Malaysia Day...:)


16th September 1963, is a special day for all Malaysian. It is when Malaysia was formed. The Merdeka anniversary on August 31 to mark the nation’s Independence in 1957 is however not very meaningful to the people of Sabah and Sarawak. This is because it was September 16,1963 that Malaysia was formed with the union of Sabah and Sarawak with Malaya to establish a new federation ( this is what my History teacher thought me).Now it become more meaningful to us, coz it was a PUBLIC HOLIDAY!
Yes, this is typical Malaysian mentality. Most of us concern and celebrate for the holidays not for the reason. We are very happy not for the Malaysia's Day but for the holiday. This is the truth..... I am sure, still many out there enjoy their public holidays without even knowing why it was given. We just love public holidays. If it falls on Monday or Friday, then it is called perfect...
I hope people don't deny this truth.... Ok, tell me what u will do first when u got a new calendar for new year? First, u will check for your birthday...then ur beloved birthdays, then...check for Big celebration date...then of course for sure u will check for any other public days for tht year.... hmmmm... love holidayss..( Holidays are Jolly dayss...):)
Honestly i too love holidays. All of us have the right to enjoy our holidays. But at the same time, i just hope tht we understand the real purpose for the public holiday given. Malaysia's Day should be celebrated, at least by singing National Anthem or even by waving National's Flag. Then all of us can go on with our plans. By this, at least the Public Holiday given make worth!!!

"HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY!!! Love u, Malaysia:)"
