World changes as we sleep

Congratulations Obama on your victory. As a Malaysian i have wondered the possibility of such change to happen not just in the United States but in Malaysia as well. Hopefully your success would open the eyes of the Malaysians and give way to those who struggle to change this country for the better because of it's race dissimilarity practices.
Once upon a time. The words of Mahathir use to reach around the globe and create waves. Those times are over. Now even his words fail to attract the attention of news paper readers. Words from people like Anwar, Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh hardly scratch the almighty BN. By saying BN i actually mean UMNO. The rest of the component parties in BN have such little role to play in the governance of this country. The fact is when an Opposition MP stands up to argue his case in Parliament or in public, he has more than enough facts to back him but he is put down by the system of partiality. There is no point in shouting and protesting if that is the case. But there are many who still fights and fights this old system of discrimination for example Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh. They are true Malaysian who have showed their national sentiments greater than others. This men's could have left Malaysia if they wanted to with the talents they have. 2 million Chinese and 6 hundred thousand Indians have migrated from Malaysia in this past 20 years. Professionals and capable people who could have build a greater Malaysia if it wasn't for Malaysia's race discrimination.
Do you think the divide and rule has done anything good for Malaysia. What has it given to us? Don't you think that if we worked together as purely Malaysians, we would have achieved much greater heights. We could be a global leader. Many think Malaysia is still a respectable country in Asia but the truth is we are growing back into that country which used to be said as between Thailand and Singapore...Malaya or Borneo??
What Malaysia need is not a Indian PM or a Chinese PM but a real true blue Malaysian PM for all. He can be from any race or religion but a true Malaysian. Who can really lead this country thru good times and bad times. There shouldn't be race based politics. Do you think Obama was from the Blacks Division in the Democrats?
While we sleep my friends, the world is changing. Globalisation is happening and has been happening. Time we started to make a change as well.
Even though I'm far away from Malaysia at the moment, my heart is still there. My future is still Malaysia.
