Yesterday has been a day of many highs for me.
For the first time in Malaysia history, the National Front party has been denied 2/3 majority. They still win with a simple majority, but any amendment to the constitution would have to go through the many newly-elected opposition representations in the parliament first.
Five (five!) states are now opposition states. They are Kelantan, Penang, Kedah, Perak and Selangor. Selangor! My state! Which has never been an opposition state! I think I am still trembling and in shock of the extend of the oppositions' win.
The analysts are saying one of the factor is the young and first time voters. They are more aware of current issues, and have their own mind and are not swayed with the multiple propagandas showed on government controlled mainstream medias. These new generation know how to search for their own truth, preferring independent medias and numerous blogs, especially blogs.
I am certainly that. I am a first time voter. And both my chosen representatives for both the state and parliament seats won. Giving me license to brag to my mom. The first time I ever vote and.. :D
We're gonna have a new Menteri Besar for Selangor. And I can't tell you how glad I am that we're gonna kick that Botox-using-but-denying-it-and-saying-that-he eats-a-lot-of-tempe-instead out of the office.
AND. Oh My God football. To quote Anis, '080308 - the day politics and football decided to coincidentally topple the big guns '.
AND AND. Liverpool won. Torres. You're a gem. ♥
