To vote or not to vote in GE14.

Was reading a number of views on my timeline about six or seven youths saying they may not vote in the next general elections because they're not impressed with either side.

And in that very long article that featured these youths, my friend Ibrahim Suffian was quoted as saying that his polling outfit believes that demographic will have a lower turnout, perhaps by up to 8pct.

Some of the arguments made sense, others didn't. The reality is Malaysians have to register to vote. If you have gone through that, why then bother not to vote?

Yes, you can spoil your vote by even ticking both or more candidates. You can tear up your ballot paper too. But this voting right is precious, no? Only citizens get to vote in any country, so why diss the very notion of it because you're unhappy with both or all sides? You think they care?

A good example is Brexit.

The young who gained and will gain more from a UK in the European Union did not go out to vote in large numbers. The ones who felt disadvantaged by the influx of immigrants, migrants and such voted to exit. And came out to exercise their right and won the referendum. What use was the laments and anguish post-Brexit referendum?

The same in the United States presidential elections. Yes, Hillary Clinton won an extra 3 million votes but Donald Trump won because he got the votes in the right states for the Electoral College to elect him as US President. The Democrats didn't get enough voters out in the states with sizeable votes to tip it for her. Again, not enough votes.

Then again, it is just six or seven voices dithering over whether to vote, so what's the big deal right? They don't matter in the course of events because others will vote. These six or seven probably have an exit plan if the country goes pear-shaped in the near future too.

But not the other voters or citizens. They are here, some are informed and will make an informed choice, others will just make their choice based on whoever promises a better deal.

It is as easy as that. And these voters, who might not have an exit plan from Malaysia, will enjoy or suffer the consequences of their vote, just as those who didn't vote.

Here's the thing though. The possibility of 8pct of youths that includes first-time voters not casting their ballots can skew election results and provide Malaysia with a government decided by others with a different world view.

A world view that will not consider the views of the young, who have abandoned their right to vote. What kind of world is that, especially when the current system has enough political geriatrics and dotards, to borrow Kim Jong-un's phrase.

You want to be ruled by the same old, same old? You want to skip your responsibility of shaping your future and the nation's too? If that is the case, you deserve it.

This country belongs to the future, to the young, to those with ideas and philosophies that will make a better Malaysia - not the old, the decrepit, the conservatives and one-track minds.

But that can only happen if we educate the politicians and tell them what we want from them, not just their promises. It sounds idealistic but there it is.

You have to tell them what you want and scold them for what they are doing wrong. You have to let them know your support hinges on that.

You want a conservative country, tell them. You want a liberal country, tell them. At the end of the day, any nation is shaped by the majority, not the minority and definitely not by those who didn't cast their ballots.

Just a footnote, there are friends who occasionally express the desire to leave Malaysia but stop short of it. Because they know they can but they worry about those who cannot.

And this is their tanahair. They will go on to make sure it is the Malaysia that our founding fathers promised it to be. I don't worry if the founding fathers will be heartbroken if this isn't that Malaysia.

But I care enough that Malaysia does not break our hearts and become a nation divided by class, race and religion. And then by youths who decide that the options available isn't good enough for them.

Voting isn't a product available online at special price if you use Paypal or a credit card.

Voting is a right our founding fathers got for all of us when Malaya became independent and later when Malaysia was formed.

Use it. Or lose the right to shape your country's future.

Thank you King Ly Chee, thank you Riz! And I'm proud to be one of the KLC family.

我中文真係唔夠好...十分抱歉...

The band has been taking a break since January of this year to figure out where we are emotionally and within the various stages of our lives. Making a commitment to a band like this (and a person like me) has not been easy and will never be easy - you can ask anyone in the photo here about their experiences both within and outside the band.

Either way...when we all look back at this and what we were all able to accomplish together - all these faces in this photo (and the ones who aren't here Mike, Gaeon, Wing, G, Fei Hin who kept the band going in dire times) took a little dream that I had when I started in 1999 and made it their own.

At 22 years old I came back to Hong Kong wanting to do something to help Hong Kong's underground community, who knew it would turn into what it did :-)

