For The First Time

On 9 March 2008, for the first time in my life, I woke up feeling hope, not for myself, but for the country. What a feeling! I believe that a lot of people are feeling the same too, smiling from within their hearts, and happy with the 12th General Election results.

The people have spoken! The wind of change has created the biggest tsunami in the Malysian politics which has been dominated by BN for the past 50 years. Enough is enough! The 12th General Election has witnessed the opposition denying BN from a 2/3 majority in the parliament as well as capturing 5 states including Penang, Selangor, Perak, Kelantan and Kedah, with Penang as the biggest shock. Am not going to elaborate further on Malaysian politics and the election here as there are so many better sources out there.

Fo people who are pesimistic and doubtful about the change and the ability of opposition, give an opportunity to the people's choice to prove it. Don't forget, WE, the PEOPLE, are the BOSS. We hire and we fire. If the new government doesn't deliver, we can change it in the next election like what we have just done! For those who couldn't be bothered to register or vote, get the facts right, people is the cause of existence of politics. No people, no goverment, and hence no politics. Whether you like it or not, you are part of the country's politics. At times, bad candidates are voted by good voters who do not vote. Every single vote represents a voice and every single vote counts! Please exercise your right!

8 March 2008 would definitely be a date to remember. It marks the beginning of a new era for Malaysia.

Am really looking forward to a better Malaysia for all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion, and culture! If there is a reason to feel hope, just feel it!
