Wishing all my fellow Malaysians a Selamat Hari Kebangsaan on this 52nd national day.
For Sarawakians, not to worry I will have another wish on 16th September :)

Sorry, the posting was made on 31st August ... but wrong time zone setting :-(
ReplyDeleteHi WJ not only the time zone mixed up but this year Mederka is 53rd year of Independence not 52nd.....You're more Singaporean than Malaysian lah.Anyway Happy Merdeka!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOops! Sorry lah. What's a year difference among friends? After 50 many lie about their age anyway ... Hahaha
ReplyDelete53 years and what has Malaysia come to? Ineffective and corrupted. Time for a change!!!
ReplyDeleteYou think that generations after generations, people of Malaysia will learn from it - so sad. Greed is the cause of evil deeds. If only Sarawakians (those in "power") are different.
ReplyDeleteOne can only hope......
Happy Merdeka or Selamat Hari Kebangsaan to all
Why should we only hope when we are people who select the Gov't. Go out and make the change happen.
ReplyDeleteYes, Kuching is still a very nice place to live. We should keep it that way.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing that the Federation of Malaysia is only just a bit older than any of us? For it's youth, it is doing remarkably well. There is cause for celebration. And Kuching has to be the best city in the country.
ReplyDeleteNegara ku .........
ReplyDeleteWhat happened on 16 September?
ReplyDeleteKuching ( also Miri, Bintulu and Sibu )will be even much better and safer if the authority can root out the Chinese taikos and their pawns
ReplyDeletewho control public auctions, shamelessly demand
for "protection" fee from pubs and taverns owners, blatantly smuggle timber and whatever
goods on earth you can think of and openly promote prostitution just like the olden days of Shanghai Than.
But then again, it looks like some staff of
the relevant authority are surreptitiouly in cahoots with them.
To make matters worse, there are hordes of brazen criminals and snatch thieves from a neighbouring country who make a killing here.
What a damper!
16th September, Malaysia or Malaya joined Sarawak and NOT Sarawak join Malaya.
ReplyDeleteLots of people said Sarawak join Malaysia on 16th Sept., 1963.
