political strife in my home country

Few days ago, Anwar Ibrahim, our ex DPM contested in the Permatang Pauh by-election. Needless to say he won, and won big. I'd never been inclined to know much about politics before, but I believe everyone in this country can sense that our country is as unstable as its ever been in the last few decades.. especially when it was under the Mahathir autocratic (although preached democratic) rule.

Being deprived of a reliable source of information from our official and government controlled newspapers, there was never much transparency for Malaysians. But now, our internet driven community has easy access to any information through the world wide web. This boom in the communication and information technology fields was in fact encouraged and given priority by our previous PM.. so how ironic is it that now it's come back to bite the ruling coalition in their ass!!! LoL..

What goes around comes around.
