Malaysia and her 51st Birthday....

To my beloved Malaysia...I would like to dedicate a few words here to do some justice to your hard earned, blood mixed with sweat battled independance....all rewinding back to 1957...Needless to say, I was not even brought into this world yet at that time but anyone else would never say that they do not know how Malaysia's independance was gained 51 years ago... It was a beautiful and memorable classic and will be cherished as long as there is still a single Malaysian in this living earth...One would always admire and treasure how those locals fought their way through months after months, years after years...One would always salute the strong spirited soldiers who marched on despite knowing their lives are put to risk...And one would always cherish all those pain staking efforts by our leaders back then to gain independance for the sake of the people...We belong to where we come from....And finally, on 31st August 1957...Merdeka!Merdeka!Merdeka! It was our Bapa Kemerdekaan, whom finally brought back to us our long lost dignity...And with that, it was a total beginning for everyone since then..A new era, A new chapter of lives....For 51 years, our Malaysia's story was sort of the 'rags to riches' tale...No it was not a total smooth sailing journey for her...It was always filled with challenges along the way..But our pretty and smart Malaysia here would never listen to a word of giving up, hence we are here today, enjoying the hard fruits of labour of our darling Malaysia...51 years we see the unity of the different races in Malaysia...51 years we the generations of Malaysia live under one big roof...And from a totally unknown country 51 years ago, we became one of the popular tourist destination in the world...We lead and secure a position in the industry ocean...We became a country where almost everyone in this world wide would easily recognize....We came out with our own national car in 1981, we successfully built Asia's 3rd longest bridge in Penang, we have our own local twin-tower, and we managed to host both the F1 Race and the Commonwealth Games in 1998....How many countries would have achieved that? I would proudly say Malaysia did it with all her might...Of course there were a few hiccups in Malaysia's political arena but all is well at the end of the day...And because of that we continue to prosper under her...Living on her land for the past 21 years had me feeling that it would be all I would ask for again, given the chance to live my life again...I have seen various progress in our nation's developement and how the lives of Malaysians change....how we live in harmony....To my dearest Malaysia, a word of sincere thanks I would dedicate to you...Without you, there will not be any of us....Malaysia, I love you!!! and Happy 51st Birthday!
