Malaysian politics like that la.

I seriously don’t understand our politicians. The government-controlled, BN-centric newspaper is talking down on us.
PM: People back Barisan
ALOR STAR: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the majority of the people would back the Barisan Nasional despite the Opposition’s smear campaign. LINK
Y: Politics is no child’s game. Oppositions cannot, would not, and do not SMEAR anyone without basis. Calling them names paint an even uglier picture for BN.
Abdullah credits GDP growth to political stability
ALOR STAR: A stable environment, prudent economic management and strong investor confidence led to the overall 6.3% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth last year, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Describing this as “beyond expectations,� the Prime Minister said the stable ringgit and robust domestic demand had also helped.
“Our increasing trade and reserves has also helped boost investor confidence. I believe this (the favourable economic environment) will boost further public expenditure and consumption,� he said when asked to comment on the fourth quarter GDP growth rate of 7.3% for 2007 released by Bank Negara yesterday. LINK
Y: My knowledge in economics is limited. But GDP growth does not amount to a surplus, does it? A growth in GDP but a decline in public health, security, and welfare is as good as nothing.
Don’t let opposition split the Chinese
KUALA LUMPUR: The power base of the Chinese cannot afford to be split especially with the declining population of the community, MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said.
He said there should be a firm grip on the power base to ensure consolidated political power of the Chinese.
“The Chinese can’t afford a split in political power by supporting the opposition which has not achieved anything.
Y: Parliamentary and state elections have nothing to do with race. Opposition is a NECESSITY for the balance of power, to prevent TYRANNY. What else could democracy mean? If the Chinese breal-up, they do so for many other reasons.
Yen Yen: MCA way ahead on matchmaking
RAUB: Wanita MCA started the Cupid Club for matchmaking women since 2000 so PAS’ proposal to do the same is nothing new, said Wanita MCA chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen.
She said Barisan Nasional had done all the things promised by PAS in its manifesto for the state.
“We’ve had women as village heads for a long time under the Barisan Nasional government. LINK
Y: I think she needs to keep herself abreast with foreign issues. Such Feministic views and actions have been criticized to be the cause for family institutional and social breakdown. Matchmaking services blamed for promiscuous lifestyles. Yen Yen’s argument is way outdated.

Dan lain-lain, and many more. I really don’t understand. Laughable trickeries on national news! So funny la. I can’t even mention all and avoid sounding looney.
A friend forwarded me an e-mail calling the Christian community to support DAP Hannah Yeow who is contesting for the Subang Jaya state seat. Another friend pointed out that as a public figure myself, I should have done a background check, state why we should support Hannah, instead of using religion the main propaganda, as initiated by the initial sender.
Hannah Yeoh is from my church. Curiously, I surfed her blog, her campaign-manager’s blog, and the DAP website. I did not find any info that would compel me to vote as a well-informed constituent. Makes me think the opposition expects people to vote by the sole fact that they are opposition parties. Perhaps the public lectures are better equipped, oh, I sure hope so. Because those thousands of street-hung banners do nothing good to advance the candidate’s agenda. How are we ever going to vote if you give us nothing to vote for? No wonder BN gets most votes. Our oppositions are very very bad at campaigns! Ar leasr BN know to manipulate public opinion.
Nevertheless, I would like to see more opposition members in the state legislature. So I am rooting for Hannah Yeoh.
I grew up in Subang Jaya and now live in USJ with my husband. This neighbourhood is my ‘home’-town. Even my wedding banquet was held in SJ.
I have recently been given an opportunity to contest in the coming election. Recent developments in our country have caused me to reconsider my responsibility as a citizen in M’sia. Time to walk the talk. READ MORE AT HANNAH’S BLOG

Penangites remember to vote for Jeff Ooi, yo! That’s one who plays an active step towards improving the country
