Malaysia 13th General Election.

Watching the poll procession going on from the nomination day to result day was full with excitement. I recall the same feeling while watching soccer, although I am not a great fan of it. The mix feeling when seeing somebody won a seat and lost a seat is virtually fun and addictive.I stayed online since the nomination day and stay on & off on YouTube during A political campaign' duration. Watching the clips made by fellow bloggers giving me excitement as close as being there myself. Opposition claim this and BN claim that, it goes back and forth for 15 days and I must admit, if I had to choose it must be a very difficult decision I have to make on polling day. These were the days when the true politician (or leader) emerges. I might not be the right person to write about leadership, but I guess as human we understand and know leadership when we see one. Immediately a sense to follow that someone will dictate the next action we make.A lot to be done to my dear Malaysia. Let's work together.
Below is a set of images that I photograph during nomination day for seat P197 Kota Samarahan.let the images tell the whole story.

A mountain in Bengoh.

Nestled atop a mountain in Bengoh, Padawan sits a Bidayuh Biatah village called Kampung Semban.To reach Kampung Semban at 1000 feet above sea level, one takes a six-hours’ trek through jungle trails passing bamboo groves, paddy fields, pepper vines, rubber trees, durian orchards and umpteen bamboo bridges, amidst cool breezes and the gushing waters of the streams and waterfalls.

 And what is so special about Kampung Semban ladies is its remaining treasure of  ladies with brass rings on their legs and arms, the eldest more than 80 years old, the youngest more than sixty years old.

 At the summit, one is rewarded with spectacular views of the golden sunrise over the magnificent Bungo range, the billowing clouds forming a feather canopy over the valleys and with the fresh mountain air rushing into one’s lungs.

==========================================================================
A friend of mind said I need not vote because I was overseas and why should I have to give up my right to vote just because I happen to be out of  the country? Just because I didn't live in Malaysia does not mean I do not care about what happen in Malaysia. I strongly belive that people who doesn't vote shouldn't complain voting should be compulsory for anyone that is eligible.It is not a matter of YES,NO ,maybe well,Let us see it's an important voice that should be heard.
