Wind of change

The wind of change was a lot stronger than I thought. Opposition has managed deny BN of 2/3 majority and gained control of 5 states - Kelantan, Penang, Perak, Selangor and Kedah, compared to only 1 in the previous general election. Not only they have managed to win, they have won it with a handsome margin. Similar results were also obtained in parliamentary seats, with Opposition nearly clean sweeping KL.

I was quite skeptical that this election is going to make too much of a change as the mainstream media is usually biased against the opposition due to the hidden hands of Barisan Nasional. It's good to know that we do not blog in vain.

Khalid Ibrahim is likely to be the next Menteri Besar of Selangor, Lim Guan Eng the new Chief Minister of Penang, while the MB for Perak, Kedah and Kelantan has yet to be announced.

I hope this will teach the 4th floor boys a good lesson for their arrogance and ignorance. Malaysians have finally realised that they could make a difference at the ballot box.
