You know when Malaysia is going for election. The tell tale sign is everywhere. Everyone is preparing to vote and perform their duties as good citizens. The big day is to come. This is the day when the government fears its citizens. For a day, we become the bosses, but after that, it’s all back to ordinary.

A place that used to look awfully familiar to me a few weeks ago now looks more like a garbage dump site to me, wouldn’t you agree?

Anyway, I think that this election hype has gone a little bit too far. Have a look at a few examples I have for you below:

First, you have Mc Donald’s going for election. Vote for good value!!! Of course with a tick rather than a cross.

Those of you who have been reading the papers on a daily basis would have come across all these pictures.

Then, you have Air Asia joining the trend. This one isn’t too bad though. The “Now Everyone Can Vote” tag line is really a nice one. However, the “Only one choice” tag and the cross for Air Asia really makes it another one of those joining the heat of election just for more business revenue.

Then, you have Red FM advertising for better election coverage. That is completely cool, with the exception that you will have to vote for Red FM as well.

Last but not least, you have DiGi joining the election hype as well. I don’t know if it is just me, but there seems to be more parties joining the election this time round. Hmmm…

You would have noticed that I have not much coverage, if none at all, on the election. I am not exactly a political guy, though I do have my own stance and personal opinions. All I can say is, make the right choices and vote for your government carefully. Happy voting, you guys!
