i think that health condition should be made a pre-requisite by SPR. The existing laws should be modified. Why you ask?
Well, let’s look at the number of reps who died of heart attack. Know why Bukit Gantang and Kuala Terengganu had by-elections?
More recently, Thanenthiran of HINDRAF admitted due to heart problem. Imagine if he was selected by PKR as candidate for Bukit Selambau.
Add to this the alarming statistics being revealed by agencies like Health Ministry – high percentage of obesity, diabetes, blood pressure, heart problems, mental disorder, etc. Less people exercising, less people eating proper food. The numbers are alarming indeed. So, chances are high that you may outlive your elected representative!
Now, is that a good thing? Election means goodies and local economic activities are jump-started.
