The dawn of a new era

I WAS expecting a gelombang (wave). I was wrong, it was a tsunami. The anti-Barisan Nasional sentiments swept the country last Wednesday on a scale never seen in the history of this nation.

I was spectacularly wrong about my prediction for GE14. I spoke to politicians from both sides of the political divide. I travelled the entire length of the peninsula just to get a feel of things. I could sense something “different”, especially in the Malay heartlands, but the results were nothing less than dramatic.
