i know it has been ages since I wrote and definitely too long since our general election. what can i say!! Whatever happens, we are at the threshold of our country's history as the situation we have is not something we have experienced before. I bet the oppositions are going still dazed still thinking..."we bloody won??!?". Anyway, this had to happen with all the bullshit that we were getting from the Govt. If it didnt happen, we would have been royally screwed as well. The Govt will just say, "Look, let's just keep up our ways and screwing the people. 2 weeks before election, we will come up with some goodies and STILL win. That's how stupid Malaysian are.". Let's hope the 5 million idiots who registered but didnt vote and those who didnt register will change their minds now. See? You can make a difference.
So these results are good for the opposition because the pressure to perform is on them now. If they screw up, they know we are not going to vote them in again! Sure they got the job because the ruling party is a bunch of nitwits but they got the job all the same. So its time to perform. Having said that, I have mixed feelings about who won and lost. For example, I am really pissed that Khairy won and by cheating as well. Whether it is by army votes or phantom votes, it's definitely by cheating. Come on, he loses the first count by 80+ votes and on a recount wins by 3000+ votes??? This so called graduated from Oxford or Cambridge or whatever doesn't even know how to cheat!!! I am also upset that Rafidah won but happy she wasn't made a minister. She responded by saying if she knew she wouldn't be made a minister, she wouldn't have contested. I feel sorry for the people who voted her. Your MP just wants to be a minister and not to serve you. So sorry if you thought otherwise.
On the opposition front, I am very miffed that Anwar's daughter and wife won. I am sorry but I don't have sympathy for people who have been benefiting from the other side but now claims to be a hero or reformer just because she didnt get along and got kicked out. He was not shouting reformasi when he was in UMNO, he only did it AFTER he tried to challenge the leadership by getting "pal-ly" with the Americans. Also I find it very hard to believe that he didnt do those things. It is so easy to frame someone on corruption (pls dont even begin to tell me he isnt corrupted) than to mention sodomy. You can't make these things up. Mahathir and his cronies are not that creative. Now the daughter (who is too hot to have a father like Anwar and thank god didn't hook up with Khairy), is going to step down for him after April. Geez!!!
I am also sorry that Samy lost the way he did. I really dislike him but he has done a lot for Sg Siput and should have just gracfully stepped down like Ling Liong Sik, Lim Keng Yaik and all those who left before him. The problem with Samy is that all his good work is very personal and is not expandable. Sure he got us Indians a college (some got forsaken place in melaka. who the heck wants to go there to study??), some hardcore poor got some benefits and handouts and some folks got low cost houses and so on. He was unable to replicate it on a national level and make it big scale. He also did not groom a successor. There is no one to take over and now MIC is slowing becoming irrelevant. After all Hindraf got KL-ians a holiday on Thaipusam. I may have been a little hard on Hindraf in my earlier posting but looks like they made a difference for the opposition. I am still against violent protesting though.
I was also said that Chew Mei Fun lost. She has the same issues as Samy. Very ground level and very personal but unable to replicate to a higher level. She is so...so...aunty (no disrepect to the aunties). She doesnt really make any impact in parliament or MCA but she is a hard worker nonetheless. I am also sorry that Shahrizat lost and its the same for her. Too much in the shadow of Rafidah (who looks like a really ugly mutated bull frog....no disrepect to the bull frog).
I must say that the best loser or a real gentleman in all this is Koh Tsu Koon. I really didnt think he deserved to lose but there were just too many failures connected to his administration. I feel for him and he took it really well and was very calm and cool about it. He made a press conference citing a smooth transition of power, he introduced the council member to Lim Guan Eng and he was even in the swearing in ceremony. I think he would have been a good advisor and addition to DAP. Sorry Tsu Koon but you were just too nice and had bad advisors.
I am also SUPER glad that Khir son of Toyo lost the government in Selangor. It was cool that he won his seat so that he now has to start work at the state government but under Khalid! A former menteri besar reduced to to a mere backbencher. i bet he will have a lot of friends there. and wat about Zakaria Deros, the council member who built a RM8MM house on top of illegally acquired land? I am sorry that he died (i am never one to revel in someone's death) because that means he cant get down on his knees and apologize to all the poor people he swindled the land from and then go to jail for it.
Like I mentioned earlier, whatever it is, it is going to be a new era for us. We have never been in a situation where the opposition ruled and I think we will see some interesting things happening. I think Lim Kit Siang needs to shut up and focus on his work instead of just mouthing off stuff like boycotting the Perak's signing in at the palace. He has to remember that he is now in a position of power, something he couldnt do or achieve. So if they play it right, they can go far. Let's all pray and hope for a better Malaysia now.
