Crap by Useless Political Commentators

"Er, the public voted the wrong people as they're immature and just voting for change."

"The people are too emotional, using votes against "incompetence"."

"Malaysians are not yet prepared for democracy, not believing in the system."

"Oh, they're just experimenting with new leaders, not thinking seriously."

What. The. Fuck.

Seriously, pro-government analysts (nothing on TV is neutral anyway) being sore losers makes the National Front look more and more stupid. Everything's right only if they're voted in. 

Nothing's wrong with competition, giving a sense of urgency in everyone to actually do something lest be kicked out with metal boots.

If I see these stupid commentators in real life I'll stick giant boomsticks into their ass, making them feel like anal pornstars. Lucky for them I so don't care about Malaysian politics, ensuring their safety (for the time being), and they'll just meet my rolling eye turning them into stone.

BN Does not Retain 2/3 Majority!

Oh my, I just noticed this when news googling up yesterday's elections.

Parliament is going to get fiery, but are they gonna argue about policy or about why Parliamentarians' coffee should be sweeter with whipped cream?

If the last term was any indication, a lot more crap is gonna be brought up in Parliament.

Quick Impression of Elections '08

Interesting election here in Malaysia.

The National Front has kept its 2/3 majority in Parliament, but a lot of heavyweight government reps have been literally kicked out. Another state (so far) has gone to the major opposition parties, while seats were also won by them in the major pro-government states as well.

Goodbye Shahrizat, Zam, Samy Vellu, Koh Tsu Koon (?) and many others; you guys in particular I won't miss, especially Samy Vellu. Oh, and take your wig with you.

The opposition parties have won a lot of seats; I'd like to see if they can actually do anything constructive while in power rather than constant complaining and rhetoric. Until I see good come out of this election as regards to the opposition parties, I'll remain skeptical of both the major government and opposition parties.

I'll need to vote in the next election; I voluntarily decided not to register. Let's see if the candidates are better than this election in 4-5 years time. But I'll do that after I finish my studies, as I've not yet known where I'll be living during the next elections.

Anyways, interesting read from the Economist, similar in my view of the local politics. I am actually quite against the affirmative policies, despite it having benefited me. It cripples competition.

EDIT: Well, Shahrizat and Koh Tsu Koon are probably those that did they job at least decently well (Shahrizat was very well). We'll miss you.
