Interesting times...

Anwar claims to have his 31 MPs who are willing to join his ship. The whole country is so taken up by this political sandiwara that is unfolding before our eyes... so much so that the implications of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the difficulty faced by AIG in the US have not really sunken in. The world's biggest economy is sputtering and we are still trying to tie up our loose ends here..

Well, will Anwar be able to bring Malaysia to another level where at least there is some semblance of real justice, fairness, equality, transparency and integrity? Will racial politics be transformed into Malaysian politics? Will every citizen be colour blind? Are we seeing the last of communal politics? One can actually get giddy just thinking of the possibilities. I'd like to think so but it's still a long haul. Like I said in one of my earlier posts, I never imagined I'd see it in my lifetime but there seems to be hope now.

The seeds of mistrust that each race have for each other were sown eons ago and the roots are deep. Things are not going to change overnight but this change is necessary. For too long we've practised this double standard....really getting giddy reading all the news.

Note:
The gahmen is not walking their talk. 15th has come and gone. Still no review of oil prices. The collapse of Lehman brothers has sent prices of oil reeling below USD$95 per barrel. Still no announcement of price reduction for us. PM too busy trying to keep his ship from sinking so no time to look into this, I supposed.
