Makkal Sakthi indeed.

I never thought I would live to see this day. The day where Malaysians finally exercised the full extent of their political might and will. The day where we finally restored power to the people. I am so proud to be part of history in the making. I am so proud to be one of the contributing votes that made this change possible.

BN may have still won but it is the opposition that is victorious. This victory belongs to us. The people. With their 2/3 majority denied, we have now ensured that there will be more check and balance in our future administration. This was our goal, and we made it happen. x)

5 states falling into opposition hands, the big guns being ousted (about time and rightly so) and bloggers having a role to play in the parliament, these are all incredibly exciting news. I was following the polling results yesterday very closely, refreshing the Malaysia Kini page like a madwoman and it was such an emotional journey. I was happy and angry and then happy again and then really pissed off. It was an emotional roller coaster! Haha! It was an epic moment for all Malaysians and at the very end, I was so proud and ended up tearing to Winds of Change. XP

The opposition leaders called for zero celebration and true enough, as the good news came in, the streets were quiet and empty. There were fears of violence, of intolerance, of a repeat of the May 13th tragedy, but none of it could be heard on the streets. And though there were no signs or sounds, I could feel the excitement and the celebration of hope within. Perhaps, change CAN really happen without violence? We'll see.

One thing Malaysians ought to know by now - never trust your local media. Instead opt for the alternative media that has more guts and integrity to report the truth. The newspaper reported today that the opposition coalition managed such a victory by exploiting the anger of the Chinese and Indian minorities caused by the diminishing non-Malay rights. First off, exploiting? Seriously? Are they really going to depict Malaysians as a bunch of idiots with no brains? Stop undermining us and make us look like fools. And secondly, I didn't know we had non-Malay rights. *scratches head* Our local media needs to grow a spine.

I am also incredibly amazed by Badawi. He is either in great denial or he is a political idiot. My bet is that he is both. With such a big loss to the coalition party, one would think he would graciously step down to save himself some face. I really don't know what to think of him. You know what, I'm not going to think of him. At all.

To the many patriots that have been relentlessly fighting for this cause, I thank you. Without constantly seeing the fire burning so brightly in your souls, we would have never been so aware and so determined.

A new dawn for Malaysia. Who would've thought? x)
