kak ton, yeah yeah !!!
kak, the peopled has voted and the people will decide, there's more showdown for pak lah.
thanks darling for the updates.
Kak Ton,
I hope the victors will be humble in their hour of triumph, and the vanquished dignity in defeat.
In an unprecedented chapter of our history, the real work has just begun for PKR, DAP and PAS. Together they must show us the better way in terms of power sharing.
I pray good sense will prevail among them. Their partnership is untried and untested. None of them won alone.
I hope they can show us a better way forward towards a more harmonious and prosperous Malaysia.
The new govts of the respective state under their care must demonstrate a holistic approach towards development and nation-building.
We need to be more competitive in this era of globalisation, not forgetting the problems of global warming. It's my earnest hope they take seriously environmental and social impact in their planning. Failing which the future generations will have to bear the consequences.
I also hope to see the less fortunate are better taken care of. They must be empowered to lead a life befitting dignity of a human being. No one should be left out.
For our nation to move forward, we must bear one another's burden. The marginalised must be incorporated into the mainstream. Then only our society will safe.
Dear Kak Ton,
If what I think is happening is happening, then I think Malaysians have once again got their MERDEKA in a bloodless coup.
In the region, this is indeed totally Malaysian -- doing what needs to be done, quietly. In fact, almost lethargically.
Malaysians never cease to amaze. Even when we revolt, we do it in our customary LEPAK STYLE. :D
Don't you just love our people!
Dear Kak Ton,
We Malaysians have again done it our way - LEPAK STYLE even when we revolt. :D
Another historic MERDEKA with a bloodless coup!
Go Malaysians!
Dear all,
I am speechless. Too happy for words. But we did it.
Both the candidates I voted for in my constituency won. And both are newbies who defeated the incumbents. I could feel the mood for change at the ceramahs I attended.
Yaay! This is a new beginning. I know, I know it's so cliche.
:) :) :)

Bless my fellow Malaysians. Bless my country.
