There has been a big change in Malaysia, in her 50th year since independence, as the Opposition finally broke the duck in many states and in Parliament. For the first time in the history of Malaysia there will be a more representative Opposition in Malaysia, similar to that of developed countries (which are notoriously two party, with a strong exception being Britain). At last tally, it seems that Barisan Nasional's 2/3 majority in Parliament has been broken, with the Opposition winning 1 or 2 more seats than needed to deny them the right to change the Constitution of Malaysia. (In other words, the highest law in Malaysia; as we would proudly say "Keluhuran Perlembagaan")
I think that things will get better in the future, after this election. I hope that Pak Lah and his new Cabinet will strive to improve, both in delivering promises he put forth in both his 2004 and 2008 elections, and respecting the views of the many races in Malaysia by allowing fair coverage to everyone (instead of some rather biased reporting towards certain races that we see every now and then). He should be able to now though, I am sure much has been learnt, and that the Administration will be ready to move on...
As for the Opposition and their "trumpeted" aspirations to become the Federal Government, I think they need to hold that off for now, because the people are still judging and suspicious regarding their credibility to rule the country. What we all want to see is how they manage the five states they won.... if they do it well, then who knows... who knows.
Good day, and congrats to all parties who won.
well, i'm just writing from my own perspective and not trying to offense any parties here. Anyway, i'm still merely full with doubtise about politic issues, i believe that i willn't plan to know more as older generation said - Try to evade politic issues if possible.
Regards,
Brandon
