Malaysia's Wind of Change

After yersterday's 12th General Election (PRU12), Malaysia ought to brace a political change in the country.

Call it a revolution, Barisan Nasional (BN), the coalition front, suffers a huge setback in history since gaining independence from the British about 50 years ago. The oppposition parties (DAP, PKR, PAS), has outstandingly denied the 2/3 majority win that Barisan Nasional (BN) has always wanted - all thanks to the people of Malaysia.

After failing to win back the Kelantan state for the past 18 years, losing the battle for island-state of Penang to opposition, Democratic Action Party (DAP), is considered another major blow for BN. Adding salt to the wound, the ruling government also lost another 2 more nothern states of Kedah and Perak. Whereas, BN strong fort, the state of Selangor has its first change of political landscape losing to Parti KeAdilan Rakyat (PKR), a party lead by an influential political figure, ex-Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

My salute to the opposition alliances, which had fought brave and hard, putting in the right strategies to fold the dominance of BN. Being supreme, BN should actually should have prescience of the outcome of this election many months ago, where technically, it has already losing mandate from the people. Many politcal watchers have also predicted that BN's past winning streak will come to an abrupt end if the national domestic issues, such as race, religions, inflations, rising cost and other bread and butter matters, are not being taken into consideration seriously.

Losing powers, for some heavyweight ministers to less unknown candidates, also pointed out that all the changes that they had brought to the people doesn't guarantee easy victory. Afterall, it's the hearts of the people that matter most and not the preeching of empty slogans that will win votes.

It's about time BN to make a rightful change within their coalition and learn the beauty of democracy.

Nevertherless, the truth hurts.

I dedicate this song to the people of Malaysia. May there be a better tomorrow.
