I refer to the Malaysiakini report Perak battle moves to Court of Appeal .

At this juncture, nothing much can be done by Malaysians who are not happy with the way things are happening in Parliament, the state assemblies, the judiciary, the Anti-Corruption Commission, the police etc.

They are all under the control of BN and these institutions will definitely comply to their way or requirements. The people who are not happy can only just look on as the opposition leaders keep on fighting and resisting to get the changes done.

But nothing can change unless you are in power.

But a change can be guaranteed. Every one of us has the power to contribute towards a change. Your vote can assure of a change. A change of the government.

The present government and all the institutions do not seem care to implement policies for the good of the people let alone initiate changes.

After more than 50 years, we see even worse things

happening like that in Perak. Both sides will do anything for the power to rule.

With a change of government, at least there is some hope for a change for the better. We should think about the future of our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on and on.

So let us start by encouraging our wives and children of voting age to be interested in politics.

Talk to them, discuss with them about the Mat Rempit, the rape cases, world news, sports and also, on local politics.

Try to change their mindset in that we should also be aware of our local politics and read about the news on the other side of the fence as well. Lets ensure we get them to register as voters for the coming election. This is one way of getting votes for a change.

Of course, thinking about the welfare of our future generation, we hope that a new government will slowly but surely initiate the changes to all the institutions as when and where essential.

If you have the majority, reverse or even change the constitution for the good of the future generations.

I, for one, have successfully changed my family's, including my in-laws', mindsets and I can see that they have changed.

Even my late father (we are Chinese) voted for PAS during the last general election in March 2008, something which he had never done before.

He was 88 years old before ‘resting in peace' a few months after the election. But unfortunately, Pakatan still lost.
