Makkal Sakhti (People Power)

History was created in Malaysia over the last few hours.





For the first time since independence, the ruling coalition of Barisan Nasional has been denied a two-third majority. The alternative parties of DAP, Keadilan and PAS have taken over as the ruling state governments of Penang, Perak, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan.

While the older generation, including my parents have started to fear the outcome of this swing, I do believe that the young generation is getting what it wanted.

Change is only the beginning.

I do believe that in many cases, we were voting for the lesser of two evils. It's now up to the new elected faces to show us what they are really made of.

To all the elected parliamentary and state legislative candidates, CONGRATULATIONS. I hope you are all able to work together to make this country a better place. Remember: easy come, easy go - we put you there.

I just came across this ad on my Gmail. Someone's taken the trouble create a website, and spend some ad dollars to promote it via Google.



It's a ONE pager. Definitely worth a read. Nothing but facts and figures, with solid references.

Braving the rain

UPDATE:: According to Malaysia Today, over 3,000 people attended the DAP ceramah in TTDI. Check out the report & photos.

At the DAP ceramah in TTDI. It's pouring yet there's a massive crowd. Wet jeans and a watter logged "padang". Raja Petra is on stage as I snap this - crowd favourite.

If you're voting this year, let it be the year that the "rakyat" (people) siezes seizes control of the government. Hidup Rakyat!
