MERDEKA! I'm proud and happy to be Malaysian

Happy Birthday Malaysia. You're now 52.

We have to look past all the nonsense of politics and just take in all that is good and great about this wonderful and blessed land of ours.

The food is brilliant. The people are wonderful...almost all the time. The ambience is congenial. Life is lived at a languid pace...most of the time. There really isn't anywhere else I would rather live.

Be like the Tunku. Shout Merdeka! seven times tonight.

I've hoisted my Jalur Gemilang. The old one was looking a bit weather-bitten. So, I got a bigger, new Jalur Gemilang. It was fluttering quite nicely against the setting sun just now.

Happy 52nd Birthday, Malaysia!

Negaraku

Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku,
Rakyat hidup, bersatu dan maju,
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,
Raja kita, selamat bertahkta.
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,
Raja kita, selamat bertakhta





Check out the new release from 15Malaysia entitled "Lumpur". The theme is perfectly appropriate for the Merdeka fortnight.

It is because of people like CT Choo, Ariff Sabri, etheorist, satd, sam and hishamh that this country can be great.

As am I if not for the flaw which dampened my celebratory mood somewhat.
