Mr. Muventen....spoiler or hero ?



We have heard of this coming GE13 bringing out the most number of "Independent" candidates vying for a position of power and for some instant riches. Yes, I have heard of oppurtunists and bona-fide meceneries who'd submit their nominations and wait. Wait for some politicians or political parties to "make them an offer" to withdraw from the election but with a price tag. 

Others will just lose their deposit if they are plain duds not comanding any threat to the incumbent or the opposition or not good enough to be bought out or coerced from leaving. Yet others just want to get a feel of what this once-in-5-years drama in politics is all about and go in ( even if they risked  losing their deposit !) just for the "heck of it" !  I have always wondered what evil plans these "Independents" hatch in their puny heads to make a claim for the political position which will also automatically favour them as in YB status (Yang Berhormat/Your Honour or Yang Berpundek/ no translation needed ) to their names in an instant.

One such man is this Mr. Muventen. Notice he has no surname-so emphasis is on Mr. !!! What can I call this young man from a sleepy hollow like Tanjong Sepat ? An idiotic  spoiler,  a pain in the ass, an oppurtunist  or a true saviour who will  serve his people and constituency and go on to become a local hero or legend ? But, hey, wait a minute......Tanjong Sepat is already famous for its murdering lawyers as in the Susilawati case right ?

You read this young man's manifesto ( if I may call it that ) and see if he's worth your time to vote for him. I like his "to-do" list.....but not the VOTE FOR ME thinggy or his party logo of a pen ! Don't this EC mutts know nobody uses a fountain pen anymore....we just "touch" the screen of our  i-pads with our fingers, duh !  

Can the big boys/players in PR and BN do any better ???
Remember you were introduced to this virtually "unknown" man without a surname, here first.
The picture at the end of the manifesto is Mr. Muventen's campaign manager, Harjit Singh. 

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR DUN N.54 TANJONG SEPAT
 
Vote for me and I will make sure all those empty promises are realized. My list of priorities and  objective as an elected Adun of N.54 Tanjong Sepat  will be;

1. Within 100 days as a sworn-in Adun I solemnly promise to create  a dialysis centre right here in Tanjong Sepat. There are many kidney patients who live in Tanjong Sepat and have no access to such clinics or centres for their  dialysis treatment. And these are ordinary people with no mode of own  transport but to take public transport. I will further ensure that this centre will only charge a minimal fee of RM1ringgit for each treatment and visit. Right now the people of Tanjong Sepat have to make a long and arduous journey to  Banting to first, make an appointment for a later date and then come back again for the treatment and each treatment costs an entire months’ salary for some.

VOTE FOR ME !

2. A bigger majority of  our people in this town do not own motor cars and  have to put up with an almost non-existent  public transport service. I will pressure the government to provide proper bus service and at regular times. I will create bus stops at every interval with a roof and seats for you as you wait for the buses.  

VOTE FOR ME !

3. Tanjong Sepat does not have a library. Of course the schools have their own libraries but for the adults, where do they go to nurture their thirst for knowledge ? With a growing population each town must have a well stocked library. Therein  the knowledge men and women of Tanjong Sepat can spend hours in their free time  to enlighten themselves with  knowledge. I as Dun N.54 will create a town of learned and enriched citizens.

 VOTE FOR ME !

4.Knowledge is power and as such  institutions of learning must be available to our children without  having to travel for miles to one. As it is, we have no tuition centres in Tanjong Sepat. I, Muventen, when elected as Dun N.54 sincerely promise the people of Tanjong Sepat  that I will build one such tuition centre right here for our children and to even subsidise to poor and deserving children with my own Adun allowance  for tuition fees.

 VOTE FOR ME !

5. Traffic  on our roads are heavy and accidents are bound to happen. What if your child is involved in an accident while crossing the road  to and fro from school daily ?  So I  will give every school going child a Personal Accident Cover even before I am elected as your  Adun.

 VOTE FOR ME !

6. I will ensure the welfare and livelihood of each and every pig farmer and fisherman is never interrupted and I will protect and fight for your right to make a decent living for you and your families. That I pledge solemnly.

VOTE FOR ME !

7. I will as Adun N.54 Tanjong Sepat speak on behalf of all the people of Tanjong Sepat regardless of race or religious backgrounds. I will not make any promise I cannot keep, like what you fellow people of Tanjong Sepat have been led to believe all these years from those politicians from both BN and PR. I will call on those politicians and demand to know of all those promises that they never fulfilled and lies  that have brought us to this state of frustration.

VOTE FOR ME !

 VOTE FOR ME as I, Muventen, am one of you. I was born and raised here amongst you. I am your “kampong” boy who went to school here in Tanjong Sepat and understand every problem or short fall in our town. Together we will seek to address all the above 7 “mandatory” promise and obligation I WILL fulfill if you elect me as Dun N.54 Tanjong Sepat.

 

Vote wisely !

This guy in his honest to goodness self appears to be sincere and a bit of the 'mgr' or 'rajini' type.
A simple guy with a simple mind.He must be an insurance agent or in that line.
Talking about coverage for every child before his is elected.He must 'own' an insurance co or has the ablity to hack into the database of a co and insert all the childrens names as 'covered'.
Anyway, I wish him all the best and he must promise he must not get drunk early in the morning and grow his beard as 'our' isa detainee and sing 'awal parentu ponenal eh' on his 'daze abouts' after the elections results are in.
