Cloudy, it seemed. The weather was rather melancholy. I was hype however. The enthusiasm built up, I was grinning from ear to ear. I felt accomplished. I was taking my elderly to register for the election.<\/p>\n<p>For more than 40 years my parents haven&#8217;t played their part, being a Malaysian. I am embarrassed, appalled to this sad fact. Yes, my parents are guilty of the apostasy. They have forsaken, ignored the call to vote. It&#8217;s never too late to retribute. I shall be the catalyst to this change. The journey to the post office didn&#8217;t take long but the anticipation was indeed lengthy. Many questions were raised in the 15 minutes drive. How and what ? &#8220;To be honest, I have no idea,&#8221; I answered truthfully. The last election I was away on holiday. Guilty as charged.  I just hope the next election will come and I&#8217;ll be around to fulfill my part.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at the post office, the process was simple. With my parents&#8217; identification card and their signature on the white form, the registration was completed. Next, is to wait for the election day to come.<\/p>\n<p>Have you registered ? Have your parents registered ? If you&#8217;re not sure, you can check online at the <a href=\"http:\/\/daftarj.spr.gov.my\/daftarbi.asp\">Election Commission of Malaysia<\/a>. Registration is really easy. More information <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spr.gov.my\/index\/regelectors.htm\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I humbly urge all unregistered Malaysian to register for election. Do your part and make a change.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The clock is inching slowlyTime is slipping away Our country is close to going astrayWhat are you doing today ?
