Our National Day
Malaysian celebrated 51st Merdeka Day (Independent Day) yesterday. Yes, more than half a century. In The Star, lots of write-up in conjunction with the celebration. One was about our previous prime ministers: Tunku was a visionary and dreamer, Tun Razak was a planner and Tun Hussein Onn was an implementer. Another one was about inter-race marriages: testimonies, challenges and insights of the couples.Very interesting.
Many Malaysians have wishes and prayers for the nation. So, what's mine?
~ All Malaysians are bangsa Malaysia, without discrimination of races and religions
~ Greater depth in muhibbah spirit,
~ Economically revived and resource optimisation
~ Justice and righteousness prevails
~ Revolution in education system: more far-sighted and forward-looking, not regression.
~ Safety and peace for this land
Merdeka =Freedom, Independence. So, let it be, in all aspects: out of bondages, into freedom and independence. Happy Birthday, Malaysia!
