What happens now ?

AsSalam and hola everybody,

It's Friday and that only means one thing right, it's the start of the eagerly anticipated, much appreciated, highly regarded WEEKEND ! The thing that strikes me the most about blogging (although I can't claim to be a prolific blogger) is that whether you're writing an entry about how you feel about a certain issue or about which movie you watched the other day and how bad it sucks...you are bound to have critiques, naysayers, and people who just doesn't concur with your views. Erm... it's okay though, everyone is entitled to their own views right ?.
Now as for my blog, well let's just say that it still is very much a personal affair, as much as I would like to, I really really want to avoid writing about politics, particularly Malaysian politics. As all of you might have known by now, Malaysia has a new Prime Minister in the form of Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak. IF you're an avid reader of Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, New Straits Times or The Star newspapers, you watch TV 3 or RTM 1 and 2 religiously, chances are you'll be viewing this so called 'power transition' as something inevitable or conventional even BUT and that's a very big BUT, IF you transcend the traditional print media and happen to read the new media which includes newsportals such as malaysiakini, The Malaysian Insider, harakahdaily or the blogosphere in general, it's anything but normal and conventional.
The country in it's almost 52 years of existence has never ever come across a Prime Minister-designate so entrenched with scandals and allegations that seems to taint him more and more with each passing day. The thing is, Datuk Seri Najib himself has done little to quash these 'rumours' let alone denying it strenuously in a way a decent man should. The last thing he needs right now is projecting a leadership which lacks integrity and heaping on a decidedly low confidence from the rakyat.
I believe things won't get any less complicated with the current 3 by-elections creeping slowly to it's climax. Whichever side you're on, please don't take my word for it but each and everyone of us is duty-bound as Malaysian citizens to choose wisely and fairly. Every single vote counts and the significance of these votes will ultimately chart the progress of our beloved country.
As for the rest, HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE WEEKEND !!!
