A Day to Remember

It's a big day for all the Malaysians, BN although won the GE2008 but lost the 2/3 majority and 5 states to the opposition. A victory and a new hope for the people who have risen and spoken of their will.

Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of the Barisan Rakyat has played a major role in the victory. Although I am still not very sure whether he can be trusted or not (he could be one of 'them' if he wasn't framed in 1998) but no doubt he is a more respectable figure comparing to Badawi. Dr Mahathir can't be trusted as well but at least he managed to keep things under control during his leadership of the country.

Lim Kit Siang and the DAP members are the people whom I really respected. They have fight for the Malaysian people for decades without any datukship, tunship or personal benefits. I believe under the DAP government, Penang will develop better, the state fund will be spent more carefully and of course less or zero corruption.


Lim's son Guan Eng is taking over the role of Chief Minister for Penang. In the press conference. Asking how's his feeling, he didn't forget to tease the Malaysian press sarcastically: "I think the only difference is I find more press attending our conference than before the election". Shame on the major media who are all pro BN.


This is something we won't be able to listen from local media, covered by Al-Jazeera. In Jalan Pandan Indah, KL, 500+ voters have registered on the street, 20-30 registered on one address. If not because of these phantom voters, BN could even had lost more than that. Check out the explanation by the EC Kamarazuman, what a joke in front of the international media.

Dr Mahathir has launched his new attack on Badawi and his son-in-law in an interview with Malaysiakini, urging Badawi to resign as Prime Minister. I think Dr. M is a smart old fox, praising Najib to succeed Badawi as new PM, to create some wave in UMNO since virtually he can't do much anymore without power.

On the son-in-law:
"I think his son-in-law played a big role (in the defeat). This young man who has no achievements before but apparently the PM listens to him"

On Zam, mis-information minister:
"He won or lost? Oh, he lost. Well, the way he was campaigning was really funny, telling people to look at his face and how it doesn't change. But I think that a face that doesn't change can be very boring. Sometimes you must laugh, sometimes you must cry.

He was telling everybody "Ini muka tak bertukar, tak bertukar". Who is interested in his ‘wajar’? If he was Britney Spears, then…"

On Samy Vellu:
"I think that Samy Vellu played a big part in the defeat. When he was in BN, he doesn't allow any of the MIC people to come up to his level. If they come up (to be) deputy or vice-president, he will knock them down and even expel them from the party"

It's a pity Rafidah Aziz won her seat if not I can expect Dr Mahathir to make more interesting comments.


"Goodbye Sam", another masterpiece by comedycourt: "and this result has been welcomed by mixed feelings, some are shocked and some are very shiok" hahaha...

There will be a protest on Monday morning at Istana Negara when Badawi meets the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong to form the new government. The thick face said he won't resign despite of the biggest defeat in the history, the son-in-law and the cronies certainly won't want him to go. Let's see what happen in the next few weeks.

And, let's hope for a better future for Malaysia.
