709, a milestone towards a new Malaysia

Finally got connected back. And miraculously fast since my houseleader just got back.
Was back to my hometown, Penang during the weekends and there was this historic 709 Bersih rally going on.

Plucked this from one of the facebook post i saw.

One more thing to remember to do is, register as a voter :)
And also please check whether we are registered as voters at the right district/location here.. Recently there has also been an upgrade to the system where we can add number of voters per an address here.

But i digress, why do we need this upgrade?
Wouldn't this cause even more chaos during election? More space for errors?
Shouldn't we simplify the process instead of allowing users to add an IC to their home address and vice versa.

Imagine house A have 5 people but they never add anyone to the address. Then house B have 3 people but only add 2 people as voters whilst the last person wasn't added.
Now i really wonder why they would want this feature. It seems to add to the complication here.

Well, I guess at the end of the day the people's message are quite clear. They just want a clean and fair election through Bersih 2.0.

Been late. Gotta signoff now.
