Change Your World To Change The World

Congratulation to Barack Obama; America’s first non- white President. He will become the 44th President of the USA on January 20th 2009 and he has vowed to change the world. Will he capable of changing the world? He probably can, as the world most powerful figure. From the way he speaks, he’s full of confident, least to say. Another way to put it, he definitely has the leadership quality, already proved by leading his party and his supporters to victory in the election.

So he will change the world, at least in some way. But HOW EXACTLY will he change the world? Today, he named his economic team, which comprises of... (I don’t know who). Anyway, his priorities (known to me) to change the world are by pulling back the falling economy back on track, creating 5 million jobs by 2010 and withdrawing troops out of Iraq and Afghan in order to restore peace to the two countries.

Global effects, felt so strong anytime there’s something happened in the world. Barack Obama’s election came in time (may be some parties didn’t get the chance to see it through), to stop a deepening wound, if not to heal it completely. I am eager to see, with his characteristic and methods, to help the world to become a better place.

Back on our soil, 9 months have passed, promises have been made: To have at least 85% WIMAX coverage over Penang, to boost economic of Penang by attracting big foreign companies (they are creating jobs, but Penang really need them at this time?), to make Penang a World Heritage Site so that tourism will bloom like flower under the sun (?) and etc. Seems like will be busy, at least for another 3 years.

With many things occupying, who cares about the Sungai Nyior Toll Collection?
