POLLING DAY
39. Practicing parliamentary democracy is beneficial to the people of this country.
Since its inception, it had managed to create political stability, peace and
prosperity. Through a parliamentary democracy, the existence of a constitutional
monarchy maintains the ruling traditions of the country. The government is
chosen by the people and must win the hearts of the people and not be biased
against minority groups as this would cause the government to lose support in
the future. Individuals need to protect their rights and exercise their right to vote
to determine who rules the country. It is hoped that that all citizens will continue
to cooperate and make it possible for democracy to continue. It is important for
the people to remember that the Constitution exists for each race to co-exist in
harmony and tolerance and if there are any attempts to destroy it, national
security will be threatened. Parliamentary democracy is the cornerstone of
progress and peace in the country and therefore should be supported and
defended.
