I am no Obama fan... but don't get me wrong, I don't hate him in anyway. It was just that McCane was more convicing through his experience and background as an ex-service man in military and many terms of an senator. That's assessment from meritocracy and experience point of view.

However, in time of such an economy melt down, people fear for further erosion into their livelihood and have a bigger dream to change in the best interest of a more secure future. Thus, people choose to CHANGE, and I respect the outcome.

In Malaysia, similarly, the country was not administered accordingly and many unfair policies and rules being practised. You can even find some of it in constitution, which by right should seek to protect and treat all citizen fairly. With the situation we have here, though a single group of politicians/leaders claimed to have experience in running the country, the country remain going south in many fronts.

There is not wrong to change, so we ought to change the government, change the policies, change the rules, and ammend the constitution for better and fairer baseline in administering this nation.

I think Obama win is inspirational not the least because he is black, or because he is Democrat, but because he obtained a landslide, meaning those people whom the rest of the world have given up on at the rust belt actually voted for him despite being conservative. What it does is to send the following message:

1) it is not the people's fault if a bad government gets elected - all you need is a sufficiently inspirational leader or set of leaders to persuade them to support you, and

2) the worse kinds of electorate could be turned over to support a just cause.

This augurs well for Malaysia. We Malaysians have for far too long believe that rural Malays are a lost cause - easily bought by the message of Malay supremacy and continuation of NEP and how UMNO is their sole defender.

What the Pakatan Rakyat need is a collection of unified charismatic leaders to go to the grounds, inspire the young, and persuade the rural Malays to another point of view- one that is in harmony with the rest of right thinking Malaysians. Once that's done, UMNO will forever lose its support and will finally undertake that long and painful journey at self reform, failing which they will never see the lights of the corridors of power ever again.

By the Penang UMNO's definition, Mr Barack Obama would be classified as a Pendatang or Penumpang or whatever. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya,where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British. (ref:
http://www.barackobama.com/learn/meet_barack.php)

To be a Presidential Candidate, the person's life history is laid bare for all to peruse. Even the genealogy of the person is well documented, and often dissected and sometimes abused by the competing candidates.

Yet, unknown to almost all of us, Malaysia has been there done that. We have had a rich Obama-ish political history too. Tun Mahathir's background, just from the angle of parentage and lineage, runs parallel to Mr Obama's. Mahathir's father was from India, who came over to Malaysia to seek his fortune, I assume. Mahathir's rise to the apex of power here in Malaysia is well-known to us, but unlike Obama, we hardly ever knew his background.

Obama is not Michael Jackson; he did not go to the extent of de-pigmentation of his skin, and to reconstruct his face in order to fit in. Well, Mahathir didn't do any of that too. But that is where the differences start.

Obama is proud to be what he is, and he holds high respect for his mixed parentage. He does not mind having to check the little box that says "African American", each time he has to filled out a form. And he is damn proud to be known as an American first and foremost.

Mahathir, on the other hand, conveniently forgets his father's lineage. He is quick to call himself a Malay. Not that we begrudge him that but he is also more interested to be known as a Malay champion first and foremost, rather than as a champion of all Malaysians. What's so wrong with identifyng ourselves only as MALAYSIANS?

Well, to be fair to Mahathir, under it all he probably maintains strong ties to India. How else do we explain the some of the 'Malays' look more tan than even those in South India? But they call themselves 'Malay' wor, even though their command of Bahasa Malaysia is at the very best, only as good as mine ( I 'secured' a grade 8 - Pass - in my old MCE, equivalent to the current Form 5 SPM).

To get to the top of the heap in America you work for it to prove your worth. Parentage doesn't matter as long as you are a naturalized citizen. To get to the top of the pile in Malaysia, you have to work on it to disprove your parentage. Proof of your worthiness is not important.

He of all people will understand the frustration and anger that we the majority felt. America not too long ago was also very racist.

