It's almost 6.15 am! I have not slept the whole day of 8 March 2008!

I am still up and eager waiting for the election results, live broadcast on TV. The wind of change have come to Malaysian politics. Just to sum up to until now with interesting facts and observations;

- BN unable to get 2/3 majority in Parliment but just a simple majority.
- The oppositions captured the State Legislative Council (DUN)of Penang, Selangor, Kedah, Perak and like always Kelantan.
- This also means the appointment of the chief ministers will be a headache if the oppositions are not ready on this collectively.
- Many parties presidents and also incumbent cabinet ministers lost their seats
- Johor, a strong hold of BN has now oppositions in their yards.
- Family politics (father and son or mother and daughter) very obvious this time around.
- Parties conventions from now on will be very heaty!
- Voices in Parliment, obviously will be louder!
- The amount of coverage through medias and campaign posters is no longer a measure to determine a win.
- The emergence of different set of voters are now here. The deafening silence is now is loud and clear.
- BN won the war but lost the battle. Nothing to be proud of if they are to match the benchmark they have created.
- Democracy in Malaysia is alive and kicking!

The people speaks! The signal has been sent, loud and clear. It is a tsunami election.
