Negaraku, Malaysia.
It is 31st of August tomorrow, a date to remember for all Malaysians. A day where Malaya had achieved its independence which later on led to the formation of the modern Malaysia consisting of the Peninsula Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.
It is a historic day, a day that had change the destiny a nation.
A nation called Malaysia was born.
I'm proud to be a Malaysian! A place that is so unique in it's own way. Not often that you can find a country with so many different races living together in harmony, respecting, adapting and accepting cultural differences among races and cultures. I would say the country can boast of its people ingenuity in gauging between languages! An ordinary Malaysian would have at least spoken more than 2 to 3 languages in their daily lives!
Different races studying together, 一, DUA, மூன்று! |
And not often, only a slightest of chance that you can find a country like Malaysia where it is free from almost all types of natural disasters and add on to that, we have so many beautiful natural heritage in this country that would put natural lover in awe of the creation of God! This I can say is a gift from God to all Malaysians, assuring that we could live in this land peacefully given that we won't take these blessings for granted.
Pulau Redang - One of the most beautiful island in the world! |
Mount Kinabalu - Highest peak in South East Asia |
And the food. The diversity of the food here can almost make sure that you can have different types of food for each of your meals daily and you can go 1 week or more without needed to repeat the same menu! This is certainly one of the greatest asset that the country possesses!
Nasi Lemak! |
Asam Laksa... AND MANY MANY MORE!!!! |
Many had said this coming general election would be one of the defining moment in the history of Malaysia. Regardless of how it would eventually turn out to be, let us just take one day off to just appreciate the blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices that people and leaders had made to give the country a brand new hope, an Independence.
