Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim won the Permatang Pauh elections last night in a resounding victory with a majority of almost 16,000 votes!

While it is a time for his supporters to celebrate, the country and foreign investors seem to be waiting with bated breath to see what lies ahead for the economy.

What will it be?

Will there be lower petrol prices come the magical date of 16 September 2008?

Will there be an improved economy and increased foreign investments?

Will there be a stronger currency and stronger share market?

Let’s wait and see…

On a positive note, I took a peek at the KLSE this morning and it is encouragingly no longer in the red! Perhaps it is a sign of better things to come!
