Yeah, and this is the first time that BN was denied 2/3 majority in Parliament and the first time they lost so many states to the opposition :D

Everyone is just too fed up with the current government and they want a change, for a better tomorrow :)

I know Opposition will win lotsa seats but didn't except they will win so many seats till able to take over Penang state :)

misti,
Yeah, internet has opened our eyes. In fact, I hardly read the mainstream media nor watching tv during the election campaign period. Can get more balanced news from internet :)
