Need for New Government
Polling Day is on Saturday (8th March 2008). This will be my first experience voting for the country's future. I was set on voting five years ago, however, I couldn't register then because I had not renewed my identity card to the new one. I was advised to renew it before registering as a voter. Well, having the new MyKad (identity card) would've made things a lot easier. So I did not get to vote in 2004.
I feel a sense of ownership for the country. All these years, I've not been politically aware of my country's surroundings, leadership and the systems that keep the nation intact. Sadly in the last five years, the government's many mistakes in leading and managing the counrty has inadvertently made me concerned and convicted that change is needed. While empty promises are tossed back and forth in the leadership, a large number of citizens in the grassroots are suffering. Fifty years is a long time for the country to learn from its mistakes. I'm convicted that a new government should be given a chance to lead.
