On 4th November 2008 - Barack Obama swept to victory as the nation's first black president on Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself.

For many, including myself, Obama represents a new face to rise to the occasion to bridge a racially divided world. He won 51% of the popular vote from the people of America. This is an unbelievable occasion since the day of slavery (1607-1865) and Martin Luther king Jr. (1929 - 1968) to see a black American President as the 44th US President.

The people of Americans accept Obama as their 1st black and the 44th US president shows the their maturity that goes beyond race & religion.

We as Malaysians should congratulate Obama for rising to the occasion to show the world that if we dream and work on what we truly believe in, it is not impossible to see the reality come true in the future..

Is it time for us in Malaysia to dream & believe we can work together to make our country a better place? A place we can love and communicate beyond race and religion? If it is possible to dream the right dream, maybe in the next general election, we will be able to choose a leader we truly believe in and not someone selected by the elites who have been running our country like a family affair without a guilt.

Meanwhile, with the help of the internet and many more alternative news available to the common people on the street, we are able to evaluate for ourselves how we choose our leaders in future.

For me, it is better to hope than no hope. I believe we are the endless drop of water that forms the ocean that will rise to the occasion to change the political shore of Malaysia in the future..

For the people of Malaysia, hang on to your precious voice & let's hope for change that goes beyond race and religion.
