Does the present BN deserve to be voted back to the office?
Is the present opposition ready to govern?
Should Malaysians bother to vote?
So what should Malaysians do?
And what do Malaysians want?A Wolf Or Two Lions??
Here's how the story goes (someone sent it to me, sorry i would acknolewde the author if i know):
Long time ago, God put two flocks of sheep on grassland: one group at north and one group at south. God also gave them two types of native predator: Lion and wolf.
God told the sheep: “If you choose wolf, I shall give you one, and it’s allowed to bite you at its will. If you choose lion, I shall give you two, and you are allowed to choose anyone from the two of them to stay on the grassland, and you can replace it at any time.”
So, the question is: If you are one of the sheep, what will you choose? A wolf or two lions?
It’s easy to make your choice, right? Remember your choice, and continue with our story.
The sheep at the south thought that lions are more fiercely than wolf, so they picked a wolf.
The sheep at the north thought that although lions are more fiercely than wolf, but they have the option to choose, so they took two lions.
The wolf started eating the sheep once it entered the herd at the south. The wolf was smaller and it had smaller appetite. One sheep is enough to appease its hunger for days. So the sheep only were hunted once a few days.
The sheep at the north chose a lion and leave another one with God. The lion started eating sheep once it entered the herd at the north. The lion was more fiercely than the wolf and it had much larger appetite. It needed to eat a sheep each day to keep its stomach full. So the sheep is hunted everyday, and they were very afraid.
They asked God to replace the lion. But the lion that stayed with the God has not been eaten anything and it was very hungry. It pounced on the sheep and bite like crazy. The sheep had to run for their life everyday until they didn’t have time to eat.
The sheep at the south were grateful that they made the right choice, and they laughed at the sheep at the north for being stupid and chose the wrong predator.
The sheep at the north repented for their choice. They complained to God, and asked God to change their native predator to a wolf. But God said: “No. Once the native predator was chosen, it cannot be changed anymore. You must live with it forever. Your only option is to choose between the two lions.” The sheep at the north have to keep rotating the two lions.
But both lions were the same. Both of them showed no mercy. No matter how they rotate the lions, their situation was always much more miserable than the sheep at the south. At last, they stop rotating. They kept a lion full all the time while letting another one suffered in hunger. They only replaced the lions when the suffering lion was dying.
After a long time of hunger, the suffering lion realized that: Even they are much stronger than the sheep, but its fate is controlled by the sheep. The sheep can send him back toGod anytime, and let him suffer and die in hunger.
So it treated the sheep very nice, it only ate the dead and the old sheep and it wouldn’t eat the healthy sheep. The sheep felt very surprise and happy. Some of the younger sheep even suggested letting the suffering lion to stay forever. But one of the elder reminded them: “The lion treats us good because it is afraid that we’ll send it back to the God. If we let another lion die, we’ll left with no choice and the suffering lion will return to its nature and starts hunting us again.” The sheep agreed with the elder. To prevent another lion starve to death, they replaced it after a few weeks.
And the lion also realized that its fate is controlled by the sheep. In order to stay longer on the grassland, the lion tried its best to please the sheep. Another lion felt so sad that it had to suffer hunger again.
After experiencing such a hard time, the sheep at the north finally can enjoy themselves.
At the mean time, the situation of the sheep at the south became worse and worse because the wolf had no competitor and the sheep couldn’t replace it. It started to act wildly. It had to kill ten sheep everyday. It didn’t eat sheep anymore. It only drank their blood. The sheep were not allowed to make a sound because they would be killed by the wolf if they do so.
In the end, the sheep at the south could only bemoan: “We should choose the lions in the first place……”
End of story.
So, what do you get from this story?
We can only surrender if we don’t have the right to choose and decide (like the sheep at the south). But the democracy system gives us an opportunity to exercise our power to choose and decide our destiny (like the sheep at the north).
But in our country, many people don’t realize that they have the power to do so. They keep feeding the same lion with their flesh and blood while letting another one starve to death. As a result, the lion grows stronger and its appetite becomes larger. It starts to think itself as King doesn’t care for the sheep as long as it’s happy. And it hopes that this situation will last forever.So, I hope that after reading this story, you’ll realize that you have the power to choose. You have to show the lions who’s the boss!! And the best time to do it is in the coming General Election!! Replace the fat and greedy lion

Change or No Change?
Change may not necessarily be better.
But without change, it is not possible to become better.
I believe most of us are fearful of change. It is not an easy choice but, in reality, we face with choice of changes all the time in our daily lifes. We make changes when we feel that the old way no longer relevant to us, there is always a risk that things get worse, but one thing is certain, we never know if we do not make this choice. Even if the situation gets worse, is it really that bad? as i am sure this is where we learn the most, from our mistakes, from our own wrong turnings and this are the things that makes us grow stronger and more wisely!
I have heard from one arrogant CEO that we don't learn from our mistakes, but from our successes. Yes, it's true.. always better to learn from the mistakes of others... An interesting philosophy, but for us "muggles" or normal beings, we have to do things the hard way and success will come eventually and we can then learn from "success"

The future of Malaysia is in your hands!
It has never been my intention to campaign for the opposition or against the ruling party. Being apolitical, I subscribe to ideologies that will protect and benefits me as a citizen of the country and the future of my country.
So, what do we want, i want lots of things, Wii if you want to buy it for me. hehe
Jokes aside, Actually, the questions is what do all Malaysians want irrespective of race, colour of skin, political stand.... Things like peace, harmony and progress and a means to live a honest life
Well, maybe i don't speak for all, here's my list:
1. a clean and honest and effective judiciary where integrity of the judiciary from executive interference.
2. A shawdowy cabinet that will look over the present executive to minimize all tha hanky-pankys going on/ not going on!
3. Improved public safety - no elaboration needed here.
4. $$$$$.....Accountability in government expenditure.
Let's start with these first....
i know who my vote will go to. Do you?
