Maybe it's the economy, ongoing discrimination, crime, corruption and inefficiency for the sake of 'equality.' Maybe Obama's charismatic drive for change in the US and the use of Web 2.0 to reach the next generation of voters has hit home in Malaysia as well. Maybe many 'new' voters (incl. graduates and oversees returnees like me) have realized that their votes do count. May the Malaysian government heed the voice of the people - and any winning opposition prove worthy of the people's trust!
I look forward to the winds of change in Penang... Let's also hope for the best and keep a close eye on events in Perak, Selangor, KL and Kedah (where opposition coalition parties have won and will be growing through their teething pains).
