Happy Voting for coming Election day

1 more days to Election day (or Erection day?)...
Nowadays it’s all about politics; Clinton vs. Obama in the States and also our very own general election that falls on 8th March.


Although i not a voter for this election, but still i concern result of who/which party going to win the seat. Yesterday, i was having a interesting political talk with TIME. He told me which party he going to vote and who he may no vote for sure. But in the end, he told me that he not going to vote for coming election.

I decided to make up a small survey among friends. Ok, here:

Sample Size: 26 ppl (Both sex)
Age: 22 ~ 28 years old
Occupation: Degree and Diploma professional.
Race: *cough**same*cough** as*cough**me**cough. oh sorry, suddenly have a bad cough.
Method:

Asked them 2 only question and promised to make their name private. Here:

1) Are you going to vote this election?

2) Whether u going or not going to vote. If u have to vote, which party will u choose for state and Parliament? BN or Opposition? Don't care about the candidates, just party. And let say there are BN and all Opposition like PAS, DAP and PKR available to vote for your state.

Route: Doing the survey thru MSN, and SMS. (Sorry for those disturbed by my SMS early morning. :P)


Survey by MSN

Here the result:




State Parliament





BN

9 8
Opposition

17 18

See?

9 of those vote for BN is government servant.

Some out there are afraid of changes, just like someone who is stuck with government or a company waiting for promotion/salary increment. No career prospect but afraid of seeking another job. They scare if Opposition get the seat, it will cut down their allowance(which is quite a lot).

Some even said media influence them, "BN look so good and responsible". (Media really play a good role)

Some even told me that rumors saying government (or BN) have way to track government servant who not vote for BN. If they win the seat, they will find you and..... at least not taking you for a Teh Tarik, i sure. Anyway, it's really exists?


(Tracking Voter... It is really exists?)

Result showed that many going to vote for Opposition. It is not a surprising result. Some are so upset with the government, that it doesn't really matter who the candidate are, as long as he or she is in the Opposition. We call them as " angry voter".

We can't blame them, they unhappy with the high rate of inflation in our country. Some said BN= Barang Naik = Harga Naik.


(vote for the MSN party :P A promising government that will nudge you when you’re idle)

Our country’s economy and development seriously in ill condition. Our earning power is getting less and less compare to countries like Singapore and S.Korea, and they were in equal ground with us decades ago. Hey, we have abundance of natural resources ya know? While they have nothing ! Repeatedly, we can't blame them.


(This attitude of hawker will cause more inflation)

Incredible, some who are non-Muslims shamelessly said want to put a cross on the ballot paper for PAS. While his/her state only have BN and PAS, they rather to vote PAS than BN. (Wtf?!). Voter who going to vote like that really need a serious re-think.

We also vote for PAS (In Chinese)

Some told me they vote for BN. After further interview, they said they would like to vote Opposite, but they scare. It just like risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Surprising when i get the result where 22 of 26 NOT going to vote for coming election! Giving of variety of reason, far away from home, forget to register, scare to vote, busy on other thing....

Many countries today, young people are not voting. In the US, hardly 50% of eligible voters cast their vote in the last presidential election. In Malaysia, the high was back in 1964, with 78.9% of eligible voters showing up. Year 2008? We might not be able to do better than 70%, realistically.

Hey, you have your right to vote, and it is our duty to choose the right government, right?

(Choose the right door, for better future)

Don't just tell me “I fully support the BN, and I know they will win, so why should I voting?” Obviously, if enough people think the way you do, BN won’t win.

On the other side, don't tell me like this “I support the Opposition, but there’s no way they will win, so why should I voting?” Well, that’s why they don’t win.

It is our responsibility to vote.
Vote for the least worst. Doesn’t Malaysia deserve the least worst, right?


Lastly, here some interesting talk when i interviewing my friend:

Akira : "Which party you will choose for parliament and State?"
XXX : "Sure Chelsea Chelsea..."
Akira : " What the? I am not asking for Football lah, football guy." (-___-)
XXX : "Chelsea mean blue blue..."

LOL, Chelsea for BN? Nice one!!
How about PAS? PAS = Green= Brazil?
Then Rocket? Rocket = Red = Manchester United?



MU and Brazil too good for Rocket and PAS.
Maybe Rocket better to change to Red Dildo?


(It look like dildo, touch like dildo, but it is not dildo. It is only a hot dog)

Then PAS? Condom?


Condom

That is all for today. Happy Voting.
