The ballots have been cast. To those who have done their social responsibility by voting today, kudos to you for caring about your country. To those who didn't and couldn't, such as myself, don't fret. The next will always be there.... Unless the world ends before that, then shit happens. All we need to do now is wait. Wait to see whether those who we vote wins, wait to see if our favourite party wins, and most importantly, who will lead and govern us for the next 5 years.
Today's voting day went pretty smoothly. No fights, no interruptions except for the foreign and phantom voters issue. Personally, I find it stupid for whichever sides that chose to utilize these underhanded tactics. Are you afraid that you will lose? Does the integrity of the election must be compromised because of YOUR lust for power? Keep in mind, this country and it's citizen are not stupid. Democracy is what this country stands for. WE, the rakyat, are the ones who are suppose to vote for OUR government. The act of putting the decision to these foreigner is just an insult to our face. I do believe on the concept of Qada' & Qadar, which also means what goes, comes around. If you do win due to these tactics, it's a hollow win. You jeopardized your own country's future. The blame will be on you.
Also on the matter of foreign voters, I do not blame them. Some come from countries that are poor and in need of financial aid. When a golden opportunity like this, to be given free citizenship and money in exchange of voting for them, who would deny it? The act of human desperation are well justified. Who I blame here are to parties: the one who employed the tactics, and the one who blindly accuse them and threaten them. I've read on how the so-called "prihatin" voters humiliate them, mock them with words of insult, treating them like they are less than dirt. Where is our humanity? Some even had mistaken our own people as a foreigner just because of his race and skin colour. That is blatant racism I till you! Some has raised their voice on this matter, on how it is wrong to act like this. Kudos to you ladies and gents, for you have spoken like a true civilised person. We want to be treated with respect, so we must first respect!
The results are coming in around 8.00 pm. I will be on Twitter for the live telecast. Pray that we are rewarded with a clean result, one that was done with the utmost integrity and free from corruption. May the results be what the people truly wants, and for those who feel that they have lost, one word for you guys: ADAPT. We can't always get what we want, but we most certainly can thrive to achieve it. Maybe on the next General Election you could get. I pray for future of my people and hope our country will flourish like never before. And to the future government, don't mess up.
We'll be watching.
Ciao.
