HAPPY MERDEKA RAYA MALAYSIA

An Independence Day is an annual celebration observing the anniversary of a nation's independent statehood, usually after ceasing to be a colony or part of another state. All countries honor their respective independence day, celebrating it as a national holiday. The independence of Malaysia is different from that of the independence of other countries. It was a peaceful independence attained by holding talks with the British. Thus on 31 August 1957, Malaysia got its independence from the United Kingdom.

So we will be 54 come August 31st this year.  We have come a long way, since independence.So we got liberated from the British, but are we really liberated?  After 54 years why are still suspicious of each other? why must everything be about race, or religion?  Unless we can see beyond color or creed, we have not really been liberated. we can have all the merdeka celebration, year in , year out, it is not going to make any  different. I prayed for the day when we can really call ourselves malaysian without looking his color or religion, then celebrating Merdeka will be more meaniful.

Anyway happy merdeka and Selamat Hari Raya.To those travelling, travel safe.
