16 September 2009
Today is the day when Malaysia was formed, with the inclusion of Sabah and Sarawak. Today Malaysia celebrates 46 years of its formation and unision with the two sovereign states mentioned earlier. It was a great idea of our former Prime Minister, Tengku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj to include the two former colonies of British Borneo to join Malaya in forming Malaysia. We have now a bigger melting pot of races - Malays, Chinese, Indians, Sikhs, Kadazans, Bidayuh, Melanau, Dayak, Bajau, Penans, etc,etc. Our country is so blessed, we have peace and prosperity and the promise of 1Malaysia strengthens the bondage amongst all the diverse races.
1Malaysia disandarkan kepada 3 teras dalam memperkukuhkan perpaduan nasional ia-itu:
Prinsip Penerimaan, Prinsip Kenegaraan, Prinsip Keadilan Sosial. Our tagline Rakyat di dahulukan, Pencapaian diutamakan.Justeru pemimpin dan rakyat perlu saling memahami dan menghayati lapan nilai IMalaysia, ia-itu Budaya Kecemerlangan, Ketabahan, Rendah Hati, Penerimaan, Kesetiaan, Meritokrasi, Pendidikan dan Integriti.
PS1. About 2 months ago, Bank Negara Malaysia(BNM) released its new RM50 note. Of course, the Ist Yang Di Pertuan Agong continued to grace the new Ringgit, highlighted with our national flower, the Bunga Raya. It was obvious the striking splash of red differentiates the old and the new note. I was really proud to see that the new RM50 note also carried the image of the hybrid oil palm species, short and sturdy. Of course, it was nostalgic to see the proud image of our Tengku shouting "Merdeka!" seven times. Malaysia, Tanah air ku, Tanah tumpahnya darah ku.....
PS2. 16 September has been declared a public holiday beginning 2010 to commemorate Malaysia Day.
