Wow! after yesterday’s announcement, everybody suddenly tune to different channel, the general election. Every newspapers, every radio stations, tv stations say nothing else but the coming general election. I think the campaigning period will starts immediately! We Malaysians will vote once every four or five years so it is like a party time now.

Now the basic things are:

Who is eligible to contest?
Who is eligible to vote?
What is at stake? See here ===>>>
Nomination Day?
The Deposits? either for parliament or state seats
Campaigns period between nomination day and polling day (this is fun)
The Poling day (The Big day or The D-Day)
Walla!…counting process and the forming of the new government.

Opps!, there are new criterium this time around:

The use of indelible ink, and
transparent ballot boxes.

So are you ready to rock? He, he, he, I mean to vote. Have you check your electoral roll? If not check yours here, Your Electoral Roll. (just key in your I.C. number).

Note:

This 3 weeks or so I should call it an election fever but life should go on as usual and so does my business. I will update more regularly here about election and as well as doing businesses online.
