Malaysia Glows

There you go. Y.A.B Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad being sworn in as Malaysia's 7th Prime Minister by His Majesty, D.Y.M.M. Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agong Malaysia.

The supporting crowd outside the Palace was unbelievable. They stood there for hours, cheering on PH, chanting "Hidup Tun", sang patriotic songs and it was simply so Malaysian! Our beautiful people of different races, ethnicities, cultures and beliefs were in a euphoric state.

Although I was far away from the world and Earth, but I guess that is how those Malaysians must've felt when Malaysia obtained independence from the British in 1957 on the 31st August.

Indeed a proud and emotional moment for Malaysians as the most astounding man is sworn in as our Leader. To us, he is the Leader who is here to repair, revive and roar Malaysia back to being the Asian Tiger it once was.

It was an intense election. And it could have gone either way. I'm just so thankful that there was no bloodshed or an aftermath, as we had thought. And I am so thankful, that the Best Man Won!

Prime Minister of Malaysia

Meet Tun Dato' Seri Dr Mahathir Mohammad - the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

This is the great Man who led Malaysia to it's glorious days back then as the 4th Prime Minister, and is now back as the 7th PM to rescue this lovely country from a regimen that tore us to an almost depressing level of darkness.

Today, history is created in Malaysian politics as this is the 1st time the ruling party has been overshadowed and overpowered. And overthrown? Yes, Tun's Party Pakatan Harapan won the 14th General Elections. And this living legend will also go down in history as the oldest leader in the world at the age of 93.

As Malaysians called it during the month long election campaigns, the Tsunami Rakyat. A lovely sweep across Malaysia. Look at the number of States that PH managed to win over BN in my previous posts. Incredible, to say the least.

I am so happy, I can't even speak. This is surreal. Yes, as I mentioned in one of my previous post, Malaysians WILL wake up on Thursday morning, the 10th of May to a new and fresh government.
For those of you who never had the chance of being a Malaysian while Tun ruled, well here's your chance now.

Tun will be sworn in as the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia by His Royal Highness, The Yang DiPertuan Agong on the morning of 10th May 2018.

Tun will be Prime Minister till Dato Seri Anwar takes over.

Alhamdulillah, there shall be no more corruption, no more filthy politics, no more kleptocracy, no more GST and so so much more!

We're back on track. And it's all thanks to this Great Man whom I love and respect with every fiber of my being!

Alhamdulillah and a huge thanks to all PH leaders and supporters for this historical moment.

Rise and shine, Rakyat! It's finally here.

This is the day we decide how the next 5 years is going to be for all of us Malaysians.

It's my daughter's 1st time at the polling station and she's incredibly excited to be able to do so. That mark on her finger, is the symbol of democracy in Malaysia. Yes, it's flooding all over social media - Malaysians showing off their coloured finger as soon as they got off the polling booths.

There are 2 types of blues standing against each other. Dark blue and light blue. Make the right choice and pick the right one!

Today, also marks the 1st election for my best friend Hamed as a resident of Malaysia. I'm so so happy to be able to share this experience with him. We've been to so many campaigns together and he really got so absorbed in the whole election spirit. Although he's not allowed to vote... yet, we share the same interest for the same Party that we want to win.

And tonight as we await the final outcome of the results, which will be announced in stages leading up to the climax of the final outcome where we'll know which Party wins, he will be our companion here at home and we'll be binge watching movies throughout the night while checking on the updates.

It'll be fun. And if Tun Mahathir is declared as our new Prime Minister on the 10th May 2018, we are going to celebrate that victory on the Sahara desert, haha.

So, check in back later!

Bapa-Bapa Malaysia

Here's the list in chronological order, the Men who served Malaysia as Prime Ministers since 1957.

And with the GE14 just around the corner with less than a week to go, the question on everyone's head is: "Could this be the end of Barisan Nasional".
While the majority of Malaysians are also saying "This should be the end of Barisan Nasional".

Just for the record to those who don't know, the Barisan Nasional (BN) Party has ruled Malaysia since our independence in 1957. That's 60 years.

BN comprises of 3 main component parties - UMNO United Malays National Organisation,
MCA Malaysian Chinese Association and MIC Malaysian Indian Congress.

I grew up only knowing Barisan Nasional and Tun M as our Prime Minister - since I was in school. Those were the good days, with a patriotic bland of Malays, Chinese and Indians who ran the government - the 3 main races of Malaysia. Good times. Peace. Our country just kept on flourishing (especially under the leadership of Tun Mahathir) and went on to be one of the fastest developing country in Asia!

I had always been a staunch supporter of BN. Initially, because it was the best party around. Which it truly was! Even during the GE13, I cheered on for BN's victory. At that point, it was probably because big questions come to mind - especially whether the opposition party was capable of leading Malaysia harmoniously if they won. It was more of an 'autoplay' thing. To support BN.

That was 5 years ago. And too much has happened in a span of those 5 years which has prompted me to question myself over and over again. It's kindoff sial, you know what I'm saying? Yes, the last 5 years, too many unpleasant events had happened in this awesome, beautiful country. I'll leave ya guys to know what I'm getting at.

Malaysia is one of the most unique and blessed countries in the world. And I'm not saying that just because I'm a Malaysian. Many MANY foreigners will attest to that too. But now, we are on the world map very often - but for all the wrong reasons. And it's painful to see!

Therefore, enough is enough. I never thought I'd say this, but Malaysia needs a new government. One to lead us back on track and right all the wrongs that had been going on for many years now.

And this is the Man I'd like to see back at Sri Perdana, Putrajaya once again. He's 93 years old and he's the most brilliant man I know, who reminds me so much of my own Father.

Yes, Malaysia and Malaysians need Tun Dr Mahathir to salvage this country from any further damages. And never let his age fool you. He's just as smart as he used to be. I have so much respect for him. And very soon I certainly hope to be able to say that Tun Dr Mahathir is our Prime Minister! InsyaAllah.

And if it's fated that the R.A.H.M.A.N (Tunku Abdul Rahman, Abdul Razak, Hussin Onn, Mahathir Mohammad, Abdullah Badawi, Najib Razak) era comes to and end this GE14, then may a M.A.H.A.T.H.I.R era begin - and it starts with Tun Dr Mahathir! InsyaAllah, Amin.
