Today is September 16th, and it seems like just another ordinary day in Penang. Anyone remember the significant of this date 43 years ago (16th September 1963)? Today is Malaysia Day, this day marks our beloved nation's 43th birthday. The day whereby Malaysia was formed 43 years ago. Seems like not many realised or remembered this day, unlike 31th August 1957.
16th September 1963 marked the milestone for Sarawakians and Sabahans as this was the day the British colonies of Sarawak and Sabah joined Malaya to form Malaysia. I will fly the Sarawak flag together with the Malaysia flag/Jalur Gemilang on this day, cos today is the "real" Independence Day for us, folks from the Land of Hornbills and the Land below the Wind. p/s: Anyone here realised today is Malaysia Day? ;)
Happy 43th Birthday, Malaysia

Now SRP itself also became history already.. taken over by PMR :P
cocka,
they themselves also forget kua? :(
dunno leh...

how to pak tor if i don have gf???nyonya wana intro???
yep, today is the real msia day. I like the flag at the top right corner.
It is most regrettable for S'wak to join Malaysia. Do we deserved to be marginalized by this Malays Nationalist? Do we deserved to accept the islamization of our whole country?
Looking at our schools and you could have all the answers to what is where we are and where we are heading, is a total shame that after 49 years schools like Penang Free Sch once consider similar class as Raffles institution of S'pore fall to today's state. I am not too sure how many Malaysian can rationalize the situation of this two institution at our present time.
In 1969 the ratio of Chinese to Malays is "4 people work for the other 5 to enjoy" but when 2020 comes it will be "1 person work for 8 persons to enjoy??" more like "1 person work and 8 person fight" you believe this is sustainable?
Who pays for the Son-in-law to Oxford? Tax payer? Who pay the tax? The Malays? Now he is coming after the Chinese, the one who pays his school fees. The dog is biting the owner who fed him!
The country is going to the dogs and I have left the country but on 01.01.20 12:00noon I will drop my sarong on Merdeka Square if Malaysia is to achieve Wawasan 2020.
ok ok, I admit I'm the ignorant one, I didn't know! Happy Malaysia Day to all, then!
Happy Malaysia Day!

SA,
31 August 1957 is the independence day for Malaya. Malaysia only existed after 16 September 1963 (combination of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore). Singapore left Malaysia two years later on 9 August 1965. Heheh, this is the brief and simplify history of Malaysia :D
