Human Writes: Congrats, Malaysia, it's the promise of a new day

There are certain mammoth events that are so big, they end up defining you and transforming you. They mark a growth shift and the start of a brand new phase. We, the nation, just had one of those epic events: the 14th General Election.

Congratulations, Malaysia! You’ve grown up. You’re no longer a kid blundering with imprudent foolhardiness. You’re now more mature and conscious politically. You’ve demonstrated greater civic responsibility and engagement. You’ve graduated politically and made us darn proud.
