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.

short break from politics

not blogging about politics for today....

today i want to touch about lining up.Many Malaysians still refuse to line up. They prefer to jump queue. Pushing and pushing.It gets so annoying.

Second, punctuality or being early. I sriously hate it when people come late. The pain of waiting.

Third, not keeping to their word and being fickle minded.

Fourth, not knowing how to appreciate others...

Its time to improve ..

now..

Political bickering and verbal attacks never seems to end. As one who is interested about national politics I am tired of all the attacks...

Staging walkout, challenging each other to indicate who is more supreme. Can the MP's stop all this. The rakyat has mandated both sides to serve them.

At the end of the day bickering and attacks do not good. pls realize this. The truth will always prevail. Do something to overcome the dissatifaction in certain policies. Divert attention to what is important. Electorates can easily swing their votes.

In view of the increasing fuel price, perhaps encouraging car pool and using public transport can be the solution.
The public transport especially bus needs to be improved. Pls require them to service and maintain the bus. Encourage car pool by offering small rebates for those who car pool.

that's all for now

currently

It has been a few days since the government announced the increase in price for both petrol and diesel. I can notice the initiatives to reduce the burden of rakyat. The rise in price of oil seems unending. We have always learnt about alternative seeking but i cant seem to hear any solution at this moment.

The Prime Minister has been distributing goodies to Sabah and Sarawak. I believe the citizens there are happy but I am curious....I thought the gov wanted to save money...Isnt this quite different from the objective.... Anyway, I believe there is a reason for it.

The fares for RapidKL has increased from RM1 to RM2. Metrobus is still charging 0.90 cents...I thought that RapidKL receives subsidy from the government....

various issues

Ezam's action of rejoining UMNO was the hot topic for last week. He cited reforms as one of the reasons. MP's were asked to give their views. In this critical time, I believe UMNO needs someone to assist it in rebranding. Parties who performed terribly during the recent election should move on and increase their efforts once sufficient analysis has been done. Continous reflection on the reasons of defeat without making any changes is just a waste of time.

Congratulations to the Transport Minister for their efforts to provide free rear seat belts. Perhaps the fine on those who fail to use it after a certain period of time can be imposed. The ministry needs to get the message across everyone. We dont want to hear remarks like " i dont know"..

The Bandar Makhota Cheras problem has been settled for this moment.

happenings..

From Tun Mahathir's decision to quit UMNO to Ezam's decision to rejoin UMNO and Dr Tan Kee Kwong's decision to serve for Pakatan Rakyat..Things seem to get complicated every other day.

No matter whether it is National Front or Pakatan Rakyat gov the most pertinent thing is the elected MP's perform their duties. Wasting time on issues that will not benefit the rakyat should be avoided if possible..

Voicing out opinion is acceptable. However critizing other party or any individual is not really the appropriate thing to do. At the end of the day after critisizing each other, other than trying to be more intelligent than the other i dont really see the benefit of perang mulut..

The Bandar Mahkota Cheras issue seems to be unending..
