Candidates wanting to contest for any posts in Umno Youth in the coming party elections will have to set up their own websites or blogs first. It looks like our BN government is embracing the blogosphere...
Hold on, I thought blog writers are cowards, monkeys and gobloks.....
Thus, like what DanielYKL said, I guess we bloggers are no longer monkeys and cowards running wild in the jungle, right???
At least the Malaysian political arena and "karaoke singing" are MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING than reading those boring empirical journals for the much-dreaded assignments, though the events surrounding our political arena leaves me dumbfounded and dissatisfied at times......
Okay, to reconcile with what our Sejarah, Pengajian Am, and Pengajian Malaysia textbooks have been preaching about our CURRENT government being good and etc., yes, at least our BN government has accepted the truth about bloggers to the extent that they are even embracing it. I just hope that they (and the other MPs and YBs who are already bloggers) would update their blogs regularly, NOT just for the few months and leave it stagnant for the next 4 years.
On a seemingly random topic, I personally commend YB Tony Pua, the Member of Parliament for PJ Utara, for compiling his 15 questions for the 12th Dewan Rakyat sittings based on his readers' response and feedbacks. He did not take the people for granted, he listened to us….This is exactly what we want our elected representative to do- to be our eyes, ears and voice in the Parliament.
It is also my fervent hope that all the other MPs, be it from Pakatan Rakyat or Barisan Nasional, would emulate the action of YB Tony Pua and YB Fong Po Kuan of releasing the questions that they are going to raise during the Q&A session (NB: I do commend and applaud the actions of the other YBs who released their questions on their blogs too... Keep it up, YBs). This will give us the opportunity to evaluate our respective elected representatives objectively. No doubt the cabinet has permitted RTM to telecast live over RTM1 channel the Dewan Rakyat’s Q&A session FOR 30 minutes uncensored from 10am beginning April 30th when the House meets, but I personally feel that those half an hour live telecast are insufficient to conduct a true evaluation since the Q&A session are held for around 1 1/2 hours. Wait a minute, what am I complaining about???? After all, a half-an-hour viewing is much better than the two-minutes slot during the 8pm Warta Perdana. Now, I’m hoping that the coverage will be extended to include the debates. Well, Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek did not rule out that possibility…
Anyway, as I was going through YB Tony Pua’s list of questions that he has submitted to the Parliament office, I was happy to note that most of it are ongoing political issues that are close to the peoples' heart. FINALLY after 5 years of wondering and some soul-searching exercises, I will be getting the answers to his oral questions 4 and 5 as well as written question 3 soon……. Okay, I know some MPs such as the MP for Batu Gajah, YB Fong Po Kuan, have raised these issues during the previous Dewan Rakyat sittings but back then, their voices were feeble..... But not anymore.. 82 vs. 140
May God bless those noble and humble politicians, elected representatives and leaders who are brave enough to stand for what is just and right with the strength, wisdom and health to pull through it all….
