With one week before D-Day, Malaysians will cast their votes to decide who will run the country for the next term. Tactics and warfare are quickly deployed by both the BN (National Front) and Opposition to outdo each other to get the voters to make the wise decision on who will best represent them in the government.
After looking at the list of candidates field by both group of BN & Opposition, i wonder the candidates (calon) that are being put in to field against each other, are they capable? Have a passion to serve the people or it is just been used as a puppet to serve others. Malaysians must decide that the candidates that we are going to choose to represent us must have a set of good track records are able to withstand pressure from the ever changing political landscapes. Are we going to choose the rep based on party or emotions?
In my humble opinion, we must make a choice based on issues not on people.This is a chinese saying which stands true over 5,000 years of history. The rational behind this logic will help whoever is good and willing to serve will continue to serve and the support will come on its own. If we based on people, we can get emotional and might be distorted by unsrupulous people that have their agenda and in the end the poor citizens will lose out again.
Take for example, in the Lembah Pantai constituency, the challenge between incumbent Dato Seri Sharizat and Nurul Izzah. One from BN and one from Keadilan. Who will one choose? I would prefer to see track records here. Shahrizat has been going around her kawasan diligently and has so far delivered what she has promised and the people there love and adore her. For Nurul Izzah, she’s a nice girl in my viewpoint. Can she deliver? or is she contesting on behalf of her father, Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim who will make her a full puppet? hmmm poor shahrizat, it is not even a fair fight for her. Poor izzah have to take instructions from her dad but know nothing bout political system.
In Kelana Jaya, the candidate Loh Gwo Burne as reported by the STAR few days ago, he said he will lose 2 votes in the place. One is V.K.Lingam, and the other one himself. Why himself because he is not even register as a voter. I don’t think we need a wakil rakyat that do not even know when is the deadline to register as a voter. He can’t even take care of himself, then how to take care of the people?
hmmm, let us ponder this while i go for my dinner. Tomorrow will be exciting.
