IF, General Elections were to be held in Malaysia today -WHO Would You Vote for?

MARCH 2010 UPDATE::

P.94 Hulu Selangor, Selangor by-election. MY Weltanschauung's Poll extended!

SEPTEMBER UPDATE:

Bagan Pinang, NS by-election. MY Weltanschauung's Poll extended!

MY Weltanschauung have decided to extend the Poll conducted due to the just announced Bagan Pinang, Negeri Sembilan by-elections. Prior to announcement & Update, 21 votes have been casted!

Please vote. TQ.

In conjunction with the Permatang Pasir by-elections, MY Weltanschauung is conducting a general poll to gauge the general sentiment of people on the ground i.e. the silent majority. The poll is titled " IF, a General Election were to be held in Malaysia today -WHO Would You Vote for? ".

The last political poll conducted by MY Weltanschauung was in February of this year...in response to the Perak Constitutional crisis. The question asked - "Which Party Should Determine the Formation of the PERAK State Government? ". Poll was closed on 31st March 2009. The results...from 32votes cast are as follows:-

• 01 (3%) - Palace/Sultan
• 01 (3%) - BN
• 02 (6%) - PR
• 06 (18%) - Courts
• 22 (68%) - Rakyat via Fresh Elections

Hence, it can be said that even though there are pockets of support for the 4 out of 5 different institutions involved in the plot...the silent majority prefers for fresh elections to be called!

Malaysians are MATURED....it's some POLITICIANS who are IDIOTS!

In Europe, the Annual SILLY season happens during Summer...normally, around June or July. The 1st August 2009 "ISA incident" ( peaceful march, constitutional protest, mob demonstration....depending on who you talk to ) has enabled Malaysia...in her aspirations to become a developed nation by 2020, to narrow the "SiLLy" development gap to just about 1-2 months behind!

At a time when the world is in a severe economic downturn and as such focus should be on getting all Malaysians (...irrespective of Religion, Race or Sex ) safely through murky waters, the clowns ( both BN & PR politicians )...with the travelling circus in tow i.e. followers on both side of the political divide are acting like Somalis pirates.......hijacking ships (equals economic recovery) for their own personal political agenda!

Why MY Weltanschauung call some BN politicians IDIOTS :-

• Peaceful Assembly ENSHRINED in Malaysian Constitution
  Notwithstanding qualifying clauses, Article 10 (b) states that:-
  
  " all citizens have the right to assemble peaceably and without arms "
  
• Democracy Benchmark
  Protests happens in matured democracy like Washington, USA or London,UK
  and is credited with ending the Vietnam War and Poll Tax...amongst others!
  
• Spending Stimulus
  Desperate times calls for revolutionary thinking! Malaysia's *foreign minister Anifah Aman comments vis-a-vis ASEAN approach towards Myanmar is a case in point! I would say having more protests actually stimulate the local economy by enriching the hawkers & petty traders...amongst others. This is because a protest is actually an EVENT.....and like most events, RM have to be spent!

" There are 3 types of LIES - Lies, Damned Lies & Statistics "

I do not know where the FT Minister( an alumni of the RMC ) got the figures of RM100-200m losses as a result of the "incident"...it would be interesting to see how the *FT minister qualifies his statement as compared to what an actuarist tabulates! I beg to differ with the FT Minister as I believe that well attended Protests actually adds value to the economy. Examples:-

1. Increased TRANSPORTATION Spending
   - Toll, Petrol, Plane/Taxis/LRT/Bus fare and/or charter etc.


2. Increased F & B Spending -


3. Increased MERCHANDISE & Related Items Spending
   - T-Shirts, Caps, Badges, Posters, Newspapers etc.


4. JOB CREATION & Increased SALARY
   - Overtime Pay and/or Allowances for Reporters, Security personnel, DBKL Cleaners etc

Why MY Weltanschauung call some PR politicians IDIOTIC:

• H1N1 Spread
  With the H1N1 outbreak in Malaysia spiralling out of control, only the extremely dumb will say that having hundreds of people let alone thousands...in a dense area a smart move - unless they think that SMART is the name of a car!
  Note: *IF ONLY.....SMART countries had imposed a travel ban earlier!
  

• Getting KIDS involved
  COWARDS get kids involved in their fight! ...but then again, in certain 'conflict' countries - kids are bearing arms.

Najib's honeymoon is over!

at the end of the day, the ONLY person/body who came out of it with something is the Malaysian Police esp FRU who managed to get some practise after a long hiatus. After all ASEAN did not have the *ASEANAPOL-Police HQ in KL for no valid reason.

Perhaps it's time for a 3rd force in Politics
...something like the Liberal Democrats in UK!
Partai Kunci ( KEY Party )...ANYone???
