The results are out and the voters have finally expressed themselves through the ballot papers. The BN won an embarassingly simple majority, thanks to Sabah and Sarawak.
Does this mean we will see more ministers coming from West Malaysia. They definitely have the power to demand so because if it wasnt for them, BN would have suffered a beating of their lifetime!
What saddens me most is that the government still has not learned anything. Despite promises that the earliest results will be shown on TV at 7pm, nothing was coming through. Thank god for Malaysia Kini!
However, after sometime, even Malaysia Kini was barred.This happened while we were observing a recount at the Rembau Parliamentary state seat-Khairy lost, then a recount, then he was leading by 800 votes. Then poof! the website server went down. This is how we practise democracy in Malaysia. Do they really think they can fool us?
When the people are tired and fed-up, they will say so. And lately, despite cries and appeal, the government just sat on their laurels. Well, serve them right and hooray to the people power.
This being said, I do feel sorry for some really hardworking BN MP's and state assemblymen. Its nothing personal. People voted for party, people voted for a change. Lets hope from now on ministers and politicians stop thinking they are indisposable. Samy, you were too arrogant and ignorant for your own good.
Some say the Indians will not be well represented in the parliament. Who cares? Were the Indians ever well represented in the first place?
Now, we just hope there will be more fairness and just in the system and equal rights for all Malaysians.
Special thanks to Hindraf and Bersih. By the way, Malaysia kini server is still down.
