The people has spoken...

I was up till the wee hours this morning watching the general election results. The ruling party suffered a shocking defeat in a lot of seats in this general election. It was unbelievable result...

I wouldn't call myself a supporter of any particular political party and i didn't even vote yesterday despite being a registered voter. I did vote in the last general election - my very first voting experience- but mostly just for the heck of it and i voted for the candidates that my father supported. Well, that was the best thing to do 'coz i was not staying in the area where i voted. My parents did and still are living there.... so, they should get my vote for whoever they want to be their leader...

Anyway, i hope all those opposition leaders who got voted in this time would discharge their responsibilities to the people to the bes of their ability and i hope that this shocking results would serve as a wake-up call to the ruling party. They shouldn't be too complacent and think that the people wouldn't dare to make such a big change as to vote the oppositions when the country is doing "ok". Based on the results, apparently, the country is not ok, there are a lot resentment among the people. Now, it's time to do a serious soul searching on the best way to serve the people.

So, the people has spoken.... i hope that it's the best men and women who have won.... most of all, i pray that this new change of guards would the best for all Malaysians...
