A new dawn

1957, Malaysia got its independence.

Ever since, it has been governed by the same political party for 60 years.

Power corrupts, 60 years of uninterrupted grip on power has utterly corrupted that ruling party.

The party leaders could literally do or say anything and get away with it, and they did just that. Such unbearable arrogance.

Today, it has finally changed, after a hard fought campaign to save Malaysia from the crooks in the ruling party, we finally achieved our dream.

It's a historical day, the 14th general election will go down in history as the first change of power at the federal government after 60 years.

The rakyat finally got what they wanted, despite all the dirty underhanded stuff the ruling party pulled.

For the general election was neither clean nor fair, still the intentional disqualifying of ballot tickets, the identity theft, the phantom voters, the mislabelling of voting boxes, the smuggling of fake ballot tickets, the blackouts. You name it, they happened still.

But we won, final-freaking-ly. The will of the rakyat prevails!

Of course it didn't go well with the ousted ruling party, dragged the results announcement until close to 03:00 hours before they finally admitted defeat. No more bunny in the hat I guess.

I do feel proud of being a Malaysian today, proud that I am part of this historical day.

Here's hoping the new ruling party will be better, and will let the world know of Malaysia for the right reasons and not for something that shamed us.

I also hope that the rakyat knows that the government serves us, not the other way round, and definitely not serves their own pocket.

And that we can do this again if they turned out just the same old same old.

Politicians, pfft!

Mighty glad to be proven wrong.

We shall see.
