Another May 13th in making????

The whole Malaysia is waiting for the Parliament to be dissolved. There was even an April Fool prank done by Free Malaysia Today regarding the dissolution. But what does our Prime Minister actually has in mind? Nobody knows and he remains silent. There are always speculations regarding the dissolution date. Speculation had swirled Prime Minister Najib Razak would call for a press conference later on Friday, where he may announce the dissolution of Parliament to pave the way for Malaysia's much anticipated 13th general election. Malaysia-Chronicle reported on 29th March 2013 a lot of people are saying Najib will not dissolve Parliament until LIMA is over as that could affect the validity of the contracts signed. While NST reported on 2nd April 2013 that Parliament is expected to be dissolved as early as tomorrow after the cabinet meeting in Putrajaya, paving the way for the 13th general election since Ministers told to prepare for photo session before Cabinet meeting. The four reasons given by the Star’s group editor-in-chief for Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s delay in dissolving Parliament which then bombarded by Ambiga to be ridiculous reasons.

• A caretaker government cannot enter into agreements at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (Lima).

• Finishing touches to some projects and programmes.

• Barisan Nasional’s candidates’ list not finalised.

• Impossible at the moment for politicians to campaign freely in Lahad Datu.

Now here is the new thought of why is Najib delaying the dissolution. The Election Commission clarified on 28th of March 2013 that the actual date of the automatic dissolution of the Dewan Rakyat is April 30th 2013 not April 28 as hitherto reported. Once the parliament automatically dissolved there are like 2 weeks for 13th May 2013. We all remember what history says about the date 13th May. It is a landmark racial riot incident happened in 1969 which was triggered by Pro-UMNO people after major victory of Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Which then an opposition party). Eventhough there is a gap of 60 days before the election is done, there are high chances to have election 10th,11th or 12th of May 2013. Why? Only two reasons. First of all, to implant the fear to the people that the history will repeat if the opposition wins. An idea to be implanted in peoples mind that the incident would take place if BN did not win over the government in 13th General Election. This fear may lead people to vote for BN just to avoid the riot from happening. So it is part of election gimmick just like BR1M, Youth Communication Package and SEED. Secondly, to actually trigger the riot in real. who knows these guys are capable of anything. Chopping of a few people and create riot in order to a declaration of a state of national emergency or Darurat by the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong resulting in the suspension of the Parliament. This was a dirty trick done by UMNO. They might do it again due to desperation, because all they want is to win by hook or crook. Remember, 13th General Election and 13th of May is a very good indication itself.

Why voting is important?

This topic is requested by our follower, Mr.Haree.

10 REASONS TO VOTE

1. IT IS YOUR RIGHTS- every single citizen who is above 21 years old is capable of voting. Whatever party that you want to vote, it is your decision. No one can question you.

2. EVERY VOTE COUNTS- Maybe you will ask yourself, “Will a single vote make difference?” So, why bother? The truth is that your vote does count and you do make a difference every time you vote. You may think it’s just one vote, but what if there are 1000 people who thought the same?

3.TO CANCEL OUT SOMEONE ELSE’S VOTE- You would not know if your mother, father or friends vote against you. You can cancel out their vote.

4.IF YOU DO NOT VOTE, SOMEONE ELSE WILL VOTE FOR YOU – phantom voters? No evidence but it could be true.

5.YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN IF YOU DID NOT VOTE- Well, technically you can, but I will taunt you mercilessly. It is a simple equation-- when you vote, you earn the right to gripe.

6.CHOOSE WHO WILL MAKE DECISIONS FOR YOUR COUNTRY- after election, every decisions made by the people in power will be the final decision. Do not regret if there are few decisions which benefits certain people, not the whole community.

7.VOTE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION- Decisions we make today impact our children, grandchildren and all generations that follow. Make choices that will improve their lives by voting. It also sets a good example and encourages civil responsibility.

8.DEMOCRACY- feel how a real democracy country works. The people has the right to change the government.

9.PATRIOTISM -  as a part of being patriotic to the nation, you choose your leader so that your country will be better than before. Love your country.

10.DO OR DIE- It Is not like festivals that come yearly. Once you missed it, you need to wait till the next general election which comes minimum once every 3 years.

10 REASONS FOR YOUNG GENERATIONS TO VOTE

                                       If they can vote, why can't you?

1)BUST THE STEREOTYPE

"Young people are lazy, they don't care, they won't vote." That's what they say. Let's prove them wrong. Young voters have to represent. Honestly, I'm sick and tired of hearing that our generation is apathetic and too self-involved to care about politics. It's just not true, and we need to change that mentality. Fine, we spend too much time on Facebook, but it's all for the greater good. IN FACT, IF ALL THE YOUNG GENERATIONS UNITE, WE CAN DECIDE THE GOVERNMENT. OUR POPULATION COUNTS MORE!!

2)LESS EFFORTS TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCES

If you're not registered, do it now. It only takes a couple of minutes. If you don't vote, I DON’T THINK YOU DESERVE TO CELEBRATE 31^ST AUGUST AND 16^TH SEPTEMBER, HONESTLY.

3)RUKUN NEGARA

The 2^ND principle-KESETIAAN KEPADA RAJA DAN NEGARA AND 3^RD principal KELUHURAN PERLEMBAGAAN.

4)LOST AND GAIN

Young people have the most to gain and lose in any election because they have to live with the consequences longer than anyone else.

5)FUN AND ENJOY

You can share your voting experiences with friends. And you can tease those who didn’t cast their vote as being invaluable to our country.

6)DEMOCRACY

Feel the power in your hands. “I CHOOSE MY LEADER.I DETERMINE MY COUNTRY’S FATE”.

7)FANATICISM

It is something like supporting a sports team. If the team wins, you will be happy. TRY AND SEE. IT’S A GREAT FEELING.

8)WISER DECISION

Young generations have more access to the IT world. So they are able get news from alternative medias to determine what is right and wrong.

9)FIT VOTERS
Young generations are more fit and healthy compared to elderly. So, we are able to go to the voting area without any problem. 

10)BONUS REASON

At the polling location, you might get to finally meet that cute guy or girl you always see in your neighborhood. Plus, they'll be instantly impressed by your devotion to civic duty.

For those who have not registered, the deadline is 30^TH September 2011. If you missed it, you can’t vote for the coming general election- MALAYSIANS only.

bheng’s wish is that there will be more younger generations will register as voters and vote during the elections. Therefore, spread this article, get into every single youth of this country. Tell them, inform them, that the country needs you. Please visit REG2VOTE for more information.
