When is it Miri's turn?

It is quite disappointing, knowing that YB Lee and George Chan won't be going anywhere soon. They have their butt patterns permanently imprinted on their office chairs.

It's really too bad. While the situation is better than most places I can think of in Malaysia, I don't think Mirians will say no to 36 million ringgit investments :)

A lot of people have been "bypassing" their way to Heaven lately. The back road to the airport seriously needs two lanes (so people can overtake safely if they want) and also lights which are not equivalent to those that can be found in my neighbourhood which is technically one of the most "prosperous" ones as far as "normal" is concerned.

Very glad to note that the city is still relatively clean though. I expected to see dirty roads and damaged lights stay unrepaired when I got back last year. No such signs. There are still a lot of squatters in the Pujut Corner area who could use some of that money (one of my friends still live there), not to mention the 500m or so pitch-black highway just before the Lutong bridge starts.

Oh, there's also the escalating crime rate thus the ridiculous curfews (not mine, but certainly a lot of complaints from friends) eversince. I get the ibby jibbys (Chunny's terms) everytime I drive out. When I return, the thought of getting the car stolen never relented. Or the worry that there might be someone hiding out in the backseat waiting to kill me. Or even when I get home and wake up the next morning to an empty space in the garage.

So is Mr. Fong Pau Teck (DAP 2006 Pujut candidate) still around? Haven't heard so much as a peep from him. I doubt I should even register to vote at all although I think it's against the EC rules? Not too sure, have to check on that. OR.. I could register and not vote at all.. but then there's that other rule which says you must vote at least once in every four elections? Hmm.. where do I hear these things..

Oh well.. good on the people of Ijok. Too bad Mirian's YBs aren't going anywhere soon.. I guess the thing to do is make sure the idiots are not elected next time, and then get tons of $$ pouring in in the next NEXT buy- *ahem* I mean BY-election. :)

Funny Dad sent us a picture of him posing with George Chan... Not that Dad's ever in "favour" of him.. that's the irony if you know what I mean ;)
