4th November 2008 will always be remembered as the day a black President of USA was elected into office.
I am happy for Barack Obama and for USA and for humanity.
To me, the true victory of this election is the evidence that racial divides can heal, if the will is there. It may have taken 143 years for blacks in the USA to leave their slavery past to reach the pinnacle of the nation, but it's done.
Malaysians can hope the same. After all, the racial injustices in the US were arguably deeper than what we have here.
We are a young nation of 51 years. We have already sounded the knell on 8th March 2008. What we need now is the relentless pursuit of our ideals, the united effort by all races to do what is right and the audacity of hope.
