"Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed frequently and for the same reasons"- Robin Williams as Tom Dobbs in the movie Man of the Year.
Once again the country has caught a fever. The election fever of course. From today till Election Day can be described as crucial period whereby politicians would say anything just to woo the voters in giving them the chance to 'prove' themselves once more. They may be incumbents or new faces but let’s just be frank, politicians are politicians. Nothing could change that. No amount of sweet talk can make us forget their somewhat nonintellectual statements that they had issued and controversies that they had triggered before. For those who did, here I bring you a few excerpts from the book "Malaysian Politicians Say the Darndest Things- Amir Muhammad", so that those who are eligible to vote (not me I’m 19) wouldn't give them another chance to humiliate themselves and the people who voted them. For the record, readers are encouraged to spread and share these 'words of wisdom' to others (copy and paste) and by doing so wouldn't breach any copyright issues :), Enjoy.
