Not many will read this post to the end.

One thing I’d like to say to Pak Lah: "Pak Lah, the tribe has spoken!".

Actually, we’ve spoken a long time ago, you weren’t listening. You were too busy purchasing private jets and bungalows somewhere else. Your ‘machais’ were not listening either. They were too busy building bungalows for themselves and inviting orphans to tour their newly built castle.

But then, you’re still here, Pak Lah. For some reasons, you’re still here. Is it because there are still those who are appreciative of what you or your party has done for the country in the past? Yea, that’s valid. But I also noticed that a majority of parliamentary seats you’ve won came from two states, Sabah and Sarawak, which accounted for 51 seats of the total of 137 that you have won.

Oh ya, you did pretty well in Johor too, but let’s take a look closely and consider this: Almost 40% of the parliamentary seats you’ve won are from east Malaysia. You’ve lost Penang, Perak, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan. Think about it, SELANGOR, PERAK, PENANG! All highly developed areas (relatively to other states) and you ALSO lost all except one parliamentary seats in WP KL (where the opp won 10). Relatively, these are the more sophisticated voters with better grasp of current events.

I can’t really tell. Which is more representative? Big states like Selangor, Penang, Perak and WP KL (though not a state) or Sabah & Sarawak. Pls do not misunderstand me for saying East Malaysian voters are unimportant or that their decisions should have less influence. But consider this, which part or states have more rural areas? I’m actually not qualified to do this kind of analysis, but I can’t help but noticed, mainly young voters and more sophisticated voters (sophisticated meaning have more access to informations, including non-mainstream medias) voted for the opposition! The supposedly next generation leaders and information-savvy young lings voted against you! Think. Which one is more representative of your future voters?

Is that a CLEAR message or what?!

I was really excited with the turnout of events because I feel so much a part of it. Mainly because this is the first time I’m voting. I feel like we’ve just made history and I’m very much a part of it.

We HAVE made history. We have broken the myth that the gorv is invincible. 51 years of independence, and we’re led to believe that they are invincible, by almost every election results in the past. In the past, the minority races have to depend on seeking representation in the gorv by voting for component parties in the gorv to preserve their interest. By voting for a component in the gorv, we’re still playing by their rules! What kind of power is that? It’s like having the negotiation power of a mouse against an elephant.  A very submissive mouse, that is, because this mouse depends on the elephant for food!

But what just happened in this election, is that WE, the people, have sent a clear message to the gorv, that we have the resolve to change that. We want at least another elephant to talk for us. Not a submissive mouse. We, the people, can take back the power vested in you, if you prove to be unworthy of our trust. And this should serve as a warning to the oppositions as well. If you fail us, we CAN vote you out in the next election too. We’ve just shown you we’re very capable in doing that.

So, my friends, pls do not have the impression that I’m pro-opposition and anti-gorv. I’m only voting for a capable gorv.

I did not vote for the opposition. I voted against corruption.

I did not vote against the gorv. I voted for integrity and competency.

Bravo Malaysia, I’m proud of you!
