I will add that only in Asian can a person who served as PM for twenty years, who locked up opponents, get voted and and the masses cheer for a new leader and think everything will change over night.09.05.2018 | Malaysia's Rebirth.
Never have I imagined since I was exposed to the concept of politics as a young boy, that the long-ruling party would be defeated. I was told to tolerate the norm and focus on building my own life, to accept that its reach is beyond change.
Never have I thought as a young man that my vote matters with the plethora of injustice seen. After two GEs that led to disappointment, I decided to vote anyway. All the pain and anger inside me were channelled to prayers, and doing what I believe would change the mindset of people within my ability.
Never have I felt like the downward spiral this country was on due to incompetent governance will end, while seeing the neighbouring countries reap the crops of their forefathers' (and fore-mothers') sacrifices.
Yet today, the unimaginable has happened. The unchallenged has been unseated; the truth has prevailed. My fellow Malaysians who stood united has declared that democracy is not something to be trifled with.
Thank You Malaysia, you made my heart beam with pride. Let us change for the better together. Let us help create an amazing land for the future generations. Let us put aside all differences and take these steps as one - Ini Kalilah.
