508 - Black Perhimpunan

              Months before election started, newsfeed started to flood with all kinds of info about PR and BN. BN had ruled for 55 years, have you not know about the corruption? Have you not see how this government works? Or you just choose to think 'It's none of my business. Every party is "eats" money. Whatever. I just live my life with what I have. Close one eye lah, you help me I help you.' Right, you help me I help you. Really? Everything happens now affects your own future. I have friends telling me, they don't want BN to lose because they want their loan, if BN loses they are done with their studies. No more future. My question is, if you have your ptptn now, finish your studies in few years time, you think that this is your secure; your future. But, have you heard of jobless graduates on the streets? You think your future is secured? No, you get your certificate, yet losing a bright future. We are exposed to the internet, world wide. No longer covered under the mainstream medias. With all kinds of negative events we've gone through under BN's govern, why not step out to change? Why not give PR a chance? That is my first thought, after all the exposure on Facebook and people.

               I do not understand politics, trust me. I learn from friends, from the web. Try to analyse what I've read, try to figure it out what is exactly happening now, in our country. Even till now, am still blur with the issues revealed. One thing I am sure, is how unfair GE13 was done. Everyone, well at least almost everyone on my Facebook were swearing, complaining, sharing statuses; links; photos. Changing their profile picture and cover photos to black, whole Facebook turns black within 15 minutes. People are disappointed. Then, comes the criticizes, condemns, protests and so on. Issue of racist being raised, rumors, denials unidentified, ext-ext. People discussed about vigorously, violently, patriotically. But, does things change if we just sit before computer? No, we have to show the government what we think!

               Everyone is worried about riots. If everyone fear and hide in their houses, these perhimpunan would be a failure. Thus, I choose to show my support, my rights by attending perhimpunan hitam. I am 20 years old, I have no votes nor stand in any party. I just want a better future for our country. GE13 does not show how democratic is Malaysia, but how Malaysians come as one. No matter how the results are, no matter they succeed to reelect or not, at least we have done what we can do. What is left to do, is pray. Pray for the government and Malaysia.
