Vote or not to ?

It is just unbelievable that after going through 13 times of voting in General Election, the maturity of die-hard supporters of the opposition parties is still below the acceptable level of seniority. What is wrong to voice out openly to cast spoilt vote when the mood of dissatisfaction overshadowing confidence on the selection of candidate?

The passing of the budget 2018 in Parliament last November with the voting of 52 against 51 had brought out a clear message to all Malaysians that many of our law-makers had not carried out the entrusted duties and responsibilities of Malaysia voters. We have 222 members of law makers but only 105 attended and cast their votes with 2 abstained on the Budget 2018. Where were 117 elected members of Parliament? It was almost 52.7% or more than half of absentees .

Never have I heard any adverse comments on those law-makers who shrank their duties attending parliamentary sessions and meetings. If a law-maker can choose to avoid the parliamentary meetings and sessions and even refrain to vote by abstain, why not a man on street has right to cast spoilt vote and bring the message to others ?

Voting is an indirect transmission of confidence from the voter. However, if the candidates do not command the confidence of the voters, why should the voters betray themselves continue to vote? Spoilt vote will bring the message loud and clear. Please stop intimidating conscientious voters as casting spoilt vote is part and parcel of democratic process too!
