Some Wakil Rakyat are real pricks

I remember a year or so ago Barisan Nasional announced that those who wish to contest the general elections must be internet savvy and must have their own websites, Blogs and so on. BN knows that you need to reach the younger generation to win the election and to reach the younger generation you need to do so through the Internet.

Candidates must be able to use Facebook, says Khairy
(BERNAMA) - Individuals who are multi-skills and are popular among the local community will be selected as Umno Youth candidates in the coming 13th general election, the movement chief, Khairy Jamaluddin said today.
He said the selected candidates would also not necessarily hold high post in the party.
"What is important is that they know their responsibility as elected representatives and someone well-liked by the people.
"They should also be Internet savvy, like able to utilise the social media websites, like Facebook, because that is one of the ways we can get the support from the younger generation," he told reporters after opening a circumcision ceremony here today.
He said this in response to a statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak that Barisan Nasional (BN) would formulate a special mechanism to select candidates for the coming general election.
Khairy also said the BN Youth would continue with its social service programmes to be closer to the people.
"We will focus on providing our service to the people," he added.

Ban Facebook, says Shahidan
(BERNAMA) - Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim today called for the blocking of the Facebook social networking website if its contents continue to pose a threat to national security.
He said a Facebook account holder was found to have taken advantage of the technology to insult Islam and leaders of Malaysia.
"If the website content poses a threat to national security and insults Islam, then it is unnecessary to have Facebook," he told reporters after accompanying Perlis Facebook Association committee members to lodge a report at the Kangar police station on the insults hurled at Prime Minister Seri Najib Tun Razak and former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on a Facebook account.
The report was lodged by the association's deputy president, Mohd Faizuddin Ismail, at about 5.30 pm.
Shahidan said a report would also be lodged at the State Islamic Religious Department as the holder of the Facebook account had also insulted Islam, and added that the insults hurled at Najib and Mahathir were discovered by a member of the association on Nov 29.
Shahidan, who is Tambun Tulang assemblyman, said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Malaysian Islamic Development Department and the National Fatwa Council should act against the holder of the Facebook account.

Qualifications required to become a Wakil Rakyat, says RPK
A chap walks into the party office and says to the receptionist, “I would like to put my name forward to contest the forthcoming elections as a Wakil Rakyat.”
The receptionist replies, “Certainly sir. Please fill in this form. By the way, are you circumcised?”
The chap asks the receptionist, “Why do you ask?”
She replies, “If you are circumcised you are not eligible to become a Wakil Rakyat.”
He asks what difference it would make if he were circumcised or not and she replies, “To become a Wakil Rakyat you have to be a complete prick.”
