For our beloved country Malaysia.

謝謝我的詩人好友王濤記得我即將飛回瑞士的回程日期並致電給我鼓勵並獻上他誠摯的祝福。

This week is already my 8th week back to Malaysia. I am counting my time to fly back to Switzerland as scheduled. Nevertheless, I still intend to fly back to cast my vote in person in Malaysia when election is called.

In the evening two days ago i felt tired thinking of the hours sitting in the plane as well as the hours waiting at the transit airport. I wonder how exhausted my body would be when i fly back again. I say to myself: Yes, some people may not be able to understand why i am so stubborn and i see my single vote is such a big matter, even i myself also think i am silly as the airfare is really not cheap, i will still insist to do it: Fly back to cast my vote in person in Malaysia. Not for anyone, but to be responsible to my own conscience and my own heart: I want Malaysia and my fellow Malaysians to live in a clean, safe and green land that they have long deserved.

Few days ago, my German husband and i spoke over Skype. He has to fly to New York on the 3rd week of April whilst our house is expecting a French exchange student and thus our house would need an adult to take care of the French teenager. We have to discuss the plan due to the possibility of me flying back to Malaysia on short notice when election is announced.

Yes, i am one of many Malaysians whose life have been putting on hold for the upcoming election that has yet to to be announced.

Still, we must be patient and stay calm because we aspire to have our country Malaysia to go through a legal and peaceful transition of Change which is in the coming general election.

I miss my husband. I have not been away from him for these long since our marriage. Also, thinking of the inconvenience of not knowing when is the time i have to fly back again whilst it is a fact that i have a life to conduct in a foreign land, i tell myself: INI Kalilah! The upcoming general election is the only time i must be persistent to vote for the sake of my home country.

王濤:  

 如果你有感动,请协助传分享——
(我的朋友离开丈夫,从瑞士回国已2个月,却等候不到宣布解散国会进行大选,后天就要飞回雪山之国;感到很无奈,但是她说,她一定将再飞回来,回来投票, 亲自投下自己的民主一票,虽然需要花费许多金钱、精神和时间,她希望我们国家走上真正的民主,建立健全的民主体系——她告诉我,她不愿欺骗自己的生命和信 念!朋友,如果你放弃了最基本的投票权,未来岁月,你如何向自己交代?——向这位爱国女性致敬!用我写的诗,共勉励。)

致母亲马来西亚
——第十二届全国大选

/ 王涛
今天,母亲,您要比昨天更漂亮
三月春雨刚刚降落,母亲
我们挂起了心房的明灯
尽管脚下道路崎岖
飘摇风雨雷吼......
母亲,我们醒来了
我们本来就是这大地的主人
拥有民主的投票权利
MAKKAL SHAKTI人民的力量
因为爱您,母亲
——团结!我们拨散烟霾
大地是那么美好
蓝天白云——
听,我们真挚的诉求
高歌飘扬风中
母亲,您一直都是最漂亮的
50岁的您,母亲
您的智慧教导我们
要诚恳、勤奋、
要相亲相爱
贯彻民主......
在这地球,母亲
我们充满和乐 自信
我们都是您爱护的孩子
我们叫马来西亚人
活着,明天有希望
今天,母亲,您让我们感到漂亮。
谢谢妈妈!
