Vote For Change

There may be many things we do not know about the candidates from parties in opposition, but know this

- Corruption is endemic, only change will clean it up
Every election the party in power has promised to clean up corruption, and failed. They can't because they are part of it. They are part of the backroom dealings, the judge appointments, the big money deals, the long friendships with tycoons, the children, friends, spouses, cousins they have put into places of power.
The only way they can clean up corruption, is to sack their friends, their bosses, their partners and themselves. If politics is corrupt, it is because the current party in power is corrupt. I'd rather give a child a chance rather than someone who I have given my vote to before but has broken my trust. The only way to clean up this nation, is to vote for change.

- Opposition party candidates have been more open and engaging with the public
How many BN candidates you know have blogs? Most of them decry them and say they are bad, but blogs allow you to hear directly from your candidate. It allows you to send them an email, post a comment and directly interact with them. Opposition party candidates have different views on the position of the people, and are more willing to listen.

- BN Have No POLICIES
BN have money, time, resources, media agents - they should be making detailed policies on how to improve social rights, reduce crime, tackle inflation, and making the election about these bright ideas. Instead all they do is make simple promises about how they will spend your tax money (without giving you the exact details on the companies who earn from it, because those are of course state secrets), make vague promises about corruption and shamefully, disgracefully, promise to ensure national unity.
Promising national unity is the same as threating Malaysians with racial disunity. It's also hypocritical (how does Keris waving urging blood to be spilt help racial unity?), divides us and makes us distrust each other. It reduces politics to race and race only. But that's the only thing BN stands for; divide and conquer.
So before you ask what parties in opposition stand for, as yourself what the BN stand for. After winning 11 consecutive general elections and 50 years in power shouldn't they be giving us more?

Now is the time for change, but we must be brave. The party in power have lied, cheated and threatened you. They play a politics of fear and racial disunity, while the truth is there is only a disunity between a ruling political class and an abused, cheated and exploited Malaysian society.

We need new people, new values, new principles. Breaking up the current corrupt political system is a value in itself. The politics of BN have had too many chances, give it to someone new. You can do this, vote for change.
