April 3rd 2009. Remember the date.
Straw clutching, jaw clenching, palms upward in prayer and all other physical mannerisms that were symbolic of HOPE for the last couple of months have evaporated. Malaysians from all walks of life have breathed a collective sigh of resignation.
"It's over", "Gone la", "We're screwed/fucked" "From the frying pan into the fire" (thanks Suppy) are being heard all over the country today.
Black shirts, blouses, skirts and pants are the order of the day.
You'd think we're a nation in mourning for the loss of a great mahatma-esque leader. BUT we're not. We're actually 'celebrating' the inauguration of a brand new Prime Minister.
What's so negatively depressing about this? I'm too drained to repeat the whole story, but suffice to say, today our generation has witnessed first-hand a sad state of affairs. A state of affairs where the bad and evil and corrupt get rewarded.
Let me take a breather to collect my thoughts.....
