Election Fever

Its an event that only comes around once every 5 years or so.... and along with it, comes the candidates, making all sweet promises, saying all the right things, or saying the things that they think the rakyat would like to hear....

And as citizens of our country, we have a duty, a duty to go register ourselves as voters (if we have not done so already) and cast our votes..... and until then, we listen and we ponder, before the big day this Sat....

Honestly, I already know who I'm going to vote for, so all the things that I hear doesnt really matter, my mind is more or less made up.... so I would like to say that the elections doesnt really bother me, neither does it affect me....

Only that it does.... it bothers me that promises are made, which later are not kept.... it bothers me even more when some of the promises made are so ridiculous and outlandish, that these people were of the opinion that I as part of the voting public would believe such promises....

I'm also annoyed with how some of the campaign posters are plastered all over the place, making places such as ugly eye-sore, that I'm glad these posters are not found anywhere near my house....

I'm concerned that the posters are placed with little regard for the safety for the public.... These posters are plastered all over roadsides, creating all sorts of blindspots when I have to navigate my way to work.....

I'm annoyed that come the end of the election, these posters are left flapping in the wind.... The posters could be put up with such enthusiasm, but neither the winners or the losers bothers to take it down after the dust has settled....

I cant wait for the elections to be over, perhaps then the right people will start work again and actually act on their promises..... But in hoping for the posters to be removed, I guess that's just something that's too much to ask for....
