Post the General Election

Prior to General Election 2008

Malaysians are living in slumber motion, there was no much issues to be discussed,except for the rumours of increasing cost of living as day by day teh media was talking about the increase of crude oil price.Though the election mood was picking up, but there's no major controversial issues, apart of the infamous (read:famous) Bersih rally and Hindraf demonstration.

People were guessing when would the Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi would announce the dissolution of Parliament and the start of the General Election's rally. Amidst speculation that the Premier would dissolve the Parliament on 13th February, as 13 is his favourite number and the General Election would be held on 8th March, the PM still keep it mum.

Then, suddenly here it goes: The Barisan Nasional lost its 2/3 majority in Dewan Rakyat and 5 rich states namely Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and lost its bid to win over Kelantan despite its much anticipated "the Blue Wave". Period.

I was partying hard the night when the General Election results came out. I hoped of getting the news on the MSM the next morning but to my avail, there was hardly any.People were rushing to get the papers and to find out what was going on and what would happen next?There was no parade or procession to celebrate any party's win as it is touted to incite "racial tension".Bah!

Many analysis and commentary were produced to justify one party's win and the other party's loss.Some argue that it was a signal to the Federal Government that the "Makkal Sakthi" or the People's Power or Ketuanan Rakyat is at worked. Some would later contradict that it was merely a protest vote to the Fedearal Government because of the people's unsatisfaction towards government's actions and policies, especially regarding the higher price of daily goods and petrols and also the "racist implementation of the Constitution" which technically favours the Bumiputeras, especially ethnic Malay.Bah!

And here when Tun Mahathir starts to act.

Bombarding Pak Lah with various accusations, even to urge the current Premier to step down as a "responsive acts" because of the dismal performance of the BN in the General Election. The former Premier even went to the extent of playing the racial card when he said that the Malay Supremacy over politics in Malaysia is some kind eroded under Pak Lah's administration.Much of it is true.

Now that Tun Mahathir, the former President of UMNO and BN and the Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years has step out of UMNO and BN, what more for us, the Malays specifically and Malaysian generally has to go on with this situation?

Aku sendiri menanti jawapnya...
