A motion of no confidence

To have a motion of no confidence called against anyone is a very serious matter. It shows that people are unhappy and they want change. When such a motion is proposed, it usually means that the incumbent - be it a person or a committee - refuses to step down.

About 10 days ago, an emergency meeting was held by the Rukun Tetangga in my housing area. The proponents of this motion was to force the incumbent RT chairman out. It was alleged that the chairman was not doing his job properly and was appointing people into the committee at his whim and fancy.

Of course, the meeting proceeded with the incumbent chairman absent. I didn't expect him to be present. He wouldn't have a leg to stand on. When it came to the vote, it was a unanimous decision. The residents wanted him out and they got him out. And at the same meeting, a new committee was voted it.

It was fun. Imagine, my third time voting this year. Ha ha!!