To those still in doubt or too lazy to seek out Wikipedia in the internet, here are excerpts about our “beloved” former & present Prime Ministers of our country called “Malaysia”.

Mahathir was born on 10 July 1925, in Alor Star, the capital of the northern state of Kedah,[8] the youngest of nine children[9] of a schoolteacher and a housewife. His father, Mohamad Iskandar, was of half-Indian origin, being the son of a Malayalee Muslim (who migrated from Kerala) and a Malay mother, while Mahathir's own mother, Wan Tampawan, was Malay.

Abdullah Badawi was born in Kepala Batas, Penang to a prominent religious family. His father, Ahmad Badawi, was a prominent religious figure and UMNO member. Badawi's paternal grandfather is Syeikh Abdullah Badawi Fahim, who was one of the founding members of Hizbul Muslimin, later known as PAS. Syeikh Abdullah Badawi Fahim was also a famous nationalist and first mufti of Penang after Independence.[1] His maternal grandfather, Ha Su-chiang (also known as Hassan), was a Chinese Muslim who came from Sanya in Hainan.

So, again I repeat, what’s the big deal about these United States of America FINALLY having a non Whilte President, as it sure took them long enough after 232 years & 111 days to get there???

In Malaysia, we got a non Malay Prime Minister in just 23 years. The Americans should be the one doing the congratulating for our “non racist” feat in such short period of time!

a)Strong administration & rule of law (and judiciary) with good educational institutions all laid out by the departing British at the time of Merdeka.
b)Natural resources :tin, rubber, palm oil and petroleum.(which will keep us afloat but just)until the last runs out in 2025

My fellow American friend, here in KL and everywhere else,

Greetings from Malaysia!

Like many, I was also glued to CNN trying to track Election 2008. I count it a privilege that I can witness the euphoric celebrations after the results were announced last night. The defining outcome of the Election 2008 permeates not just American frontier land but also the deep recesses of nations far beyond American shores. I am compelled to share this moment of history, albeit, only a distant perspective from outside, the ringside.

Granted that Malaysia did not, unlike Kenya , declare a public holiday to commemorate Obama’s momentous victory, the festive mood was and still is invigorating, to say the least. Yesterday, a journalist rightly asked our Prime Minister, “Is it possible for a non-Malay to be Malaysia ’s Prime Minister, one day?” Obama has put into reality MLK’s oft repeated quote that one day America would be able to judge its people not by the color of their skin but the content of its character. Yesterday, the day arrived.

America has breached that high racial barricade within such a short span of time. A day that is still a lingering dream for many in other lands. The 44th presidential election affirmed that America does not see people from that a skewed prism of race, anymore. I find it quite unbelievable when just 4 decades ago, a black seamstress, Rosa Parks, had to contend with giving up her bus seat to fellow white passenger. And I particularly like what one American rapper echoed the change of events so eloquently, “Rosa Parks sat, Martin Luther King Jr. walked so that Barrack Obama can run.” Now I understand, just last niight, why Colin Powell was so sentimental in his reflection of Obama’s win, why Jesse Jackson shared tears and why Condoleezza Rice oozed a most unassuming but composed confidence. And why fellow Americans party all nite, all across the nation.

To all my fellow American friend, thank you for teaching us the intrinsic meaning of unity in diversity!. I cannot fathom a better way of closing the circle. Certainly, you have set a torrid pace, a tall order, for all of us in other nations to follow. I am amazed, still dazed, yet I am happy for America. You have modeled an exemplary community which says come, there is a place for all beings, irrespective of race or creed. Yes, I marvel at the way you guys re-invent yourself, not just yesterday but continually; though still mired in the doldrums of a financial meltdown, there is still a greater cause for celebration!

God bless America!

