The "Gong" had been sounded!!! Finally Parliament is Dissolved ....

Today at 11.30 AM, RTM had broadcasted live over RTM from the Prime Minister's Office Putrajaya an announcement by the YAB Prime Minister that: 1. he was granted an audience before the Yang DiPertuan Agong and the King had consented to the dissolution of the Parliament effective today; 2. This is where I need verification - the PM said Parliament is dissolved effective " ... hari ini Rabu 3 April 2012 ...". I might heard it wrong anyway; 3. The PM gave his undertaking should there be a change of government after the PRU 13, it would be a peaceful and "tertib" transition; 4. The PM also took the opportunity apart from announcing the dissolution of Parliament to "kick start" the election campaign by promoting the just "dissolved" government of the day by telling that it has "worked hard" for the "rakyat" for the last 5 years; 5. In a spirit of camaraderie and team work he was flanked by the YAB Deputy PM and all his cabinet Ministers which effectively had been "dissolved" and turned into a caretaker government [The process and legality/convention of caretaker government is another matter altogether]; 6. YAB PM also urged all head of State Governments to seek audience with the respective Kings/Tuan Yang DIPertua Negeri to dissolve their respective DUNs so that a simultaneous General Election could be held through out Malaysia. My take on the announcement is ....Except for the error in stating the date - which I am not sure as I was at first listening over the radio and after that over TV - and the "kempen pilihanraya yang tidak sepatutnya" the YAB PM was generally calm in making the announcement and his Deputy was a bit "restless" sometimes ... "tak cukup tidor agaknya" ... So people, the "gong" had been sounded and the war drum had been beaten!!! After this, it's like a juggernaut wheel as it will roll on without stop until the D Day i.e. the voting day. Do exercise your right and vote the candidate of your choice .... Till we meet again .....
