Marilah Mengundi

Ho, it’s long since I last update my blog. It’s due to heavy load of assignments and tests. Anyway, today mark the end of the campus election period for student represent in University of Technology Malaysia. This is also the period where you can find alot of hanging posters and flying flyers with faces which comes along with a X right below them.

It’s an event where a lot papers, plastics and all sorts of stationary are wasted just to promote students who wish to stand out or wanted to represent UTM students. In this 3 days period, we have been continuously receiving sms on who to vote, or visitors which tells you who to vote and what they promise to do when they got into the Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPP). It’s more likely same as politician elections in your area but the only different is you don’t get the road repair or drains unclog.

However, there are candidates who came out with ridiculous promises. Promises such as he would fight for 50% off flight ticket as if his daddy owns Airasia or Mas, 0% interest for ptptn. I wonder if he thinks before he puts on these promises. On the student side, posters burning are of cause unavoidable which this isn’t a positive act for these so called educated people.

Haha. The best part about voting every year in UTM is that we will be getting free stuff right after we vote. Every year, first ten students for each faculty who voted received a pendrive as a token of appreciation, the rest would be stuff like planners or drinks or foods.

Today, we voted, we fulfilled our responsibility like what they asked us to do. After tomorrow, will those who won the election fulfil theirs? Oh hey, can give me those posters after you guys take it off? Can use it for printing and calculation mah.
