A REVOLUTION




The just concluded 12th General Election indeed a revolution for Malaysia. Lim Kit Siang and Nik Aziz liken it to a tsunami. Perhaps there is no other word best described the just concluded general election. To me, it is the beginning of a new era for Malaysia where we realised race-base politics is definitely not the way we should go for. We should not look at problem at 'race first, problem second' anymore. A problem is a problem irrespective of whether it is faced by Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan, Iban or 'lain-lain'.

The statements made by our leaders after the release of General Election results are indeed assuring and respectable in every senses.


PAS spiritual leader, Nik Aziz said :-

“I want to thank everybody, all the races that worked together with PAS to bring in this victory. I appreciate your support. We will approach this victory from an Islamic point of view and this means everyone is equal. All are brothers and sisters. There should be no more dividing people along racial lines,”


To be appointed Chief Minister of Penang, Lim Guan Eng said :-

“It will be a government for all Malaysians. We stress that we will not rule alone but together with PKR. We also hope that the PAS can help this new government”.



PKR de-facto leader, Anwar Ibrahim said :-


“The people have voted decisively for a new era where the government must be truly inclusive and recognises that all Malaysians, regardless of race, culture or race are a nation of one,”
