A Peoples' Victory - more than a Pakatan Rakyat victory..

The myth was broken in March when GE2008 results was announced..

What was previously unthinkable happened.... i.e. Selangor fell to the Opposition, Penang fell to the Opposition, Perak fell to the Opposition (There was no real surprise about the fall of Kedah - it has been expected for a long time...shocking was the fact that Trengganu did not fall).

All Malaysians have grown up thinking and believing that no one other than the Barisan Nasional can rule Malaysia...and that is what is falling...falling...and we may be seeing soon Malaysia being ruled by not an UMNO-led coalition, not the Barisan Nasional, .... Malaysia will be ruled by a new coalition of parties called Pakatan Rakyat come September 16.

This is and will be a great moment in the life of Malaysia - gone will be the myth that no one other than the BN can rule.

Gone too will be the myth that we need race based parties to be the base of any political coalitions..

Gone will be the myth that without the UMNO-MCA-MIC partnership, there will be chaos and trouble in multi-racial, multi-religious Malaysia..

Now, it will be really good if the BN (as it was) or the reformed BN remains there, so that Malaysians will always have at least TWO options - the Pakatan Rakyat on one side, and the Barisan Nasional in the other.

The people will then be victors - and we can look forward to politicians and political parties (or coalitions) labouring and performing their best for the good of the people of Malaysia - always worried that a less than their best effort may lead to their defeat in the coming General Elections.

It shall be a peoples' victory - not a victory of political parties or political coalitions.
