My Experience in Politics

What an experience!

The result has yet to come out but so far, the news is on the Net. We have won Penang! Barisan Rakyat; DAP-PKR-PAS. I hope the official result will come out soon.

All the struggles of BERSIH, HINDRAF, all the sweat and blood of our civil right leaders and our Barisan Rakyat leaders paid off. The People's voice is loud and clear, we want Change!

Throughout the last two weeks, I have experienced many news things, from strategizing on internet campaign to campaign visits at wet markets to party meetings (wow! the realpolitik is eye opening) to giving political ceramahs gulp (up to three ceramahs a night!) to becoming a polling agent and counting agent. Too many thoughts now to digest, the excitement is overwhelming me as we are all kept in suspense of the official results.


My amateruish political ceramah - this one is at Tmn Permata
