Voting and Voters

I went to Hannah Yeoh's ceramah last week. I am surprised I did. It was only the last election where I couldn't care less. But I know why I did this time. It was her face. Fresh young. Could she lead? It was the fact that she was headprefect from my previous school, SMK Subang Utama
(wah, proud-nya).
So I wanted to give her a chance. Hear what she has to say. And she did not dissapoint.
Yes she can lead, she said in her speech she was aware of all those questioning her abilities as a young woman. (She's 29) Her speech was well presented, no use of derogatory language (which other politicians are so fond of) , no broken English. No mindless jokes and no coffee shop talk.

I remembered a few lines that struck me.
'I am young but I am clean'
'I was ELECTED to the post of headprefect and at 16 years old managed 2000 students in my school'
and a lot more concerning Subang Jaya's useless development. I am sure you're familiar with our stupid goldenbird statue and million ringgit 'park' situated at a roundabout so we can all take in the carbon-monoxide air and enjoy the tranquility of irate car drivers horning.

Happy voting to my friends who have registered. To those who have not but feel the chagrin of their mistake now, not too late. You can still play mind games and influence other voters :)
