Unrealized reality

Do you believe that this country is a free country where everyone can express their own opinion and believe?

I do believe on such thing but not until I became to the level I have become now. After all this years, i started to realize a lot of thing going on around me without me knowing.

My profession demands me to communicate with all kind of people everyday. Everyone of them. It does not matter if you are a criminal, a law abiding citizen, old, young, potential terrorist, suspected terrorist, pro government, opposition, straight or perhaps non straight people. I have to communicate with them to dig their history so I can make a certain diagnosis.

I was like an 'investigator', or a police officer. The difference is people scared to talk to police about themselves but to me, they can go down to the level until I do not want to believe it. Sometimes it is funny. Sometimes it is an eye opening for me.

So, a few days ago, I met a couple of people who involved in campaigning for the next general election. They were saying that they are trying hard enough to bring people to vote for them this time.

I am not into any political party in this year election, for me i am just a citizen who vote. I can vote anyone that i like.

To my surprise, this people start revealing some interesting fact to me. 2 most important fact that they revealed without realizing that they are exposing are as mentioned below:

1. They are campaigning from house to house to talk with the people regarding their political agenda.

The thing is, they said that they 'labelled' all the house that they went. They were actually screening whether that person is voting for them or potentially not. For those who are most likely not voting for them, they will send the name to their superior so that if their party win, this people will have to suffer the consequences such as not receiving any help from the ruling government ( money, scholarship, etc). A person said to me in much confidence saying that " It is their fault on why they did not receive any help from the government, because they don't support the party".

This is horrible. We are supposed to be a free country, we are free to vote whoever we want to vote. This method also have a lot of aspect that can be manipulated for a personal interest. This dangerous thing should not happen in our so called democracy country.

2. Money politic

Yes, we have heard this thing for years. However, some of us still saying "where got?" , "Show me the proof?", "all of this is just rumor created for political interest", "there is no truth in this"....

I am one of that person, years ago before I start working. At that time, I am in my own circle and I rarely talk with strangers like what i do now for my job.

So, I have been asking a few person regarding this mater. I am so lucky cause i have met a person who directly involved with this method. Yes, it has been confirmed. They are giving RM30 per person who promised to vote for their party.

I am so excited to know the fact until i smile for few minutes after that person left. Haha. It was so fun to know the truth event though the truth is ugly.



Anyway, I am looking forward to this upcoming election.
