TAHNIAH MALAYSIA !
I'm proud to be Malaysian. It has been 52 glorious years since we achieved our independence. but how independent are we ? We keep on telling people all around the world how much we love our country, but is it really that much ?
When I was little, about 7 or 8 years old, I was so eager to celebrate this Independence day. When we, the whole class got to sing on the stage. It was more like a choir competition. I was an innocent child back then who feels the thrill and excitement to celebrate it only.
But as I grew up, my uncle unveils the story. The family history that makes me proud. Proud to be born in this family and generation.
When I was 10, my uncle came to school upon invitation by the teachers comittee, to tells us story that had never been told before. I was surprised when I knew that my grandfather was one of the army that had been kidnaped to Thailand to help to finish the deadliest railway which had sacrificed thousands. But fortunately my grandpa escaped.
Then I was told that one of my grandfather were killed and they had this monument for the soldier in Singapore if i'm not mistaken. And my grandfather were one of them
I'm proud to be one of his generation. Malaysia is a wonderful country in general. Maybe, most of those people from faraway country doenst know Malaysia.But yet we have a lot to offer here in Malaysia .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA
