For me, if you complain or dissatisfied about political parties planning and not done their jobs well, and you didn't register as a voter this won't change your country that you wanted. Each vote is very useful might change your country. Register as a voter or vote during election didn't used a lot of time because register as a voter in post office used about 30 minutes and vote during election used 1-2 hours only. Use about 3 hours to change your future and your children.

Use your 1 vote for cancel racism issue,
Use your 1 vote for justice to Malaysian,

Use your 1 vote for prevent corruption.

If you are not willing to save your country. Who else can help your country?
