When you say politician you meants minister, exco or assemblymen?

All these have different. And if minister and exco you have your own portfolio so you can only concentreate on your portfolio.

Assemblymen mostly you only got choice to see what project you can do in your area. Not much on policy you can do. You would have to handle complaints by your constituency, do event and give out contribution to school, ngo (yearly got budget so you have to know how to manage your finance well). When you give contribution liao they will invite you so you have to give speech. Then need to do walkabout and program... then if got disaster such as fire, flood or anything then you have to go on the ground to arrange shelter all this, liasing with with oejabat daerah and jabatan kebajikan. After that if they really poor eh then you have to see if you want to contribute abit of fund to help out the repair or not.

If you choose pkr then you will definitely need connection. Even now at their branch election votes buying still play a very big part and the amount is not small amount. PKR if you are branch chairman then chances of you getting selected to be a candidate will be higher, but of course connection and which camp you support plays a big role in every parties is important as well.

Definitely not simple management. Imagine reporters and opposition is waiting for you to make 1 mistake so that they can find a way to make it into news. Everything you say and do you need think throughly.

And as for your constituent voters, they ask you to do things that you know is not right but you don’t do then they will harass you and spin it into racial issue making people hate you.

You have to remember, everyone want a new Malaysia but then no one is willing to change their mentality. Even a simple parking fine for parking illegally they would say “i park my car here everytime for so many years and never got saman, now we voted for you and this is how you treat us?” . Imagine all the cases that in legal wise they are wrong and everyone would use the same excuses trying to force politician to bend the rules so that they can get away. Thats the malaysia baru people wanted, they get away with law when they broke it.

Remember beside need to pleased your voters, you need to please your branch members, so you will have alot of opportunist trying to gain benefits or money and you need to find a way to reject them.
