The votes came in. The results are out. The people's message is loud and clear: we're not happy with the way this nation is governed, especially in terms of transparency and socio-economic welfare, and we're looking for positive change.

The next few years will be an interesting time for Malaysia. 2/3 majority is no longer BN's to claim, giving better check-and-balance. The way federal and national issues are handled will be affected. Hopefully in a positive way.
I'll be keenly observing the direction of these states in particular: Penang, Perak and Selangor. Let's see how things unravel, because it's not going to be easy at state government level, bearing in mind the "clash" of BA state government and BN federal government.
These are interesting times for Malaysia, changing times. I'm quietly happy, yet also wary of the times to come. This is but the first step, hopefully in the right direction, but it'll hinge on the way things unravel after this. The BA parties are not without its faults. None of us are.
We have lots to do, and we're still a long way from maturing as a nation. So strap yourselves in, it's gonna be one heck of a journey.
