In the fight against the extreme corruption, we've had to call upon a former leader, in his twilight years, to help us to Ubah! On the opposite of the fence now, the man known by various monickers like Maha Kutty, Maha Firaun, etc certainly still has immense influence on national politics. After the decade of hibernation since retiring, he's suddenly back in action at 93 years old of age. And spring into action he did, with his hectic schedule at ceramahs around the country. That too, with his lovely and charming wife in tow. A lovely couple who's growing into old age gracefully and loved by all. Behind the successful man, is the patient and wise wife, or so they say.
Are you going to take a decision to lead your future or are you going to leave it in the hands of the corrupt? After one decade of mismanagement and abuse, you'd have recorded in memory the list of actions contrary to the nation's progress. Public funds have been abused to cover the wastages, which is used by the corrupted leaders to lead an extravagant lifestyle at taxpayers' cost. Don't you feel frustrated at having to pay GST while they strut around the world in private jets for their shopping spree? Representatives of justice have been murdered and dumped into cemented drums in their violent attempt to cover-up.Will you make it your agenda to effect Ubah!? Will you be responsible?
In the national agenda to effect Ubah!, are you even a registered voter? For those who have procastinated in voter registration, do you even feel a tinge of guilt as you're left behind? This is despite reminders from the good folks to register early lest the corrupt decides that you aren't able to cast your valuable vote against the corrupted system. If you have registered, check your status here. Every vote counts and it's vital to challenge the system in every legal way we can. We're fighting the entire corrupted machinery and it'll take a lot of effort and time to plan our moves.
And that brings us to the issue of returning back to our respective voting areas to cast our vote. 9th of May had been declared, in their corrupted bid to scuttle our momentum towards Ubah! A weekday voting on a Wednesday is just the right formula to discourage voters turnout. But are we to let it go just like that? The vast majority of Malaysians in Singapore have made it a point to return to exercise their voting rights. Many kind people, both individuals and organisations have contributed towards either providing direct transport or organising funds collection to get the voters home. And currently trending is the #pulangmengundi effort.
Taking Selangor and Penang as examples, you can appreciate the good that Ubah! brought. Except Perak which was felled illegally (due to debt of business opportunity), the two states showed significantly larger funds saved from corrupt practices and the money is put to good use to develop the people and the community. It's a Bangsa Malaysia movement and we stand together towards meritocracy, shared development and progress for the country.
It's your patriotic duty to cast your vote and may we together, Ubah!
