YapThomas - The Ultimat3

SAD number of YOUTH registered

Woke up at around 8.30am today. Usually I just sleep over till quite late.

My natural alarm clock urged me to get up to vote and be heard in this general election.

I first tune to www.malaysiakini.com to catch up on election news. A final decision
making before I walk outside and disapprove (X) on a particular party.

Malaysiakini reported that it is a day for voters to decide their future and

“there are a total of 10,922,139 registered voters, of which 1,409,395 are first-time voters.”

Which I do think that my year falls on the first-time voters category. Well, many other
age range falls into the same category but given it a benefit of a doubt that most new
voters are like me in their early 80s and eager to vote.

In the same article I read, AAB’s word to Malaysians in a live TV3 broadcast reads

“Don’t be emotional… consider what the candidates contesting in the election can do. Think of our future… our children and grandchildren,”

How can we not be emotional eh? We are humans and we have out instinct. Today
I used my instinct to tell me that the party that I put my disapproval (X) on their logo
is going to be Malaysian’s hope.

So, I went to the poling station. It was rather a quite morning.

can see my house?:P

The atmosphere was sombre…

despite this notice, some joker’s phone was ringing like his mother stroke lottery!

The turnout was not too bad. Met Uncle Edgar while walking towards to the school.
We had the same similar thoughts on who to vote.
He read my mind or I read his? or shall I say “Great Minds Think Alike”?

Jun! they using your classroom?

Voting is as easy as 1-2-3. Like how Simon Seow described in his Pacmee.

when you are in the room, check your name first.

Then put your vote count into the transparent ballot box.

Just Change It?

Then you walk out…

It was rather hard to decide who to vote earlier, but I made my choice.

It will be much easier if we have an independent candidate for my district like
Maimun Yusuf @ Tok Mun. I really like her courage. She is an example of a rep
whom we all should vote to represent us, as she is just an ordinary person like all of us.

What I find rather sad is that, when I check my registration with SPR before going
to the classroom, I found that there is not more than 20 young voters in their 80s
like me registered. A fact that must be rectified and YOUTHS should and must be
encouraged to vote!

Because you are the voice of the future. Why our state and country affair is non of
your business? I tell you why! Because YOU let it rot just like that without even
taking knowledge of what election is all about and sit behind and shake your leg.

Well, I couldn’t interfere with your own personal agenda but I do encourage you all
to vote. I saw my fellow Primary Schoolmate in the list when I check with SPR.
Immediately I called him and he says he will be going to vote! For who? I don’t care.
As long as he vote! It is a duty my dear fellow Malaysians!

Well, if you are not registered.. GE13 maybe?
If I am standing for election, YOU BETTER VOTE FOR ME!

You’ve got another 5 hours more to vote! Make your vote count!

It takes no longer than 1 hour, depending on the crowd.

meanwhile, eh.. vote for my happy moments la..tq tq..
