It's Near

So, the GE falls on the 8th of March 2008. No GE is not General Electrics, it's General Election.

I was a little troubled at how our GE is managed. Just 2 days ago our dear Prime Minister said that the Parliament will not be dissolved anytime soon, and there will be more Cabinet meetings to come. And yesterday our PM announced that our Parliament was dissolved. I don't feel quite nice with that dishonesty there. You may argue it's politics, and it's a strategy to win the GE.

How about this? Why did our PM keep it so secretly the day of GE? There were many press conferences and interviews that requested the date of GE, and our dear PM kept saying it's soon without giving any form of hint.

Again you can argue it's a strategy. But to me, that is an unfair strategy. Being a democratic country, and fairness has been on the lips of our fellow politicians, is this the action taken correctly? If you claim to have a fair country, then let the opposition parties compete fairly with the current government. Give them equal time to hold ceramahs and conferences to the public. And not keeping everything all by yourself.

Just a while ago i was watching the live broadcast of an interview with our Chairman of SPR. One reporter asked about the BERSIH demonstrations. All he did was to ignore the question and moved on to another question. Well you and i know that the BERSIH was about some sort of problems in our election system, and that fellow Chairman could not give any answer to that. Something must be wrong. Wonder what could that be....
