Listen to the peoples’ merdeka message 

It is customary for our leaders to give their merdeka message to the people every year.

This year that marks the  51st.annivesary of our independence there seems to be a slight difference where the people instead, have in their own way, given their merdeka message to the leaders on two separate occasions, on March 8 and August 26.On both these occasions the message was the same.

On March 8 the people of all races sent a strong message to the Barisan Nasional(BN) government that they need change in the form of drastic reforms in the administration of the nation. The government promised to bring those reforms but the pace was too slow for their liking. Unfortunately instead of concentrating fully on realizing those reforms it was more preoccupied with internal party squabbles.
 
Five months later the rakyat in no uncertain terms have again cried out for those reforms that are badly needed, especially at a time of economic uncertainties, that have put tremendous strains on their budgets. Their plea came in the form of the just concluded Permatang Pauh by-election when the voters on behalf of the 27 million Malaysians expressed their displeasure once again by voting for the opposition. The resounding victory they gave the opposition is an indicator that the people are serious in their demands for change.
