They are actually our money. Oppositions do not have access to hand them out so are at a disadvantage. We must therefore vote not based on what we are given - for that can be construed as a bribe - but on past records, on fulfilment of promises made, on enforcing the constitution, the Rukunnegara and the Wawasan 2020. If the government has not delivered then they must be told - via the votes. They are the collective way we tell them to behave and pull up their socks. It is not that we don't want them to win, but victory comes with a responsibility to serve. Don't let arrogance come with another landslide.
