Selamat Menyambut Hari Malaysia!!!


Generally, all of us Malaysian know that on August 31, 1957 Persekutuan Tanah Melayu got its indipendence from the British. But, Malaysia was not formed until the 16th of September 1963 when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined the Federation. (Singapore then expelled from the Federation on August 9, 1965). So, Malaysia Day should be considered as equally important to all Malaysians as August 31, 1957 was not the independence day for those in Sabah and Sarawak. Here's a little bit of history for you... Happy Malaysia Day!!!

p.s: Starting from next year, September 16 will be named National Day and given a status of a public holiday while August 31 will be called Independence Day.
