Freedom to Vote
Thursday, March 6th, 2008I have never written anything political in my blog. But since 8th of Mac is just 2 days away… oh what the heck… just once.
With the position that I’m in, many people seems to be advising me to safeguard myself. There’s no point jeopardising my career with just a cross in the wrong box. I had believed when I first took this road that my freedom to vote would be temporarily frozen. Not only me but many many others like me believe it as well. But as the time to vote came nearer and nearer, especially with all the campaigning going on, I have begin to believe otherwise.
It is a real sad thing when i found out that the people around me (esp my fellow colleagues… be it doctors or pharmacists) are actually not registered eventhough they are already qualified years ago. Many are politically ignorant and some is even naive. Oh well, probably can’t blame them. All of us are product of Malaysian education.
As Malaysian citizens, voting is our only way to make the country a better place to live. That’s where we can voice out our unsatisfaction. (however dark the system is…) I wouldn’t let all the rumours bar from me from exercising my rights.
Thanks to some of my political literate (dunno if there’s such word) friends… namely Ennie, Kenny, Ivy and veteran colleagues… I am following your footstep =). So here I am… telling everybody that I am practising my voting rights!! Good Luck to me… Hahaha…..
p/s: This is as political as I will get.
