After the 308 political tsunami, malaysia has had a new political landscape. People had made their choice to deliver the clear message : they want a change, they want a new malaysia!
Though the current political landscape's changes might have been creating a certain level of social instability and insecurity, due to the political power hunting game among the two political partisan, there were mix cum complicated feelings and the divided opinion among the 'rakyat'.
The ordinary street man may seek of stability whereby the country's economy keep on growing robustly and they have their current jobs secured; while those affluent groups may hope to see the stock market stop to go south and the foreign investors still continue to invest in Malaysia. Those businessmen may wish to see the current political conflicts ending faster because they are seeking for certainty of the future economic outlook. While there are a group of 'New Malaysians', mostly consist of young people who only have one thing in their minds, that is "the urgency of change" .
The emergence of the internet and its constant, revolutionary cum disruptive transformation have played a critical role to portrait the current political scenario in the country. The people ever since have a better insights towards democracy, they have higher quality of expectation towards their Parliament Members, and more importantly they want to say "enough, enough, enough" towards the corruption among the politicians, burgeoning criminal cases, higher inflation, limited employment opportunities and diversity.
On the issue of whether Malaysia is heading onto the right track given the current development, there were pro and cons among the 'Rakyat'.
Are people of Malaysia have the enough wisdom and ready to take the risk to create a new chapter for the history of Malaysia?
