[Msia] Election 08: T-4
Touched down earlier tonight, and then had a canai, not a prata*. Came home - channel surfed, saw some really professional MCA ad with a lame-o tagline (totally weak message and terrible positioning).
Then went out - and actually managed to go out a catch 15 mins worth of a ceramah. Interesting stuff the politicos are in a frenzy baying, yelping any kind of promise and retheoric they can come up with (truths, half-truths, close to falsehood "conventional wisdom" etc).
On my way back, my dad actually told me that a bridge linking the SS22 zone to the SS21 zone was recently under works over the past week or so. The foundation is there and they have been "ting-ting-tong-tong"ing every night.
Now, this bridge in current works was in fact a promise made by the MP several years ago replace a smelly underground pass. And now in the final days before the election, they are toiling away like mad to get it up. It is comicseque to say the least - I can imagine a scene where the MP hammering away like Wile. E. Coyote with some iron bars and a box of Acme screws.
Gosh this is cool stuff, I wish we had elections every 2 years instead!
* It's a Msian food vs SFE issue.
** Of course, there is always a risk that if the MP is not re-elected we'll be left with slabs of concrete on both sides of the expressway.
