Merdeka

1 more day to Merdeka [as of time of writing]. The problem with Merdeka is the fact that the leaders keep repeating certain facts, such as national integration, unity, Malay supremacy, etc. etc. etc. even after Merdeka, after the citizens are supposed to have united and integrated. Can the BN keep their coalition together? MCA is against certain UMNO ministers who have made stupid insensitive comments. Gerakan may leave BN, same with SAPP, or so the talk goes.
But is the Pakatan Rakyat a better substitute? I don't know for sure at the moment. Anwar is charismatic, everyone seems to like him as the new PM. Even then, I hope PAS will not be the next UMNO, where its leaders make insensitive statements for the fun of it. That is, if the PR is going to be taking over as the next government. It is entirely possible, as only 30 BN ministers are required to cross over in order for the PR to form the next government.
Sabah is a hotbed for crossing over, due to the friction between the state and the federal government. If Anwar can really get the support of 30 ministers, then it will be the PR's turn to be the government. Interesting times ahead, watch out for the 16th of September.
That's all the ranting for now. To all Malaysians, abroad or local, happy celebrating the nation's 51st birthday!
