One of the best letter to Malaysiakini that I’ve ever read.
After reading how fast and effective the BN government was for the Machap and Ijok by-elections in suddenly approving millions of ringgit (of our taxpayers’ money) to fill up every pothole and fulfilling every wish of the voters in those by-elections, I now am envious of the folks in Machap and Ijok.
My present MP, after the last general election, has not been seen or heard of ever since. Given a choice, I would rather prefer a dead but effective MP rather one who is alive but ineffective.
At least, I don’t have to drive through faulty traffic lights and potholes along my way to and from work everyday.
So, come the next general election, if there is a candidate in my constituent who dares declare that he or she will resign after winning the election, I will definitely be voting for you.
At least, we will have a by-election whereby our hard-earned money will be wisely spent on us, rather than on self-serving MPs.
Bearing the name Long Suffering Voter, you’ve got to give the author some credits for braving his/her long term suffering and produce such a brilliant idea for the sake of rakyat rather than dying in vain.
Thank you Long Suffering Voter, I hope local politicians can be as creative as you, as well as some balls to take up your proposal.

Vote for MP or SA who resign is a great idea, BUT MP or SA who resign cannot stand for election within certain time from resignation. (check Federal Constitution)
So, in our dreams that MP or SA will resign so that VOTERS can enjoy the goodies (bribes) of by-election.
Vote for change in the next GE and claim the real goodies.
This is putting the issues most important to our hearts in the correct perspective! :)
Like Long Suffering Voter, I have never seen my MP or State Assemblyman since the elections. You can bet that I won’t be voting for them again.
Without malice or prejudice, may they die!
