The different 2008

It’s been a while I didn’t blog since the last post 2 months ago. Time blinks so fast that it’s already end of 2008. In a few days we are going to welcome 2009.

Currently, juggling my time between work and personal stuffs has been really hard. Working at the new place with new portfolio has been more challenging ever. And the preparation for the training overseas has laden my brains with more things to settle in advance.

Back to local political scene, this time of the year is the best to recap what has happened for the past one year. We have seen the biggest political tsunami in history that swept across the Peninsular Malaysia which changes the political geography. We have seen how BN stronghold was demolished by the alternative alliance of PKR, DAP and PAS. Although all of them have different ideology, still they formed an alliance for the first time in Malaysian history to reduce the menacing power of BN.

We have seen after 308 how other BN componential parties start questioning UMNO on their rights, benefits and races related issues. We witnessed how a few tribal leaders seek for premature de-coronation from their top post, taking full responsibility of their parties’ huge loss in the election.

We have also seen in UMNO, how Pak Lah has been pursued to make way for his successor through rounds of UMNO negotiations. Then, some faces emerged to become race champions by making racist remarks on other races. We have seen some new faces making their debut, replacing the fallen villains in 308. The son of ex-PM rises will soon destined to replace the soon faded son-in-law of current PM. We have also witnessed Mat Tyson making a comeback to the ring after years of retreat away.

Not forgetting the MCA hardcore AV star, who was out earlier this year after his famous AV, making a strong comeback to stardom powered by viagra. He is such a lucky opportunist.

Anyway, we have also witnessed the biggest electoral comeback in the history located in Permatang Pauh in which DSAI easily won defeating the other candidate with huge victory. Now, He might have failed to achieve his dream of taking over the parliament but the uproar from the people for change has never died down.

Not forgetting, those who are caught by the guard dogs of BN and put inside the various jails and Kamunting for some decisions ridiculed by BN. Standing ovation to RPK for his enduring state of mind against the misjustice done on him.

Not forgetting fellow bloggers out there who add the sugar and salt to the political scene of the country. Malaysia definitely will be different next year, as 2008 pulls its curtain down.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
