The Polling Day

Today is the Polling Day for Malaysia’s General Election 2008. It is a very important day for the citizen of Malaysia to exercise their right and cast their vote for the candidate or party that they feel can manage the country well. How do we choose our leaders? Based on the party they represent? Based on the leadership they shown? Based on the candidates’ characteristic and persona?

We heard about candidates who go and meet the voters during the campaign period, but do they do the same after winning?

We heard a lot of promises to serve the people, but do they keep their promise after winning?

We heard lots of stories of corrupted leaders, most of them get away with it, but why do we keep voting these corrupted leaders?

We heard how they abuse their power to get all the wealth they can get during their tenure, but why do we still don’t learn?

All these questions should be answered first before we vote for the candidate that we choose and it is a very tough decision to make.

We should know who the new leaders are by end of the day. To all the new leaders, just remember one word : RESPONSIBILITY. Be responsible to yourself, your people, your country, your race, and your religion. And remember, at the end, you will be judged and be penalized or rewarded for your actions!

Let us all think before voting…
