Sometimes I am made to feel very naive when I express my support for Anwar. Perhaps I am naive. I do know he is a politician and he probably doesn't mean half the things he says but I also know that these things he fights for are the main reason the people support him. He can't exactly go back on his word less he lose the next election for sure.

I know people are terrified that the economy will crumble if opposition wins the fight this time but for me, I crave change more than I fear the unknown. Again, perhaps its naivety but for me, I think that if the opposition wins this time around, they would act better. I'm not saying there's no corruption in the opposition but I believe that they know that even if they win their power is not stable, they need to be on their best behavior.

I haven't thought much of politics since I left secondary school. (Maybe a bit in A-levels but nothing big) Maybe it's cause that was when the government affected me the most. The anger and hatred I had towards the government and...well the race that dominated this country was intense. {Dun get me wrong, I'm not racist, my best friend is of that race} The thing was at that time I hated this country so much that all I wanted was to leave.

I don't feel that way anymore. Everyone is telling me to apply for a job is Australia and work there...and I kinda don't want to. Have I actually fallen for this country. O_O And if I do stay here, I want...no need change. I'm tired of Malaysia's overly-consevative laws and rules. And honestly, I kinda wish that Anwar was homosexual to at least I dunno, try to change the country's mindset a bit.

It's like I dunno...I have a variety of friends in Uni now and the mix between open and closed minded is so big AND YET it's still not as bad as our country's view of things. When I realized how happy/comfortable I was being with this/these open-minded friend(s) that i knew what I needed for myself. Too long have I been stuck with close-minded people that I have hated/resented/been annoyed by the people around me, the people in this country that I always thought had I been born somewhere else I would have been so much more content. (This is ignoring those effing Mangoes who feels its their duty to remind me I don't deserve to be/I'm not a chinese because I'm a banana).

So perhaps I have placed my hope on Anwar. Realistically I honestly don't think Opposition will win this round. But next election? (With my help of course they will XD) It will take time, I know, but hopefully my kids will not have to worry about quotas or the feeling of second class citizenship. One day our race will be Malaysian instead of malay, chinese or indian. Perhaps I'm too hopeful/optimistic/naive but I doubt Malaysia will be stuck in this rut forever.