There are so many memories come flooding back...I still remember the day King Ly Chee joined a music festival in Tuen Mun (Gold Coast) in the summer of '99 and at the same competition a death metal band got on stage to compete. After they finished I ran to go say hello to them because I was so happy to hear extreme music in Hong Kong! They turned out to be Departing Cross...that guitar player Chai became a great friend of mine later. The drummer who would join them later (Man) would also become a member of King Ly Chee many MANY years later. I remember having the same response when I went to a show at the Warehouse in 1999 and saw a band called Hyponic get on stage and play doom metal and how happy I was to meet Roy and his wife Anita. They later even helped me translate MANY of the articles that were in my zine called 由零開始 Start From Scratch, as did Sammy of Lam Kei, and so many other friends. I remember touring China in 2000 for the first time and we stayed at Wu Wei (singer of SMZB)'s house with his mom, I remember traveling by train from Wuhan to Beijing for the first time and arriving in Beijing Train Station while the snow was falling around us, I remember getting on stage with Reflector-Brain Failure that night and becoming lifelong friends, I remember the next day Xiao Rong of Brain Failure took me to Scream Records to try to get the label to release our album "We Are Who We Are" in China, I remember putting my arms around Stephane and Alex as they cried on the plane leaving Korea after we played 6 shows in 3 days in Seoul in 2000, I remember getting my daily 4pm phonecalls from Kevin when he joined King Ly Chee, he would call every single day for the first year exactly at 4pm on his way to work at a tattoo shop and we'd talk about whatever like only brothers did, I remember Andy-Alex-Kevin and I recording "Stand Strong" until 5am every day and then going home for one hour then getting changed and going to our jobs, I remember touring Southeast Asia for the first time and meeting so many great people who are still good friends today, I remember touring Europe in 2006 in the fucking cold with Ming-Andy-Alex-Pong and dying cause it was so cold, I remember how on the way back from Europe while we were at the Dubai airport Alex told us that he had decided to leave and my heart broke into a million pieces because never in my life would i have ever thought he would leave the band, i remember after that andy and pong were like "don't worry - we'll keep the band going with you", i remember so many people saying that to me every time something happened - like Mike, Gaeon and Wing who sprung into action and helped the band continue somehow someway, i remember going on tour with NOFX and even though Fat Mike didn't like anything that was too metal sounding - El Hefe and Smelly always came to watch us play every night and they always said "man your guitar always sounds so HEAVY! i love it!", i remember receiving a random message from some guy named Brian who was living in australia and played in a nu-metal band, i remember many months later receiving his band's CD, i also remember later he sent me tracks of some really progressive metal songs that he had written, i remember that around this time the next heartbreak happened when andy decided he couldn't continue either, many months later that random ICQ (or was it MSN?) friend Brian was in king ly chee, i remember touring the philippines and after the last show of the tour we all stayed out with our Filipino brothers until the next morning talking - laughing, how about the time that i picked up my ultimate heroes from the airport in hong kong - the band that GOT me into hardcore back in '94 - mother fucking sick of it all!, holy shit...not only was i picking them up but i was the one organizing their first ever show in hong kong...holy fuck...

Memories like this can go on and on...because there are COUNTLESS stories like this to be told and shared with all of you...maybe one day there may be a book made :-)

For now...I want to first and foremost thank EVERY single person who has ever joined King Ly Chee for believing in me, believing in the band, believing in the purpose of the band, believing in the message...I know that some of these guys left the band not on good terms - but as my brother Kevin once said "Man - time heals everything" - I do hope that as time passes that every single one of these guys (and girl - we did have a girl vocalist for a year :-) will always remember their time in this band and the great things that we accomplished together.

Thank you everyone for giving us your hearts, believing in the band anytime in our 17 year existence...whether you were a fan of the Stephane-Ian lineup or the Stephane-Alex lineup or the Alex-Andy-Kevin lineup or the Alex-Andy-Pong-Ming lineup or the Andy-Pong-G lineup or the G-Brian-Pong-Man lineup or the Kent-Egas-Brian-Ho lineup or the Kent-Egas-Joe-Brian lineup or the Joe-Ivan-Brian-Ho lineup...whichever lineup you fell in love with - i can tell you from the bottom of my heart EVERY member gave 150% of their heart and soul to this band, to creating the music you heard, to playing those shows that you saw, to touring all over the world...

To this I live in eternal gratitude to these amazing individuals.

Lastly, thank you to every one of you all over this world who has supported the band. Thank you for your kindness, for your generosity, for your graciousness, for your heart...thank you for believing in this band.

I have about 13 demo songs that I had written this past year or so for a future King Ly Chee release - but now I guess I'll just put those online as a heartfelt thank you.

For one last time...
我 － 地 － 係 － KING － LY － CHEE

1999-2017.

We've lost count of the challenges everyone has faced in 2020 that has cast darkness on many people's lives. Besides the very real struggles in our day-to-day life, we know there are also fears and mind games that can be hard to shake off.

But the truth is, in the midst of the darkness, Jesus' light is right here and it shines even brighter. ✨ As His light pierces through every bit of darkness, it brings His life and love into the situation and into your heart. And in all of this, we have an unshakable hope that God loves us and is working everything together for our good (see Rom. 8:28).

We want to encourage you to look around for those who are surrounded by darkness and in search of hope. During this time when we can do so many things unhindered by time and space (such as watching service online!), why not invite a friend or someone you cross paths with to attend a service or church gathering online?

This Christmas season, be bold, reach out and gift a friend/loved one/colleague/neighbor a personal encounter with the Light of the world who came to bring joy, love, and peace. You never know, they might just receive a rhema word for their situation or have the encounter with Jesus that they need right now! ?

We are praying and believing with you that even as you gather the courage to share Jesus with your friends, their hearts will be open and softened to receive Him. ❤️

A video very close to our hearts that I'm finally ready and able to share. Over the course of the first half of the year, a lot of preparations have gone into the details of our wedding. All thanks to our amazing planner, Clare from Bliss Pact and stylist, Phillane from Med Karlek, everything came together so perfectly.

So here it is, a closer look into that very magical night that we celebrated with our family and friends.
It is a real blessing for us to share this with you guys - my dear online family. We hope that you enjoy re-living these special moments with us. Our marriage and wedding was such a beautiful dream come true. We hope it pushes you believe in true love. Thank you for your continued love and support!
