as the silent majority starts to speak

A shocking history was made last Saturday as 5 states fall to the opposition after the 11th General Election of Malaysia. I never thought it was coming. I did predict that Penang might fall, but neither Selangor nor Perak was in my mind?

As Datuk Seri Samy Vellu lost at the early hours of the counting process, and then Datuk Seri Sharizat’s loss to Nurul Izzah, I know that something was not right there. I stayed in front of the TV for the latest result from 9 till 3 in the morning. *yawn* It was so interesting, yet scary…
Fuh, that was too much wasn’t it? It was unbelievable…

Being neutral here, I am on neither sides, the government nor the opposition, but somehow I feel if the government failed to earn majority vote this time, it would be a chaos. Let see here in Perak, when the new ‘government to be’ failed to decide who will be the ‘Menteri Besar’ till today. Proven there that they are not that prepared to rule the state. [ada banyak roket di negeri ini, adakah saya berkelayakan untuk menjadi angkasawan seterusnya? Yay!~]

However, in Penang tho, after less that 24 hours, they have already decided that Lim Guan Eng is the ‘Chief Minister to be’ of Penang. I can see that coming. Eh, I was wondering that Penang & Selangor which both of the states fall to the opposition, oh, the ‘former opposition’, hehe, sorry, eh, back to the topic, I was wondering if the development will be continued as planned [the 2nd bridge of Penang, all the corridors etc], or will they be moved to Johor [Iskandariah] as the government kept their strong base there? And is it possible that DAP, PAS & PKR have the abilities to keep their promises [lower the price of petrol, terminate the toll, free education etc] in their winning states when the ruling party still have the majority in Parliament? Gosh, I’m sooo curious… [big question mark on the head]

So what went wrong?
1. I think the government loss their Chinese voters in the Nothern State. Why? I dunno~ Haha.. I think it is because of the wrong approach taken by the government, that they are going more to agriculture than industrial that was proposed by former PM, Tun Dr Mahathir.
2. The government didn’t explain much on the issues taken by the opposition? Don’t you think so? About the Hindraf, ‘Harga Barang Naik’ etc.
3. I also believe that the government controls the media too much that some people get irritated with it. Hehe…
4. The ‘mahasiswa’ who is also the new voters want a change, yet they didn’t know what is coming when they have that ‘change’.
5. Some of the candidates from the ruling party are ‘boring’ and lack of personality. Plus, they are over confident they would wipe away all the seats.

So what are we expecting now? A government without the 2/3 majority is not that strong, and they need some of the oppositions’ vote in the parliament to create a new law, isn’t it? New faces, will be in the new cabinet as some of the seniors has been put down to rest. And how the new government in these 5 states will work together when they have different agenda. I also believe that the government will change some major agendas and approaches later on especially for MCA and MIC. A strong punch in the face for Pak Lah...

Anyhow, I’m hoping for the best for every states’ government whether it comes from the ruling party of the opposition, we sure surely are hoping for the best. We have to pay for the result and respect that as it was chosen by the Malaysians.

I did my voting at St. Francis for first time~! Yay~ Bangga~
