This card arrived at my mailbox today addressed to me…

Notice the rubber stamp at the bottom right of the envelope? It reads: Parti Keadilan Rakyat. Yup, it’s election time.

Interesting thing is this… I’ve never been fond of this political party. I have ZERO regards for this party because first of all, the name sucks. Literally translated, it means People’s Justice Party. We have justice in Malaysia. I don’t think Malaysia has any issue with this. I think the whole idea of this party was to just free Anwar Ibrahim from prison. After he was release, the party probably made up some new objectives… I dunno. Maybe someone from PKR might wanna contact me and explain more to me. You have my address. Please feel free to contact me and enlighten me.

Speaking of address, that’s another interesting thing. How the heck did they get my address? I don’t see any Christmas cards from say… MCA.

Of course all this got me thinking… Who sent me this card anyway? Could it be one of my friends have decided to join the party and thought of me over the holiday season?

Hmmm… Honestly, besides Anwar and his wife, the other name (Faizal) don’t actually ring any bell. And afraid I might not be confused enough, there are 3 different locations (branches and address) on the card - Segambut (Anwar’s house), Jalan Tun Sambanthan (that’s in KL) and Kelana Jaya. Are they saying the Kelana Jaya branch office is in KL? So, am I impressed by all this? Well, it did inflate my ego a bit (I don’t think my friends received similar cards). But was it sincere?

Postmarked on 9th January 2008?!? Common la… This is probably left over cards and they probably didn’t want to waste it by throwing it away. It gives bad impression to the party. You expect me to put the country at the hands of people who do not plan ahead?!?
