Gerakan Youth It is the end of the year again. Every one that I meet these few weeks comes with a question, “What have we done in the year 2020?” Everything seems stagnant, many of us did so little things and the time flies so fast. Maybe except for politics, where there are so many changes. We had a change of leadership and even the Americans voted to change their President.

Despite a year where we did nothing much, it was really tiring. Every single person on this earth has to adapt to a life changing scenario. We were forced to change our daily life habits to make sure we stay safe and healthy. Many are facing difficult times trying to find ways to survive economically especially those who are in the industry which is directly affected by the pandemic. While many Malaysians were simply tired of the political maneuvering that has made the nation worse.

Malaysian simply want our lives to be better and for the nation to recover from the 2020 disaster. It was supposed to be a remarkable year, full of hopes and vision. The world was just unfortunate.
Briefly summing up a catastrophic year as we should not harp too much about it because we are taught to look and plan forward. Talking about it won’t solve the problems, but planning and executing it will only make progress. While we are trying to cope with the recovery period from the pandemic, adapting to our life and work changes, we have to make this a catalyst for 2021 a comeback year. Since we have to make changes in our life anyway, why not make it an even better change. As you are reading this, some of you may know me as one of the political candidates in the last general election. I once had this aspiration of being elected as the people’s representative to make positive changes in the lives of people as well as the nation. But as we face the political turmoil this year, like many Malaysians, I have grown frustrated with the politics. I understand that politics is a lot about politicking afterall, but we have too much politics until we are ignoring many important matters. And that is where I started to delve into different ways on how I can work on my initial ideas, which is relevant to my campaign slogan, ‘Better Together’, which I have always believed. 18 Gerakan Today
