Election fever is upon the nation again.
Well....perhaps not upon the nation. But upon the citizens who understand and appreciate the significance, importance and privilege of having the right to vote.
Democracy and the right to a fair government is fundamental to all progressive countries. And all elected governments, in theory, are elected to serve the people. Not the other way round.....the people do not serve its government.
The civil service serves the people.
The armed forces serve the country and its people.
The people's taxes pay for everything in a well-run country.
Yes, the people's taxes pay the salaries of the Prime Minister and ministers who sit comfortably in office making laws and policies that affect the lives of millions of rakyat - YOU.
And how that tax money and GST money is used is to be accounted for, to the people.
It is mind boggling to hear people voice strong opinions about politics, news, government policy and politicians only to answer a simple question of "have you voted?" with a stunning answer of "No, I'm not a registered voter. My vote won't make a difference anyway".
OMG! Seriously?
As a citizen, of any country, exercise your right to vote. If you don't vote, someone will vote for you.
If you do not choose, someone will choose for you.
God bless Malaysia.
