Malaysia – A New Day Dawning


10 May 2018 – As a nation overdue to a change of Government as many around the world having done so, Malaysians showed that such a major change can be done peacefully, without any bloodshed, but at the ballot box.

Malaysia will be a country of great interest to the world on how to remove the longest ruling party in the world (over 60 continuous years) by the will of the people so clearly shown by their votes casted throughout the day yesterday.

Amidst all the shenanigans, gerrymandering, trickeries, obstacles placed before the people to vote, Malaysians made it clear once for all what they wish.

This is democracy at play and the West should study Malaysia carefully.

It was against all expectations where the ruling party has so much at their disposal to thwart the Opposition onslaught with money, audacious promises and threats.

But they didn’t expect how their ex-President, Tun Mahathir, with his team which party was deregistered prior to calling of the election, will have played such a shrewd strategy with all the pillar leaders of Pakatan Harapan and to bring out his old guns at the last week to turn the tide against incumbent Najib.

The more the BN played their influence over the Election Commission and went to the extent of even cutting out his face from billboards, the BN fueled the anger by their treatment of this grand old man of an ex-PM.

This election has seen all the worst side of BN in their desperation to win by even holding back the validation of vote counts.

So, congratulations to Malaysia and to Malaysians. You made the call.

As and when Tun Mahathir is sworn in tomorrow by the deputy Agung, Malaysia will have a brand new chapter and starts with the world looking keenly on her to rise to great heights.

And Malaysians will have high hopes on Tun Mahathir and the new Government to straighten up all the institutions for a great Malaysia.

The mandate has been given.

The people has decided.

Malaysia Boleh!
