On 9 March 2008, many Malaysians woke up and found that it was a wonderful day. After 50 years of independence, finally we smelt the fresh air in the new political landscape here in Malaysia, we have, after years of struggling, started to see the possibility of walking out from race-based politics, and started to step forth towards a dream - a dream that we are the Rakyat, we are Malaysians, a dream where we are no longer judged according to colour and creed, but the content of our characters.

It took US two hundred years for the cry to be heard, it was less than 50 years ago when Martin Luther King Jr put aside his life to stand forth for the self-evident truth, that all men are created equal. For Malaysia to be a developed country, this is the direction we should go, that here we have many colours, many cultures, many religions, many languages, many types of food, it is a beautiful symphony of ethnic diversity, a colourful ethnosphere that we the Rakyat should cherish.
