Dawn of a New Age
The Malaysian elections has ended, results are out, and the outcome is just beyond expectations! 5 states have received favor from the opposition, which includes Penang, Selangor, Kelantan,, Kedah and Perak. The impact of this round’s elections is no doubt huge, even affecting the Malaysian Stock Market!
What lies ahead for Malaysia will be revealed soon as the respective Chief Ministers are sworn in and the new government is formed! Penang has already made their first step when the new CM Lim Guan Eng announced waivers for summonses involving hawker licences and parking offences issued before March 11. Lim also promised that open tenders will be held for all state government procurement and contracts, adding that an online portal will be set up where information on tender bids would be posted for all to see.
Elsewhere in PAS led Kedah, changes may or may not be favourable to the people as hotels and entertainment outlets are already making “adjustments†they deem necessary to suit the unprecedented political environment here. Will the state take on a Muslim oriented ‘makeover’? Some Chinese traders are confident that nothing much will be changed.
Whatever the changes may be, it will be something fresh to look forward to, let’s hope the wisemen of our country have learned something from this election, and start doing more RIGHT and give the people a better life! Let’s hope Malaysia Boleh! this time round!
