It’s all about money – OUR money!
I was once a Gerakan supporter (only every 5 years but not a member – thank God!) and by virtue of being that, a Barisan Nasional supporter – I was once a “bad” Malaysian!

I had voted on three previous occasions and on all those occasions, I gave my votes to a Gerakan/BN candidate. For that I’m ashamed today as I was one of those who supported those incompetent, corrupt and hegemonic buffoons who pulled our beloved country down to where it is today!
It is because of this shame that after 8 March 2008, I resolved not to simply take politics in Malaysia at face value but to TRULY understand what is going on and wherever possible lend a hand to others willing to sacrifice for a better Malaysia!
To do this, I had to read and learn about all there is to learn about my country. In April of last year, I embarked on a learning process by buying and reading books which offers a different opinion from those propaganda hurled at us by the ruling elites. One year and six months on, I’ve read 23 socio-political books on Malaysia.
The very first book I bought and read, Political Tsunami – An End to Hegemony in Malaysia shocked me. And I continue to be shocked today with everything I’m still learning when contrasted with my past recalcitrance!
This time round, I know what I’m doing. No more voting blindly because of taking the easy way out. Definitely no more to politicians who cannot see a bigger and better picture of a glorious Malaysia where ALL Malaysians care for each other and strive to put food on ALL our tables, not just those connected few!
