The end of the first half of 2008 has come and yet the profound changes that Malaysia has experienced in the political and economic spheres are likely to continue in the second half of the year. We have already successfully weathered the first political tsunami on 8th March 2008.
Yet, based on the fresh developments that emerge each day, we may be facing a second tsunami or the after-shocks of the first tsunami in the near future before the year ends.
In fact, a foreign visitor, known as a phophet, said last year that Malaysia will experience major changes and birth pangs in 2008, which coincides with the jubilee year for the nation starting from August 2007.
The latest news on the web is that a police report was filed against the defacto Opposition leader. At present, we do not know the truth and the details of the report. Who can we trust for truthful information when there are doubts about the objectivity of the mainstream papers? Even several blogs can't be trusted because of their political leanings to one party or another.
However, we can learn from the history of the world: In every political crisis, the first thing and most powerful thing to do is to pray to God that He will interevene for the truth to prevail, the lies to be exposed, the injustice to be reversed and the innoncent to be protected from the evil that has taken the hearts of men.
We can unravel the enemy’s plans and bind their feet before they take further action by praying for God’s divine intervention.
So if we read or hear about a dramatic turn of events (such as the arrest of a prominent political leader), I think we should be prepared for a major crisis in the country. As an individual citizen, now is probably the time to gather our families and friends together in our homes and places of worship to pray as a nation that the next tsunami will be as peaceful and mature as the first one on 8 March 2008.
