The racialised makeup of the new state assembly is a sad reflection of the racialisation of our politics: "no Indian ADUNs in the new state government. no Malay candidates from Pakatan Harapan won, meaning there will be no Malay ADUNs in the state opposition." www.malaysiakini.com/news/781148 2/

BN-PN secures two-thirds, no Indian in state govt, opposition without MalayBN and PN have won 25 seats in total, while Harapan has 11.www.malaysiakini.com

Felt this was coming. But it sucks to see, regardless. In some ways this is an end to the liberal dream---a dream Sharon and I once believed in. We marched for free and fair elections. We made campaign art and copy for the then-opposition. A once-close friend became a minister. 3/

The last few years have been ... okay? Typical, maybe. Liberals got comfortable, revealed themselves to be neoliberals, thought they'd won. Did small tweaks, but failed to deliver on the broad social and economic programmes that would've saved our country from its ethnic-identity politics. 4/

Just one example: When Maszlee was Education Minister we saw a real tone-shift in the school we live next to. But because Maszlee focused on students' material conditions (free breakfast, no dress code for shoes) he was mocked, called an Islamist bigot, ousted. By liberals!

The school returned to normal: scolding students, berating them, scaring them---about race, gender, the world, the future. Raising a generation primed for ethnofascist politics. Why do liberals block real change when it is proposed? Maybe the liberal bougeoisie don't want change. 5/

Anyway. I'm ranting, I'm annoyed, I'm disappointed. Our constituency retained our PH representative, for all the good it'll do us. Anyway. The country I want has yet to be born. The horizon is still over there. 6/6
