A new beginning…

Monday, March 10th, 2008

8th of March, I will never forget this day. The day that will definitely be written into the book of Sejarah Malaysia, as one of Malaysia most important days.

Actually this election results served as an important lesson to all of us, never be too arrogant and always be adaptive to changes.

Why did BN lost? They simply didnt foresee the wave of changes triggered from the new MALAYSIAN (Not just non muslim) generation, this is the first year for many of us who are provided with good education started to realise our political rights and cast a vote. Ask me 4 years ago, I will still not vote! Not that all of us are anti government, but the past governonce simply is not good enough, not transparent, corruption, no fair treatment in civil service all the way to the price hike etc, Lingam issues, Altantuya issues, Chua Soi Lek scandal etc.

Actually other than election, when come to running a company and managing employees, the management needs to change their way of managing too as younger generation of employees demand opportunities and change. We simply cannot manage like we used to do 20 years ago, talking about loyalty and job security. None of this matter anymore to the new generation workforce, they are more demanding and understand their rights.

So opposition won, are they really that good? Actually I doubt that. If they ever grow too powerful, I bet they will become complacent too. So we need to ensure the vote will swing again to the other end. In fact I think we should always keep the vote this way and a so called "balanced government" rather than "weakened government". 

Am I a hardcore DAP, PKR, PAS, BN supporter? Hell no? If you are not effective, I will use my 1 vote to do the talking. Be sure starting from now, there is no more dictator in Malaysia and democracy will prevail, so to all opposition MPs and state assemblymen better hit the ground and start working, do ensure what you had promised is realised.

I am happy not because DAP won or PKR won, I am happy because democracy is alive in our country and it definitely had restored my faith into MAlaysia which once was recognised for its draconian law and childish government remark. Malaysia is reborn, give the new state government a chance, give Malaysia a chance, give yourself a chance! cheerssss……..
