Happy Malaysia Day 2015

I've just returned from dinner. Quite late, right? Not quite but rather too late actually. Finished at 10.45 pm. On my way back home, I passed through a concert for Malaysia Day at Indera Mulia Stadium. Many people attend it. From what I could see and here from the road, at least more than a thousand attend it. I could hear people singing but I can't tell whether it was a real artist singing or just a cover artist. As I was writing this, I could hear blasts of fireworks. It must be spectacular to watch, even spectacular if I could be there and take photos of the fireworks and show it here.

Back to the main idea. Malaysia Day is celebrated every 16th of September every year since 1963. It commemorates the day of the union of Semenanjung Tanah Melayu, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak under a single coalition known as Persekutuan Malaysia. Though not as important as Independence Day, it is important nonetheless as it has the power to remind us that we are and should be looking each other as a single identity: a Malaysian regardless of ethnicity and religion.

Though tomorrow is going to be another hazy day (thanks to those who burn thousands of kilometers of forests in Sumatra for personal profit of logging), I expect the spirit won't be affected much. Take the concert I mentioned above as an example. People come and enjoy the celebration, way I see it. Well, I just want to say may we not forget this important day and unite under a single banner of Malaysia. To end my entry, I want to share with you a video my friends and I made.

This video is about racial unity in Malaysia. Originally intended as assignment for our General Studies' subject, this video has been put into my Youtube channel because I believe it has the power to send message of unity to the people. Feel free to watch and support our video by giving comments about it and recommend it to your friends!

Happy Malaysia Day 2015.
