So, the opposition is no longer the opposition, hence opening a new chapter of the country’s democratic excellence.
I won’t summarise much of what you may have heard or read in the tabloid, through various discussions (where you have actively participate or just a mere observer taking notes of other people’s genuine interest to the oh-so-interesting topic), or from the pleasant viewing of the news on the electronic mode. All in all, BN won by simple majority, lost in 5 states (namely Kelantan, Perak, Selangor, Penang and Kedah) and Pak Lah is again the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
I couldn’t exercise my right to vote eventhough I did register during one of those road shows in Suria KLCC (maybe I don’t fit that right profile of a voter) and wasn’t even bothered to seek justice to the inadequacy of the system to recognize me. But soon after, I regretted the fact that I did not.
I seriously thought that this election would be the routine electorate where in the end, BN would yet again prevail as the power of dominance. The result shocked me… but I was glad.
It shows that the people have bravely spoken their mind, and they wanted changes to happen right this instant. Perhaps this would open a great journey for the ramification of the government who is willing to provide more for its people. Perhaps after this, you could envisage the head to head Clinton-Obama debacle showdown happening to our very own BN vs BA leader. Perhaps it is a start to a better Malaysia as the current government sees the need to gain the trust of the people, and their promise to serve as the better ruling party. Lots of perhaps to this great post-election that I can already envision.
It’d be more interesting to see how new laws will get passed the legislature sitting, as there will more constructive feedback from 1/3 of the opposition (and I do hope its constructive instead of reenacting the hopeless effort of a 5-year old trying to piss off their parent) . There will be new initiative, and lesser laws imposed to silently kill the people (like tolls, petrol, etc).
Let’s just wait and see.
Other things on my mind:
1. Hoping that the stock market will show great improvement, after the sudden decline post- result
2. Anwar taking over the Lembah Pantai parliamentary seat
3. BN won 15 seats by slim margin of less than 200 votes. I wonder if those who didn’t manage to exercise their right to vote now feel somber pain
4. Independent who has decided to take sides after their triumphant (1 is joining PKR, and today, Tanah Rata’s Ho might return to MCA)
5. My babe Iddelz who was thinking of setting up her own party in 10 years to come. You go babe.
And on another note:
Clinton as the President? Obama as the Vice President?
Reverse that?
Wouldn’t US be a better country?
Rambling thoughts of just another girl. Be very sure.. Be very very sure before you proceed
