Malaysia Day - September 16

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 | 1:20 pm @ SK

It’s Malaysia Day, the day to commemorate the establishment of Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia.

It’s the day where the entire country is waiting for and finally the day is here for us to celebrate with your brothers and sisters from Sabah and Sarawak too.

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim declared the PR’s government has got the number to form a new Government but to ensure a smooth transition, PR has submitted a letter to the Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today seeking a meeting as PR believes a smooth and peaceful transition is paramount.

On the other hand, Pak Lah snubbed Anwar’s announcement as a political lie, arguing that “if Anwar has the numbers, he would have let the whole world know”.

What matter to the public is the entire affair will be conducted in a peaceful manner without any unwanted intervention from the non-political entities to prevent bloodshed from taking place which is going to mar the nation forever.

To me, September 16 is more or less a symbolic date as it’s the day which we truly Malaysia as one. For PR coalition to achieve the formation of a new Government this date or otherwise, it’s not much a topic for us to debate on.

Afterall, we’ve have been waiting for this truly refreshing moment since the past 50 years and if the PR misses the Setepmber 16 dateline due to certain technical issues as well as to ensure a completely peaceful and smooth handover from the BN regime, by all means, just take the time to execute it.

We’re not rushing to witness to rise of a new Malaysia just because of the dateline promised earlier. What matters is, right after the transition, anak-anak bangsa Malaysia will continue to live peacefully without any unwanted incident which might demolish the hard grown multi-racial spirit as the pillar of strength of this nation.

Hence, my message to the people remains steadfast and unchanged, which is stay calm and relax, don’t be provoked by wrongful sentiment which might plot the downfall of a new hope and new Malaysia.

Rise your Jalur Gemilang and I’m proud to be a Malaysian.

Happy Malaysia Day, people.
