Two years ago today, Malaysians woke up to a new government.

It was the first time I voted in an election and never have I ever imagined we'd be able to change a government.

But together, what seemed impossible happened.

It happened once. It will happen again. #HarapanKita
#Semangat9Mei brought Malaysia Baharu.

I saw it as a platform which would allow everyone, especially the younger people in this country, to begin having the tougher conversations to set this country on the right path while being proud to be Malaysian again.
For starters, gone were the days where critics of government would be arrested as a signal to everyone else.

#Semangat9Mei paved the way for more democracy, more differing voices.

Along the way, arrests and investigations resumed. But the present PM was then the Home Minister.
Public transport was made more affordable under @anthonyloke.

Smoking in public was regulated to protect your health, led by @DrDzul.

@GobindSinghDeo halved the price and doubled the speed of Internet.

@maszlee brought free breakfast for all students in school.
@yeobeeyin prevented Malaysia from being the world's dumping site, sending back tonnes of plastic waste to where they came from. Electricity bill rebates were given to those with financial challenges.

@saifnasution brought a new normal of price control for essential goods
@teresakok took on a continent and made palm oil famous again.

@SyedSaddiq showed it was possible for younger people to participate actively in politics and led a constitutional amendment. If you're 18, you can vote in the next elections.
@MSabu_Official and @LiewChinTong tabled the first ever Defence White Paper, explaining why defence mattered to our daily lives.

@guanenglim tabled Malaysia's largest ever fiscal budget, while making home ownership easier for first time buyers among others
There were many more like @DarellLeiking, @imokman, @hannahyeoh @MyDSA_official who ran their portfolios admirably.

For every change in policy, there was a face working diligently to ensure these changes would work in the interest of people.

#HarapanKita = Change is possible
