At the peoples’ level, March 8 brought major changes. It made the people vocal and organised in demanding their rights. It ended submissiveness and removed fear from the political realm.
After March 8, there was no stopping the people demanding accountability and transparency from their political leaders, irrespective of their political coalition. Political parties cannot any longer ignore the new paradigm that March 8 has brought. Politics and governance have taken new dimensions and will never be the same again since the watershed event of March 8,2008.

Despite the November 25th 2007 Hindraf Rally both UMNO and PKR, DAP and PAS are still playing kosong paper politics especially through the Tamil newspapers, TV 2 Tamil News, Radio 6 and THR Raaga.
When the Hindraf uprising can happen, it can also happen again. Both UMNO and PKR, DAP and PAS have to watch and learn.
