ELECTION CAMPAIGN<>WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY

Everyone is so busy now. They must be busy thinking who they are going to vote for or helping out with the Candidates in their campaign. I was shocked to hear on the amount of money that would be used by Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya to manage the coming elections. Of course, they would need the fund to manage the elections.
But have you sat and thought at the traffic lights while waiting for your turn, where in the world that the parties campaigning for this election, get their money? You can just see huge banners, posters, flags almost everywhere. To have them, you need to have money. And of course someone need to go and paste or hang them at the designated areas. You will need to pay his salary too. I would wonder where in the world that this group of people get the money? Just imagine allocating similar amount of money to NGO's, Welfare Organizations and desperate poor people who really needs a shelter on top of their heads, or allocating these amount of money to spearhead a child education to the next level. You could do all these wonders but no. Instead it is wasted on campaigning. What a shame!!!. If indeed you have been a good leader and have been serving your people, you dont need all this crap. This is really a shame.
