Malaysia's 50th Birthday


Malaysia gone thru half a century of hardship and we're doing quite fine and good. Tough there were several incidents in pass that really made our people suffered but we all turned out pretty good. Was watching the live telecast of the celebration at Merdeka Square last midnight and I was quite curious and wonder what the hell was going thru their heads. True enough the people were there to celebrate and its a joyful event but few things werent right at all during the celebration. I was taught back in school that we should respect our national anthem unlike some Johor dickhead in Taiwan who thinks he can sing so well. I dont blame him for his opinion but there were thousands of Malaysians last night did a similar thing including of our Ministers and VIPs. When the clock struck 12AM our Prime Minister announced and shouted Merdeka (Independence) and the National Anthem was played. Instead of standing up right and still to sing our anthem those dumb pricks was happily waving mini flags. How ironic!

Second thing I notice was the flags that was waving in the crowd, it wasnt only the the country flag was being waved. I was surprised that there were UMNO (Malay Political Party), MIC (Indian Congress party), MCA (Chinese Political Party) and Gerakan (People Action party) flags were waving all over as many as the Malaysia flag. WHY??? Is it because that all are pro-government parties? Where are the political opposition parties? Arent they Malaysians too? Where was our ex Prime Minister? Was he too old to hang out late?

Thats why Malaysia is a great country, never fail to amuse me with funny thoughts. Great place, great food, great people. All equally balanced out with several negative matters which I will not wanna get involve with. I'm not a political writer like Jeff Ooi, but I am proud to be a citizen of Malaysia not the best place on earth but its good enough for 1 Malaysian Ringgit.
