The 12th Malaysian General election is here again, i’m definitely casting my vote. Hope there won’t be a repeat of the fiasco the last time around, when all of us had to wait for 4 hours in the blazing sun only to find our names were NOT on the electoral list. I only got to vote (at 4pm in the afternoon) when i followed a rumor that they had changed my polling station to another school at the last mnute.
Anyway, come March 8, please go and vote. After that, you can join me at the coffeeshop for a mid-morning break.
Top Ten Things Heard During the 12th Malaysian General Election Campaign
- “No, sir, this is a polling station, NOT a condo sales launch.”
- “Yang Berhormat, how come you haven’t updated your blog for so long? And have you ever considered doing a political ceramah podcast? Youtube campaign?”
- “Screamyx is gonna be super-crawling slow right until March 8. It’s all a secret conspiracy…mumble-mumble…Anwar’s facebook…whisper-whisper…youtube video…mumble-mumble…party’s election fund…”
- “OMG, that ‘Yang Berharap Johan’ cartoon series in the papers is SO UN-funny. Or is it suppose to be a lame attempt at satire? Give me Lat anyday.”
- “I’m sorry, Datuk YB. Yes, I have a question. Which party are you from, again?”
- “Sori ah boss? These month cannot deliver your order of plastic bags ah? Got national shortage ah, everybody printing election poster… Call back April la.”
- “The Malaysian Elections is a bit like American Idol. But with less good looking people. And no Simon Cowell.”
- “How come Karpal Singh never come and contest in my here in Kundang Remis Darat? I’m dying to vote for him since the 80’s!”
- “Have you SEEN the new party campaign video with YB breakdancing to the Pussycat Dolls’ “Dontcha” on Youtube? I have GOT to send it to you!”
- “So which parliamentary constituency is that Mohd Barack bin Obama running in? Lembah Pantai?”

Very sadly, I reckon this is kinda true.

Simon, if you were bimbo and blonde, the “I’ve got to send to you” could come out of your mouth, like totally wtf.
I’m interested in watching the mud slinging, but I don’t think I’ll ever vote next time. To make a decision between a continue-die-party or an I-can-bitch-about-current-ruling-party, is difficult.
Well, doesn’t matter lah they all bitch about each other.
