another election....?

another possible snap election is on the card after our adun at penanti resign recently. while the national media is currently harping on the issue of wasting the money and irresponsible way of betraying rakyat's mandate, i'm just not interested on that.

every election in this country come with the same problem year in year out and that is 'pengundi hantu' and the not-up-to-date electorate list. while this issue is still become the main issue, the absolute solution is still hanging around or maybe no one in that capacity to change just ignoring for any change. of course, as one of the electorate that is not pro the current government, we think that this is their only way to make sure they can win if let say something really bad happen to their majority right now.

i'm sure that many of have the solution to this 'hantu' crisis and me too. for a start, we are boasting all around the globe that we have a more than complete id card. we are telling the world that our card can function just as anything ie: atm card, credit card, licence and whatever la..
our government also coming out with a lot of Es to show that they are now are totally transform into the e-government. paperless here and there and not to mention sometime brainless. they are also drumming to us that are trying to cut all the beurocracy and to simplify everything in our life and our business.

despite all the technologies that we are boasting around, we are still lack behind and the information trickling like forever to reach to us. what in the world we are only boasting while the reality is we still lacking? my opinion is, we, as the citizen of this country have a right to vote. of course we need to exclude the one with mental problem such as mental retarded and schizophrenic. as the citizen of this coutry we are also entitled to the id card that is multi functioning.

why not our election commission have somekind of cooperation with the nrd?
this is the idea: ec, nrd and other relevant agencies have the same citizen data regarding birth, death, illnessess, mental problem, current address etc

1. 1. every citizen with an original id automatically can vote without the need to register as a voter.
2. 2. the id can be use as the pass for vote during election using special scan.
3. 3. a list of ineligible citizen is recognized through cooperation with nrd and other agencies and automatically barred from voting.
4. 4. as a start, voter can vote at the area in their address unless they request to vote at other place.
5. 5. citizen who deceased will automatically deleted from the voters lists without the need to update it.

using this method obviously the work of many agencies can be simplified and centralized. there will no more overlapping or contrasting data between them. no one will harping on the issue of 'hantu' anymore unless there is obvious cheating in the system.

just an idea
