MERDEKA MERDEKA MERDEKA.. i guess everyone feels happy n excited of the coming of this BIG day because of................
HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but the true meaning of this day seems to be less important in most of young people's mindset...., what they care is the holiday on this day where they can sleep nad have fun.
In fact, what 'rakyat' of Malaysia think of 31/8 is the Independence Day of MALAYSIA.. However, is this true? Of what i had learnt in History, 31/8 is the Independence Day of Tanah Melayu. At that time, Sarawak and Sabah were still being colonized by the British. it was till 16/9/1963 where Malaysia is formed with the combination of Sarawak, Sabah, Singapore and Tanah Melayu (Singapore left in 1965). i am totally confused of this Independence Day because of the date. So should Sabah and Sarawak celebrate 31/8 or just 16/9.. Anyway, i would like to give a credit to Dato Seri Najib of listing 16/9 as the Malaysia Day. As a Sarawakian, i long this holiday for years, not because of the holiday merely, but the deep meaning behind it..
Selamat menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan
