Malaysia's Leaders Suffer Setback:Political Tsunami


[Submitted by lpsoldier on March 10, 2008, 1:16 am]

After a strong fort in the country for many generations... the 2/3 majority is no longer in the grasp of  the BN(National Front Alliance). The party that supposed to represent the 3 main race in the country(malay,chinese and indian) didnt score with the people this time.

In my humble opinion, the lack of leadership and the imbalance of racial equity has forced chinese and indians voters to take the opposition side. The opposition made a record breaking win by conquering 5 states including Selangor and Penang. This hopefully has send a clear message to BN for neglecting the needs of other races in the country and demoracy has been proven in this election. Even some Malays voters chose to vote the opposition. Eventhough by winning the majority parliment seat, this would be hard for Umno leaders as they lose the grip of 2/3 that they been enjoying for so long. The country was at peace after the result announced and the future is still uncertain.

This should be a lesson to BN for always taking the chinese and indians for granted and this should be a wake up call to the country in general. It would be great to see the cabinet line up and the formation of the goverment. Equality of all has been promised by the opposition but we know politians says anything to get vote. But i guess sometimes you need to try new things, if not you will never know th result. So lets see what the oppostion can achieve in this coming 5 years in these 5 states and in general. Let the wind blow in another direction for the next 5 year. Keeping fingers crossed.
