watching the broadcast of elections results was an interesting experience. results which were favourable to the parties which probably owned the tv station was announced first. unfavourable results were not released till much later.
the commentators... they are another joke. their comment was that areas where the opposition parties won, are areas where there were substantial number of voters who did not turn up. these commentators further said that these are probably people who are confident that the ruling party would win, and therefore decided to stay home and not vote!!!
it seems certain people "tak insaf"... as a matter of fact, "bertambah angkuh"...*sigh*
as far as i know, i have heard ,first hand, from a number of civil servants that they would not be able to vote for opposition because there is a serial number on the ballot paper. and they do not wish to jeopardise their chances for promotion. which made me think... could the opposition have won by a bigger majority?
what is a serial number doing on the ballot paper anyway?? isn't there a better way to prevent phantom voters???
thepapers again have sided certain parties. apparently selangor "fell" to opposition. i say, selangor was "won over"... but who can blame newpapers when i heard they have licenses which are renewable yearly!!?
i think those who said "we are shocked!" or "we didn't know what happened..?!!" ... are stupid. afterall, big changes like these are hardly ever sudden. if the person has been doing his/ her job, the signals would have been there. they would have been forewarned. they would know that this is coming. obviously, then, somebody's not doing his/ her job.
then newspapers were also hinting that there might be re-allocation of funds which were originally allocated for states now ruled by the opposition. is that a threat? well, i think the rakyat is done being bullied. we will just have to standby our voted representatives and help them help us!
It was said that the uneducated ones in the kampungs in sabah & sarawak were bought at the price of RM50 (and that is quite cheap.. RM50 for 4 years of exploit of states so rich with natural resources!!), the rakyat is sure that with mismanagement, these resources will soon be squandered.
i suppose the internet played a major role in this election. what next? do you think the govt will ban that?? of course if they were to do a self evaluation, they will realise that they are the very reason why this change took place.
many victims of the elections have displayed "sore loser" traits...
with the exception of Koh Tsu Koon... who appeared to have retreated like a gentleman and some sense of dignity.
generally, we are all very happy to note that democracy is healthy and alive... to a certain extent.
if anybody says "saya pantang dicabar", my wise friend, hy, replies "baik balik rumah"!
