My dear state Penang especially, which some might call it the politcal capital of this nation. Which is, i think, quite true, as the PM and Opposition leader both came from this small state. And even those who spent most of their political career elsewhere (eg the father and son), cant resist the temptation to acclaim oneselves as Penangites. Anyway, fellow Penangites couldn't care less.
Recently as the nation's focus shifted to one constituency in Penang, it is as if the world's cheapest circus comes to town. Night after nights of circus shows (some folks call it ceramah), hotels fully booked, roads jammed with police trucks, hawkers couldn't be happier, sociopolitical-bloggers become instant celebrities/circus performers.
And everyone is talking: 'do you believe the sumpah?', 'should we change?',' where is the detective?', ' is this country going to get better/worse?', 'is the blogger joking/lying/telling the truth?'
'i don't care about politics but i will certainly vote/not vote for that man.'
i doubt this is some kind of society's revolutionary consciousness movement.
my guess is, it is only that things have changed, a change that this country has never witness before, and the worst of all, no one knows whether its a change for the better or for the worse.
in order words, people just want to see something fun and entertaining.
Well, for me personally, this is just like the worst soupdrama ever.
This drama's budget might not be cheap, but the plot is ridiculous, the screenplay spontaneous and boring, the actors are simply crappy.
And for the past few months, we continue to witness bloggers spreading seditious statements,in the name of politics, plunging this nation into confusion and division.
blogger smearing outright lies against the good name of PC Wan.One can say that politics play an important part dictating the flow of power and virtually everything is under this power, and one can argue that people should care more and get involved in politics.
But damn it, accusations aren't politics, massive banner war isn't part of politic, funny slogans aren't politics either.

Some of my friends kept asking me which side am i in, well, i always say i am neither one.
But now i say, enough is enough.
Politics is stupid. Yet, its time for me to make a stand, to say it loud once and for all, and to avoid more lies smeared against this blog and my good name. This is the time, the time is now!
After much consideration, i have decided to endorse the best person possible to lead our political arena:
Vote for BOY BURGER !
a symbol of Peace, Prosperity and Pasar Ramadhan,
BOY BURGER, a new dawn for MALAYSIA!

any way,you wont be too bothered about it now.hehe
The last photo caught me by surprise...lol
While many other voters in this world are part of the drama, we, Malaysians remain as the audience. We watch them play, we review them and we even write crappy review about them.
But, when we are asked to play a proactive role, we shy away. You can talk about politics in local kopitiams, you can even attend political meeting but when road rally needs you, you disappear in action.
This shows how immature Malaysians can be in politics. While we dont have enough understanding of the issues, we talk a lot and we think we are smart enough to make smart choice.
enough is enough. Guess what? I share your predicament. we couldn't care less about local politics.
