Wind of change* - Scorpions

"So you must be happy? Liverpool won. The opposition won. What a night it must have been for you!"

Yeah, it was. Altho, techinically, the opposition din win, it was a great victory, no less. And yes, they won in my state, Selangor!!!!

Woohoo! I was so happy, i literally cried.

And i must admit for some fleeting moments, i felt sorry for the faithful hardworking pass MPs who's only mistake was to stay on with the race-based National Front.

Take for example, Lee Hwa Beng who lost to that joker who's only claim to fame was that he accidentally started the recording video function on his mobile out of boredom.

But these people live and die (politically) by their choices. If they want to be counted together with the party that emphasises race, show disrespect and arrogance and think that after 50 years in power, it is their God-given right to rule, then they will have to pay the price when the people exercise their democratic right to reject such leaders.

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Herbert Kretzmer

*One of the classic from this German rock group which topped the charts all over Europe in the early 90s.
