加影补选 kajang by-election

Malaysiakini Picture

 我住在加影（Kajang），它现在成为了全国的焦点。

随着执政的公正党加影州议员李景杰向州议会呈辞后，随着来到州议席补选，将是一场风云之战，因为这不只是一个地方性的选举。

这是有点出乎意料的政局发展，包括民联（由公正党、伊斯兰党及民主行动党组成的联合阵线）的成员党也有点错愕。

随着公正党实权领袖安华宣布将会在加影上阵后，国阵（国家执政联盟）领袖就不停的攻击这项决定。

“安华不能圆他的首相之梦，以补选来谋取雪州州务大臣职位。。”
“以补选来解决内部问题，劳民伤财。。”

部分民众也发出不满的声音：

“玩弄政治”
“浪费金钱”
“无聊。。”

很多朋友问我：“你们就好了，补选又有甜头了”；“你怎样看？”；“谁会赢？”

加影补选，对加影来说，不会有什么改变。我不期望看到新铺的道路、新街灯、惊人的发展宣布；反之，将会是一个崭新的政局的出现，影响到整个州及国家。

加影补选，除了政党内斗、谁代表谁、胜负的课题之外，对我来说，更重要的是：505大选过后，到今天为止，我们的国家有更好吗？我们的生活更自由、安全、舒适吗？公义及社会秩序有改善吗？我们看到更光明的前途吗？

不管造成这次的补选的原因是什么，我非常高兴的接受这次补选，也很感恩的能够有这么的一个机会，让我们做个检讨，再次的表达我（们）的心意/心声。

这场补选，是及时雨-小雨来的正是时候！

我相信，在竞选活动正式开始后，补选将不再是加影有什么发展、加影要什么、加影将成为什么。“国家”将取代“加影”。

今天，选举委员会正式宣布，加影州议席的提名日落在三月十一日，而投票则是三月二十三日。这是一个很长的准备及竞选期。

选举委员会是独立的，但人们都知道它已经成为了执政者的工具。这么长的准备期，大家都心知肚明，一定是别有居心。

同一天，副首相也宣布，国内的十三条收费大道（大盗），今年过路费将不会涨价（早前政府已经表明一定要起价） 。。。多么爱民的决策！

立竿见影，加影补选，不再是“沙爹小镇”的事！

I live in Kajang, and it is the focal point of the nation right now.

Following the resignation of PKR (Party Keadilan Rakyat) Kajang state assemblyman Lee Jing Jie, a by-election is ensured and it will be a Battle of Thunder and Storm.

This is a surprise political development of the country, even Pakatan Rakyat (People's Coalition formed by PKR, PAS and DAP) partners were caught off guard!

Following the announcement that PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim is standing for the seat, ruling Barisan National Coalition has begun attacking his move。

" Anwar sees no hope of becoming a prime minister, so going for state chief ministership.."
"Using by-election to settle his party's infighting.."

Other voices :" waste of taxpayer's money"; "politicking.."

Many friends called me up to ask : " what do you think..."; "who will win".

The by-election has little effect on the lives of Kajangites. I do not expect many new roads to be tarred, more street lights be erected, big development project to be announced ... but it will present a new political scenario to the state and nation.

For whatever reason this by-election is called for, I am happy with it. It gives us another opportunity to reflect and examine the current state of affair of our state and nation, and allow our voices our opinions to be heard once more.

Since May 2013 (505) 13th general election, is our country getting better, safer? our lives more comfortable? is social justice and peace being advanced? is our freedom of speech, religion and movement more secured?

It is timely !

I believed when campaigning starts, the issues are no more limited to state and town affairs, but national issues will be hogging the limelight.  The word "Kajang" would be replaced with "nation".

Today, the Election Commision (EC) announced that Kajang by-election's nomination day falls on March 11 and polling day on Mach 23. It is a very long preparation period.

EC is an independent body answerable to the King but is widely known to be the tool of ruling BN coalition government.

Also announced today by the Deputy Prime Minister that fee on 13 tolled roads would not be increased. Earlier, government already expressed its support for a toll hike.

It is obvious that the timing of the announcement has got to do with the by-election.

By-election is not longer a matter of the "small Satey town".
