DAP has launched its official campaign video with the slogan “Just Change It”…
Frankly, I can’t see anything sentimental with the video, but it makes it giggle, and I like it. The person who designed the campaign slogan (Just Do Change It) and the Nike logo should be shot though… that’s quite an obvious plagiarism.
According to Kit… 75 seats are what the opposition political parties need for a beginning of new democracy with an effective check-and-balance.
I think they would need 80 instead… BN might (most likely will) try to bribe an MP or two to switch side if the situation is critical. Make it 80 and they would be safe.
[Update March 12, 2008] 82 is the lucky number.
Newspaper headlines today are dominated with the “news” of BN government giving out money, gifts and donations to various groups and organisations.
With election drawing near, doesn’t this gimmick sound like “Money Politics” to you? The great things about this stuff are that the Election Commission is closing one eye with it, and some main media is glorifying the money-giving act.
They came with a dream, but Malaysia is not their dreamland after all…
Some 1,000 Bangladeshi workers have been living along the cemented banks of Sungai Gombak, behind the Bangladesh High Commission, for the past two weeks after leaving their employers with claims of abuse and delayed salary payments.
The Bangladeshis have mixed complaints, with the majority alleging that they had not been paid their salaries for up to nine months. Others said their work did not match the job stated in their employment contract, while others alleged physical abuse, including beatings.
I hope the government is taking this issue seriously… it’s unacceptable that slavery is still happening in the 21st century. It is an embarrassment to our country, and it’s a violation of basic human rights.
