It has been a long tine that an entry is made in this blog. The reason for the elegant silence is to remain neutral during the last Malaysian General Election 12 and look at the situation from afar. And as the script goes, it is clear that the ruling party was given a "wake up" call to buck up its act it it wants to stay relevant in Malaysian politics.

Apart from that, AAB is also trying to win some support by trying to potray that the Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) shall be free from political influence. However, his effort falls short when his agenda is not clearly defined.
One of the influential Malaysian blog openly questions whether AAB can last 100 days.
On the other hand, the current opposition parties are able to consolidate their gains and are making progress in leaps and bounds when their political agenda is more appealing to the public.
