New MBs

Last saturday , in 12th Malaysian election , opposition win big with take over 5 states from the rulling party(BN). Such thing is first time in Malaysian history.

Now , newly win Opposition in process to name new MBs in Kelantan , Kedah , Penang , Perak and Selangor . Many political observers sated that , oppositions able to win big because of their election promises . Promises are:

• more transparency
  
• equal rites among all citizens
• release judiciary system from political influence
  
• release 5 ISA detained leaders
• respect minority ethnic citizens
• more subsidies for education and oil
  
• take care of Indian ethic citizens(includes many aspect)

Today is the 3rd day after election , and all the political party still in the first step of forming state and federal government . But non-malay voters already acquiring about what the opposition they vote for can do for them base one of the promise by Oppositions ,"equal rites" and "more chances for Malaysain Indians". Out of five states win by the government , MB for three states already annouched . Kelantan=MB from PAS , Kedah=MB from PKR , and for sure Penang=MB from DAP .

The question since yesterday , are they any Indian MB will be appointed in Perak or Selangor from PKR,DAP or PAS . But today all of Malaysian been tell that only a Malay(Bumiputra) can be MB for state which ruled by Sultan(King of a state) , this statement done base on Malaysia's constitution. This statement clearly answer the question asked by the Malaysian Indians . Again Malaysian Indians pushed aside by useless Malaysian Constitution which been structured by British government when independence .

I understand , we Malaysian Indians only 8% in this country and not should hope for big demands in short period from newly elected Oppositions. But im here want to stress that even tho Malaysian Indian only 8% but they capable of doing big difference . This capability proven in last Saturday election , They united under name of Makkal Sakti , and join others plural base parties(PKR and DAP) and PAS to sweep off ruling government's 2/3 majority which they hold since independence .

Malaysian Indians and other voters now waiting to see what are changes can be done by elected oppositions . Or is that will be old story as arrogant BN era or worst? Time need to answer this questions .
