We have marched. We have protested. We have ordered teh tarek after teh tarek, banged on tables, venting our frustrations and anger.
We have screamed "The system is corrupted. The judiciary is twisted. The economy is dwindling, prices and inflation continuosly rising."
Yes, we have read or even written blogs, read Malaysiakini and Malaysia Today, published our comments on those sites, satisfied that our words now are read by the many. Many, many are with us, we say.
Who's us? Are we going to really matter? The reason why the regime is not bothered to listen is because they know they are not going to get your votes. But they also know, that many of those protesting are not even registered voters, so it's not like the opposition is going to get your votes!
End of the day, no matter how fiery your speeches are, how many kilometres you have plodded through in your marches, you do have to realise that all that amounts to nothing come the elections.
So, are you then, a registered voter? Have you voted before and will you? If you are unable to answer "yes" to those questions, then, you might as well go home, pick up a copy of a magazine or tabloid, or flick those channels on Astro. Because raving and ranting on and on, marching on and on, isn't going to get you anywhere at the end of the day. You might as well cuddle up in the comforts of your home, because essentially, despite all the talk, you've done nothing and are not capable of doing anything.
Help keep that democracy. Help to truly make that change. Otherwise, someone is going to continue with the chest thumping, "I have the greatest landslide victory in history" and what can you say to that?? So you're not a voter, thus you didn't vote him. Well, you didn't help reduce that majority, did you? You let that chest-thumping happen.
At the end of the day, the votes count. You respect and uphold democracy? You make your voice heard. Even if you say the elections are rigged, at the every least, do your part and vote. There is no way they can rig an election too far, not a main one. If you are not a registered voter and cannot vote, save your breath. There is not much that you can do except be noisy. So don't blame the regime if again they win, and again with another landslide, because the people of Malaysia have decided that they should win.
There is yet this untested avenue to show our sentiments. We've marched, we've shouted. Now, get our votes counted.

We all think we know who Bodohwe is. Those of you who are eligible to vote and have not registered to vote and those of you who fell over for someone's sweet words the last time around; go look at the mirror and you will truly discover who Bodohwe really is!
Stop being Bodohwes and Mushrooms, you do not deserve the shit you are being fed by the BN and the MSM (mainstream media), wake up and one day we may all smell the roses. Go register as a voter and when the 12th election comes, vote wisely.

My mum and I are registered voters, and my mum has always voted for the opposition. I guess the spr found out, and this time, instead of the usual venue where my mum used to vote, she has been put in a locality that I believe doesn't even exist! She asked an spr officer where the place is, and the reply was, "don't know, never heard of the place."
In my case, my mum and I have the same address, but I have been put in a kampong DUN and Parliament! When I asked the spr officer, she said it was not easy to change! So, what do we do?
don't fret ysy, they are counting on you and your mother not to vote in those areas, so that their candidate there would have a higher majority.
These are done in places where they need to win. They are hoping, and usually they are right, that by placing you to vote where you don't feel like going means you're not going out to vote, so a win and better majority for their candidate in that area is almost certain.
Vote anyway. They are ceratin you won't.
