A new Merdeka for Malaysia??

Perhaps it'll be a new dawn for Malaysia as the much awaited results of today's by-election reaches the millions of Malaysian who were eagerly glued to their TVs, their radios, and their computers to get the latest on the Permatang Pauh by-election.
The people of Permatang Pauh were king makers for a day and both sides tried their outmost to woo the people with all sorts of promises. But one party seemed to have delved into dirty politics with all sorts of slanderous accusation ranging from corruption to sodomy. But in the end those accusations seemed to have failed to sway the voters as they showed that they have the brains to differentiate truth from falsehood, such as the allegations that a 60 year old could rape a 23 year old man, 6 times!!!!! Here's the election result breakdown

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (parti Keadilan Rakyat): 31,195

Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah (Barisan National) : 15,524

Hanafi Mamat (AKIM) : 92

Majority : 15,671

Winner : Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ( PKR)

Now to sit back and witness what might be a change in the government of Malaysia come September 16th.
after 51 years of a mono-party rule, perhaps it is time for a change, if we never try we will never know.

MALAYSIA BOLEH!
