WHO will WIN?

Malaysia your future has depended on the hands of the incumbent
It's time that you take on a new future and pursue the Vision 2020
Never said it was easy
It's gonna be tough
A change must come about
Long gone are the days of the Godfathers
It's time for the people to develop
Long enough we have been in the developing status
It's about time!
