I am now a registered voter..or so I thought!

On Federal Teritory Day, whilst I was waiting for my other half (who was limping due to 'rempits' sport) waiting for his que to renew his passport, I registered myself as a VOTER at this small kiosk that people might have mistaken it to be temporary 'parking ticket' counter.

Yes people, I would like to gladly announce that at the age of 29 (plus 2 or more months) I have finally register myself as a voter. Now I can vote for the 'ideal' government (according to my belief system). However, much to my despair, I was informed that my name will only appear in the voter list in May? What?! You must be kidding me (there goes 1 vote to BN..I suppose). Why does it take that long for my name to appear in the list? What kind of procedures are in place just to verify that :
  1. I am Malaysian, residing in Malaysia
  2. I am real person, not a 'hantu'
  3. I am 18 thus eligible to vote
Come on people, we have UNIFI, WIMAX, P1 etc & what not..why does it take that long to verify my status? Enough being said about that, now I would like to give my views of an 'ideal' government according to my 'belief system':
  1. A gov who will be able to revamp the education syllabus in order to produce generation who is not only booksmart, but also 'smart in life' & ethical (& of course that does mean that you have to change the syllabus everytime a new minister is appointed)
  2. A gov who can help the rakyat in reducing living cost (education & training, toll charges, tax incentives etc)
  3. A gov who can provide better public transportation system & better road conditions
  4. Basically, a gov who can guarantee my kids, & their kids..a life where they can explore every opportunities that life has to offer
So, who shall I vote....(in case by God's will my name appears on the voter list, and I'm not referring to Undi Hantu)...wonder...
