::: just my thought, a monkey or a newbie thought ::: Malaysia 12th General Election 2008

most of what i about to say is based on my own opinion and chat with friends and closeby also from what i see currently happen in Penang on this election only and not about the politics inside. just a commoner view.
first; banners, poster and flags! not sure about other states in Malaysia but in the state of Penang this is seriously sickening and unpleasant. waste of time and a money and not to mention a lot of paper. save the green konon! what is wrong? there is no such need for 3000pcs poster and flags on one single straight street of a kilometer, hello! we are commoners, the public but if you realised, we are not blind. a few nicely (professionally) done billboard is sufficient enough! you are competing to represent the peoples not who have the most good looking face on a poster. also, because there is a lot of rain and so windy lately those poster is flying everywhere because it's not properly installed. some even blocking the road sign and worst the traffic light. i can't see the green light hello !!????? we vote because you are a good peoples representative not because you are good looking. those thing makes my proud state looks ugly. very ugly and i'm sad.

this is not a paid post by bn, i am as same as many of you hoping for the opposition to make miracle but i know by fact and reality of this country it's almost impossible. any of us ever wonder what will actually happen if the opposition win this election. what will happen to all the big project that currently on going in penang? will it stop? if the opposition won the battle; will the central keep supplying the state opposition government with fund for the development? this worry me! as much as i want the opposition to have a strong hold this coming election within penang state because the past years we had a sleeper that ruin everything.... but will it help?

i don't really care about the fuel and bla bla bla.. i can live with that. well, if we could spend a couple hundred on boozes why i want to even make a huge shout about all that. can't afford the fuel, it's too expensive for you? change to a smaller car. no?

the only most important thing in malaysia that needed to be change SHOULD be the NEP, not saying demolish the system but change it to serve it's real purpose. we are over 50 years of independence now. NEP should be altered and serve it's purpose for the helpless and poor regardless of the race, "for malaysian" not only the bumi. the current system have flaws, like Datuk Seri Anwar once said "it should meant to help the bumi community but not by giving 5% off when a bumi buy a condominium that cost a million ringgit" the NEP should be change and give all it's benefits to all Malaysian of any races that need it and not some bumi Datuk or Tan Sri.

based on most ppl that i spoke to, likely the opposition will win much more seat this coming election, but well, if you see clearly... it's basically chinese fighting chinese and most penangite chinese that have dis-satisfaction and against the government still thinking the differ. as we all know the opposition which mainly a party form by the chinese is against the BN chinese party, BN U have their seat secured watching from a secure distance. let's make is this way... just an example:

Penang = company with 100% share
BN Umno with 30% (secure)
BN Gerakan & MCA with 30%
Democratic 20%
People Justice with 10%
P or etc with 10%

BN owns the total of 60% so they are the company director.

If after election.. now the share only moves among BN Gerakan&MCA - Democratic - People Justice

BN Umno with it's secure 30%
BN Gerakan & MCA 15%
Democratic gained 9% = 29%
People Justice gained 6% = 16%
P or etc with 10%

who is the boss? who will be the state next CM? why the announcement after election? if after election they told you that the suppose to be CM Chinese candidate in BN G or MCA already lost? then who takes the place?

this is just a personal view without any proper information's. Happy voting and hoping for a better Malaysia.
