5th May, Malaysia held their 13th General Election where citizens of Malaysia vote for the leaders which the majority thinks is doing a good job. Elections are supposed to be clean and fair, we're living in a democratic country. Citizens get to choose who they think is doing a good job and whether they are eligible to be maintained at the same post or rank for another five years of ruling a state or a place. All these is what supposed to happened.
But in Malaysia. things are very different. Only in Malaysia, money is everything. Literally, everything. Before the official election day, Malaysians have been gaining information about what our filthy and dirty government was planning to do. But because they are the government, we, normal citizens can't do anything but spread the information. The government was trying to import voters, foreigners, which according to law, isn't eligible to vote because they are foreigners. We called imported voters as Phantom Voters.
Why the government are doing this ? There are few reasons to this, according to my opinion.
1) They know majority of Malaysians doesn't like the way the government is doing things.
2) They can't lose the election because most of the ministers are under crime case with sufficient evidence.
3) If they lose, they can't do corruptions as openly as they are doing currently.
and i can go on and on. But i felt, these are the three mains reasons, in my opinion.
I'm no politician and i don't study politics. I'm here blogging just according to my opinion and what i see with my own eyes though out my 20 years of living in Malaysia.
Bringing in foreigners to vote for them is already an unlawful act. What's worse is they even provide Malaysia Identity Card for them too, which usually mean, automatic citizenship. This is over the limit. I've seen old grandmas and grandpas that has been living in Malaysia for more than 50 years and still don't get citizenship. They don't import 1000 or 5000 foreigners, it's estimated that the government brought in about 600,000 foreigners in total from country Philippines, Bangladesh and Indonesia. These Phantom Voters are all paid, according to news, RM1,500 each, to vote for BN, the government.
On election day, these foreigners, some came in provided transport by the authorities and even have poice escort to voting venue and yet the polices still claim that they are citizens of Malaysia. If they are, why is there a need to escort all them all the way to voting venue ? People are not dumb, we can identify a foreigner easily. Voters were told that if they saw any foreigners trying to vote, hand them to the police. But what's the point, police are government servants. Government servants are automatically supporters of the government whether they like it or not because their job will be threaten if government servants vote for the opposition. They are practically forced to. I know this because my mum is a government servant.
Where's democracy ? Where's the freedom to vote ? PM says citizens can vote for any parties they like then on the other side, threatening government servants career and jobs, calling out mat rempits and gangsters to disturb the opposition when they are conducting an election campaign. I'm not saying this to talk bad about the government. But there are insiders in the government who truly hates the government but can't do anything drastic. The best they could do is leak out some information of what the government is up to. Besides that, there are pictures taken of the gangsters and mat rempits destroying opposition supporters' vehicle while wearing the BN shirt, of having a BN flag on their vehicle. Some even say things like, "Najib says Hi".
Finally, when results time is near, a blackout happen. This happened in several voting venues but i'll just talk about one which i heard the whole story. Bentong, Pahang was a place where opposition was leading with over 3,000 number of votes. Suddenly a blackout happened. After blackout, extra ballots appeared. Like magically. And then, government won back after a recount of votes. This is a very obvious cheat. Even the blind knows what's going on.
All these way of winnings proves even more that Malaysia needs a new government. I can't say that the opposition will do good but Malaysia have to try, Malaysia needs a change of government, Malaysia needs a new leader, Malaysia need a new way of doing things. We have to try everything to live in a better country. I love my country, i really do. But the government need to change. A new leader is required.
I was once proud to be a Malaysian, but now, not so anymore.
Celebrate Black Parade tomorrow by dressing up in black. We have to do as much as we can. Clean election is what we're asking for. #bersih4.0
