Merdeka

Selamat Menyambut Hari Kebangsaan, Happy National Day or is it Independence Day? Whatever!

Are we really independent? Why kebangsaan? Direct translation of Bangsa in English is "race". Does it reflect "1Malaysia"? Whatever!

Lately there has been a lot of controversy regarding this issues. But when I was in my school days, race was never an issue. I had several Chinese friends, yes many of them are hardworking and intelligent, and so are the Malay boys, we try to compete academically with them. The good old days of school.

Today's Merdeka day is a non-event, except the police road block here and there. Wonder why?
