Makkal Sakhti (People Power)
History was created in Malaysia over the last few hours.
For the first time since independence, the ruling coalition of Barisan Nasional has been denied a two-third majority. The alternative parties of DAP, Keadilan and PAS have taken over as the ruling state governments of Penang, Perak, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan.
While the older generation, including my parents have started to fear the outcome of this swing, I do believe that the young generation is getting what it wanted.
Change is only the beginning.
I do believe that in many cases, we were voting for the lesser of two evils. It's now up to the new elected faces to show us what they are really made of.
To all the elected parliamentary and state legislative candidates, CONGRATULATIONS. I hope you are all able to work together to make this country a better place. Remember: easy come, easy go - we put you there.

Kudos to the Election Commission for what seems to have been fair elections.
And appreciation to BN for respectfully accepting the defeats.
@prashantrajan: yes, you are right. Thanks for reminding me here. Kudos to the other key components of this election process.
