Hmm…Today is Merdeka. In fact, it is the 50th anniversary since Malaysia became independent. Half a century, it deserves some celebration, but definitely not in this way.
I wonder. By all means, shout Merdeka, but don’t do it in such a way that it rings hollow! I guess the opposition was caught, they should have expected something like this. However, such political savvy is hard to come by, from a party that does not seem to want to form the next government. Then again, the political environment and the electoral system is against anyone but the incumbent.
Some news from Malaysia (may not be online long), and Malaysia (ala BBC). Some blog postings, and one from the source of all good.
On a more local note, I like the way today’s Daffodil Day was organised. National Bank even organized a sausage sizzle outside their branches. Nice. People were giving most generously, many in 10 dollar notes.
I’ll end with this problem, how does society move forward without sorting out its core problems (i.e constitution) ?
