If i recall correctly the last time i felt so excited was back in 2008. It was the first time exercising my voting rights as a Malaysian citizen and i remember feeling ecstatic whilst we were walking towards the poling centre in Kepong. In every way i was eager because i felt so grown up and it was like i had superpowers to determine who eventually would run the country.  Ok i was what? 26 back then? Legally an adult aka a grown up but i’m forever young, so in my case age really doesn’t count. I even got my lucky number 6 voting booth which sealed the fact that i’m without a doubt genetically invincible.

With great joy and anticipation i attacked the weak with my mind-controlling ability. Alas, my superpowers might be a little bit stunted back then but the damage was done – the opposition won by a landslide.

With the rumors of the looming General Election, i’m once again preparing in glee. I hope it’s not just a rumor this time; not just because i am feverishly polishing my great powers but because this time i actually care. Before i might be voting because i was pissed and annoyed at the useless campaign surrounding the election and of course because my superpowers were at a stage of puberty in time to be released, this time i’m going to vote because i’m still pissed and annoyed and i want a change in the country.

Don’t laugh, i’m seriously serious.

It irks me to no extreme when i hear about ignorant people who refuses to vote or even to register themselves as voters although they are past their prime. Sitting on the fence is no excuse and it certainly doesn’t help improve the deterioration state of the country. It’s important who you choose to run the country but what’s more important is who not to choose. There are certain group of people (i’ve heard it dozens of times) who’s excuse is that they are not loving Malaysia too much so they do not bother about elections and such. I think what you guys mean is you do not love the Malaysian government too much and if you are not planning to migrate anytime soon, i suggest you do something because you are a citizen and residence of this country and you will still be effected by whatever policies the government comes up with.

These group of ignorant people will suffer from the wrath of my superhuman powers. If you feel a slight tingling sensation in the back of your head do not be alarmed, that will be me channeling telepathy. And if you feel the sudden urge to run to the post office with your I/C in your hands, that will be me successfully reforming your thoughts. There’s no point resisting – like i said i’m invincible.

By the way an acquaintance asked me how to chance the polling district she was registered with. Here’s how, go to the National Registration Department to change the address stated on your identity card to your current address. Head down to the nearest post office with the temporary I/C to change the voting district. I hope you are reading this but if not, i’ll use my ESP powers to make sure you get the details.

Hoping that this time other super-humans would join me for a full force drill.
