well, it was quite a special day for today because it was my first time of voting experience for the 13th General Election in Malaysia.
after getting myself prepared, i followed my brother car as he will be fetching my mother to the school near Eng Ann because the poll election area is different.
when we arrived the destination of my mother's voting area, there was quite a lot of people queue up and the parking slot has been blocked as shown picture below.
at first we thought need to wait for the confirmation room by presenting the "paper" below but it seems that there is no need since we "print screen" the name of the SPR verification into our smartphone.
moreover, it seems that there was no "Bangla" spotted when i was waiting.
after waited for almost 2 and half hour, finally it was my turn and the process start with handling out my ID for verification purpose, then continued with painting one of my left finger as shown below.
during the moment when i look into the voting paper, it seems that there was another logo that i never seen before which is elephant and others but i still stick with my voting decision.
overall the process took about 3 hour including queuing up and i just feel it was quite worth as i had done my duty as a Malaysia citizen.
during the afternoon, mother had cooked braised mushroom with chicken rice as our lunch.
somehow i just saw more and more people post about "finger" and some unfair "bangla" voters news.
well, i do feel "pity" for those "Bangla" because they had been "dragged" into this political things but it seems irrational for those people who "beat+hurt+screaming" at them.
frankly speaking, i just feel that the reason why they present there was risking for wanting a better life.
for example, if a very rich country's government offer you a Free citizenship, jobs and thousands of money in return, would you go for it although you know you will get yourself in trouble from the local people?
i guess most of the people will risk for it because they don't want to be "poor" when go back to their country.
after some moment, i start to feel sleepy and went to take a nap.
the moment i woke up again was 7.35pm and mother cooked some noodles as our dinner.
then i just start to surf the internet and read all sort of news while watching the 13th GE Parliament Results in LIVE from Malaysia Kini website.
from time to time, it seems that more people spread about the news that our government playing "dirty tricks" and do "magic show" when the TNB electricity suddenly turns down.
the climax for the voting was in Bentong when Liow Tiong Lai (BN) 25,947 defeats Wong Tack (DAP) 25,568 by just 379 different and it is done after the electricity issue.
therefore it had eventually make people feel "suspicious" and suddenly everyone is saying the election is full of dirty and unfair when more and more picture being posted up.
honestly, i was "following the crowd" when i said it is full of "dirty tricks" as i never know whether it is true or not because i just see what's others people share instead of present at that real venue to see it myself for the whole incident.
in fact, i do have a feeling that all this election was actually just "doing a show" for the public to see before it starts from the very beginning.
anyways, below was some of the picture that i would like to share about.
later on, the final 13th GE resulted had been released around 3.30am where BN gained 133 and Pakatan Rakyat gained 89 where the government will still continue to rule for the next 4 years+ as below.
well, the result of my area P109 seems to be finally updated around 4am and i feel myself quite "crazy" to wait until so late just to see it.
in conclusion, the opposition has lost Kedah state but still "holding" the three Selangor, Penang and Kelantan states.
at last, i just hope everything will be "solved peacefully" tomorrow and was glad to be one of the first time voters as i am looking forward to the next 14th 2018 general election.
