You Can Vote

Every year when the Sports Day drew near, we were very excited. Of course not everyone is eligible to take part in the competitions. You have to prove yourself first. If you crawl like a tortoise how can you compete with the hare in the relay. If you are a chicken how can you compete with the duck in the swimming categories. Only when you are qualified then you can register. Or else you stay by the side and be the cheerleader.

Our general election is fast approaching. We are very excited. The spirit to win is in every candidate’s heart. If you win you get to serve the community. That is every public servant’s dream. And that is every public servant’s responsibility. You swear in the name of God, if elected you will promise to do this and to do that. But make sure after delivering your baby you will look after him. Or else it serves no purpose to swear for white hair.

This is the time when the candidates are usually not at home. Where do you think they might be. They are pretty busy at this time of the season. If you have anything to complain and need to ask for their help, this is the correct time to do so. If you are lucky you might get a house call. The first candidate to reach your house wins your vote.

But you have to check with the election commission for eligibility. Log on to their website at http://daftarj.spr.gov.my. Type in your IC number to find out.

For example: type in IC 981231081137
