Recent ISA arrests that totally lacked judgement raises questions as to the rationale of it all. Why had they arrested these 3 people based on loose accusations, knowing very well that the repercussions will be immense?

I believe that this was done to divert attention from the planned September 16 takeover by the PR alliance. With the attention now diverted, there is less focus on wooing crossovers from the BN MPs.

Unfortunately, the ISA theatrics have put the final nail in Badawi's coffin. With large groups even within his own UMNO party deserting him, his position has become more and more untenable and his tenure as PM is coming to an early end. In addition, the cohesion of BN component parties is suspect following this fiasco.

We are at the verge of a change in Government after 51 years of BN rule. Will they go quietly or will all hell break loose? As we hold our breath for this historic political change, we hope that Malaysia in general gains.

Much resources have been wasted as we slide behind previously poorer neighbours. Accusations of corruption and mismanagement is not without basis although much has been ignored.

It is time to stop the rot. Malaysia needs to progress as a nation of multiple races. We are here to build Malaysia. Harboring ill feelings about other races will only damage Malaysia. For Malaysia to be great, we should all see beyond the colours of our skins. Fighting just for your race, like Ahmad Ismail, will only stall Malaysia from reaching greatness.

One lasting impression for Malaysians to savour is the moment when Lee Chong Wei kissed the Malaysian flag upon winning. Now this is what we need to focus on. Making Malaysia great.
