There are times when we see and keep quiet. There are times when see and voice out. There are also times when we see, voice out and act. This is one of them, we saw, we voiced and we acted.

For those who have casts your votes, congratulations, as you have fulfilled your duty as a citizen and as a righteous human, whichever you voted for. The events of the unravelling of the votes counted yesterday were both exciting as well as a little worrying. The big excitement came when the opposition started to gain a lot of hot seats as well as gaining the seats they needed to construct the state government in the respective states. The worrying came when the opposition are gaining more and more seats at an unpredicted rate.

The big excitement was so intense as unofficial reports that one state by one state is being taken by the opposition and big names has been defeated here and there. The greater comfort came as unofficial reports state that the ruling party is denied of its two third majorities.

Worries came to mind when the heat is uncontrollable as the oppositions keeps gaining seats, defeating many big names in the MCA, MIC and the Gerakan. The worries is not of what the SMS has been sent out but of another worry but that the opposition may still have not the ability to rule and take more than half of the total seats to become the ruling party. However said that, with this win and determination, what the opposition needs now is to show their ability in showing improvements in the states that they will be governing. I believe that if this is done well, they will continue to win more seats in the future unless the ruling party learns how to listen to the nation’s voice and not their tummy or the voice in their tummy.

To have the opposition gaining more than one third of the seats was great as this will ensure all matters are thoroughly looked into and managed wisely especially those dealing with the nation and its citizens. This also means that the transparency of the government might just be achieved. We deserve to know what is happening and also I believe many would like to know how the parliament meetings are being conducted and what are the issues debated during these meetings, in all its details, even video footages.

The future now lies in the elites of the nation who knows what is best as the nation is becoming more and more knowledgeable rather than looking back to the past and feels threatened in any ways. The new generation knows what is right and wrong as well as the truth. The eyes opened, the voices heard and the actions spoke!

To be a part of history, voted, refreshed malasiakini.com every other second and glued to the idiot black box while waiting for the slow announcement of the results is exhilarating. I guess the beers last Friday was an early celebration nonetheless, a celebration to a wiser and better nation, a multiracial nation.
