Of concerts, ceramahs and animal rights, Part 5 (Today is the Day!!)

Animal welfare in this country is behind time.

We want more responsible and compassionate leaders who are willing to listen to our needs.

We want kinder laws for street animals.

Pray for clean and fair elections today, folks.

It’s now or never.

Please do your part.

They can’t, so we shall speak up for them!

Change happens all the time and in the same way that none of us can ever imagine Malaysia regressing to an age where women are not allowed access to education, we cannot ever imagine going back to a politics that is simplistic, patronising, top-down and unchallenged.

“Even the former opposition parties have learned, over the past five years, what it is really like to be in power and having to be accountable to NGOs and public opinion. It’s been a learning experience for all of us, and I believe we have grown a little wiser too,” well-known academic Dr Farish A. Noor wrote in an essay today.

That wisdom has meant that no government can now simply implement a top-down decision without being questioned by the people or told in no uncertain terms how unpopular some ideas are.

Ideas are being shared and shaped through the Internet, people, young and old, are coming together and ahead of politicians whose mindsets belong to the trunks of their forefathers who travelled in the previous century.

The old must make way for the new…

At the Kelana Jaya stadium a few hours ago…

 Daughter, Ming-Yi, came back from Kunak, Sabah, to cast her first-ever vote!
Son, Jia-Wen, will also be voting for the first time.

We’ll be heading off to the polls in about 7 hours’ time.

Please go early. Every vote counts!

The people are demanding for change.

The time has come!

Let’s make it happen!!
