Happy 49th Birthday Malaysia !!

MERDEKA !!

31st August 1957. Thats the date Malaysia secured her independance. Fast forwarding 49 years ahead, we have accomplished nothing short of astonishing and fascinating success and growth. Although still at a relatively tender age, we have endured the highs and lows and
stayed united. We managed to survive Confrontation from the Indonesian, separation of Singapore and also the 1997 economic crisis. All these did not weaken our spirit, but made as a stronger and wiser nation.

Today, we managed to develop from a inferior 3rd world country towards a developed nation, which also became model country to other developing countries all over the world. We have seen some massive development throughout the country over the years. For instance, we built not one, but two of the world's tallest building ( at that time ) The Petronas Twin Tower. Other mega projects includes Multimedia Super Corridor ( MSC ) and Sepang Formula One Circuit. There is still more to come as we strive towards developed nation status in accordance to Vision 2020.

Apart from infrastructure development, we have also progressed in terms of racial intergration and colaboration. As a multi-racial and cultural nation, every race has blended harmoniously and played an important role in the country's development. Racial harmony and understanding between all the races in the country without discrimination is an achievement in itself.

Hence, for this Independance Day, lets all stand up and be proud to be proud of our nation Malaysia and waave our nation's flag the Jalur Gemilang with dignity and pride. As there is no place better than our home soil. KeranaMu Malaysia !!
