Tanggal 31 Bulan 8, 57

August 29th, 2007

This is what I’ll do in conjunction with this year’s 50th Merdeka celebration.

I shall be all patriotic. I shall be a responsible citizen.

I shall register myself as a voter, finally.

….and then I shall vote for the opposition party.

So what are you going to do this Merdeka?

Happy Merdeka everybody! May we have better years to come.

Everyone has to be registered to vote in Australia, else we get fined.

Happy Merde.

Register as a voter on a public holiday. Excellent. LOL

FA: Sempena hari merdeka lah. I didn’t say i’ll register ON merdeka day mar.. aiyoh…

Happy Merde? You know, if you spoke French… I’ll be voting for the opposition in spirit with FA.

Dabido: This requirement sounds like a tax grab.

Dax at August 31st, 2007 around 9:58 am
Dax - No, not a tax grab. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t/hasn’t register to vote. So, I’m not sure how many fines get issued. We also get fined if we don’t vote or forget to vote. [Which is sometimes a hazard for Aussies who live overseas who don’t hear about elections].

But, it’s required by law that everyone gets registered to vote, and it’s also required by law that everyone vote in their local/state/federal elections. [Or at least turn up, get their names marked off to prove they had the oportunity to vote, and then pretend to write something on the voting paper - apparently Mickey Mouse gets more votes than some politicians].

Dax: Oui. Exactly, mon ami. It’s what some (most?) local politicians has been trying to feed the populace. Check out the mentioned blogs above by “Biolovepulse”, and also malaysiankini. Also, for a triple dose of racism-fuelled politics, google for the “Pemuda UMNO”’s forums (in Malay, they can’t/won’t use English).

A simple thank you for making the effort. The icing on the cake is who you’re voting for.

Have a great holiday.
