Election o election

Yesterday marked Malaysia's 12th General Election poling day. And yesterday also marked the second time which I failed to vote. The reason why I didn't vote the first time, which was in 2004, was due to confinement. This year, I am confined in Saijo. Hmmm... I wish there is a way for Malaysians living or studying abroad to exercise their rights in voting. A Thai friend told me that he was given the ballot by the Thai embassy during their election held a few months ago. That is sooo cool. And that is what I call giving the power to the people, no matter where they are... democracy rules!
