The Day of History

I am definitely not the politic person, but I do care about things and issues.

First it was May 08, 2008. Malaysia's election showed a new era - 4 previously BARISAN NASIONAL states were taken over by opposition party. Well I must say it is pretty impressive that people does know how to show their interest and faith as well as confidence in changing the old and faded look with that vote in hand. The country has been independent from British Colonial for 51 years and had never been into such phase of change. The state I am residing now is one of the daring states.

Then, it is today November 05, 2008 (well, to be precise it's 4th Nov 2008 in the States). Barack Obama won the Presidential election. For the first time in history, the race issue has break the barrier and the people of United States show the world - WE HAVE MARCHED OUT FROM THE OLD DAYS AND FACING THE NEW ERA!

I have never been to the States before, but the stories about how that country went through everything are definitely no stranger to anyone. I might not really understand how the Americans see their country and what's the face of the world in their eyes. But I do know that deep down inside, we all are the same - Every single person has their right to show their heart. And everyone knows: together we can make a difference.

The new day has come. Show the love and faith and hold one another's hands - we are the new world, a world without racism but only unity!

CONGRATULATIONS to all of the Americans, you've shown how big your ambition, tolerance, understanding and most of all, your heart!
