What a night!
I actually REALLY REALLY wanted to go for Backstreet Boys’ concert last night. Instead I ended up at a church listening to an election debate.
lol.
All I can say is that I may not have faith in religion, but I sure have faith in the residents of Petaling Jaya :) Donald Lim was ripped apart by erm, himself. You should’ve seen him squirm in his seat and how he kept passing the microphone to Dr Lim Thuan Seng in attempt to shirk from answering legitimate questions on oil subsidies, meritocracy and religion. Thuan Seng made some sense at least by explaining how things work and the restrictions he faced in his job. He was pretty darn defensive though. If he can’t handle the rakyat, then why on earth are we voting him in?
Then there is opposition Hee Loy Sian. I was disappointed. He was silent throughout the night. Not even a peep after his lack-lustrous speech. sigh. Do better PKR! We need vocal candidates for Parliament! The most impressive individual that night was most certainly Edward Lee in his beloved ‘Uncle Edward’ style :) Find someone who can give you an answer on how assessment rates are dealt with by Petaling Jaya City Council, trust me you won’t find any. I bet even people within MBPJ won’t know themselves. Edward was also really good with his clear stance on resolving the crime endemic in PJ. I’ve always had immense respect for people who take matters in their own hands instead of always whining or shifting the blame on other people. How did Thuan Seng fare? He justified that MBPJ had to do what they did in raising the assessment rates.

Who would you vote for - the man who says “that’s an issue I’ll pick up since I don’t know anything about it” or someone who already knows the concerns of the residents because he is one himself and is resolute in finding viable solutions?
The entire dialogue was good in general. Now I can REALLY gauge my candidates in order to make an informed choice. More debates from politicians please because only an immature democracy do you have one-sided ceramahs. I think DAP has sent out some invitations, are any Barisan candidates matured enough to response?
I guess not.
