Isn’t she cute?
That was what I thought when I saw her pics in the papers. I have my vote hught to myself, “Wow! Finally DAP has wised up and has put pretty young candidates instead of dinosaurs like Kit Siang and Karpal.” I mean, hey! She’s pretty, and cute, so I am entitled to admire her, right? Sorry, Honey. But you are cute too.
Then I drove past Taipan tonight and saw a group of DAP supporters walking down shouting their slogan while dishing out posters of Hannah. I slowed down as this pretty young thing tried to past me some posters. Okay, I am an UMNO member but I have the right to my own thoughts and speak my mind if and when I have to. After all, I am known as the opposition within the party for my dissenting, yet true, views on things. Then I realised it was Hannah herself, and there she went all sweet and smiling saying to me, “Please vote for DAP, please vote for change.” With you looking like that, you have my vote anytime, dear.
But realistically, how is DAP able to bring about any change at all, if any? I do believe in having a stronger opposition voice as it is healthy for democracy; however, I do not believe any of the opposition parties have done itself any justice. I saw a DAP banner hanging somewhere near TTDI that says CRONIES PROSPER, CITIZENS SUFFER. That exists everywhere, in every political party. That cannot be helped as power corrupts absolutely. And there has never been real constructive opposition: no one party has actually come up with a comprehensive plan to tell the voters how they could better the current policies. Instead, they will just criticize policies for the sake of criticizing and getting political mileage. Show me a political party that is different for once, and I am sure there will be followers of the middle-of-the-road kind of politics.
I also agree that there should not be any discrimination towards the building of houses of worships in (new) townships. The local housing law says that a certain number of area in acreage has to be met for churches to be built, but in biasness, it also states that an area for a surau/mosque must allocated. This is unIslamic. Islam does not prohibit others from obtaining the same rights to worship, and to build their houses of worship. However, this could be done in a better manner. An area within the township should be designated, preferably on the fringes of the estate for this. While different sects of Islam can pray together in the same mosque, this rule does not apply to Christians. There are rites non-Catholics cannot do in a Catholic church, and Protestants do not believe in invoking the saints like Catholics do. Okay, I shall not go any deeper into this as (1) I’d leave it to the Christians to dwell upon this matter (it’s okay for a black to call another ni**er, but it won’t be safe for a white to call him so), and (2), I’d be writing more on theology than on the cuteness of this DAP candidate of ours. So what I am trying to say is, while there will or may be one mosque for all, there will be at least 5 churches sprouting in a residential estate; not that I have any problem with that – but that would propel this somewhat tolerant nation’s malays (I won’t term them as muslims) to turn this country into another Islamic Republic of Iran, or Talibanistic Afghan, by swinging their support over to PAS. That would be disastrous – what more when you have one senile senior office-holder calling others orang utan, and the President of the party snubbed an opposing candidate by refusing to shake hands with the latter – so unIslamic is their behaviour.
So, DAP will really have to work hard to convince the general voting population that they can actually come up with a better plan(s) for this country other than crying foul all the time. Voters are not stupid anymore, nor are they emotional as they were before.
Now, going back to our pretty and cute DAP candidate, she was born and bred in Subang Jaya, a true Subang Jaya thoroughbred, which makes her more interesting as she would be very conversant in the peculiarities of the township. She is a lawyer who graduated in Tasmania in 2001, and prior to becoming an election candidate, worked as an event manager.
All that makes her very attractive to me and from not wanting to vote, I wanted to score DAP = 1: BN = 0
(well, the looks count too). Then came the clincher: she is married to an IT engineer.
The lucky guy.
DAP = 0: BN = 0
Time to figure out where to dive when others vote.
