We are proud to be Malaysians

Tears shed, heart broken. But we are Malaysians, we are strong, we are resilience, we will stand up! We are even nearer to the road of true democracy.

We have achieved a lot we could never have done before 505. We have the highest turn out rate ever in General Election in Malaysia history. We have the highest political awareness ever! (including myself) We have proved we are one united nation, all the different races come together to share the same vision for our beloved country. We have proved that we can face the defeat, maturely.

We will show them, the-forever-racist-comments that they made will not affect us. We will show them we learned our lessons from this defeat. We will show them who we are in five years to come.

There are a lot people to thank in this PRU13.

Thank you to all the PACABA! You have done a great job, helping to educate the voters, especially the first timers like me. Specially to my friend, Ching Siang, who flew home from Abu Dhabi, not just to cast his vote, but to be a PACA himself. To spread more awareness, to help junior to raise fund for air ticket to fly home, to give hope.

Thank you to all the Malaysians who have voted. Thank you to all the Malaysians who have tried their very best to spread awareness.

Thank you to Dato Sri Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Karpal Singh, and all the other opposition leaders! You have given us hope and strength to fight. You have united the people. You have given us a vision.

Thank you to all the Penangites! I'm proud to be one! We have shown them money can't buy our votes (I was worried but results proved that I was thinking too much). We have shown them who we want for our state government again and again! We have shown them Penang boleh! Penang has given me hope!

Last but not least, thank you to our PM! Because of you we are even more determined to stay strong and united. Because of you, Chinese society learned that PAS is peaceful and nothing to be afraid of, the thoughts and fear about PAS in the past was so idiotic. True racial harmony is looking good and bright in Malaysia!

I've seen a lot of kindness in this PRU13. People helping each other at the polling center. People handing out donations to the party in need. Police at the polling center helping out in taking care of young children when the parents were voting in the classroom. People clearing out their own rubbish after ceramah. People leaving ceramah quietly and orderly.

I am moved. Truly.

I think it's time to stop mourning. Yes, we are defeated this time. But like my sister said, Lim Kit Siang can fight for this for 47 years, went into jail for two times, who are we to give up hope?

Never give up. Stay strong. Stay mature and peaceful. Stop posting insensitive comments on social media. Do not go on street and riot.

And also, do not forget today. Remember this very heart-aching feeling you are having, right here right now. Remember how you were defeated, so that you can stand up from where you fall.

Remember, do not lose hope, continue to believe because

Quote from Star Wars
Luke: "I can't believe it."
Yoda: "That is why you fail."

Malaysia boleh!
