and especially to the Honourable Mr. Lim Kit Siang…I know many Pakatan Rakyat supporters, Pakatan Rakyat members and Pakatan Rakyat leaders were elated with the March 8th General Elections result. It was truly unexpected and the winning of so many seats by Pakatan Rakyat and thus denying Barisan Nasional a 2/3 majority was labelled a “Political Tsunami“.

Over the past 5 months, the word “Political Tsunami” was used almost regularly to remind the Barisan Nasional leaders of the rakyat’s displeasure with the Barisan Nasional government. Now, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has won the Permatang Pauh by-election by a greater majority and suddenly, some are saying a “2nd Political Tsunami” is on the horizon.

Frankly, I have grown tired of hearing the words “Political Tsunami” or anything to that effect. Today, Mr. Lim has again quoted “With the success of the second political tsunami in Permatang Pauh and the coming of the ‘Titanic’ next time …,” (source) in reference to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s winning. Don’t you get tired repeating the same phrase?

Please-lah! I think it is about time you guys move on and use some other words rather than repeating the tiresome “Political Tsunami”. And even “Titanic” itself, though a grand looking cruise liner, met with disaster. I am sure you guys are matured enough to use better choice of words to express yourself rather than keep repeating Tsunami which is always associated with disasters, destruction and death. At the very least, spare a thought for those who actually suffered or lost their loved ones in a real Tsunami (the one where the waves hit the shores!).
