Too risky to vote for PR?


Since I started to get more active in politics, many people around me start asking me many questions and one of the most interesting one is this: "isn't it too risky to vote for Pakatan Rakyat (PR) to Putrajaya?" 

Why is it interesting? Because risk, unlike what everyone perceives, is not an adjective to trained engineers like me. When it comes to risk, we want to know how much risk? When it comes to making a decision that associated with risk, we want to know which option offers a lower risk. There is one exercise, like it or not, that engineers always have to do before running any operation called Risk Assessment Analysis. In this assessment, we define and quantify risk. 


 Risk = severity of a particular hazard  x likelihood of this happen

Entering into Politics - The Story Behind


"Why are you involved in politics?" I think this is the question my family members, friends, and many others will ask. 

It's a long story. I am writing this story today to make sure that, if ever, I forget what am I in politics for, it will serve as a reminder. 

投入政坛背后的故事

“为什么你参与政治?”这是家人朋友与其它身边人所问的问题。

说来话长,今天我撰写这故事,也是作为一旦我忘了参政的原因的一个提醒。
