Elections.

I've been noticing quite a few elections suddenly.
Maybe it's because I've taken up Political and Legal Studies now. XD
But seriously: elections. Plentiful and everywhere at the moment.

There's the ever famous one in America: Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton. The race continues.
Although I can't believe that Barack Obama in a TCK! He originates from Kenya and has even lived in Indonesia. To me, it's like 'wow...a real life TCK, becoming a president!' XD I imagine if he became president of the USA, though, he would probably have a better foreign policy than Bush ever did. As a TCK, our foreign policies are very open. I mean, please, his grandparents even still live in Kenya, he could put an end to the turmoil in Kenya! He lived in Indonesia, so he could very open to the muslims and all us poor things in South East Asia! This is brilliant! >.< Another election is the one in Malaysia. This one I don't know so much about, but I am a little worried about this election, for my own private reasons. I am not so sure I want UMNO to win this election again. They've done some very good work for the past 20 years, no doubt about it.
I agree that bahasa malaysia should be compulsory, because if we don't learn our own version of bahasa, then who will?
And I fully support this 'Visit Malaysia' programme they've got going on at the moment. Malaysia generates so much income from tourism, this is only gonna boost us up by a gazillion times.
But there's so much that needs to be done...that I believe needs to be looked at. But UMNO has been pushing all of these issues into the background [feigning ignorance?]. We could do with, okay, not a change of government, but perhaps a change of policies? Traffic policy. Foreign policy. We've been with the same party (parties, since UMNO has been having coalitions with MCA and MIC for forever and a day) since the beginning of Malaysia's government. Malaysia needs to progress, much as I agree we're probably the most forward muslim country in the world with women and dress codes and such [or are we?].
I want a Malaysia that I can come back to, a Malaysia that still has the same multi-cultural lifestyles, but with more opportunities. The tourists who go to Malaysia talk about all the shopping, but not much else can be said for the people sometimes.
