GE14 was held last week, and for the first time in Malaysia, BN is no longer the ruling coalition. BN has fallen. That's something I believe all Malaysians, including me, have always wanted to see, but never thought could happen so soon.
I went back to Penang on Tuesday to vote on Wednesday and came back to Kuching on Thursday. When that stupid EC put the election on Wednesday, which was a stupid idea which I believed angered a lot of people and thus brought people out en masse to vote BN out, I quickly bought my air tickets and tell myself it is time for me to be part of the society to topple BN.
And damn well I did. My first vote in my life is part of the historic vote that toppled BN.
It's something really incredible. I was very sceptical BN would lose, because Pakatan needed at least an additional 25 seats to be the government, and I just didn't think the people's uprising is enough to swing that much from BN to them.
I was wrong.
Pakatan Harapan is now the government.
Malaysia is reborn. Malaysians received the news with stunning elation.
Anyway, it remains to be seen how PH would govern the country. I am sceptical of how long they could hold, as PPBM is basically an UMNO 2.0 that fell out with UMNO.
But at least now PH is given a chance to govern, voters can judge for themselves whether PH or BN can rule better, instead of relying on BN's ridiculous words that PH cannot govern even though they were never given a chance to prove they couldn't.
Anyway, GE14 is historic, and all Malaysians should remember the day. I'm happy.
