Historical Result!!

Even thou the event had already took place and the dust almost settles, I still felt that I must type something in my blog. This is history and it happened during my life time.

Yes, I am talking about the election PRU12. Something unexpected happened and I could not believe it up till now. I could never have imagine that someday the Selangor State will be in the opposition hands. I stayed up until 4 am just to know the result for Selangor State Assembly but just a few Parliamentary and State had been announced. I began to speculate a split decision. You know like 50-50 or some kind of recount. When RTM, TV3 and even Astro Awani stop broadcasting, I decided to call it a day (what a day!).

Then at 7am I woke up and couldn't believe my eyes and ears, we are going to have a new MB!! Still I did not know who won the most seat. I was expecting DAP but then hope PAS had more. I had to log in to SPR website to finally get the official result as none of the news station had reported the actual result. The reason? I could not figure it out. Maybe there is some concern that riots might broke out if the masses knew the opposition had won?

It was historical result, Penang, Kedah and Kelantan had seen that the opposition party had a landslide victory. I pitied the 'almost-MB' of Kelantan, YB Awang Adek who clearly was shaken by the result. A clear indication that he had lost a lot of money. Just imagine all those money invested in bring in outside voters, then they decided to vote for the opposition. I just couldn't held back my amusement.

Then the Coalition wanted even to employ outside consultant to tell them why did the Coalition Front had lost 5 states to the opposition. My answer to their question was fairly simple, it the small issues that you failed to solved that is the problem. All that the PM said was about development. While all that the people wanted was welfare of the small people. They forgotten about the issue of free education that he promised to the people but then they ended up paying more then they were paying last year! Oh, yeah, not forgetting the petroleum price hike, not once 3 times during his administration. Oh? Did they forget that one too. Gosh, Malay people are forgetful lot. Thank god the masses didn't.

Up to now, the MB of Terengganu and Perlis had not been elected. The UMNO people had labeled DAP as being 'biadap' but then Hadi Awang replied, the ones nominated by PM are one that the Sultan didn't condone. Hah, take that one shot at the face UMNO!! Calling the cattle black.

Then again this transition might be momentarily, then when the next election comes, the votes swings back to the Coalitions. As it happened in Terengganu. The voters just wanted to punish them for being an imbecile and egoistic maniacs. Hope that Najib will win the UMNO President post this coming September. Yes, I'm beginning to envision YAB Dato' Seri Najib as the next PM. Am I with the opposition? Nope, I'm a thinker. A thinker does have any political orientation, just saying what's is right and what is wrong. Who do I vote for? That's a secret that only SPR knew. Hahaha!! Some secret.
