The General Elections

The ruling government, BN (Barisan Nasional) went in with confidence, thinking that they can retain the majority easily. But they didn't count on the strong resistance from the opposition and the people this time round. Several states- Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor fell to the opposition. I myself was surprised by this result. I thought that BN would march into easy victory again!

Support for BN is still strong in the eastern states of Sabah and Sarawak though. (They should thank the people in these 2 states!) *Hint...maybe more development in Sarawak? *cough

Maybe this is the wake-up call the Malaysian government needed....to be more sensitive to the people's needs.
