A New Dawn For Malaysian

Well a new dawn has arrived and as the dust settles all Malaysians are waiting eagerly to see what's next. I guess it is not about how badly BN has lost in the 12th General Election but it is about what the Opposition will now do since the playing field is now more levelled than before. As many have said, the Opposition will now be closely monitored by the Rakyat and if they do not live up to their promises, the wind of change might happen again in the next General Election. In all instances, we the Rakyat have shown our displeasure with BN and now wants to see what the Opposition can do to change Malaysia for the betterment of all races.

BN has only themselves to blame for the major loss of support and confidence of the Rakyat. They must now lick their own wounds and pick themselves up to prove to the Rakyat they can deliver. Otherwise, by the next general election, they might become irrelevant altogether. Everybody deserves a second chance but just make sure it doesn't take another 50 years!

The Chinese and Indians and all other non Malays are not asking for any special privileges but just to be treated fairly in all aspects. Afterall, we together as one nation have been building this country since day one. That is why people are just asking for a fair share of the country's wealth. Throughout Malaysia only Sabah and Sarawak has not been affected by the wind of change. Perhaps there are reasons why the Rakyat in these States have voted for BN or perhaps the wind of change will only come later. Maybe the Rakyat are waiting to see how States like Penang, Selangor, Perak and Kedah will fair under the Opposition's rule. Perhaps during the next State Election for Sarawak or 13th General Election will the wind of change apply to Sabah and Sarawak. This also depends on how the current State Government for Sabah and Sarawak run their affairs of business from here on.

Sarawak has issues it must address and try to change. One such issue relates to Government Compulsory Acquisition. This issue affect everyone irregardless to race. In the Peninsular, any notices by the Government to acquire one's land automatically lasped/expire after two years. Only in Sarawak there are still lands which are under Section 47 Notices (Government Acquisition Notices) for more than 10 or even 20years. Therefore when the State Government acquire these lands, compensation are paid based on the Market Values of lands as at the Section 47 date. How sickening will that be when you as an investor was hoping to sell that piece of land later for your children's education? We think it is time people take note some changes needs to be done here.

Malaysia is a beautiful country and I am proud to be called a Malaysian. I believe in unity of all races and be acknowledged as a Malaysian only. Forget about being Malaysian Chinese, Indian or Bumiputra. All these thinking needs to be put on the back burner so that we can all prosper as one nation. The alarm clock has rung and we the Rakyat have shown what People's Power really meant. From here onwards, the political practice of all parties should take note that we the Rakyat are watching your every move.

Till then, have a good day and may be all be blessed with Peace and Prosperity
