Vox Poppuli Vox Dei

The Voice of People is the Voice of God goes the saying of the title. Living in a country which its 20 millions citizens went to vote for the new president on 5th July made me feel excited and anxious on that day. Excited, cos it was my first time. We vote every 5 years and 5 years ago I hadn't reached 17 yet so I couldn't vote. Anxious...cos I really want the future president brings a bright future for this country, the people are so tired of living in poverty, collusion, corruption and nepotism in the goverment, and conflicts. Yes, I'm worried that the future president will lead this country to another disaster again. I'm sick of conflicts, I'm sick of racism. There are rumours everywhere about the nominees and you know you have to be wise in this. I'm a minority in here, but that doesn't mean that I'm being ignorant. No, I'm not. I always want the best for this country. Being a minority makes you want to protect yourself and you become very careful in choosing the new president. Somehow, deep inside your heart, you don't want to be hated, you don't want the riot on May 1998 to happen again. It's a natural thing for human to choose something that will bring the benefit for her/himself. The time for choosing the new president is like a gambling game. You may never know the result until the dice stops spinning. You look, and you wait, and from the moment you see the result, you'll never stop hoping for the good things. Will everything be okay? Will we live in prosperity like the way we used to be? The life of 20 millions people in the hand of one person. Whoever you are oh our president, may you're blessed by God, may you'll be the one chosen by God for us. Whoever you are, you better make it good.
