They’ve started to re-pave the road leading into the kampong near my house, so I’m thinking the elections are coming soon. The last time they paved the pothole-ridden asphalt road was like, 5 years ago (go figure).
As any responsible Malaysian, you should go and register and vote. Here’s a few good reasons why.
Four Good Reasons To Register And Vote During the Election
- Legit bragging rights with your under-age friends that, “I’ve voted in the elections because I KNOW my vote COUNTS in making this great COUNTRY a better place, man.”
- Free political party buttons.
- You get to knock off early from work ‘to go and vote’. Usually, people take enough time to sneak back home for a snooze, have a kopi tarik at the mamak, THEN go and vote about 4.50pm.
- It’s just one BIG Malaysian Idol / AFUNDI contest, but with contestants that sing less and talk more.
I haven’t really voted that often, seeing that I just took my SPM a few years ago (ahem), but I remember the last one very well. I had to hitch a ride from my neighbours motorcycle since my car was blocked by too many cars jamming up the roads.
In the 5 minutes I rode pillion with the nice Indian uncle that lived on the next street, I had to listen to him talk about ‘this politician who has a Swiss bank account’ and ‘how corrupted that guy running in my wife’s constituency is’.
Next time I’m walking to the polling station. All 500 meters from my house to there.

I used to think voting is a waste of energy since we would know who wins in the end. But since the opposition members won over in my CITY in a landslide, now its getting interesting 😛

I’m looking forward to my first vote in the general election. The last time I did not made it because of late registration. I’m sure there will be some changes in the votes this time.

if this is American Idol, who is Simon Cowell? XD

“Simon Cowell” is the Malaysian blogosphere.
But the contestants have the power to whack bloggers down and lie to the audience convincingly. Plus most of the contestants can’t sing for shit, will resort to rigging the votes if they could, and then ass-rape the audience later when they win.

infectioner & avoerisz – unfortunately, bloggers still don’t have that kind of clout, yet.
