Voting the Vote

This it it. The much awaited Malaysian General Election is finally here. After the dissolution of the Parliament on 3rd April 2013, The 'E' day will be held tomorrow, on 5th May 2013. 

Cat is not going to talk about politics nor the parties that are contesting. Cat is also not going to rally for votes on behalf of any certain parties in her blog. There has been lots of speculations, heated arguments, peaceful discussions, persuasions and coffee table talks. What Cat wants to bring up is the question of "Voting".

 Majority of those around Cat either did not register as voters or plan to submit a 'blank' voting paper. Reasons that they gave are: 1) what's the use of voting when everything resolves around bribery? 2) My 1 vote does nothing 3) The result is screwed up 4) I do not care about politics or who will reign the country   5) fear for their safety in case of riots?

A vote is a vote. It's your right..and not voting implicates that you are throwing away your rights, your privilege to voice out your opinion or choice. Regardless of which party that you supported, without your one vote the party might lose. What is the use of complaining from the back end and not doing anything that can make a difference? You have seen what have been done by all the parties during the tenure. You have heard the promises and live with the improvements as well as  the downfall. It's time to jump off the fence and make a difference. It's your country after all and you are living in it.

Give a few minutes/hour of your time. Let's go and vote.

Cat
