Dawn of a new era? A new hope for Malaysia.

Anwar has today confirmed that he has sufficient MPs for a takeover of the Federal Government. It is hoped that the transition will be smooth.

Recent spate of gross misjudgements of the current BN Government was the straw that broke the camel's back. To date, there has been no clear reasons given for the arrests of the journalists or Teresa. Despite clear evidence that would absolve Teresa from any misconduct, the police has decided to ignore that but instead justified the arrest for the purposes of investigation.

Do we see any similiarities with Myanmar? On one hand, we are condemning the brutality of the military junta there, but on the other, we are doing exactly the same misdeed. Malaysia has lost all credibility in its human rights status. Detaining someone without a clear evidence but based on hearsay and the fancies of the ruling politicians, signifies a authoritarian regime.

The BN Government has lost its footing under Abdullah and his ministers, namely, Syed Hamid Albar and Najib Tun Razak. Frankly speaking, I fail to see any of these people continuing in their current positions. Abdullah has been silent on the ISA arrests and left the dirty job to Syed Hamid who clearly is clueless on what to say. UMNO in general has left its "allies" in the dark. MCA, MIC and Gerakan are obviously against the arrests. So when Syed Hamid mentioned about a Government decision, which Government is he referring to?

It was obviously an UMNO decision. UMNO stands alone in this, not the BN coalition government. It's a sinking battleship, with the captain defiantly holding on to its controls.

We await a new dawn for Malaysia, where all malaysians fight for Malaysia regardless of race, for the benefit of all.
