha). This is the time when you possess the power to choose which candidate that you think is the best to represent your constituency. For some people, they choose the party while some other people tends to choose the person who can actually do the work regardless of which party he/she represents. For me, I'll go with the latter. But, unfortunately I'm unable to vote as I'm yet to register as a voter. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I didn't want to vote, it's just that I couldn't get to register in the constituency where my hometown is as I have different  address in my IC. So, I think that I will need to change the address in my IC before I register as a voter.

But for those who already registered and eligible to vote, do your stuff. Choose your representatives carefully. I don't care whether you're going to vote for BN or Oppositions (PAS, DAP, Keadilan) or Independent but do what you must do. I think that's all for now.
Till then shall we meet again...
