There is a by-election currently going on in My. Its pretty hot and controversy considering who the candidate is. On one side is the leading G candidate while on the other side is P candidate who is from the opposition. All this while I had been hearing lots of negative comment with regard to how the main political party in my country cheats, employing high handle tactics and abuse of power and etc. I never believe a single words of it. I mean the government can't be that stupid as to openly or deliberately give 100 or 200 for every person that comes to its polling centre. Beside paying out a large amount of money I'm sure the Gov will be worry about their reputation and etc !! No !!
This paying of 100 to 200 might be a small sum to most people in the peninsular but for people living in the suburban especially Sarawak and Sabah, its a huge amount. It can feed many people for a month. This was what one of my good friend Dr.Y told me. I ask him.......is it really true ? I'll damn if it is. Nevertheless I still don't buy it cause it might all be hearsay and wild wind but recently with the development of blogs and internet, we can see prove and listen to first hand account of people on the ground itself.
Take for example, the outspoken blog of Jeff Ooi which I read often. Believe it of not, it has prove of people getting injured and his first hand account of the situation in a by election. If course you can either believe in what was written or you can just ignored it. It can be a fabricated story or a true account. However, his photojournalism is what I appreciate most. He backup most of his stories with picture which usually will never lied.
Take for example the abuse of power. He had shown on his site the "before" and "after" what the government did right just before election. New tar roads, new street lights, new promises of goodie and etc totalling a few million just so that the gov can fish more votes. How oblivious can you get. Its a pity.
Then there is the fracas and the acting of gangsterism on the gov itself in employing young and rebellious punk to intimidate opposition party. How low can you stoop. Worst was all this uneducated punk are protected by the police and the gov itself. The only reason that they are brave in assaulting others was because of crowd and sense of superiority in their ass. If it was a one to one scenario then I think he would had run off crying to his mother. Why let this kind of brainless, idiot dog wandering around following its owner. They shouldn't even exist in the first place. I hope they will get what they deserve.
Hence, I feel a little bit disappointed with the ruling party. Not that I am a fan of them but I could if they show some integrity, transparency and accountability on their part. Some of the frustration I had voice out including the accountability and transparency issue are the basic of good governance. Since AAB can't control his own member and cabinet what use is he to the people of My. Then there is the SIL.....another ox......a big fat ox with a head bigger than King Kong. Just seeing his slimy cunning smile makes me shivering all over the body.