Yes, Obama won the support of 53% of the people with his message of change. I know it sounds so amazing. Yet, we need to keep in mind that 46% of the people thought McCain was the better candidate. Also, the tide turned for Obama when Wall Street and the economy went into a tailspin. People are afraid and voted for change. Yet, it is unclear that Obama could have prevented the Wall Street crisis. The problems are definitely not caused by any one person, nor could they be prevented by any one person. I believe that the ultimate cause is definitely long term in making, probably relating to the lifestyle of debt and deficits exercised by all level of US government and the consumers. With Obama's promises and what his party stands for, it is definitely not going to reduce the national debt. Wall Street banking failures and sub prime mortgage crisis can be linked to policies of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae which were supervised by the Democrats controlling the House and the Senate. Chris Dodd and Barney Frank were the Democrats in charged of the banking commitees. As Democrats, they people that home ownership should be expanded to more people, and would do everything to make it happen. Guess who were the largest recipient of Fannie Mae donations? Chris Dodd and Barrack Obama. Like Malaysia, the mainstream media is slanted. In this case, they are mostly for Obama. Could Obama have won on his own merits, and without the ill timed Wall Street crisis?

A leader's ability to make changes has to start with his policy, beliefs, rationality and ideas as expoused in his speaches and writings. It is very indicative! History has always shown that with great leadership comes great performance and vice versa.

I watched Bush 'good english' and well-rehearsed past speeches and views and like the majority of Americans and talk shows, concluded that he is an half-wit, half-bake and semi-retarded President long before he start damaging the whole world with his actual performance. He talks like a snake-oil salesman. Many consider him to be the worst President ever in the history of America!

I watched Obama's speeches and what are written of him by other American leaders, and easily recognises the potentially superb leadership in him. John McCain was good, but was no where near. His choice of Sarah Palin as VP was a joke and the idiotic views shown in her moronic speeches and interviews damaged MaCain's campaign no end. How you talk shows!

Of course, no change is guaranteed in the world even with a great person leading, but with a leader like Obama, there is hope, and with hope real change is possible. If you followed Obama's election campaign from winning the democratic party nomination to winning the presidential election, you will see a clear demonstration of his world class leadership qualities in his ability to think, plan and organise, His performance is simply amazing. So, in his case, it is not just a matter of populism.

Our local examples of leaders with the qualities to make changes that can reverse our dire situations would include DSAI, YB RPK and Zaid Ibranim. Many other leaders in the opposition camp are good, but their composite leadership qualities and their ability to air views with balanced thoughts are not as pronoun. The BN too have some leaders of great calibre, but immersed in the rotting system, they will not survive if they try to make significant changes. Let's watch...and hope for now.

Congratulations to Obama?

I don't think we have to.
What colour he is. He has same ideology/religion just like Bush & other crap of White American.
Promoting unfair democracies. Unfair Fiscal policy (It's Fallacy & now failed).
Did history have this kind of recession at 1997 before 1971? (Before fiat money existed)
Their theories for politic & economics are failed. U just about to see now & what will happen next year. Its a Darwinism economics.

As long as unbalance power & hipocrates Muslim country exist. American will send those 3rd World Countries to the 4th World Countries. They will dig sources from 'em and put 1000-years debts interest on em. Then U will see the world must follow everything that fallacy (systems they invented) that drag down the entire world to sink with 'em.

Thats all what U want?

What is changes political in Malaysia won't effect entire world unless the politician brave enough to change those fallacy belief systems (politic, economics, socials & etc)from our soveregnity.

So let me ask u a favour to see what happened:

1. Before 1921
2. Before WW1
3. Before WW2
4. Before 1971

And now we get what have those American & European did.

Thanks have a nice reading.

If BO is not already tainted, his tainting has begun. He receives the same briefing everyday that Bush receives from the CIA. I presume that this must also involve facts about the bombing of Pakistan and Syria where the sovereignty and territorial dignity of nations are trampled underfoot and villagers killed as collateral damage. Those who claim they are against the evil of ISA must also weigh these evils in their conscience. Otherwise you are as tainted as BO.
