Today on February 13, the Malaysian Parliament was dissolved and its officially the election time. But when i look around and ask myself who will win my vote if i were to vote for anyone contesting or i wished had contested in elections, there is non. Its a sad fact that in Malaysia there is a dearth of characters who can inspire the hearts and minds of the people. To instill the believe that there is a hope for change, to inspire unity and present a fresh perspective on things. But nothing can beat getting the un-interested to be interested in politics. In the recent weeks, i am convinced that i have been inspired by a politician to believe that its possible for a change and that there is hope. That man is Senator Barack Obama.
We live in a turbulent time where the news on tv tells tales of sorrow and sadness and at times we question what God is doing about all this madness. But at the time where all of us are glad we are not Americans due to the undoing of the country by the Neocons of Bush and the GOP, the Americans have this God sent gift of being able to make a choice that can determine change for the better and a hope for a united America. I am sad because we do not have a man like Sen. Obama here in Malaysia but i am excited to living in a potential era of change and importantly a potential for my generation's Kennedy era. If President Kennedy inspired a generation of Americans to ask what they can do for their country, imagine what Sen. Obama can do if he goes on to be President.
My words cant convince you of his inspiration but his own words might. Please find below one of his speeches that truly inspired me.
