If You Vote for LDP, You Shoud Be Ready for More Than LDP + Senai Trip



Votes are still being counted and we by now know that the LDP is going back to power after more than three years. I have never been enthusiastic about the DPJ, but all of us should understand that voting for the LDP means voting for New Komeito, which is really not new in any sense. It stuns me when Mr. Abe calls New Komeito his party’s 「友党」. We must not allow this 「友党」 of the LDP to sneak into power. On what issues do these two parties agree on? They started cooperating in elections several years ago only because the LDP wanted to secure the majority with New Komeito and this religious party wanted to be in power to prepare for its eventual aim of religious takeover of the country.

From the four nights from December 10 to 13, I stayed in Senai, Johor, for my interpretation assignment. A lot food and beer at Johor Premium Outlets, “大上海” at Sutera Mall, “二重丸,” Seafood Market at Danga Bay, a bar with pole dancers at The Zon Duty Free, and the enchantingly rural “藍海湾海鮮村,” etc.
