Just today, the election commission announces it's decision to cancel the use of indelible ink for this coming 12th GE due to public order and security issues. This is completely shock and unexpected as SPR has promised the use of indelible ink will be in place for this coming election just end of last year. Indelible ink is one of the agenda BERSIH fight for in order to avoid multiple voting from "phantom voters". Citing public order and security issues by the election commission is complete nonsensical. What kind of security issues it will impose to public by marking someone finger during collecting ballots? I have to say that this 12th GE will be as dirty as it was before. What credibility can a government has if it's elected by 'ghost' but not the people? The most fundamental human right of the people has been 'raped' by BN!

What i heard from the Chinese at my hometown :
"UMNO VS PAS - VOTE PAS
UMNO VS KEADILAN - VOTE KEADILAN
MCA VS DAP - VOTE MCA"
“我們知道馬來人的政治態度，他們即使對政府不滿，也會確保集中力量於政治管道，讓他們代表族群在政府裡決定命運，不會自我削弱。因此，大部份馬來人都傾向支持巫統。”
黃家定說，這個現象持續了50多年，接下去也會如此；但華人若一半選擇抗議，一半選擇支持執政力量，主流執政力量就會失去平衡，而馬來社會代表繼續擴大。
他表示，當在外面喊叫的人以華人為主，執政趨勢將形成馬來人支配政府，做決定時不平衡，因為華人在政府里太弱，無法有效講出華人心聲。
“在外面幾強都好，肯定教訓不到巫統，反而會弄巧反拙，使許多事情在內部決定了，我們還在外面喊喊叫叫。”
幾年才獲一次權利
拿選票發洩對不起自己
黃家定說，幾年才獲得一次投票的權利，如果拿這票去發泄、抗議及教訓別人，這樣的話才膚淺，也太對不起自己。
“投票目的是選政府，必須確保本身及族群還有社群往後的日子是否會更好及有保障，同時，也要選出能符合自己心裡所想的政治代表。”
黃家定說，當選民投下手中一票前，必須先想想這張票是祖先爭取憲法保障公民權地位下得到參政機會才有的權利，非常寶貴及不易。而且，一個人的一生中只有10多次的投票機會。
“我們必須非常客觀、理性及冷靜地問自己，投票的意義是甚麼，而這一票是否對得起自己、家庭、民族、社會及國家，這是非常嚴肅的事情。”
The old priest lay dying in the hospital.
For years He had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital.
He motioned for his nurse to come near.
"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.
"I would really like to see Khairy and Samy Velu before I die",
whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father" replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to them and waited for a response. Soon
the word arrived. Khairy and Samy would be delighted to visit the
priest.
As they went to the hospital, Khairy commented to Samy "I don't know
why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our
images."
Samy couldn't help but agree.
When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Samy's hand in
his right hand and Khairy's hand in his left. There was silence and a
look of serenity on the old priest's face.
Finally Samy spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen,
why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"
The old priest slowly replied "I have always tried to pattern my life
after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
The old priest continued..."He died between two lying thieves. I would
like to do the same."
