I will have to call this my Political Ramblings, The song of frustrations, the Prayer for Peace, The time I spent through the GE13 campaign weeks. Some friends may pointed it out that i am being a fascist, whatever that may mean , in my feelings towards the well being of my country; I accept that. I cannot endorse violence in any form for whatever reasons; the future of this Nation will not be marred by acts of violence. This is my first request of all those chosen for the election; will you make a solemn oath to the People that you will stand responsible to the avoidance of violence during and after the Election? If violence erupts (Nau'zubillah!) heavens forbid, in or within your prescient, will you stand answerable and take full responsibility for your constituency actions?
In my estimate to be a good leader you would have had the answer, like yesterday; Yes! I will be responsible to keep this election period free of negative energies too strong that it will erupt into violence. The I will instill upon everyone in my constituency that violence will never be tolerated for whatever cause or reason. This is the first of my cardinal rules that i would expect of the individuals I vote for in this coming election. I would urge all political representatives be more cautious with the freedom of expressions as Dr. Mahathir pointed out, "We as a nation is sitting on a time bomb."We can either let it rip one way or another like we did in 1969 or we all consciously ride it out with skillful means to avoid another May 13. Cautious, especially in terms of letting the ego take the saddle and whipping left and right simply because...my appeal to all intelligent men and women, my brothers and sisters is that to tone down our egoic volume in our minds to allow for the sound of faith and compassion still echoing in the distance- like the call of the Bilal for the Muslims to Prayer.

As a good leader i believe I shouldmake every attempt to ensure that the environment is well taken care prior to all activities such as constructions of any kind. That you will confide and listen to all before you make a final decision towards any major issues especially those pertaining to the environment. To promote Health and Care awareness through 'gotong royong' for example or creating an environmental awareness campaign to involve all schools with awards to be given sponsored by Robert Bosch or Siemens, as their charitable community work; you as the leader will make this happen, can you?
I take the  sad case of the Sungai Pinang River with its six odd miles long of the state's history, like a main artery of the communities from Ayer Itam to the 'Kuala' at Jelutong. It is still a 'sick river', it is black when in low tide like pure black oil is flowing out to sea. What would you do about it? What have your Party been doing about it? I feel the amount of money you will need to build the tunnel across from the Mainland to Penang would be well worth spent on totally upgrading the status of the River. If i am not mistaken South Korea revamped the whole length of the river flowing through the city.
Waste is one thing we are good at, Malaysians, we are looking at the present situation where thousands of flags and buntings being raised just about every corner of the country; sadly to say Barisan Nasional has outdid everyone else in this venture. Penang is practically inundated by blue flags anywhere you look at what cost and whose money? I am about to leave and take a short trip for the next few days focusing on the GE13 battle of flags. I will drive to Kuala terengganu tonight and spend a day there visiting the Rural areas to see what they are up to with the GE. I will take pictures and do some water color sketching whenever permitted and especially mingle with the local crowd to catch their sentiments on the upcoming election.
I have four or five days to play with and so i will visit Kelantan and perhaps a little of Perak and Kedah on the way back.
My brother Lee sponsored this trip and i hope it will be well worth it, my friend Ah Huat the aircond man got my car all set free of charge so i can do this with his blessing. My friend Afzanizam at the Museum loaned me his camera as I lost mine; Now all I need to do is get packing. I sincerely hope you will get to see some great pictures of what its like during this General Elections in Malaysia.
