Malaysia general election - the day after

Staying up in church today was a struggle - like others, I slept at 3am to watch the BN humiliation as it unfolds. 5 states lost? Heh - that’s what you get if place so many sombong bodoh YBs in your line-up.

The buzzword in the Malaysian blogosphere now is “political tsunami” and I’m just disappointed that the winds of change completely passed us by. What happened to us dear Sabahans? We have no voice in the opposition now, only 2 ah? Christina Liew lost by a mere 174 votes, of which postal votes won it for Yee.

Watching the debate on TV1/TV3 election coverage last night was disgusting. Only BN wins were posted up, all the wins especially from Penang was announced only later. As usual, you get faster news from the web.

And whenever BN loses, all the panels said was “that place has a majority of non-malays”, that’s why BN lost.

Emm excuse me sir, this is 2008. People vote for the political ideology and they stayed away from the BN because of their failure to hear the people’s grouses. Personally, I voted for a chinese candidate yesterday and I’m not chinese. Surprising? No.
