Visit to Bagan Pinang


Malaysians in Bagan Pinang will have their hands full when they cast their votes to choose their representative in the State Assembly. A simple yet daunting task since they need to choose one who really appeals to their aspiration, to see that their home fill with progress instead of lagging behind.

One of the aspirants is their own former Menteri Besar who has ruled them for over 20 years and now he is trying to make a spectacular come back, a feat which he has greater chance of realising it as compared to the other aspirant. For 22 years, he leads the state to memorable heights but perhaps one of his memorable contribution is the unprecedented Nipah Virus outbreak which leads to 105 losing their life. What saddened most Malaysians is the fact that despite being a Muslim majority state, his state is reported to house the biggest and the most number of pig farms both legally and illegally.

Then, he won the UMNO VP post and he proudly proclaims that though he is unknown but he still he manages to win. He is later discovered to be involved in money politics a.ka corruption during the party campaign and election, causing him to lost both his VP and Minister's posts. He then retreats into the background until he resurfaces few weeks ago and now he is on the verge of victory. Yet, again his victory if he indeed win, is tainted by unjust practice through the postal votes line. While the Opposition is denied the access to postal voters he, on the other hand, enjoys the privilege to unlimited access to those voters.

Anyway, nothing is lost until the result is out. In the meantime, Malaysians in BP need to remind themselves that they are involved in creating another history for their homeland but this time around they savour the grandeur of defeating Goliath and rid their home of corrupt leader whose only presence is to rob and shame them further. This, certainly is not intended to insult and shame them but a sincere plead for them to change for the better. Do it for their faith and nation.

Vote Pas, it is never too late for change
Undilah Pas, masih belum terlambat untuk BERUBAH
