Elections and Blogging

Monash Elections are going on this week, i'm an insignificant poll clerk. Aka i get paid (RM5 an hour) to look after the ballots and initiate the voting etc. Havent started my shifts yet though.

Anyway, its not supposed to be about me.

There was campaigning, debating, rebutting and the floor was allowed to ask questions. Too bad i went for lunch with the very newly founded "Laughing Association" when some action took place. There was slandering. One of the... people running for a post Blogs and apparently he/she blogged about a local issue and criticised some people of a particular race in his post.

His/her post was printed and distributed by the people who were unhappy about him/her! And the words he used were highlighted!

I wish i could have witnessed it, being a blogger myself... i have no idea how bad it was, the one who told me about it wasn't very descriptive, so i don't have the details.

But judging from the highlighted words i read, he/she wasn't degrading the whole race, it just so happen that the people he was condemning was of that race and he/she condemned them for failing to help prevent crime (or something of that sort)...

Don't know. Gotta be extra careful, u never know who reads your blog and u never know who would use it against you and when


That aside, i met V, one of my Blogger friends in uni today! I called her out of the blue to get help (friend's car got towed and i remembered reading her blog about cars being towed in Sunway). Thanks girl!

She happened to pass by where i was sitting a minute after that and she called out to me. Great meeting u! I'm usually around there if u wanna come by for a chat =)
