After "Change", what are next?

After "Change", What are next?
We got now total 5 states in peninsular Malaysia are under the new coalition party (Pakatan Rakyat) that never happened in the history of Malaysia. Also, we got more than 2/3 of opposition MPs in the Parlimen.
This is a "not bad" results that the people had made . The people had given sufficient mandate for the opposition members that always claimed that they are too weak in terms of representatives in the State & Federal level.
So, the people had done their part, what are next?
PR is now has a stronger platform to perform as a government and they are 10 months old today. As for Penang, DAP-led government never denied that they have shown their energetic, enthusiasm, innovation and trying to demonstrate a different way of administration.
However, many people also felt that they are still celebrating their 308 victory and too much of politicking in all policies and issues. Hope that they have read the letter from "silent majority" (Here) after attended the Victory Dinner in December, and I would said that this represents most of the view that used to support them during 308. Obviously, it is now not the time to celebrate victory, but is time for delivery.
The "change" also hoped that the 51 years old ruling coalition BN could awoae and realise what is actually happening on the ground people that they have left for so long. But, have they changed or going to change?
