She's a winner!

For me this senior is a winner already! I am not Malaysian but she would have gotten my vote for even trying and going on the Internet and learning all this new stuff. She's great and I hope next time around more older as well as younger people will take the iniative in making politics more dynamic for all people.

I am shocked

This is some kind of news mate. An 89 year old grandmother having a blog and a facebook account. WOW!

I guess it's not only for the young but also for the senior citizen too.

Anyway, well done grandma for keeping up with the latest mean of communication.

by the way, did she win the election? Just curious.

Cheers!

Official Result

Unfortunately she lost in last weekend's March 8 2008 election. She was running for Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat as independent (IND) candidate. Below is the official result:

Grandma Maimun Yusuf (IND) --- 685 votes.
Razali Ismail (BN) --- 32,582 votes.
Mohamad Sabu (PAS) --- 31,934 votes

Hope to see her again in next election with more online campaigns!

Grandmother Goes Online

I am glad someone has found a use for Facebook. I don't see any benefit to having an account. I have an account and it really has done nothing for me.
