Let me represent you, my rakyat!

I am afraid that the council is going to come and sita my property soon. After all, if your name isnt Zakaria and you are not on the council and your bestest buddy isnt Khir Toyo, chances are the council is going to come full throttle to demolish whatever extensions you had installed or come sita your property if you hadnt paid up. It does make me wonder why I didnt decide as a child to become a politician or even a councillor. Instead I had to aspire to be a teacher, a dancer or a lawyer. Why bother with all these lawyer teacher crap when being a councillor you can build whatever on whoever's land at anyway and anytime you want! If that is not absolute power, I do not know what is!

Of course it is only fit for the Menteri Besar, when asked what he will do about Zakaria's blatant disregard for laws, to state "Kita mesti bertindak mengikut undang-undang dan peraturan. Kita tak boleh bertindak mengikut emosi!" "Emosi" being, doing the right thing such as demolishing Zakaria's Istana Idaman, or perhaps prosecuting him under the law. Peraturan being, ignore the problem and hope it goes away OR say nothing is wrong and let Zakaria off with SEMUANYA OK and a pat on the back.

I laugh at the big fiasco that is going on with Zakaria.Being summoned by the King, being admonished for his abuse of power and apparently Zakaria was shaking from top to toe when summoned to see the Sultan of Selangor. The question that begs an aswer would be, so why is he still not being prosecuted? Why is his Istana still standing? Why is he not, oh I dont know, FIRED? And why is his Istana SO big? Where the heck did he get SO much money from? Just by being a councillor you can amass such a big future?
Well then again, if your daughter and your son in law is also in the council, chances are you have the opportunity to accumulate your wealth 3 fold!

All these issues that come to light have been nothing but embarassing. Yet besides being widely criticised and reported in the newspapers, nothing is actually being done. These councils and councillors have been using our hard earned money as their own. They have been going on toilet visiting trips to Maldives and SA, making expensive suit and ties for their formal dinners which of course will be sponsored by our money as well. And in return for using all our money, we have potholes on Jalan Universiti and every other major road you can think of, dirty streets and illegal parking along Jalan Klang Lama causing massive jams. While we are fuming in our Proton Wira stuck in a jam along some badly built and maintained road, the councillors are laughing all the way to the Bank in their Nissan X-trail or Kia Sorento.

All these ideas of so called transparency and accountability which the PM advocates has made me giddy in the head.

I wish I were chosen to represent the rakyat.

yea, go for it!

I'd wished for an alternative to the two-faced double standards ruling party and the unproven and unfocused opposition party.

I can't vote for you if you run in ipoh though.
