a p.j. state of mind.

i love petaling jaya. amongst the things that i love about it:

1. a good majority of its girls speak proper english and have proper diction.
2. they look good, too.
   
3. its drivers are intolerably considerate.
4. a good mamak is always nearby.
5. 1 utama.
6. most of my friends stay around there.
7. murni's, ming tien and my favourite bootlegged dvd joint.
8. 3 out of 5 of my exes were pj based.
   
9. it's just so nice, green and suburban.

the last few months have brought about controversy for the municipal council of petaling jaya. it was revealed that there was a massive black hole in its accounts two years ago, and it's taxed its ratepayers at least 40% more this year than previous years.

as the township becomes a full-fledged city on June 20th, there is a high chance that datuk ahmad termizi puteh, the current president of the municipal council, will be the city's first mayor.

this won't do. the municipal council has come under fire for not doing its job: providing for its ratepayers and citizens. imagine what would happen if it became a city board? raised expectations with even more lowered results.

we want to see playgrounds repaired for our children to play on.

we want to see roads paved for painless commuting.

we want to see our parks restored --- we want more green.

petaling jaya is a beautiful place, definitely befitting of a city. but so much more can be done to improve it, and the incumbent administration is only hindering its development. it's primary interest is in deepening the pockets of the powers that be. it's quite obvious. the people have been shortchanged and cheated; there's this risk that this will continue for years to come.

-------------------------------------------

there's a way out of this.

let me be mayor.

i'll be the ears of the people. i'll be the voice of the people.

i'll make you love me, p.j...because i love you.

granted, i don't stay in petaling jaya. but what it needs is a fresh face. an outsider who loves it for what it is, but who can look at things objectively without letting emotions get in the way. i will work for the city's betterment.

my mandate is clear: i want petaling jaya to prosper and grow consistently, as its always done under the people --- not the council. i can't bring anything new to the table. but i will bring youth, vigour and virility.

petaling jaya doesn't need impotent steeds. it needs thoroughbred studs.

i am that thoroughbred stud that it needs.

petaling jaya is its people. the people who've worked hard. the man and woman on the street. it's home to a diversity of different cultures. petaling jaya is malaysia.
