For those who doesn't know, Malaysia just had the 14th General Elections and created history where the opposition party Pakatan Harapan defeated a 6 decade rule of the previous ruling party Barisan Nasional. This is the first time in history that the opposition party won and takes over the government. It was really intense. We know that alot of people voted for change and change it was.
However, being a full time trader and investor, we know that whichever party wins, it doesn't matter as we can earn both ways (up or down). We already had our expectations on what to do today on the 14th May 2018. Therefore, we are covered on what to do during today's trading sessions and my students raked in extremely great profits today regardless on who is currently in power. We already knew and we reacted to the market's movement once it opened today and because of that, the impact did not really make any on us traders and investors. Even before today, we were discussing that the Malaysian market may not drop as bad as what people elaborated to be and in fact sprung up strongly and closed higher compared to last week. Hence, this is an indication of confidence to the current new government.
Now, i'm not going to write about politics or the market or even charts but what i would really like to stress on in this post is on the attitude of the people towards both pre and post elections aftermath. We Malaysians have forgotten we are still MALAYSIANS no matter which party we support. Family members, friends, relatives and so on may have different views from each other on politics but after a while, the routine in your circle will continue despite whoever is in power now. I've seen friends and families get into heated arguments due to different opinions in politics just to feed each other's ego on who is wrong and who is right. I find that totally sad and very childish like. Hence, here's my take to both groups of supporters:
For the BN supporters:
STOP being sore losers and cry babies and continuously want to find faults and find arguments with those who supported PH. I totally feel that is just so childish. Feels like seeing a bunch of kids who lost and then try to make themselves look like they are so right on the previous government. Like what was mentioned earlier, everyone has their own point of view and we are all still Malaysians regardless of any political party we support. NOBODY is less of a Malaysian if one supports the opposition or more of a Malaysian if they support BN. So, I believe it would be better if you guys just stop being such sore loser and accept the fact that the new government had been formed and move on with life. This is a democratic country. Therefore it would be best if you guys stop with the "hang pi tanya gomen baru engkau yang bangang tu lah apasal minyak tak turun" coz seriously by saying this, nothing will change and only separates us as Malaysians or make families and friends separate.
For the PH supporters:
You guys too need to stop getting your ego inflated until to the extent of making fun and cursing those who supported BN. Just as mentioned above, they are just as Malaysian as you are. All is done and PH had already won and that's the fact now but there is no need of making fun of those who lost. So keep your pants up and move along with life too whatever it is. As the saying goes, "don't ask what the country can do for you but do ask what can you do for the country". So even that your current party had won the elections, you won't be any better than those who supported BN if you don't do anything to help yourself and your country. So just keep it down and let the new government do their jobs.
The reason for this post is i felt so sickening of all the UNNECESSARY name callings, finger pointing and shift blaming as we all should work as a team and create peace among each other only then we will strive to be a better nation comparable to big developed countries. Some say it is a dream that PH won, but to me, there is still ALOT to be done before we can declare ourselves comparable to other developed nations. Afterall, every 5 years, we can choose again if all isn't well.
Let's build this nation peacefully as one big team.
