Hoping that this new goverment fullfills promises and makes a huge positive difference to your country Loke.

A great fortune, and a time of tremendous optimism! Your words echo the joy and optimism that may begin to unfold. Sometimes, an election and the expressed will of a people can be a powerful thing. Great verse, Loke!

Lucky are the people of Malaysia, they were able to unchain themselves from the claws of absolute power and corruption. Yes, people have the inherent right of responsive, honest and clean governance. A great poem beautifully crafted and well executed.10

A powerful political write and great tribute to your country, Malaysia. Very honest, balanced and informative write as regards the affairs of the country. Yes, corruption is one of the greatest ills of society. It will bring the people to poverty and its domino effect will lead to moral degradation within a particular society.

The world recognizes the new strides of progress Malaysia has made in the last few decades. A highly patriotic write expressing the sense of triumph and victory you feel over the judicious way your country men voted into power a deserving leader! A 10

I find there is so much of relief in you that your country is restored from the hands of a corrupt regime. Like a true patriot, you rejoice over the new political dispensation. Hope your new leader Mohammad will rise up to the expectations of every Malaysian!

Hi Loke, Just as i was wondering of your new poems, pleasantly, i am greeted with a lively new poem, on a topic that is different. So happy that Malaysia is in celebrating with with a new leader and a new Government. Hearty Congratulation, my dear friend. The corruption is gone and a new dawn, full of hope is awaited.....10

What ever dark the night may be it must get morning.

I hope that the same can one day happen in my country of origin.

Congratulations, My Dear Friend. There had to be an end to the corrupt regime. Let us hope for the best. We also hope that the new incumbent does not repeat the mistakes of the past. He must govern firmly with the dignity of a senior leader that he is and loved by people.
