Just My Two Cents

Politics, an over-heated issue in Malaysia. Yesterday, facebook is full with bangla pictures, dark blue inked finger, police pictures and caption with protecting and escorting foreigner into polling centres. Today, it's full with dark profile picture to protest to disagree with the dirty politics, that's what i saw from facebook. Truthfully said, I don't even know what i'm supporting in. By saying this, i'm sure i'll get some bullets already. People might be thinking i'm denying the truth and what is happening around me. And attacking me by saying i'm ignorant and stuff? Or am I thinking too much here? Anyway, i'm not at the legal age to vote yet, so it's a good thing I supposed as I don't want to cast the wrong votes. But even if i'm not at the legal age, people must be thinking there's something I can do, create awareness about the situation and stuff. Well, I don't even know what's right and what's wrong now. With the active users in facebook, we know what's happening and there's so many news, some are fake, some are real, I can't really differentiate them now. Users started to post fighting video, this and that, some of them happened to be taken few years back. The wrong usage of the mass media, by spreading fake news. Saying Dr.Mahathir had flew to Europe, and this and that. Well, it all depends on your own judgement. I didn't say my judgement is correct or yours are wrong. I just don't understand how people can have too much trust towards some certain sources. For example, the so-called Bangla with the name Chin Lai Fatt or something, sorry I don't really remember. Please, it's so super unfair for him, people mistaken him as Bangla, and take photos of him and his IC, without censoring any information, now everyone knows his IC number, his address, everything which are supposed to be P&C. Please lah, if BN wants to cheat, wants to play trick, wants to distribute fake IC, where got people so stupid use so obvious name, use chinese name on IC for Bangla? It's good to help out, it's good to volunteer to ensure a clean election, and i'm sorry I did not contribute to any of that, but it's too bias for people to act in that way. Do some investigation before accusing people of anything. It's too unfair. Maybe it's too rush and has too limited time for people to carry out investigation, but. . .I still think it's super unfair to certain people. If i'm slightly darker (i'm already dark), if i'm in his shoes, i'll be super innocent super pissed super speechless super don't know what to do at that moment. By saying this, people must be thinking i'm siding BN, you can think whatever you want. I'm just in between. When a news is spread, many shares it and posts it, it becomes real (even if some of them are fake). About the blackout and boxes of votes appear, I don't know how true is it, if it's true, it's a really obvious, stupid, dirty, disgraceful act. If it really does happen, i'm really gonna be so furious. Lose jiu lose lah why you so kiasu!? There's no winning in all circumstances. About the fights and stuff, I know people are so angry, are so pissed at someone, but it's a barbaric act, it's 20th century! You don't beat up people cause they did something bad. You don't throw helmets, okay lah maybe when defending yourselves. Saw videos of helmet throwing tho. Anyway I still get to hit my boyfriend, cause he's my boyfriend ;p Some news are real, some are fake. It depends on your own judgement. Think rationally. Do not be blinded by rumours. Of course if it's real, i'll be furious. The thing is I don't know what's true, what's fake now. Nothing is clean, nothing. Just maybe, we choose "something" which is cleaner. I think a change would be good, we do not know how it will change the country, but at least we tried. I do want to live in a clean country, without corruption and all, okay i think it's impossible for without corruption, correction, least corruption. Clean country, peaceful country, Please.

Why didn't I post this in facebook? cause I believe i'll be under attack and receive a lot of bullets.
yes, I'm coward like that.

I actually salute Michelle Yeoh for standing at her own points of view, freedom of speech. It's a democratic world, people get to support whatever she wants. You don't coerce everyone to follow your decisions, you don't coerce people to agree with what you believe in. Brain is such a complex organ, you expect everyone to think in the same way!? Even if she receives so many bullets, even if many attacks her in cyberspace, she still standing tall, not denying not changing her statement.
so she's so brave can?! If it's me, sorry, I can't take so many bullets. i ain't no bulletproof.

i'm not asking people to agree with me.
just sharing my thoughts.

Wow my good friend, you are matured enough. There are too many people just spreading a lot of rumours without thinking whether that's true or not. Well, the blackout in Betong, is fake as well. Our city need people like you Shing Ying. Whether which side are we in, we should be smart rather than believing anything on Facebook blindly.

'Ini Kali lah' failed because of gerrymandering and other electoral fraud. May the UBAH team triumph in GE14.
