Anwar - Road to Parliament

A great fight took place in Permatang Pauh yesterday as our former DPM took his first steps toward the gate of parliament.

The by-election was announced a roughly a month ago, together with its nomination day before the actual date of the election.

The campaigns rolled off hot for 10 days as both parties sped to the vicinity of their constituency to secure as much votes as they could from the residents.

And eventually, what the people of Malaysia have hoped for, came true last night. Anwar emerged as winner with a majority of 15,000 votes over his challenger Arif Shah. He is likely to be sworn in as the Member of the Parliament in the House of Representative tomorrow.

Things will eventually come to an order in Malaysia. Victory is always with God as He prevails.

It's a definite thought for me to see transformation in Malaysia. As a christian, i believe God has His own timing on the designated person He places in our country.

The condition might not have to be as unendurable as we have to change the leadership of the country. In another context, I believe the triumph claimed by Anwar will serve as a warning to the habitually indolent.

Sadly, the Separation of Powers for the Parliamentary Government doesn't serve much purpose. The establishment of the 3 branches of the government, namely Executive, Legislative and Judicial is meant to ensure no crossing of power among the branches (especially Executive)that will bring about absolute dictation.

For the better and just governance, I hope Anwar will deliver a boost to the parliamentarians to maintain good service to the people of the nation.

Crisis

Press reported a statement from the Russian President accusing US for the world economic woes.

What has been called the Aggressive Financial Policies drawn by the Bush Administration has caused quakes to the world economic stabilisation. Following the issues of the economists failing to bring the balance to the country’s major impediment toward gradual economic growth, more problems occurred leading to repercussion of other continents.

When a country encounters problems, more often the people will suffer along. I don’t want to put all the blames onto the crisis we are facing now because of my failure in securing a job in Malaysia.

Returning from the UK gives me a brand new hope in my career path. On the contrary, the reality is not like this. Things seem to be far-fetched and I am not even a step closer to it.

Half way through my distressing thoughts, a flash of incidents suddenly took over. There are enough calamities happened around the world, and how come people often think about themselves first before offering their help to those who are desperately struggle to stay alive.

For once I thought it might be the end of the world since there were so many disasters happened in less than 2 weeks. It might be the sign of warning from God. Hopefully, God will continue to show his mercy to the living.

I am really hoping to see love after these incidents. Let the human race come to realise God’s love as the primary love he had for human when the ancestors of human race were created.
