the civil duty

for those who already exercised your right to vote.. i do hope that you had vote wisely.. as for moi, this was my first time ever to exercise my right.. so, i was really looking forward for that kind of experience.. alhamdulillah, everything went well and smoothly.. I didn't even have to wait and queue on the line.. since there was not so many people around at the time when moi, mom and my sister arrived at the polling centre around 11 am..

finally, people has made their choices.. we wanted to see some changes... less corruption.. efficient governance, administration and transparency in the government... sometimes change is good.. i do hope that something good will come out of this transition.. for candidates who had won their seats, please do take your job seriously.. it is such a huge responsibilities and i know it is very hard.. nevertheless, do whatever you can to keep the promises you made before the election..

i'd heard one of the collegue who would not cast his vote simply because he opposed of the present ruling government.. so, if you simply sit there and do nothing.. do you think that the government would simply exchange hands in its own way? you have at least to cast your vote if you wanted your voice to be heard.. that's simply your job.. and the least you can do..

i think i'm being more patriotic now than ever.. maybe because i'd been away from home for a very long time.. malaysia is my home.. i love being home and i'm very proud to be malaysian.. as for the old saying says, 'hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, baik lagi di negeri sendiri'..
