MARCH 8, 2008: Let's make a difference!

My friends,

It is time to make a choice! Let's all go to the polls tomorrow and VOTE!

Let's not be afraid to vote and make the change. A change towards a betterment of our quality of life, greater civil liberties and freedom. We need to think the beyond race and embrace each other as valuable human beings and live together in that right. Hence, I will be going to the polls tomorrow as a Malaysian - not Chinese, but a Rakyat Malaysia.

We must think beyond the local issues of the "longkangs", the roads and whatever local problems we may have - these are not the problems - these are merely symptoms of a much bigger problems that needs to be resolved at the higher level - at the level of our Parliament. It is there where laws and policies that needs to be formulated to address problems at the root.

For too long, we have had people in the Parliament that allowed power to go their heads and arrogance without bounds. If we viewed the laws and amendments to the Constitution that has been done over the past 50 years - few of them have the interest of the people at heart. We are all familiar with the issues and I need not elaborate here.

The message is clear: Change is NECESSARY. It is necessary, and timely for a change in government. If we cannot achieve that, we should at least vote in a strong opposition to enable effective check and balance. We have the power and should exercise that power to make the change.

Let's do it! Let's do it without fear, anger or malice.

Let's do it for the love of our country, our home!
