I very rarely blog about politics. I've steered away from kampung politics, office politics and Malaysian politics... I do vote though. All I want is to live in a peaceful country. I acknowledge politics is necessary to achieve that but I'll let people who are passionate about politics do their thing. I normally tried to be neutral. If BN did something stupid, I'll say they are stupid and vice versa with the Opposition. If I couldn't take repeated political craps shown on prime time news, I'd just not watch the news for a few days. That way I can watch Oprah and get motivated, enlightened and have a feel-good feeling after the show. Way much better than watching prime time news and political craps.
After the March 2008 election, things seem to get from bad to worse. The arrest of RPK, Teresa Kok and the journalist is downright nonsense. I thought Journalists have some code of conduct they have to follow and governments have to respect the right of journalist to report. Journalists are even safe in the war zone. How come they are not safe in Malaysia? I can see it coming for RPK since the government can't silence him despite blocking access to his blog and he is not a journalist like the newspaper journalist. But what about Teresa Kok? Why isn't that Ahmad held under ISA? Why is the rule different for UMNO members than the rest of the world?
With all this nonsense going on, I'm declaring myself the supporter of the Opposition, the supporter of 916, the supporter of enough nonsense, the supporter of enough corruption and the supporter of a more united Malaysian!
Sunflower gives the connotation of cheerfulness, bright, jolly, merry... you get the idea! However, if any content in this blog didn't fit the cheerfulness implied by its name, look at it this way... I'm putting down all the wretchedness, gloom, melancholy feeling in here so I can continue living up to the expectation of making the association to the sunflower.
