Hopefully it is a breakthrough for Malaysia. Or it is already one?
Barisan Nasional has lost the 2/3 advantage in parliament, first time ever, on 8th March 2008.
This means that they need the opposition's consent to make constitutional changes. They can't dominate the decision making process as what they did last time.
This also means that Malaysian citizens desperately require a change. A change in corrupted government. A change in racial politics.
There is, however, another concern.
Will the opposition opposes everything? Without considering the actual consequences of the policies or issues raised?
Will opposition, similarly, trapped in the racial-centric thinking?
Hopefully not.
Please, do what's good for the people. Not the party.
If you don't perform well, you'll lose people's confidence. See what happened to Taiwan's DPP.
Power relation becomes more balance. Two-party system like Britain? Too early and too optimistic to talk about that perhaps. Yet no doubt it is a step forward to democracy that we've never achieved in the past 50 years.
BN, work hard to win back our votes!
DAP and PKR, make full use of our votes!
PAS, don't use Islamic Law lah!
Good luck Malaysia!
Really shouldn't be too optimistic, too soon. Near-riots happened these few days in several cities. More importantly, rumours are these "riots" are induced by some sore-losers using racial issues and even cash. Lets hope nothing worse will happen and the best is yet to come.
