Malaysia has come a long way from the days under the British colony and Japanese occupation to a peaceful and harmonious multi-racial nation that's rich in culture and heritage. Many achievements in this country has made many Malaysians proud like the Penang Bridge which once was one of the longest in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers, Malaysians conquering the Everest and North Pole, Lee Chong Wei in badminton Olympics, Nicol Ann David in being the world number one women's player in squash, the Malaysian men's and women's bowling team and, ok la, chin chai la, the Malaysian who managed to hitch a ride to the international space station. Over 50 years many more were achieved that I may have not mentioned and I do apologise for it. My gratitude and appreciationgoes out to those that were involved in making history for Malaysia and making us proud to be Malaysians.
Previous National Day celebrations in Malaysia was always celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm. Preparations for the day's events, parades, national and state level bash was the norm and can be seen and felt as early as the first week of August. The public were not left out and did their part as well by decorating their vehicles, homes, buildings with the Jalur Gemilang. 50 years of colourful, great and unforgetable National Day memories!!!
So what happened to the very next year after we celebrated our half century independence??!!!
Our natin has been plagued and the Rakyat feels the effect of the weak and useless DSAAB's leadership along with his crap hole loving DSNTR, DSAI Sodomy Part II, ISA dissapearing magic tricks, ACA inefficiency, Polis Raja Di Malaysia's incompetency, ministers doing the Paris Hilton videos, a very questionable justice system, UiTM students demonstrating to the whole that they can't handle a 10% increase in competitiveness, racial tensions and slurs, very high crime rates and inflation, Altantuya's murder and the demise to freedom of speech and expression with the arrest of Malaysian Today's blog editor Raja Petra, is what happened to Malaysia. Not the ideal present to give to our mother land now is it.....
Evident that the Merdeka mood has gone is vehicles decorated to the roof with little Jalur Gemilangs are missing, you don't hear anymore of the patriotic artist Sudirman's songs, petrol stations especially Petronas not giving out any free flags, street lamp post looks naked now as come Merdeka Day it is usually decorated with the Malaysian flag and even Astro has not bothered to remind and wish us happy National Day in between programmes. Sad isn't it what has happened to this day of importance to our nation.....
There is even a blogger who suggested we hang the country's flag upside down to show our dissatisfaction towards the government. Good idea but our near 'dictatorship' government has issued warning that all those caught committing this act of so said treason shall and will be subjected to swearing on the Quran and refusal to do so shall result in ISA sponsored one way dissappearing trip or death by C4 explosives courtesy of Najis.....Hahaha!!!
Can the Malaysian public be blamed for such action and lack of patriotism?? I definately think not. We are going through the dark ages now and missing the Malaysia Boleh Spirit is just natural caused by the present government. They are the ones that should be condemned for diminishing the patriotism in us. I just hope that nothing untowardly will happen on Merdeka Day and we all can enjoy a safe, peaceful holiday albeit feeling a little empty and meaningless on that day.
I pity the children having to grow up now in this pitiful excuse of a government and nation leaders that I hope the kids won't take as their role models. Hope and pray that one day soon they will be able to experience the true Malaysian Merdeka Day spirit.....
Anyhoo...I would like to wish everyone and of course, the beloved Boleh land, a safe and happy Happy Hari Merdeka! Merdeka!! Merdeka!!!
