Who's Loco Over Correcting Locality Exercise?

The Election Commission said yesterday it was not “correcting boundaries” but “correcting locality on the ground”.
EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said correction of locality had been a common practice by the electoral body but that the exercise was put on hold, last year.
“Correction of locality means the Electoral Index or names in the electoral roll according to a locality which a voter registered in a polling district on the ground,” he told The Malay Mail.
“I don’t remember saying ‘boundary correction’. We’re not shifting any voters but we want to ensure that locality of the voters is put at the right location on the ground and the correct polling district.”... Malay Mail, 20 Mac 2012

We thought we can have a sigh of relief over the NFC scandal and claimed victory when a lamb was sacrificed because of the lack of cow sense bull$$$$ting that failed to beef up the explanations of where was the beef in all the taxpayer's money drawn down.

Now we are hearing of inventive vote registration terms like, 'correcting boundaries' to correcting locality on the ground.

What the heck does 'correcting locality on the ground' means when my brother who has never been to East Coast and voted for upteen years at Petaling Jaya in the last GE12 had his voting station in Kota Baru?

Is it using some Google map GPS or some bezier curve technique or maybe just toss the name in the air and see where it lands on BolehLand's map?

Noone at this stage could explain how the 'correcting locality on the ground' has shifted his voting venue to over 200 km north?

Or have the shifted the election boundary and delineated his voting constituency all the way up to Kota Baru? Or have someone changed my home address in PJ to Kota Kinabalu... perhaps the city councils wanted to shift some PJ folks to Kota Baru so that the standard of living there is a wee bit higher if upper middle class folks are now staying in Kota Baru huh?

Show me that the EC is clean and not dirty, I'd vote for Barisan huh?

And now they say want to use two colours to make sure noone cheats in the election! Hello you can have rainbow colours painted on all fingers you can still cheat! Just shift folks under the guise of 'correcting locality on the ground' you'd get the 'new voter' being legitimately voting in say over 200 km away and still get his or her fingers painted! So where is the cheating eh?

This EC explanation is on the same level of stink of the cow's flatulent that was emitted at the NFC scandal and real cows too!

Can someone examine those experts who tell us they are of or in the right mind when undertaking their 'correcting locality on the ground'. The explanation really stinks to high heaven...

Perhaps the rural folks will believe the juicy explanation of the EC having the judiciary to undertake the 'correcting locality on the ground' exercise and we voters should not create a fuss and just go vote even if your polling station is located some 200 km away from your locality huh?

Other right thinking ordinary folks have really lost confidence in the integrity of the voters list. Even if one voter got displaced without valid explanation, it's still a crime and since we are a religious nation, a very de 'haram' sinful act and lie eh?

So who's really loco in trying to convince us that they are clean, trustworthy and not cheaters or liars in telling us if your polling station is over 200km away from your original home, it's valid due to the 'correcting locality on the ground' exercise.

Some fellos must really get their head examined over this loco unbelievable explanation?

And don't get us started over one home address having like the population of a village staying in it eh?

Do we really trust the EC's explanations that they are as convincing as those fellows embroiled in the cow-dominium scandal eh?

The EC can explain till the cows come home they are clean, honest and what have you or use two or rainbow colour ink but their integrity is just a load of bull to many of ordinary folks except those from the BN camp we can supposed eh?

Hot Air over Mount Kinabalu

Well congrats to our Mount Kinabalu climbers for setting yet another record, probably the world's first of having the largest inflatable ego...ehh 1Malaysia inflatable logo actually, in Southeast Asia's highest mountain.

K.Ragunathan is certainly a man of perseverance, call him a true BolehLand hero. Lugging all those material up there, and hot air too to inflate it  After all, it's BolehLand and its people are challenged, (directed most times really) to do all kinds of extraordinary feats to show the whole world we have the 'we can' do it spirit in us. Well, at least that is what the original fellow who conceived the idea envisaged it..

The odd thing about this 'Boleh' 'Can Do' spirit is, the Boleh spirit is supposed to make the nation great. Creative ideas than can turn into innovation and can make us rich and looked up as a nation of inventor and creators of things that can sell and people can buy.

So when the great leader asked ordinary folks to have the 'Boleh' spirit, the ordinary folks and kids included showed they have that spirit. So we had the longest ketupat, roti canai, tosai, even the largest yee sang, largest 1Malaysia logo made out of recycle products, or a glass of teh tarik being made at the highest peak, lowest point of Bolehland, driest part, wettest part, youngest group to make a 1Malaysia logo, do a synchronised dance routine, blow the flue, barbeque satay sticks, most number of people (same-same gender don't count) forming the 1Malaysia logo.

Hey if you use toothpicks, used ones that is, to make the highest 1Malaysia logo, you'd be in the hall of BolehLand fame, no?

Where is the innovation of the BolehLand spirit? Today, there are those who still defend their right to rights and privileges. So what is the BolehLand spirit supposed to be huh? Doing all those non productive things to get into the MGBOR - Malaysian Guinness Book of Records huh?

Or for that matter 1Malaysia logo and concept when we feel even more divided and put on a tourist show we are all one family when after the festivity, we are reminded who is given billions in business loans, government contracts, taxi licence, scholarships, even homes!

So our Malaysia Boleh and 1Malaysia concept, logo and what not, you get all kinds of superhuman feats with very very minimal translated into making this nation a people (well not all), who can't stand on their own two feet but feel proud to defend their rights to have handouts. More form than substance are being encouraged to boost the ego of the inventor of the tagline or the logo, right?

Bet this must be the largest inflatable ego..eh logo in the world at such a height and high elevation!

It clearly shows that BolehLand folks have lots of ingenious ideas. This Malaysia Boleh spirit has created lots of firsts. Check out the Malaysia Guinness Book of Records and you will be amazed by the creativity of BolehLand folks.

<--One man's many small steps up, One Big Ego Leap for 1Malaysia
Our heroes must surely be proud to have made someone real proud too! This perhaps have dispel the accusation by many pessimists that ordinary folks don't know what the heck this 1Malaysia concept is all about.

This big hot air logo in Mount Kinabalu proves 1Malaysia concept is not all hot air as many think now eh?

Look at this magnificent inflated ego..ehm logo that is, standing so stall up there in the cold atmosphere. All alone except for the hero. So high up noone can see it except only the creator. And since it's so high up in the clouds it becomes very blur most times because of the mist.

The only thing that keeps this 1 big inflatable logo standing tall is you need lots and lots of hot air. When all the hot air gets cold, it becomes limp.

It can't stand on its own really. It needs people to blow hot air in it to keep it afloat.

It will fall flat if you left it alone! And the only permanent record it leaves it was a great feat or looking logo is it found its way into Facebook, the media and of course blogs, like yours truly.

Well at least this feat showed that there are some who believe in the concept.

Definitely this feat will spur others to do a repeat, at Mt Everest? or even under the deepest ocean, what about the North and South Pole! Or a 1Malaysia Hot Air Balloon at next year's Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (ie if 1Malaysia survives GE13?)?

Now there is truth when the one who conceived of this idea also advocated it to the world leaders that 1Malaysia is truly a 22nd century wonder that will become a universal 1World concept where the world will live in peace and harmony and that everyone's rights is preserved (Is that what 1Malaysia is all about?) And the world world will live in harmony with each other. But with two proviso in the fine print. The first, under 1World the administrator is UMNO and as long as you don't touch Islam then you can have your peace, unity and what have you, huh?

Pray, our brave climber is a civic one and not behave like many recalcitrant climbers who forgot to take down their stuff and leave it up there to become a pile of trash and pollute the mountain! hah!
