Ahfook’s Story

Makkal Sakti probably is one of the famous phrases for this 12th General Election besides ‘time to change’, ‘korek korek korek’, ‘再转变’, ‘enough is enough’, ‘BN = Barang Naik’ and etc. This phrase is used by HINDRAF with the meaning of ‘people power‘. This is so true especially Malaysians have denied Barisan Nasional’s 2/3 majority with their votes, which I never thought would happen before.

Congratulations, Malaysians, and thanks for those who dare to make change, and gave a chance to Barisan Rakyat. Remember in democratic country, WE ARE THE BOSS!

Barisan Nasional - You guys better manage Malaysia well, if Malaysia still runs in bad condition, people will pull you down entirely in coming General Elections.

Barisan Rakyat - Congrates! The people has given you guys a chance, take this opportunity to learn how to run your governments and do what you have promised before. But remember, we can vote you in, we can vote you out too!

I’ve exercised my right as a Malaysian this morning

Early in the morning, aroun 7am, I woke up and took LRT to Kelana Jaya picked up my mum, using my aunt’s car. Then drove to Seri Petaling, to cast our votes. Mum had her leg operation last year so her leg is weak, need to sit on the wheel chair. So I pushed her into polling station, which is SK Seri Petaling.

However, our polling rooms were located at second floor, how could she climb up to second floor while she is having problem of walking? Luckly there were 2 SPR staffs helped me to carry my mum up to the second floor to cast her vote, then carried my mum down to ground floor again. SPR should consider about handicap people and open up a special polling streams for those handicap peoples in next General Elections.

After I cast my vote, I sent my mum home and then take LRT back home. So let’s see how’s things turn out tonight.

Waited for few years, now this is the time to change! Mar 8 2008, the 12th Malaysian General Election!

Change, doesn’t mean make Barisan Rakyat as government, because there are still a lot of votes will go to Barisan Nasional (you know where are the votes from), new government will be led by Barisan Nasional as usual. But, I believe that the seats will not as many as 2004 General Election. This is a long revolution to build a real democratic country, and 2008 General Election is the starting point of this revolution. In a real democratic country, strong opposition parties can monitor the ruling parties effectively to ensure benefits of the people, or even take over the government if the rulling parties are not good enough, just like US, UK and Australia.

My district is Seputeh parliamentary seat (no state assemblies), so DAP is my only choice. You have my vote, Teresa

Don’t know who to vote? Perhaps these photos would help you.

*Update Mar 4 2008*
See what Abdullah Badawi talked about his 2004 promises at The Star.

Every General Election, every party spends a lot of money on advertisements, posters, billboards… especially Barisan Nasional, with their sweet propagation and promises.

Now, before 12th Malaysian General Election, I would like to highlight the propagation and promises advertised at newspaper at 2004 General Election. In 2004, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi was a new Prime Minister, his appearance has given new hopes to Malaysians, with his promises like fighting corruptions, reform the government to be more efficient and more transparent, reduce criminal cases, decrease the racial gap and live up harmony society, “I want to listen to truth”, “Not work for me, but work with me”, so on and so forth. MCA even described Abdullah Badawi as Bao Gong, a Chinese judge in Dynasty Song that famous with his high integrity and fairness.

Let’s have a look back these advertisements and his promises (in Chinese):

4 years passed, how many promises that he had achieved?

• Zakaria Mat Deros… He able to build a house that can be called palace, no one is checking him.
• Someone who taking bribe still a minister but someone who reporting a bribe is being accused.
• Khairy, his son-in-law, from time to time flaming up the issues between races, then he could have demonstration against Condoleezza Rice, and police automatically issue the gathering permit to him, but all demonstrations called up by non-government bodies were either banned, brutally dismissed or blamed with untrue facts, even at International Human Rights Day, demonstrators were charged in court because of organizing peaceful gathering, which is granted legally under constitution.
• Hishammuddin, giving speech with his unfriendly gestures to non-Bumi races, but didn’t get any ISA actions, while people fight for their rights were detained under ISA.
• MCA and MIC, can’t fight for the rights for their own people, while acting as slaves of UMNO, not dare to voice up any unjustified decisions and unproper statements made by UMNO.
• I laughed out loud when the Zainuddin being interviewed by Al-Jazeera, his English make Malaysian ashame. I also very frustrated with his Information Ministry where controls the media and threaten them to cover Barisan Nasional’s bad stories with their annually renewed media permits.
• More and more toll gates were built, why we still need to pay road tax?
• The astronaut project, spent billions of ringgit that paid by us, what do we benefit from it?
• Could you walk in midnight alone without fear of getting robbed or raped?
• Could you leave your mobile phone or laptop in the car and go shopping without worry?
• If you are from sin city Johor Baru, did you get snatched or robbed before?
• During 2006 Johor flood, Abdullah Badawi didn’t stay in Malaysia stand by for the Rakyat, but went to Australia to launch a Nasi Kandar restaurant for his relatives.
• And now they are spending our hard earn money to advertise them again, with senseless advertisements.

The Malaysian constitutions are getting challenged even worse after Abdullah Badawi took over, Lingam case, alteration of the constitution just to allow Abdul Rashid retire 1 year later. Abdul Rashid promised his SPR will run a fair and clean Election, but more and more phantom voters are discovered in passed few weeks, but no action was taken, another big liar.

This boy from Penang was passed away last year August. His family checked their own election detail, and they checked together for this boy:

with shocked, his family discovered that his IC has been assigned to a girl, from Puchong, named V.Nalynna Anak Perempuan Visvanathan. News from Nanyang.com

Those are just a little portion of problems that appear under the administration of current government, google yourself for more, or visit here.

Barisan Nasional, is a government full with liars, corrupters, racists, chauvinist pigs, cowards, idiots… Do you still want them to be your government? It’s time to change.
