What's the People Want? 人民要的是什么？

The by-election in Permatang Pasir ended up with PAS winning the seat with the majority of 4000+ votes. This was the 8th by-election after 8th March 2008 general election. Barisan National, who is the rulling party had lost seven out of eight by-election.

What conclusion can we have by looking at this result?

From my personal point of view, Barisan National made the many Malaysian lost confident and disapointed. Malaysian suffering from the unsecured situation as robberies and criminal cases had reached a emergency level. Other than that, many political issues, such as PKFZ cases, MACC cases etc also let people feel the current government seem not able to overcome these problems. People start looking for alternative option, and supporting Pakatan Rakyat because they hope they can do better, but not in deed agree with their concept of governing a country.

Actually Barisan National is not bad, the leaders from the basic level had always try their best to help the people. People appreciated that, but they might not satisfied with the big issues at the country level.

What people need now? I think the answer can be very easy. Just a stable, clean, fair and prosperity country. I do hope that our new Prime Minister can listen to the people needs and come out with more beneficial policy. I think within 3 years, while people can see the changes, it might cure the worse situation that Barisan National faced now.

今天在柏马当巴溪的补选由回教党以4000多张的多数票胜出。这是自308以来第八场补选。而国阵，身为执政党，在8场补选中输掉了7场。

从这个情况，我们能够得到什么结论？

从我个人的观点来看，国阵让许多马来西亚人失望且失去了信心。人民在抢劫及罪案到达了紧急状况中受苦。除此之外，许多政治课题，例如巴生港口自由贸易区案子，反贪污局赵明福案子等让人民觉得国阵政府没有办法解决。人民开始寻找替代选择，支持民联，因为他们希望他们能做得更好。但是他们并非认同民联的政治理念。

其实国阵不是那么的糟糕，一些基层领袖也竭尽所能来帮助人们。大家对他们很是感激，但是却可能对一些国家级的大课题表示不满。

人民要的是什么？我觉得答案很简单，只是一个稳定，廉洁，公平和繁荣的国家。我希望我国的新首相可以聆听人民的需要而做出惠民的措施。我想不用3年，当人民看到了改变，就能够挽救国阵现在面对的劣势了。

I am back 我回来了

Hello everyone, I am back! After three weeks travelling, I am now in Kuala Lumpur. Where I had been and what happened during this period? Let me share with you.

I went Myanmar for 2 weeks. I stayed in Mandalay, which is the second largest city of Myanmar. Even though it is "large", but it considered under developed area, compare to Malaysia. There are many Chinese, so we can communicate in Mandarin. The most interesting thing there is their eletricity supply. They are not provided with full day eletricity supply, but only certain hours in a day (6am-11am and 5pm-11pm). However, the people there are very friendly. The most unforgetable memory for me there was the fighting games which I never experience it in Malaysia. Other than that, I also travel to another city by sitting at the top of the trucks for 3 hours. All these are good experience to my life.

Soon after I came back from Myanmar, I went to Taipei. I been to the town area of Taipei, visited Taipei 101 tower, Shi Ling night market, Taipei Zoo (Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are there), Wu Fen Pu, Leo Foo Village Theme Park, Shi Da night market, Ye Liu (Queen Head), Jiu Fen, National Taiwan University, Xin Guang San Yue Shopping Mall, Xi Men Ting, Cheng Pin Bookstore, Mei Lee Hua, mesuem, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Chiang Kai-shek memorial hall, Dan Shui and also hot spring (spa). We took MRT all the times, and took buses sometimes. This is my first backpacker travel, and I did lead my travel partner in the wrong way. I bought a lot of things back, so do my travel partner. Thanks Wyemun for taking care of me for the 8 days in Taipei. I would also like to make my sincere apologise to you if I make you annoy during the trip. I would also like to thanks Jia Yee, Tian Swee, Rou Yuan, and Nikki for accompany me.

Everything is finished. Now is my time to face the "fact". I collected my certificate for my degree this morning, and I will go for an interview session tomorrow morning. Good luck to myself.

哈喽！各位，我回来了！经过了三个星期的“远走天涯”，我先在已经回到了吉隆坡。这段期间我去了那里？做了些什么？让我来跟你们分享。

我去了缅甸2个星期。在那里，我住在瓦城（曼德勒），是缅甸第二大城市。虽然是大城市，但是和马来西亚相较之下，还是非常地贫苦落后。那里有很多华人，所以我们能够用华文来交谈。在那里最有趣的事情是他们的电流供应。他们没有全日的电流供应，而只是不分时段（早上6点到11点，下午5点到晚上11点）。但是那里的人都很友善。而让我最难忘的事情是我在马来西亚没有主吹过的打架球赛。此外，我也有机会坐在罗里车顶到另外一个城市旅行，历时3小时。这些都是我人生很美好的经历。

当我从缅甸回来后第二天，我就直接前往台北。我们去了台北市，参观101大楼，士林夜市，台北动物园（团团圆圆也在那里），五分埔，六福村主题乐园，师大夜市，野柳（女皇头），九分，台湾大学，新光三越，西门町，诚品书店，美丽华摩天轮，故宫博物院，中正纪念堂，国父纪念馆，淡水，和温泉。我们多数时间搭捷运，有时搭巴士。这是我第一次背包旅行，也让我的同伴走了许多冤枉路。谢谢wyemun8天来的照顾，如果在旅程中让你不开心，请原谅我哦！我也要写写珈瑜、天瑞、若瑗和Nikki的陪伴。

一切都结束了。现在是我面对现实的时候了。今早我那了我的大学证书，而明天将会去面试了。祝福我吧！
