The election is just around the corner! This Saturday, Malaysia decides!
This time around, the tides seem to have really taken a major shift, and what's more, as an eligible voter now, for the first time I'm part of that Action!
So much has been going around;
-Banners pollute the streets
-Flags fluttering in the winds of change
-People crying out for JUSTICE!
-Ceaseless hailing of manifestos
-Opportunists shaking hands with strangers
-Press prints pressing the "op-Pressed"
-Alternative news network goes free (for a week)
-Demeaning caricatures of a "Cheap Red"
-Erasing indelible inks
.... the list goes on....
(Banners, Banners everywhere! I'm sure the printing companies are making millions)
(B.E.R.S.I.H = Free and Fair Elections... at least that was what we hoped for...)
But what does all this mean to me?
Malaysia, a land that I have learned to love as I was growing up. Though I have seen its bites and blisters, even some places I wished I had not seen, yet this is the land of my origin and I believe that it will someday rise to become a great nation in my generation!
Christians, Christians, do you want to see change in your nation?
Are we concerned about what our country is going through?
Or are we only interested in the politics that only affects Christianity?
(Christ and the Ballot Box?)
I urge you my friends to get involved this time around. Read and discover what is going on! Know who you are voting for! Personally, my greatest concern is that the lower and middle class income people would get a fair leverage in terms of the socio-economical state from where they are in. Let Malaysian Taxes be for the Malaysian People! (Not getting lost in corruption at the high places!)
The votes we Christians cast isn't just done because of our responsibility as a good citizen, but a vote of wisdom that we allow God's hand to move and shape the up coming governance!
Commit the elections into our prayers!
May there be a move for the better as the reshuffling of the deck begins!
