What is Corruption ?
In the run-up to the Parliamentary By-election in Permatang Pauh on Tuesday, 26th August, 2008, I could see reports in the mainstream media showing political figures involved in repairing dilapidated houses in some villages, financial contributions to the mosque and surau (musalla) committees being distributed and other imaginable acts of concerns and care by politicians. All these happen during the 10-day campaign period in efforts to woo votes in the constituency. Would this happen if there had been no by-election there ? Is this not CORRUPTION ?
It is time that the Election Commission reviews the rules of the Election to ensure clean and healthy practices.Labels: Politics

Isn't that how it normally works before election time?? The political parties crawl out of the woodwork and start promising the earth on a golden platter!! LOL!! And then when they have your vote, they disappear not to be seen again come next election!!
