More important than sending a man into space · Mar 10, 03:35 PM by Andrew Tan

The subject I have chosen for this post is probably one of the most apt one-line summary of the Malaysian elections that I have come across thus far. I quote the last 4 paragraphs from this article:

On Saturday, Malaysia went through a historic moment more important than sending a man into space.

It was momentous not because it had given the opposition its biggest mandate. It was significant not because it denied Barisan Nasional its routine two-thirds majority. It was meaningful not because it was a peaceful transition.

But it was historic because Malaysians have come of age and broke away from their communal fears to vote away from racial lines.

The rakyat are used to promises to end corruption, provide transparency and to help the poor regardless of race before. Hopefully, PKR will keep theirs.
