Perceptions can be deceiving. We must ask smart questions about the program and the area of study.

Path to Democracy

GE13,
It has been the dirtiest general election in history.
Blatant gerrymandering, voting fraud and so on,
It is way too outrageous and dirtier than what we can imagine.

I stayed up late that night and so did others, we kept our eyes on the news and statistics promulgated by EC or whatever sources on the web. Having the same goal, we yearn to change our recent government. But the results announced were what we had expected, the national front swept most of the rural areas' parliamentary seats.

I am really disappointed with the outcomes, especially the one in my living state which is actually due to gerrymandering. We are furious at what the national front had done, sense of justice keeps growing which indirectly makes my aspiration of being a forensic scientist stronger. But what was encouraging is that PR coalition had successfully won majority of the parliamentary seats in urban areas, albeit unfair in demarcation of constituencies.

Although we couldn't overthrow the so-called dictatorial government that day, we are now one step closer to democracy. So, I would say, KEEP GOING, we should save democracy from being on the verge of dying. We are already halfway there!

Keep on striving,
DOn't quIT.

We all hope for a better nation.
May God bless our beloved country.

Pray for our nation.
