P44 Permatang Pauh Election and others

By election in Permatang Pauh will be on August 26. Though its raining cats and dogs today, I believe both parties continued to campaign.

I have been following the news. There is something that I keep noticing in the papers. One individual criticising one another. As a future voter, I strongly feel that parties should promote their strength i.e what have they done so far ?

things will be very heaty and tensed. Violent acts should be avoided. Punished those involved in money politics and crime.

As for the soon to release Budget, I hope that this budget brings more goodies.Reduction in the price of fuel is what most Malaysians are waiting for. Surging food prices are almost unbearable with the fixed amount of money.

Finally our country made a mark on the Beijing Olympics Medal board. Congrats to our singles shuttler Lee Chong Wei. Though he didnt obtain the gold and I didnt watch the match, I believe he has put his best. On another note, though Mew Choo didnt win any medal for us but it was so obvious that she has a good fighthing spirit. If we fail this time, there is still next time in 2012.

On smoking, disabled and current political situation

I certainly don't understand why so many people smoke. They know that its bad for health. Passive smokers like me also suffer when they smoke. Here is what I feel like saying to smokers out there " lock yourself and close all the windows when you smoke ". I don't want to smell the smoke from your cigarette.


A few days ago, I was in my friends car when I saw a disabled senior citizen with a young man next to him. They were trying to stop taxis but no taxi was willing to fetch them. After quite some time a taxi stopped to fetch the senior citizen. I thought that the young man was related to the senior citizen. I was wrong. That young man helped the disabled men to get a taxi. This is something uncommon in the society nowadays. Taxi drivers should improve their attitude. Have a heart and be honest. Don't overcharge.

The current political situation seems so uncertain with Datuk Seri Anwar being charged for sodomy . He was released on personal bail. Looks like there will be a lot of drama's after this. Regarding the impending by election in Permatang Pauh, I hope that voters come out and vote. Vote for someone who can really serve and lives in your area if possible. You don't want to see your MP five years once I guess.
